Attention heads: this is the 60s calling. Cap'n Crunch wants his Bo'sun whistle back for SS5 in-band prompting.

When LLM reports the bug, is should be used to fix it on the same occasion. Nobody will bother afterwards.

It's BASIC. LET them GOTO jail (BSD also comes to mind)

(see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_licensing_corruption... ) The upside: the EU finally got a prosecutor. And last but not least everybody forgot why the Baby Bells were born.

CERN builds almost next to nothing anymore. Half a century ago they really did do RF cavities, cooling, electronics etc. Not anymore. It is either COTS (DELL, Alterra etc.) or chiefly vendor bidding for some custom parts. Much like what NASA (from Rocketdyne, TRW to Boeing and SpaceX) or copycat ESA (Airbus, DLR, BAE's suppliers) does today.

It is a project bureau. Everything is essentially outsourced, leaving a management shell institute to parade for VIPs. Actually they are close to completely forgetting what they already knew in the hard sciences domain.

Other news, is that HEP has used FPGAs for L0 triggers (amongst others) for decades. These always had a diverse selection criteria in their algorithms, event filters, suppression, weights etc. And just mentioning, that some custom radhard simple readout silicon from the likes of STM isn't any news either.

And for historians: Delphi people (amongst others) had papers on Higgs selection using (A)NN from LEP data (overfit :) , obviously without the 5 sigma. It was an argument for LHC.

Dear downvoters/shadowbanners: do your homework.

I've got to say, the IKEA PS 2014 lamp is really a Death Star - not just because of its spherical shape, but also because it played a significant role in bankrupting the factory that produced it. According to Wikipedia, the Szarvasi Vas-Fémipari Zrt. factory in Hungary had big plans to expand its production in 2011, including manufacturing high-end design lamps for Western European markets. By 2018, they had invested 2 billion forints in a development project that would make them the exclusive supplier of one of IKEA's lamp families. At its peak, the factory was producing 130,000 coffee makers and 2 million lamps per year. However, it seems that producing the PS 2014 lamp at a price point that was too low to be sustainable ultimately led to the factory's downfall. It's a cautionary tale about the risks of prioritizing low costs over sustainability and fair labor practices. The Death Star lamp may have been a stylish and affordable addition to many homes, but its production came at a significant cost to the workers and community involved.

Carole Cadwalladr: Six years ago I was sued for libel. This time, I call Silicon Valley collaborators and data rapists. What could possibly go wrong?
