    Before you all get mad that this is about sports, there’s a lot of discussion of the science of women’s athletics, such as

    It was fitted by Prof Joanna Wakefield-Scurr, from the University of Portsmouth, who proudly goes by the nickname the Bra Professor.

    Here are her breast facts:

    *Breasts can bounce an average of 11,000 times in a football match

    *An average bounce is 8cm (3in) without appropriate support

    *They move with up to 5G of force (five times the force of gravity), comparable to the experience of a Formula 1 driver

    Laboratory experiments – using motion sensors on the chest – have revealed how a shifting mass of breast tissue alters the movement of the rest of the body, and in turn, sporting performance.

    WebGPU has been in Chrome since version 113, and Safari has plans to release it this fall.

    From the article

    This modern graphics API provides web apps with direct access to a device’s GPU, unlocking way more power than older web graphics tech like WebGL.

    To put it simply, WebGPU enables smoother gaming, richer visualizations, and faster local computation within the browser.

    For developers eager to dive in, there’s a solid WebGPU tutorial, a collection of WebGPU Samples to experiment with, and full API documentation over at MDN. The tech itself is backed by two W3C standards—WebGPU and WGSL—both of which Mozilla has helped shape since 2017.
