nostalgia for the “computer room” is often sentimentalism, but I do think the core dynamic it represents - making the digital a discrete realm; something partitioned from the rest of life and voluntary, rather than intruding, unasked, into every waking moment - is something genuinely laudable

THE entire NIOSH engineering group has been fired among most ALL of NIOSH. It is devastating. www.cbsnews.com/news/worker-...
Worker safety agency NIOSH lays off most remaining staff
Laid-off employees ranged from those working in firefighter health programs, to those approving new respirators.

It’s very common for leadership at top labs to be in the know of other lab’s release schedules, so the simplest explanation to Meta releasing today is that next week is going to be bonkers, or at least plausibly outshine llama 4 (and they wanted to release last week, but other news was too big).

God, that was hard to bear. Students told a physics town hall that grad schools have rescinded admission. NSF proposals are censored for words like “bias,” even when the meaning is technical. Physics curricula are being banned by school districts for encouraging girls. #APSGlobalSummit2025 #APSMarch

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.
They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

A standing ovation for federal workers by the thousands of physicists who are meeting in Anaheim this week, supporting their colleagues in science agencies who couldn’t afford—or weren’t allowed—to come. Sorry, no pictures, in part out of green-card holders’ fears. #APSGlobalSummit2025 #APSMarch

Holy shit. This is *the* gold-standard measurement of atmospheric CO2 -- the one in all the charts.
The Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, according to a list obtained by Democratic members of Congress and shared with The Post.
Trump moves to close facility that helps track planet-warming pollution
The lab is connected to the Mauna Loa Observatory, where scientists gather data to produce the Keeling Curve, a chart on the daily status of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.

feeling happy must be a symmetry or gauge equivariance of/in a lie group/algebra of noumena. and monoid homomorphisms are what makes the precognitive grasping nature at the moment of binding senses into familiar objects feel very lucid. but their magnitudes might just be an artifact of misperception
