Iridium posted:yeah, good times. lol that's nothing there's a software company out here in Idaho that sells a bunch of work order management and pos poo poo they left the test password on it that gives someone full control of the system and it's not a dev test password the password is literally test they haven't even changed it after half their devs left

It did basically nothing because HEP beam experiments like LCLS images proteins directly with high-intensity x-ray lasers instead of guessing ten bajillion times as to what they look like.

It's a super cool experiment and they somehow got enough funding to upgrade the end of the SLAC beamline to superconductors instead of klystrons. Sucks for us though because someone has to upgrade the switchyard to reroute to ESA and gently caress if any HEP experimentalist has money for that.

Also I remember a post by someone here that said that folding@home had some garbage code that was super inefficient and was replicated by a small cluster running actual good code

HEP is common but who knows what ESA means other than the people who are familiar with that accelerator?

End Station A Yeah no one knows, I like being opaque. Also SLAC is so horrible with acronyms. You have to learn like 40 acronyms your first day and people look at you funny if you don't know what they are.

If you google "ESA accelerator physics" you can find it in the second link sort of. Or you can look at the fourth link and see the best picture of our collaborator ever He normally has a super colorful scarf on

Also my graduate electrodynamics class was taught by the guy who invented it.

jony ive aces posted:One day, when I was sleeping (yes, I sometimes sleep in the day due to being up very late at night/early in the morning), it got very smelly. And I still didn’t have the AC unit installed in my room, and my 4 farting rigs were still farting buttcoins (I left them on 24/7), generating lots of gas. It was extremely stinky. I eventually woke up due to the smell, but it was already too late. I had a terrible suffocation, and it was quite frightening and disorienting. I not only felt physically terrible, having trouble breathing and terrible nausea, but I was also mentally and emotionally confused and saw all sorts of unpleasant hallucinations (but after doing some googling, apparently that’s normal for people who have methane poisoning). haha
