#Windows11's new #StickyNotes app (a thinly disguised #OneNote) is fucking annoying. Since it is so-called "smart", and it attempts to provide context around the "source" of your note, its window is…

Windows 11 sticky notes app showing a note I just made. It captured the fact that before switching TO it, I was working in a browser window.
If I tab AWAY, unless I blow it open to its own little subwindow, the note itself closes (which I guess is reasonable). And for some reason the "+Note" and "Screenshot" buttons now appear. The addition of these buttons now shifts my list of notes down, visually disruptive.
If I tab to another application (or back to a browser as here), that "Recent notes" label changes to "Your notes from <Vivaldi icon> <name of webpage> - Vivaldi". Which is yet ANOTHER visual disruption out of the corner of my eye.
And there's a setting called "Remember the source: Automatically capture the active window information to help you remember better." with a checkbox. If you uncheck this box, the stupid label change remains, all that stops is where the top of your note has a snip of `Source: <what window you had open>`. The visual disruption of that label changing, and having the +Note/Screenshot buttons appear and disappear all the time is annoying AF.

Heads up folks. #slack is joining the list of companies who think it’s OK to opt groups of users into an #AI / #LLM system without their explicit consent.

Relativistic implications of entropy and purity
Joseph Balsells, Martin Bojowald
arxiv.org/abs/2506.14705 arxiv.org/p…

Relativistic implications of entropy and purity
A quantum object is extended by virtue of quantum uncertainty. Subjected to gravity, it therefore experiences tidal forces and other relativistic effects. As a result, entropy and purity affect geodesic motion and acquire weight, an observation that has broad implications from free-fall experiments to Hawking radiation. If the object's position is quantum correlated in at least two directions, a complete description of its geodesic motion requires non-Riemannian geometry of a form controlled by…

The ejection and detectability of high- and hyper-velocity stars by compact object binaries in globular clusters

arxiv.org/abs/2506.14273

The ejection and detectability of high- and hyper-velocity stars by compact object binaries in globular clusters
The dense cores of Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) play host to a variety of dynamical encounters between stellar objects, which can accelerate stars to velocities high enough to escape the GC. The most extreme examples of these encounters are interactions between single GC stars and binaries including at least one compact object. These interactions can result in ejection velocities of up to several hundred $\mathrm{km \ s^{-1}}$, approaching or even exceeding the escape velocity of the Galax…
