So I had to go through the nightmare of building a package that uses the Conan package manager.
First it refused to even start because my GCC version is too new. Not "does something wrong", simply "not in our supported version list". So I've created a Conda environment and installed older GCC.
Then it turned out that it pulls its own GCC 9 package anyway, and apparently from a server with horribly low bandwidth.
And then some random package failed to build because it ended up using my system GCC 15 anyway 🤦.

One thing I think the news reports are missing about the guy killed by an MRI machine while wearing a 9kg metal chain, is that you *can't* flip a switch and quickly turn off the magnetism, even in emergency situations. Shutting down is a slow involved process, and many MRI magnets are always active for their working life.

In this study, we consider a problem of remote safety monitoring, where a monitor pulls status updates from multiple sensors monitoring several safety-critical situations. Based on the received updates, multiple estimators determine the current safety-critical situations. Due to transmission errors and limited channel resources, the received status updates may not be fresh, resulting in the possibility of misunderstanding the current safety situation.

Dopant-induced stabilization of three-dimensional charge order in cuprates
We investigate the microscopic mechanisms behind the stabilization of three-dimensional (3D) charge order by Pr doping in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$ (YBCO7). Density-functional-theory calculations locate the lowest-energy Pr superlattices for both Ba- and Y-site substitution. In the Ba-site case, the smaller Pr ion pulls the surrounding atoms inward. This breathing-mode distortion pins charge-stripe walls to the Pr columns and forces them to align along the $c$ axis. Y-site Pr is larger than the host i…
