A caccia di difetti topologici nei vetri tridimensionali. Su Nature uno studio sui difetti topologici a cui hanno collaborato l’Università degli Studi di Milano e la Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Geometria e topologia svolgono un ruolo centrale nella fisica moderna, dalla formazione delle stringhe cosmiche nell'universo primordiale agli intricati modelli di crescita di foglie e petali di rosa. Da una prospettiva applicata, i difetti topologici sono fondamentali per comprendere i guasti meccanici nei materiali solidi e per descrivere i fenomeni di fusione nei sistemi bidimensionali.
Definire i difetti, tuttavia, richiede una configurazione di riferimento, tipicamente uno sfondo ordinato idealizzato. Nei cristalli, gli atomi sono disposti in strutture reticolari periodiche, rompendo la simmetria traslazionale continua in un sottogruppo discreto. Questo sfondo ordinato consente una definizione precisa di difetti come dislocazioni e disclinazioni.
Al contrario, i materiali amorfi, come il vetro di una finestra, mancano di ordine a lungo raggio. Le disposizioni atomiche sono disordinate oltre poche distanze interatomiche, rendendo l'identificazione e la classificazione dei difetti particolarmente elusive. Eppure, questa non è solo una sfida accademica: la capacità di prevedere dove e come un vetro potrebbe rompersi sotto stress ha implicazioni dirette per la progettazione, la sicurezza e l'ingegneria dei materiali.
Negli ultimi anni sono stati compiuti progressi significativi nell'identificazione dei difetti topologici nei vetri. Tuttavia, questi sviluppi sono stati in gran parte limitati a modelli bidimensionali semplificati, limitandone la rilevanza per i materiali reali. In una recente pubblicazione su Nature Communications , la Dott.ssa Arabinda Bera e il Professor Alessio Zaccone (Università degli Studi di Milano), in collaborazione con il Professor Matteo Baggioli (SJTU), hanno introdotto, per la prima volta, una definizione robusta dei difetti topologici nei vetri tridimensionali.

Reddit Claims Anti-Piracy Subpoenas Are a "Publicity Campaign," Seeks $55K in Fees
After successfully fending off three subpoenas from filmmakers seeking user data related to piracy discussions, Reddit is back in federal court. The company is now requesting over $55,000 in legal compensation, suggesting that these repeated requests amount to an "anti-piracy publicity campaign" that chills lawful speech by Reddit’s users.

New York Times Grants Race Science Enthusiast Anonymity in Mamdani Hit Piece
Mamdani, a 33-year-old New York state assemblyman, shocked the political world last month with a primary win over former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned his position in 2021 after several women accused him of sexual harassment.
The Times noted that on the campaign trail, Mamdani touted his Muslim faith and South Asian ancestry. He was born in Uganda in 1991 and moved with his parents to South Africa five years later. Two years later, the family moved to New York.
::: spoiler The Times report cited a figure who goes by the name Crémieux on X and Substack:
- Last month’s cyberattack appears to have been carried out in order to see if Columbia was still using race-conscious affirmative action in its admission policies after the Supreme Court effectively barred the practice in 2023.
- While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X. He provided the data under condition of anonymity, although his identity has been made public elsewhere. He is an academic who opposes affirmative action and writes often about I.Q. and race.
:::
One of the speakers at the conference is billed under a social media alias, Cremieux, but the Guardian has corroborated that the account is apparently run by Jordan Lasker, a long-time proponent of eugenics.
::: spoiler The @cremieuxrecueil X account has been boosted or engaged with dozens of times by that platform’s proprietor, Elon Musk, often on the topic of falling birthrates.
- On 27 November, Musk reposted a Cremieux comment on falling birthrates, adding: “With rare exception, all countries are trending towards population collapse.”
- On 29 April, Cremieux posted: “Only about a third of the world even meets replacement rate fertility. This is the biggest problem of our time.” Musk responded: “Yes.”
- Musk has also boosted or responded favorably to Cremieux posts on other rightwing hobby horses such as crime in Portland, Oregon, and allegations that Democrats had created loopholes in the asylum system.
- Away from X, Cremieux runs a Substack also featuring posts on the supposed relationships between race and IQ. A prominently featured post there seeks to defend the argument that average national IQs vary by up to 40 points, with countries in Europe, North America, and East Asia at the high end and countries in the global south at the low end, and several African countries purportedly having average national IQs at a level that experts associate with mental impairment.

- 0:00.000 - 0:06.250 Intermission
- 14:21.000 - 16:26.000 Sponsor
Generated Summary:
Main Topic: The increasing integration of Big Tech companies with the US government and military, specifically focusing on the commissioning of tech executives into the Army Reserve.
Key Points:
- Tech Execs Joining the Army: Executives from Meta, OpenAI, and Palantir are joining the US Army Reserve as part of a new "Innovation Corps" (Detachment 2011) to bring tech upgrades to the military.
- Motivations: The tech executives cite patriotism and a desire to equip the military for conflicts with high-tech adversaries like China. The speaker suggests the tech sector will also profit from this arrangement.
- Fascism Analogy: The speaker draws a parallel to fascism, where there is no separation between the public and private sectors, and corporations and the government work together for the same goals.
- Debunking the "Aversion" Myth: The speaker refutes the idea that Silicon Valley was previously averse to working with the military, citing examples like the Snowden revelations and existing contracts between tech companies and intelligence agencies (CIA, NSA).
- Historical Context: The speaker references John Poindexter and Palantir's origins, highlighting the long-standing relationship between Silicon Valley and the intelligence community.
- Alarming Language: The speaker finds the language used by the tech executives about uniting American innovation with the military's mission to be alarming, echoing the core tenet of fascism.
- Eisenhower's Warning: The speaker invokes Dwight Eisenhower's warning about the militarization of American life, suggesting that this integration is a realization of that warning on a grander scale.
Highlights:
- The commissioning of tech executives into the Army Reserve is presented as a significant development, symbolizing the deepening ties between Big Tech and the US military.
- The speaker emphasizes the potential dangers of this integration, drawing parallels to fascism and raising concerns about the erosion of the separation between corporate and state power.
- The historical context provided challenges the narrative of a recent shift in Silicon Valley's relationship with the military, revealing a long history of cooperation.

“Guidare in America”
youtube.com/watch?v=LxLw120wrq…Non avevo troppo idea che guidare negli Stati Uniti fosse così… crazy… (e ormai questo è l’unico aggettivo che so usare per porre enfasi positiva, un po’ come i redditor che usano sempre e solo la parola “wholesome”, ma lasciamo stare…) ma a quanto pare quelli lì hanno fatto anche cose… non direi buone, però ecco, la proverbiale medaglia che da un lato è schifosa marcia dall’altro lato è evidentemente quasi scintillante.
Si parla ovviamente di guidare veicoli personali a motore, e quindi nel 99% dei casi automobili… mostri gargantueschi che ricordano automobili, si intende, ma da nazionalista europea giustamente sto già digressando. Gli autobus lì nell’isolotto oltreoceanico sono rari come miraggi, i treni quasi letteralmente non sanno cosa siano, e le distanze di tutti i giorni sono talmente grosse che parlare di monopattini (un saluto al nostro caro e sempre sul pezzo Salvini, a tal proposito) e bici elettriche sarebbe completamente fuori contesto… però, guardando tutta la cosa dalla prospettiva di un ipotetico guidatore, anziché pedone e cittadino (magari europeo…) con il desiderio di vivere in ambienti a misura umana, davvero bisogna dire che lì se la passano bene, alla grande, al top, al SUV, al…
Che lì il carburante costi in media poco (anche se non in tutti gli stati è economico quanto in Florida; o costoso quanto in Florida, suppongo) lo si sapeva già… anche se, da gran tirchia e abituata alla gratuità del camminare (e della bici non elettrica, appena me la prendo), pure 50 dollari per ~60 litri di benzina a me fanno male al cuore… ma altre cose mi colgono un po’ di sorpresa, invece. Tipo, non avevo mai pensato al fatto che le loro strade fossero sensibilmente più larghe delle nostre… suppongo che in video e film a caso non si noti e bisogna provare di persona per accorgersene, però, quindi ok. Così come (al di fuori dei vari scherzi) ignoravo che lì siano tutti relativamente imbranati a guidare… perché qui in Italia la gente non mi sembra chissà quanto competente, e perché non immaginavo che lì avessero automobili così avanzate da arrivare letteralmente a guidarsi da sole (anche quelle non fighette-Tesla “full self driving”, e che evidentemente li rendono più incapaci).
Insomma, roba da pazzi questa America, e quindi forse un po’ riesco a capire innanzitutto come mai il sogno americano non sia morto tra chi vive lì, e poi in che modo i loro bimbi siano capaci di imparare a guidare a soli 8 anni solo grazie a YouTube. E questo per non parlare di come sono assolutamente implosa quando Francescone ha detto che lì per prendere la patente si spendono appena 50 dollari (e il web mi conferma che la media in tutti gli USA è tra 50 e 100 dollari)… altro che il latrocinio non solo italiano, ma europeo! Qui io devo stare sveglia la notte per architettare come dovrei fare a prendermi la patente senza troppa sbatta e riuscendo ancora a scroccarla ai miei genitori — giusto per tenerla nel cassetto per le emergenze, proprio giusto a prendere polvere, perché invece di guidare in Italia non c’ho sbatta e preferisco farmi le strade provinciali in pattini a rotelle — e invece loro stanno beati nella Land of The Free… (la stessa dove è molto pericoloso criticare il presidente, ma intanto…)

Judge rejects executive order claiming ‘invasion’ at the border
A federal judge Wednesday ruled as unlawful an executive order by President Donald Trump that barred asylum by claiming an “invasion” at the southern border and the need to protect states.
“The President cannot adopt an alternative immigration system, which supplants the statutes that Congress has enacted,” District of Columbia U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss wrote in his opinion.
“Here, nothing in the (Immigration and Nationality Act) or the Constitution grants the President or his delegees the sweeping authority asserted in the Proclamation and implementing guidance,” continued Moss, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama.
The order from Moss also prevents the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from enforcing the executive order.
He also agreed to certify a class for potential asylum-seekers, which comes after last week’s Supreme Court ruling that curtailed nationwide injunctions from lower courts. Certifying a class was suggested by the court to give judges an avenue to make an order broader.
Bondi made changes to DOJ policy. Her former client Pfizer might have benefited
For the past several years, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has been under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for potential foreign corruption violations related to its activities in China and Mexico, according to the company’s financial filings.
But that appears to have changed after the Trump administration tapped Pam Bondi — previously an outside legal counsel for Pfizer — to lead the Justice department as attorney general.
In the company’s most recent annual report, filed three weeks after Bondi took office in early February, there was no longer any reference to the Justice Department investigations into the company’s potential violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act. A quarterly report in May also contains no reference to these investigations.
Republican FCC scraps ban on prison phone price gouging, a gift to some of his big donors
The Federal Communications Commission will no longer enforce a rule capping the price of prison phone calls, according to an announcement made Monday by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
The move suspends a 2024 FCC decision that capped the price of in-state phone calls at 6 cents minute for prisons and large jails and 7 cents per minute for medium-sized jails. Before the decision, a 15-minute phone call could cost as much as $11.35 at large jails in some states. Under the 2024 rules, those same phone calls would cost 90 cents.

“Not an easy project to build:” Australian developer switches on the biggest solar farm in the UK
Australian-based renewable energy and storage investor Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners says its new 373 MW Cleve Hill Solar Park – the biggest in the UK – has begun commercial operations.
The Cleve Hill solar park, situated in Kent in England’s south, consists of over 550,000 solar panels and is expected to provide clean electricity equivalent to the needs of 102,000 homes, and is being hailed as a landmark on multiple fronts.
It is four times the size of the next largest operational UK solar project, and will also feature a 150 MW co-located battery energy storage system (BESS), making it also the largest co-located solar plus storage project ever constructed in the UK power market.
Cleve Hill was also the first solar and battery storage project to be consented as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) by the UK government, and secured the first solar contract for difference (CfD) by the UK Government-backed Low Carbon Contracts Company.

Kilmar Ábrego García alleges torture and abuse in El Salvador mega-jail
According to new court documents filed on Wednesday as part of a lawsuit his wife brought against the Trump administration, Mr Ábrego García and 20 other detainees were repeatedly beaten when they arrived at El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Centre, or Cecot.
Once there, according to the documents, Mr Ábrego García and 20 other deported inmates "were confined to metal bunks with no mattresses in an overcrowded cell with no windows, bright lights that remained on 24 hours a day, and minimal access to sanitation".
Mr Ábrego García has also alleged that he and the other prisoners were "forced to kneel" from 9 PM to 6 AM, "with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion".
At one point, guards allegedly threatened to confine him with gang members who would "tear" him apart.
His mistreatment led to him losing 30lbs (14kg) within the first two weeks of his incarceration in El Salvador, according to the complaint.

What about the outcome of the american revolutionary war ? What was it's outcome. Was the outcome not good ? Any revolution must have sound basis, logical basis. I am not talking about religious revolution. I am saying that USA today has been overtaken by idiot fascists. And even democrats won't do anything about it. Look at Luigi Mangione. How many democrats have openly supported him ? American people need to understand that trump and his friends are idiotic fascists. They are not completely like hitler. Hitler and his associates were smart and because of which they were able to destroy the world. But trump is basically a GATEWAY. If people tolerate trump today then there are people more evil and smarter than trump who will come to power. Imagine via trump if zuckerberg or musk or any other person comes to power. What will then happen to the common USA citizen ?
How can you say "be careful what you wish for, violent revolution never ends well for anarchists no matter who wins." ? What about the outcome of the american revolutionary war ? What was it's outcome. Was the outcome not good ?
The Revolutionary War is an excellent example of the winners of a violent revolution turning around and wielding state power against their former supporters - look up Shays' Rebellion.
More generally, the outcome of the Revolutionary War was good for America's landowning oligarchy. Not so good for ordinary white Americans. Definitely not good for slaves, nonwhites, and the Native Americans of the continent - particularly since one of the biggest reasons for revolution was that the colonists wanted to break their treaties with Native American tribes, kill them all and steal their land, and Britain wouldn't let them.

The Department of Homeland Security's intelligence arm plans to cut nearly three-quarters of its full-time employees, shaving its Office of Intelligence & Analysis down from about 1,000 staff to just 275, according to four sources briefed on the matter.
The exact timing of the cuts remains unclear; sources tell CBS News the staff reductions have been in the works for months but were temporarily on hold because of rising tensions overseas after the recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The decision has raised concerns among the nation's police and intelligence gathering agencies, as the U.S. reckons with a heightened threat environment.
DHS' Office of Intelligence & Analysis — created after the September 11 terrorist attacks — is the only member of the U.S. intelligence community tasked with sharing threat information to state, local, tribal and territorial governments across the country.

Ecco un’altra bella cosa che ho visto in Windows appena stasera… e che non avrei voluto veramente vedere, perché che cazzo, prodotto miliardario dell’azienda miliardaria eppure è tutto rotto. Nell’applet Opzioni Internet del Pannello di Controllo (inetcpl.cpl), la scheda Privacy mi sembra un pochino, come dire… vuota. Vedo tutto questo bianco al centro, dove sia a memoria che a logica dovrebbe esserci qualcosa…
Giustamente, ho cercato la stessa schermata informazioni sul Windows vecchio più recente che avevo ad immediata disposizione… ossia Windows 2000, perché si emula per bene nel browser, quindi è a portata di link… e si, mettendola affianco alla mia la differenza è abbastanza lampante. Lì dovrebbe esserci uno slider (in stile vecchio…) per il grado di privacy, eppure sul mio beneamatissimissimo Windows 10 22H2 qualcuno (forse il drago di Mozilla, che vuole ostacolare Internet Explorer?) si è mangiato i pezzi (e a niente serve chiudere e riaprire). Per fortuna non credo mi servisse, però porca miseria, come si fa… 😩#glitch #inetcpl #InternetExplorer #legacy #Windows #Windows10

Si, si applicano solo ad IE, e infatti per questo NON mi servono, visto che IE non si usa più... però Microsoft dovrebbe scegliere: o toglie completamente IE dal sistema, quindi anche le sue impostazioni, o le cose a riguardo le tiene non rotte 😂

Sorella di Perfezione di Giuseppe Iannozzi. Recensione di Vanessa Sulpizi
Poesia che ti attraversa l’anima, che si fa graffio e si fa carezza. La penna scorre, intrisa di un inchiostro che odora di tumulto e di visione. Ogni passo è una ferita che non si scusa. Scuote e rapisce tatuandosi sulle ossa, prima dell’abbandono.Giuseppe Iannozzi (Fai Informazione - Social News)
Nintendo is restricting the Switch 2's USB-C port — most third-party docks and accessories won't work thanks to proprietary protocols
Nintendo has intentionally implemented measures to restrict third-party accessories, including docks, hubs, and other accessories, from working with the new Switch 2. According to two accessory manufacturers who spoke to The Verge, the console maker is making use of a new encryption method as well as an encryption chip. Previously, a similar report by GamesRadar suggested that the change in power requirements (20V) on the Switch 2 has restricted accessory makers like Jsaux, from making docks for the new handheld hybrid console. However, it seems that the real reason is that Nintendo has made changes to the USB-C protocols, which now require “re-adaptation for both power delivery and video output."Further investigation done by Sean Hollister, senior editor at The Verge, reveals more evidence. Traditionally, when a user plugs a dock or hub into a USB-C port on a laptop or tablet, a standardized set of structured instructions is sent out to enable successful communication between the host and the dock. The instructions first deliver the correct amount of power using the PD (Power Delivery) protocol and then enable other features like HDMI or DisplayPort video out, Ethernet, and so on.
