MIT researchers use Frontier to model the density, pressure inside neutron stars
For astrophysicists, neutron stars stand out as objects of irresistible fascination — perhaps, in part, because of how difficult they are to decipher. But calculations conducted on the Frontier supercomputer, located at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, have revealed new clues about the inner workings of neutron stars.
Retirement of the Bishop of Liverpool
Having received the news of the retirement of the Bishop of Liverpool, we acknowledge his decision in taking this step for the good of the Diocese of Liverpool. This is a deeply painful situation, and we hold all concerned in our prayers. We will be liaising with the Archbishop of York in the coming days to establish interim episcopal oversight for the diocese.
Copyright Protection for Works Generated by Artificial Intelligence
This article argues that AI-generated works should receive copyright protection because they are precisely the sort of things designed to be protected. Copyright law, while often framed in terms of benefiting authors, has primarily broader and more utilitarian social goals: promoting the generation and dissemination of works. While critics are of course correct that AI is not motivated to work by the prospect of copyright protection, that argument is a straw man. Rather than motivating machines ...

Top Shelf
Top Shelf By William Schryver – imetatronink – July 1, 2024 I grow weary of the increasingly pervasive myth that the US/NATO has sent to Ukraine nothing but its antiquated equipment and munitions. SOME of the equipment sent has been older generation specimens. But ALMOST EVERYTHING sent is representative of what would constitute a large proportion of any US/NATO front-line combined arms army.
This Energy Transition Thing Really Is Not Happening
This Energy Transition Thing Really Is Not Happening By Francis Menton | Manhattan Contrarian | June 25, 2024 From reading the left-wing media, you know (or think you know) that there is an energy “transition” going on. This is something that must happen as a matter of urgent necessity. Vast government subsidies are being disbursed to assure its rapid success. Fossil fuels are rapidly on the way out, while wind and solar are quickly taking over.
Russia Threatens US Drones in Black Sea Aiding Attacks on Crimea
Russia Threatens US Drones in Black Sea Aiding Attacks on Crimea By Kyle Anzalone | The Libertarian Institute | June 30, 2024 In response to Ukrainian attacks on the Crimean Peninsula, tensions between the US and Russia have significantly escalated, with Moscow threatening US drones operating over the Black Sea. The Kremlin says the drones are part of the Ukrainian operations in the region.

The Supreme Court Ruling Isn’t the End of the Online Free Speech Battle
The Supreme Court Ruling Isn’t the End of the Online Free Speech Battle By Didi Rankovic | Reclaim The Net | June 30, 2024 The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) civil rights group is not giving up on the free speech fight it has been conducting on behalf of the respondents/plaintiffs in the Murthy v. Missouri case. The tactic is now to go for expanded discovery, aimed at demonstrating direct harm caused by government censorship.

Bye, Sentinel? ‘Good Reasons’ to Shelve US Missile Program
Bye, Sentinel? ‘Good Reasons’ to Shelve US Missile Program By Oleg Burunov – Sputnik – 30.06.2024 The future of the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile has been up in the air since January 2024, when the US Air Force announced that the program had suffered “critical” cost and schedule overruns. There are “pretty good chances” that the Pentagon will cancel the Sentinel nuclear missile program after its review, retired US Air Force Lt. Col.
Applications of flow models to the generation of correlated lattice QCD ensembles
Machine-learned normalizing flows can be used in the context of lattice quantum field theory to generate statistically correlated ensembles of lattice gauge fields at different action parameters. This work demonstrates how these correlations can be exploited for variance reduction in the computation of observables.
How the JAMS Artificial Intelligence Rules Will Improve Dispute Resolution | JD Supra
With deep experience in both AI and dispute resolution, we are the co-creators of the JAMS Artificial Intelligence Disputes Clause, Rules and Protective Order (AI Rules). We created these rules to address some of the challenges posed by AI-related disputes. Tailored rules can result in fairer outcomes that are faster and cheaper. JAMS is already seeing a growing number of AI-related disputes, and this will continue as both AI capabilities and industry adoption grow.
Lattice quantum chromodynamics at large isospin density
We present an algorithm to compute correlation functions for systems with the quantum numbers of many identical mesons from lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The algorithm is numerically stable and allows for the computation of n-pion correlation functions for n∈{1,…,N} using a single N×N matrix decomposition, improving on previous algorithms.

Memoirist Dodges Suit After Odd Obama Claims
WASHINGTON (CN) - A man whose memoir leveled accusations of gay sex, drug use and murder at President Barack Obama does not have to face defamation claims from a political blogger he accused of rigging a lie-detector test, a federal judge ruled. Larry Sinclair made headlines during the 2008 presidential campaign with a short YouTube videoin which he claimed that he and Obama had engaged in gay sex and drug use one night in a limousine during Obama's tenure as an Illinois state senator in 1999.

First Amendment Tour de Florida: Stage 3, Tavares to Yulee
Acting like a trade association, Florida’s elected court clerks have seized control of the portal through which public records are created and seen. Why? Follow the money. The Florida clerks created a for-profit company to manage the portal and collect convenience fees and credit surcharges on the half-billion dollars that flows through the Florida court system. The for-profit company then distributes “dividends” to the clerks association.
Tour de Florida, Stage 2: Palm Beach to Orlando
Florida’s courts were once committed to First Amendment access. With the advent of electronic filing, court clerks organized themselves and took control of e-filing and public access through a for-profit company. Based on an ongoing lawsuit, the company generates millions of dollars in excess “convenience fees,” while locking up public documents. Touring Florida’s courts, Courthouse News bureau chief Ryan Abbott found a smoking hulk of what used to be.
Republicans Call D.C. Circuit|Nominations ‘Court-Packing’
WASHINGTON (CN) – Republicans at a House Judiciary Committee hearing condemned President Obama’s nominations to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals as political court-packing that will cost U.S. taxpayers an unnecessary $1 million per judge per year. “These three nominations, with the confirmation of another, is intended to pack the D.C. Circuit to capacity of 11 authorized judgeships,” said Rep.
Tour de Florida: Stage 1, Key West to Fort Lauderdale
As Florida’s public access “matrix” — a complex set of permission levels which restrict access to court records — is being taken as a model to follow by some states, we thought it worth looking once more at what the matrix has done to what once was excellent press access in Florida. The Courthouse News bureau chief, Ryan Abbott, toured the courts of Florida trying to review court records. Here’s what happened: Key West Abbott started at the southernmost point of the state in early October.
Dispatches From Limbo
Social distancing on the sand bars of Assawoman Bay, Maryland. (Courthouse News photo / Ryan Abbott) Ocean City, Maryland, is a ghost town. And full of tourists. In the midst of a global pandemic, while cities across the country burn and protests rage, my six-year-old son Miles unsnaps his bicycle helmet, wipes the sweat off his brow and looks out over the shallow, salty water of the Assawoman Bay.

LTE: The Il-liberty of Protest
In regard to Miss Chang’s response on October 21st, 2019: Miss Chang attempts to justify her intellectual intolerance with false and misleading claims on Mr. Sessions’ credibility. She notes that one news outlet ranked Mr. Sessions as a heavy conservative out of 55 senators 12 years ago alluding that it makes Mr. Sessions as a conservative extremist. It does not: Mr. Sessions’ core beliefs are held by a majority of every type of conservative, according to 2017 data from the Pew Research Center.
LTE: Confronting intellectual intolerance
In response to Miss Chang’s op-ed on October 14th, 2019: Miss Chang’s op-ed protesting the arrival of Mr. Sessions to Northwestern begs the question: Who is truly tolerant? It is strange that she would protest a speech from a conservative figure holding mainstream conservative beliefs, a man she claims is full to the brim with intolerance, by being herself systematically intolerant.
Dispatches From Home: The Annapolis Shooting
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (CN) – A little more than a month ago, the Navy Blue Angels streaked over Spa Creek in Annapolis to celebrate another commissioning week for the U.S. Naval Academy; this week, bullets smashed through the glass doors of the Capital Gazette’s newsroom, and a lone gunman killed five and gravely injured many more. Courthouse News Service, if you haven’t gathered by now, is a national publication comprised of reporters and editors who work in a virtual newsroom.
Why we should start taxing the robots that are taking human jobs
Automation promises to be one of the great social challenges of our generation. The fear that robots will steal our jobs is an old one. But it’s being felt all the more acutely thanks to the rise of new technology. What’s often overlooked is the role that tax policies play in this. Current policies in many countries, including the US and UK, encourage automation even when it would not otherwise be efficient.
Please, Turn On Notifications
I don’t ask you for much. I’m not like those other apps that are all over you to agree with their new terms of service or hand over your cell number. The odd App Store review here and there, the occasional invite to purchase the Pro version — usually that’s all I ask. But today I have a simple request that’s very important to me. I wouldn’t have put a big red circle with an exclamation mark on your profile if it wasn’t. Please, my friend, turn on notifications.
Author Sues CIA for Info on Trujillo Victim
WASHINGTON (CN) – An author sued the CIA for records on the 1956 kidnapping and murder of a Columbia University professor and critic of Dominican Republic dictator Rafael Trujillo.

He claims a CIA agent on Trujillo’s payroll was involved in the kidnapping and murder.
Dispatches From the Road: On The Trail of the Mothman
The winding, mountain highways snake through the Appalachian foothills that wear puffy clouds like halos, and small towns decimated by the collapse of the coal industry and a spreading opioid epidemic vanish as quickly as they appear. Billboards advertising attractions like Coal Country Mini Golf watch over Rt. 79, separated every ten miles or so by exit signs for gas stations, many of them with big “CLOSED” decals slapped across their names. The towns are as lonely as the roads.
I Bet You’re Really Fun at Parties
Hey buddy, great comment, real insightful. I’m sure you put a ton of effort into formulating a thoughtful, well-crafted response. The way you offered a level-headed analysis in a non-condescending tone. Your direct yet inoffensive language. I bet you’re really fun at parties. I see you cited a bunch of facts and provided links to your sources, all of which appear to be reputable peer-reviewed journals.

Trumps, Safety, Immigration Dominate Day One of Convention
CLEVELAND (CN) — Violence against police, the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and the crimes of illegal aliens were central topics on day one of the Republican National Convention, where Donald Trump made his first, brief appearance to introduce his wife Melania. Day one of the convention, whose slogan is "Make America safe again," featured an odd lineup of speakers that included soap opera star Antonia Sabato Jr. and former teen idol Scott Baio.
Start Training in College for Construction Collaboration
In an industry that is evolving at an exponential rate and growing increasingly complex and interrelated, the lines between architecture and construction are rapidly blurring.

Training in Collaboration Should Start in College
In an industry that is evolving at an exponential rate and growing increasingly complex and interrelated, the lines between architecture and construction are rapidly blurring. Consider design-build, design assist, integrated project delivery, building information modeling, lean construction techniques, and field technology that require team input. All are all crying out for increased collaboration across all members of the architecture, engineering, and construction fields.
Miles Davis’s Container Gardening Tips.
This is a pretty simple concept, so heed it. If you feed your container plants shit—polluted rainwater, cheap fertilizer, ash from your hash pipe—they will not flourish, your buds will not bloom. Like I said to my bass player Paul Chambers last night, “You got to cool it with the booze and drugs.” The same is true of your garden. Because they don’t talk much we forget that plants are living things, organic beings that need nourishment to survive and thrive.

Feds Can Take Up Claims Against Fannie Mae WASHINGTON (CN) - A conflict of interest does not prevent a government agency from replacing the plaintiff accusing Fannie Mae of gross mismanagement, a federal judge ruled.
