Firefighters rescued a small dog that had been missing for weeks after finding it swimming into the San Francisco Bay.
The dog had gone missing over the Fourth of July weekend, according to the Menlo Park fire protection district.
But someone called 911 on 16 July to say they had seen a dog enter the bay near the Dumbarton Bridge in East Palo Alto.
The dog “just kept swimming”, according to a Menlo Park fire district Instagram post.

Four Gemini 4 Argon agents beat Minecraft without any human help
Four AI agents running on Google's Gemini 4 Argon have beaten Minecraft for the first time without human help, slaying the Ender Dragon in a fully autonomous run. With no predefined roles or strategies, they coordinated on their own, wrote 2,783 programs, exchanged 229 chat messages, and died 605 times. The session cost $1,620.

A belief in meritocracy is not only false: it’s bad for you
Meritocracy has become a leading social ideal. Politicians across the ideological spectrum continually return to the theme that the rewards of life—money, power, jobs, university admission—should be distributed according to skill and effort.

Sensitivity of silicon-to-water dose conversion and Bragg-peak metrics to stopping-power datasets in proton dosimetry

Abstract: Accurate proton dosimetry requires consistent stopping-power data for detector-to-water conversion and Monte Carlo radiation transport. We quantify the sensitivity of water-to-silicon stopping-power ratios, converted dose-to-water distributions, and Bragg-peak metrics to the stopping-power dataset for a 67.5 MeV pristine proton beam in water. PHITS simulations used SRIM-2013, PSTAR/NIST, ATIMA, and TDDFT-Penn stopping powers up to 10 MeV, together with a common SBETHE-based extension at higher energies. The water-to-silicon stopping-power ratio showed relative entrance-to-distal variations of 17.40%$-$22.10%. Conversion of normalized PTW silicon-diode percentage-depth-ionization data yielded relative percentage-depth-dose curves with a common maximum at 36.86 mm, consistent with the experimental Bragg-peak depth of (36.81 $\pm$ 0.15) mm. The converted curves were approximately 3% below the reference throughout the entrance and plateau regions, while deviations of up to 2.1% occurred near the Bragg peak. Direct PHITS calculations predicted Bragg-peak depths of 36.575$-$36.675 mm; only the TDDFT-Penn result lay within the quoted experimental uncertainty. These results show that stopping-power treatment affects the magnitude of the converted dose more strongly than the Bragg-peak position does, and that it should be harmonized or explicitly included in uncertainty budgets for proton-beam calibration, commissioning, quality assurance, and Monte Carlo validation.
