"Our government is being run by aggrieved elites who were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else in the 2010s, where they could finally read what we all think about them. And it caused them so much psychic damage that they have decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it will ever happen again."

Romanian National Pleads Guilty To Bank Fraud Involving Over $500,000 In EBT Funds, Illegal Reentry, And Asylum Fraud
OAKLAND – Marius Marian pleaded guilty in federal court today to fraudulently obtaining over $500,000 in Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) funds, illegally reentering the United States following an aggravated felony conviction, and making false statements on his asylum application

Been to the hospital and had the cast removed.
Should make typing easier.
More pain now than when I first went there though. RSI aggravated by the cast. Thumb fucked up by the cast. Wrist hurts when moved.
Apparently I'm to stretch the wrist slowly and gradually recover mobility like wrist yoga. Physio to come maybe.
Have booked a massage for tomorrow to try and realign my frame, all fucked up by the cast and the sitting around for a month.
Do not recommend fracturing bones in your arm. It's an bad scene man.

The Underground Muon Detector of AugerPrime: Status and Performance
As part of the upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory, known as AugerPrime, the Underground Muon Detector is being installed in the low-energy extension of the Surface Detector, allowing for a direct measurement of the muonic component of air showers produced by ultra-high-energy cosmic rays with energies between 10^{16.8} and 10^{19} eV. The detector consists of an array of 30 m2 plastic scintillator detectors buried 2.3 m underground near a water-Cherenkov detector. Two modes of operation ar…

I can't decide who's less likable - Mike Johnson or JD Vance. Vance has a more punchable face, but Johnson is much smoother at being a despicable piece of shit.
Vance is that edgelord that everyone hates but at least you know what they are; Johnson is that evil manager who seems agreeable and nice but then quietly reports you to higher-ups as a problem and makes sure you never get any real opportunities or advance anywhere in your career, and tells any future employers what a…

We all perform tasks in our day-to-day work that are considered 'non-promotable' – these are crucial for project success, but they won't get you promoted. This is commonly known as 'glue work', a term coined by Tanya Reilly. At Berlin Buzzwords 2025, Fatima Taj shared her personal experience of narrowly avoiding the trap of being permanently stuck with glue work and explained how to handle similar situations.

GATEBLEED: Exploiting On-Core Accelerator Power Gating for High Performance & Stealthy Attacks on AI
As power consumption from AI training and inference continues to increase, AI accelerators are being integrated directly into the CPU. Intel's Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) is one such example, debuting on the 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable CPU. We discover a timing side and covert channel, GATEBLEED, caused by the aggressive power gating utilized to keep the CPU within operating limits. We show that the GATEBLEED side channel is a threat to AI privacy as many ML models such as transform…

Flow-dependent tagging of $^{214}$Pb decays in the LZ dark matter detector
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is searching for dark matter interactions in a liquid xenon time projection chamber (LXe-TPC). This article demonstrates how control of the flow state in the LXe-TPC enables the identification of pairs of sequential alpha-decays, which are used to map fluid flow and ion drift in the liquid target. The resulting transport model is used to tag $^{214}$Pb beta-decays, a leading background to dark matter signals in LZ. Temporally evolving volume selections, at a cost …

Low-energy nuclear recoil calibration of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment with a photoneutron source
The LZ experiment is a liquid xenon time-projection chamber (TPC) searching for evidence of particle dark matter interactions. In the simplest assumption of elastic scattering, many dark matter models predict an energy spectrum which rises quasi-exponentially with decreasing energy transfer to a target atom. LZ expects to detect coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering of $^{8}$B solar neutrinos, the signal from which is very similar to a dark matter particle with mass of about 5.5 GeV/$c^{2}$, whi…
