The laws of physics are best understood at standard temperatures and pressures, where we have loads of data. To understand how physics works in more extreme circumstances, we have to create those circumstances and then measure what happens. At CERN, they accelerate particles very fast, smash them together, and record and analyze what happened. This is how they observed the Higgs boson and measured its properties.

From the article, it looks like one of the experiments is to shoot the laser into an oncoming high speed beam of electrons. One of the things they’re looking for is if this high amount of energy causes matter and anti matter pairs to spontaneously form and annihilate. Our theories predict this but the more ways we can measure it the more we can learn, for instance about what happened right after the big bang, and why we were left with matter instead of everything annihilating symmetrically.

Yeah unfortunately

No this is an example where sarcasm and stupidity can’t be distinguished via text alone.

Looks like the printer company did not have antivirus on their systems.

I like the little typo … c:// :)

I had a similar experience and this is what made me switch away from Apple computers.

I’m so tired of this. It feels like an onslaught.

Back in 2008 or whatever I let Google handle my voicemails, and I enjoyed the convenience of the machine-transcriptions.

Now I wonder if my voicemails are being studied and trained on or whatever.

Sewing is fading away but maybe that’s different enough

I have the regular F-droid and it does automatic updates now.

The second part of the article states that the stealer logs he’s shown up in only come from computers infected with malware. And it’s possible, even more likely than not, that he used this personal computer for government work.

How about pooping on top of the toilet reservoir?

Also reputation

How can matrix be insecure when it keeps locking me out of my own messages?

Not sure how this relates, but I just read the novel “Lord of Light” where the human founders of a colony planet install themselves as gods and install “pray-o-matic” machines for the populace so they can exchange currency for good karma, which will influence whether they get reborn as a human (because they also created this technology).

Maybe they like the technology and that’s why they’re downvoting the story.

Is it really open source or just open weights

The about us looks really cool, actually. I was pleasantly surprised.

I would want to get on a de-Googled grapheneos phone, but I know some apps will be painful to give up (e.g. Google Calendar) and I can’t predict how many apps will not be installable or not work correctly without Google Play services.
