WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkThe Large Hadron Collider Discovers Mysterious Antimatter Physics - Scientific American (No paywall) Matter and antimatter are like mirror opposites: they are the same in every respect except for their electric charge. Well, almost the same - very occasionally, matter and antimatter behave differently from each other, and when they do, physicists get very excited. Now scientists at the worlds largest particle collider have observed a new class of antimatter particles breaking down at a different rate than their matter counterparts. The discovery is a significant step in physicists' quest to solve one of the biggest mysteries in the universe: why there is something rather than nothing. WorkWork

WorkTrump administration pulls federal funding for California high-speed rail The Trump administration has revoked $4 billion in federal funding for California's long-delayed high speed rail project. The move comes weeks after the Federal Railroad Administration said the state had no viable plan to complete a segment of the project under construction in the Central Valley. A little less than a quarter of the money for the project has come from the federal government. But the loss of funding still deals a blow to endeavor expected to cost more than $100 billion that has not secured private investment needed to help pay for it.

WorkWorkWorkWorkInside the horrifying business of returning Ukraine's dead soldiers - Business Insider (No paywall) In the back room of a morgue on the outskirts of Kyiv, the stench of rotten flesh hangs heavy in the air, its source a large white bag lying on a metal table. The mortician opens it, and inside is a smaller black bag containing a pair of mud-covered military boots, a mummified body, and a skull. This is all that is left of a Ukrainian soldier returned from captivity in Russia. Now begins the grueling work of finding out who he was. WorkThe three-way battle for the Democratic Party The first is the Abundance faction. This faction argues that the Democratic Party has become overly focused on pleasing progressive interest groups and nowhere near focused enough on building things like housing, infrastructure, and clean energy. Abundance won a major victory two weeks ago, when California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed new laws loosening restrictions on homebuilding in cities. WorkWorkThe Father-and-Son Duo Who Toppled Our Trust in Vaccines - Intelligencer (No paywall) In 1970, a 22-year-old named Mark Geier showed up at the tennis court on Democracy Boulevard in Bethesda, Maryland, not far from the National Institutes of Health. He wore round plastic glasses and thick muttonchops, and he had a disdain for authority and a belief in his own cunning. Five years earlier, he had been ranked the 15th-best Ping-Pong player in the country. Geier played tennis like he played Ping-Pong, and he played Ping-Pong like he played chess. He didn't win on strength; he won on intelligence and intuition. He often stood at the net and put the ball where he knew his opponent couldnt reach it. Geiers girlfriend was the daughter of a tennis pro who taught many powerful men how to play: the Kennedys at the Breakers hotel in Palm Beach, Florida; Defense Secretary James Forrestal at the Chevy Chase Club in Maryland; Vice-President Henry A. Wallace; astronaut Michael Collins. Geier had recently graduated from George Washington University with bad grades. He liked winning. He wasn't particularly athletic. Work 
WorkHow CEOs Hone and Harness Their Intuition - Harvard Business Review (No paywall) In 2008, Uber seemed like a terrible idea. Regulatory headwinds, an unproven business model, and the unsettling proposition of summoning a stranger's car from a smartphone app made most seasoned investors balk. On paper, it didn't make sense. But a handful of early backers felt something else. Not certainty, but clarity. Something internal clicked. WorkThe Hidden War Over Ukraine's Lost Children Vladimir Putin could not make out the names of the missing children that appeared on the screen in front of him. They were printed in tiny letters, 339 in all, each representing a child abducted from the war zone in Ukraine and, according to authorities in Kyiv, forcibly taken to Russia. Putin had never been confronted with the list in public, and he showed no particular interest in reading it. WorkWork

WorkHow to run an LLM on your laptop - MIT Technology Review (No paywall) Simon Willison has a plan for the end of the world. Its a USB stick, onto which he has loaded a couple of his favorite open-weight LLMs - models that have been shared publicly by their creators and that can, in principle, be downloaded and run with local hardware. If human civilization should ever collapse, Willison plans to use all the knowledge encoded in their billions of parameters for help. It's like having a weird, condensed, faulty version of Wikipedia, so I can help reboot society with the help of my little USB stick, he says.
