Well that's good to know. Chinese quantum computers haven't actually cracked military encryption. And likely not financial system encryption as well.

Also good to know. A physicist shows that it's better to run out of the rain than walk. Good thing we have physics, eh?

Ever since Peter Todd was unmasked as Satoshi Nakamoto, he's been in hiding. He denies it, and people should just leave him alone.

We saw yesterday that anyone can just print a Washington ballot online. So the GOP is suing. Turns out Oregon has something similar. There seems to be so much potential for cheating during this election. Because the Dems are determined not to let Donald Trump win, even if he gets the votes.

This person thinks that coding using AI-assistance will make you a bad coder. I'm not so sure. I use it to help interpret jupyter Lab's cryptic error messages. Most coders use Google and Stack Exchange anyway, so why not cut to the chase and get the answer quickly? I have learned a lot from seeing what Claude 3.5 Sonnet recommends. If I don't agree, I challenge it, and it provides alternate code. But you have to know the basics, or else it's just mindless copying.

Here's another paper suggesting that we take another look at the potential harms from mobile phone radiation.
Our findings indicate that mobile phone specific high frequency electromagnetic fields do not cause acute chromosomal damage in oral mucosa cells under the present experimental conditions. However, we found clear evidence for disturbance of the cell cycle and cytotoxicity. These effects may play a causal role in the induction of adverse long term health effects in humans.
The scientists didn't use a phone for the experiment, but used patch antennas taped to the subjects' cheeks. They were radiated for two hours. So it's not quite the same as a commercially available phone.These abnormalities include: nuclear anomalies, which are indicative for acute cytotoxic effects (karyorhectic cells, condensed chromatin) and disturbed cytokinesis (binucleated cells).Notably in the present study we found also an increase of condensed chromatin.Our present results show clearly that the number of karyorhectic cells is increased after the exposure. This effect was dose-dependent.
Wallet Hub ranked states by how much employers are struggling to find employees to hire. They looked at the number of job openings, and the worst was California, then Hawaii, then Washington. Oregon was ranked #21, just above the middle, which surprised me. Why aren't there many job openings? Maybe because labor is too expensive.

Denny's plans to close 150 locations. Locations weren't disclosed but some could be in Oregon. All that lost tax base. More to apply for unemployment benefits. Yep, it's that lousy economy again.

Grrrr. A study showed that puberty blockers don't really improve the mental health of kids with "gender distress" as the activists believed. But publication was withheld because "it might be weaponized by opponents of the care." What?? Shouldn't the public know? So kids have continued to be injected by potentially harmful and completely unnecessary drugs. And to reveal the truth is weaponization? Woke science needs to be overhauled.

In the interest of studying the consequences of cardiac arrest, Chinese researchers were successfully able to revive pig brains that suffered cardiac arrest and hypoxia for up to 50 minutes, but only if the liver remained intact. The presence of hepatic ischemia meant that the brains were not recoverable. So the question is: what is the providing to the brain, or what is it detoxifying? And I finally know why they call it the liver.

Everyone wants to strike! It looks like hospitalists at Prov St Vincents Med Center may strike. Doctors at the outpatient Women's Clinic may strike, too. This looks like something Providence could weather. Providence will probably hire someone from across the river to pinch hit for a day. No big deal. Pay that person enough and there will be takers. This is what happens when doctors became employees. It's not like the old days, when they had professional status and power. Now, they are just sheep.
