In case you missed it, new particle just dropped. The LHC has confirmed (and in ridiculous accuracy) the existence of a heavier version of the proton.
A proton is made of 3 quarks, up/up/down. This new particle is made of charm/charm/down, where the charm quark is basically the same as the up, just heavier.
So not groundbreaking like finding supersymmetric particles, but still cool. Further confirmation that the standard model of particle physics is reasonable.

Hey Simon Gardner, James Pearson and Blake Morrison. That was not journalism, that was just Doxing. Shame on you. I hope you will never get a job in journalism again. And may your sleeves always get wet, when washing your hands.

I’m catching up on the news today and see that Nvidia forecasts $1T in GPU sales over the next 18 months. That is crazy. I don’t know how that works at any level

If Trump’s ongoing plan to cause hyperinflation of the US Dollar succeeds (as it shows every chance of doing) this seems feasible.

I’ve wondered for a while if this is the plan for most ‘AI’ data centres:

1. Borrow hundreds of billions via fixed-rate bonds.
2. Build a thing.
3. Crash the economy so hard that a billion dollars is the price of six eggs.
4. Repay the loans.

the *european* payment processor - #nexi - that the FSFE was using for donations, was doing some disproportional requests violating the #privacy of the #donors to the FSFE, and in the fog of war cancelled the contract with the #FSFE. Now the FSFE is hunting to get those 450 donors attention and donations back. details in this archived mail: https://ctrlc.hu/~stef/fsfe-nexi.txt

maybe some journalist could shine some attention at this case?

in linux you can use the evil bird emoticon (:>) to destroy files, eg `:> important_document.txt`

the bird will eat the file and leave it completely empty!

Fun stuff from my team mates Rene Rehme @renereh1, Nina Piontek and @kantorkel:

Shall we stop calling them "social networks" and give them a more descriptive and accurate naming, like "Advertisment agregators and political view manipulative instruments".

I know, is not catchy, but at least it doesn't give the impression that you are interacting socially in a posstive and human way.
