I thought the same. The "scheduled" part of the message is gone now, at least on the instance I use.

Ongoing. It is not "down" but purposefully offline for "maintenance." Main status does show the LMS (all the course stuff) down, and my instance shows "up" but that's because (I assume) you can reach it an

And grades are due in the next week or so for many of these (usually a quick deadline at the end of the semester due to graduation happening)...

I didn't have issues with sleep/wake until somewhat recently (not sure when) and found this post. Grabbing the patch from the commit referenced and using it on top of 6.12 and 6.13 kernels seems to have fixed it for me too (for th

Wow, that is a lot of tabs. I always thought it was funny when people would say they have "a lot" and it was dozens or hundreds at most, while I was in the 1500 range. I did close them all: https://www.vice.com/en&

Thanks for mentioning this, hadn't heard of it and looking forward to watching!

But isn't that exactly it, that these (and healthcare) are very much part of the "market?" The goal to make money and to provide healthcare are at fundamental odds if you ask me. (Or they don't have to be, but the natura

I think there is a big piece that is left unsaid here: capitalism. If we had to boil down a university to one imperative, it sadly seems to make money (ideally, for some, as a means towards the true ends). Lots of good points raised, as I c

I've seen this in reference to knowing when stainless steel cookware is ready to put oil on it, so that you don't get sticking and burning, i.e. small droplet of water shouldn't sizzle and evaporate but Leidenfrost. But I hav

Fine, rather than "underlying theory" use some other words, basically does any new proposal give us predictions, solve some unexplained phenomenon, do something simpler and more compelling (sure, a matter of taste, but so is all o

Absolutely. I'm out of the field these days, but e.g supersymmetric WIMP dark matter was the most popular but got more and more clugely with low energy supersymmetry seeming less likely (or not as useful in solving the problems it mean

I won't get into an argument about MOND. Don't take my word for it, take the vast majority (all but a few?) of anyone working in the field. And don't take Milgrom's word for it (or the one reference given) either, for th

After a little more of a skim: the paper seems mostly to be about reproducing an equation like that of MOND (modified Newtonian dynamics). Which, fine, some people are fans of MOND (not most, and for good reason from the theoretical which t

The article in question here is a followup to that, as a preprint and linked in this submission: "In a recent paper [0], which has not been peer-reviewed" [0] https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.19459

A peer review and a popular article exploring the proposal, though written by someone pretty qualified, are not the same thing. At the very least the audience and evidence presented are not nearly the same.

In classic internet fashion I only did a quick skim/search of the article and preprint of the paper (linked in this article). However, neither make mention of the bullet cluster [0] or "particle dark matter" and seem to rely

Fun (or I guess "fun" depending on the outcome here) detective story. But would be nice to have the context of what sort of company this Pi was found at. What might be a motive to be tracking devices and be inside the network?

Not exactly a side project, but same idea: After not getting a faculty job (and after a couple of postdocs) a wrote an essay about failure in academia. At the urging of a friend, I pitched it to a place that liked it and published it. The r
