what does "sidestep laws" mean

By filing Freedom of Information requests, 404 Media has obtained bodycam footage and documents that uncover stories about tech that powers ICE and how cops abuse Flock. You can FOIA too! On July 30th at 1 pm ET, we will teach you how to file a FOIA request live: www.404media.co/our-new-foia...

“ @kpc.bsky.social writes with a scientist’s sharpness and observational power about what it means to be a queer, non-binary immigrant and find belonging and build a career between the edges of rigid societal expectations.” — @vesnajaksiclowe.bsky.social

This is really, really bad. This is one of the complexes we use to communicate with spacecraft in deep space. The effects of climate change are extending out into the Solar System.

Once more for the folks who joined late: Food safety is a food waste issue,

Trying and failing to think of other reporting that illustrates how blatantly surveillance can be something applied to most of us without recourse but that the elite can choose to opt out of.

As an international student who took 6 years to finish a PhD, I can't but find this disastrous www.aip.org/fyi/us-caps-...

The medalists gave a press conference where they discussed their cautious enthusiasm for AI, being inspired by their mentors, playing with math in childhood, finding joy in a research field where most days involve failing, and how mathematics will never run out of problems

Finally, Hong Wang, the third woman to win the Fields Medal was cited for work in harmonic analysis, including a devilish problem of rotating a thin line through as little volume as possible while covering all of its orientations

Then, Jacob Tsimerman was recognized for interdisciplinary work bringing tools from model theory into other fields of physics, including chipping away at one of the million dollar Millennium Prize Problems

Next, John Pardon was awarded the Fields Medal for work on distortions of knots embedded in toruses, resolving a question from the 80s, and work on classifying curves and shapes that feature in string theory

www.newscientist.com/article/2472... I’ve reported on this work before, it’s a feat of mathematics that gets us closer to understanding our physical universe. Super cool!

First announced winner was Yu Deng, for remarkable work on stitching laws on physics across different scales into one, solving a problem that David Hilbert identified as fundamental over a century ago

The Fields Medal is awarded every four years, typically at the International Congress of Mathematicians, to up to 4 mathematicians under 40. This year ICM is in Philadelphia and opened with a live band!

Happy Fields Medal day to all who celebrate. My write-up oh the winners for New Scientist and some notes on the ceremony below www.newscientist.com/article/2580...

🧵 Three more scientists - brain scientists - leaving the US due to Trump's assault on science. This time for the UK. Ron Mangun and Tamara Swaab are leaving University of California, Davis for University of Birmingham, and Megan Peters is leaving University of California, Irvine ...

the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding

What happens after you revolutionize a field? Peter Shor is one of the researchers who had a profound impact on the history of quantum computing, giving it a huge part of its reason to exist. He is a living legend, his algorithm is a foundational text, and he spoke to me for @newscientist.com

SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal judge has approved a $1.5 billion copyright settlement in which artificial intelligence company Anthropic will pay thousands of authors about $3,000 per book after using pirated copies of their works to train its Claude chatbot. abcnews.com/Technology/w...
