Skoda developed (with the University of Salford) an all-mechanical bicycle bell that bypasses active noise cancellation (ANC) in headphones.

It's tuned to 750hz, which is a "blind spot" in most ANC headphone processing.
There is also a resonator for a higher frequency, and the hammer produces irregular strikes, confusing the ANC further, and making pedestrians look behind them faster.

Ĺ koda DuoBell: A bicycle bell that outsmarts even smart headphones - Ĺ koda Storyboard

Pedestrians wearing headphones are exposed to an increased risk of accidents. In an effort to reduce collisions with cyclists, Ĺ koda Auto, in collaboration with scientists, introduces an innovative bicycle bell whose sound can penetrate even active noise cancellation systems. In doing so, it helps prevent injuries to both pedestrians and cyclists.

Hi there. A little callout before the weekend.

We're looking for someone versed well enough in legal structures such as Foundations and Associations in the Netherlands, to help us out with some advise regarding those.

If there is anyone in the Fedi or if you know anyone who could help us with some professional advise, please get in touch (free or paid).
Life pro tip: If someone talks about AI agents and you can word replace "AI agents" with "God" and it still makes sense, they probably don't know what they're talking about.

Had much fun watching the “The Making of Lemmings” 35th anniversary documentary. Brings back some good memories.

In my online undergraduate P5.js course, students are about to begin the module on motion and physics, including a bit of physics simulation using Matter.js. It suddenly occurred to me that I had never seen anybody put together this particular demo before, and I realized it had to be done. Messy source code at https://editor.p5js.org/isohedral/full/vJa5RiZWs.

🤯 A visual physics lesson at 80 km/h.

Enthusiasts launched a man from a moving truck in the opposite direction - at the same speed the car was traveling.

The experiment spectacularly showed how relative speed works.
