@AnnaBower True but at this point it’s all but certain that the judge will side with the government.

This isn’t true. Judge Boulee has not issued a ruling on Fulton County’s motion.

Court sides with DOJ over FBI raid in Fulton County, ruling that the FBI did NOT violate their constitutional rights. Another HUGE WIN for election integrity!

Happy vernal equinox! 🍀
Today marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
After today, the Sun will shine more directly on the Northern Hemisphere than on the Southern Hemisphere until the autumnal equinox.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

Much like humans, CPUs heal in their sleep.
CPUs are *technically* replaceable / wear items. They don’t last forever.
Yet, the moment stress is removed, transistor degradation (partially) reverses.
It's called Bias Temperature Instability (BTI) recovery:

New paper! Allow me to introduce TARS = Torqued Accelerator using Radiation from the Sun. TARS (yes inspired by Interstellar!) is a rotating light sail that's capable of launching chip sats into interstellar space using only radiation from the Sun, so let's dive into how it works

@Rainmaker1973 Just to be clear, the instability of rotation about the intermediate axis was well-known before 1985. It was in most physics and engineering textbooks about free rigid body rotation. It was often referred to as the 'book toss'

In the physical world, almost all information is transmitted through traveling waves -- why should it be any different in your neural network?
Super excited to share recent work with the brilliant @mozesjacobs: "Traveling Waves Integrate Spatial Information Through Time"

To illustrate just how different neutron star and black hole metrics truly are, I simulated perfect fluid accretion onto a black hole vs. onto a neutron star of identical mass and spin.

There's something which almost every major neutron star simulation gets wrong, and it's related to a widespread confusion about the behavior of rotating objects in general relativity. The confusion goes back to one of the most beautiful results in GR: Birkhoff's theorem. (1/14)

Claude Shannon did not *merely* invent relative entropy in the 1940s— by 1951 he got all the way up to the idea of an autoregressive language model for English, and very nearly the encoder–decoder structure.
