someone show doug hofstadter asap!

with fast enough detector and electronics (make sure to disable the Bessel filter on NI digitizers programmable via ScanImage), shifting the output phase to the sweet spot increases brightness substantially. I found that SNR was higher with filters enabled, however

The easiest way I found to explore this was with a digital PLL synced to laser clock (I used a Moku:Lab's Phasemeter app)

There's an exclusive, closed-to-media MAHA summit tomorrow. Here's the full agenda I was leaked

In attendance will be JD Vance, RFK Jr, Bhattacharya, Makary, actor Russell Brand (who is facing rape and sexual assault charges), and dozens of other MAHA influencers and people in Trump's orbit

“AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations,” says Cory Doctorow.

End of October! Solicitation seemingly on the way

join us for our Science Fair for Suspended Research, sponsored by the UCLA Faculty Association and the UCLA Brain Research Institute! We are reaching out to the public to show the life-saving research that is at stake in the Trump admin's attack on UCLA research!

No suffering, no death, no limits: the nanobots pipe dream | Aeon Essays Thirty years ago, nanotech was about to change everything. Let’s not get tricked again by Silicon Valley’s magical thinking

"We are entranced by such ‘existential risk’ discourse when it comes from a Musk, a Bezos, or others who have fallen into the orbit of the San Francisco consensus. And if we take their dream, we have to take their nightmare too."

Very efficiency

Have any major scientific meetings announced plans to leave the USA?

Water has receded to expose the reef in Hanalei Bay as another flight lines up to land at Lihue. Seemingly no issues for aviation over 30 minutes into the tsunami

UAL1805 has landed safely with UAL1170 on final

Most flights have diverted back to mainland except a few over 3 hours out from Honolulu which are still transponding as heading west

Top tracked plane on FlightRadar24 is UAL300 which just diverted back to San Francisco about halfway through the flight

Interested to see what these flights to HNL do as they're slated to land around the same time the first waves do

Utterly infuriating

Lol

Yeah, I don't know how else to interpret the inset figure

Having trouble understanding why anyone would choose to work at Palantir

ChatGPT?

I don't feel that "ChatGPT is dumb to me, actually" is a particularly incisive response to what's happening

Orbit diagram of interstellar object A11pl3Z

FACT THREAD on New Interstellar Object #A11pl3Z

This story unfolded pretty fast yesterday for a few reasons. The object was discovered on July 1st UTC by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS team. A #NASA funded survey at the University of Hawaii. atlas.fallingstar.com 🔭🧪

follow up question: how much does it matter

2P rig question: does anyone have a quick way to assess alignment between pixel clock and laser pulse?

Thank you Max Planck for a wonderful week of inspiring neuroscience!
