back in 1991. ... Last month, Microsoft released a modern remake of its traditional MS-DOS Editor, restoring a piece of computing history that first appeared in MS-DOS 5.0 back in 1991. The brand-new open source tool, built with Rust and simply called Edit, deals with Windows, macOS, andin a twist that would have appeared unlikely three decades agoLinux.The cross-platform schedule has actually thrilled long time users who never anticipated to see Microsoft's text editor working on their preferred os. 30 years of waiting, and I can utilize MS Edit on Linux, wrote one Reddit user, catching the nostalgic appeal of running a genuinely helpful version of a Microsoft DOS utility on a Unix-like system.An animated GIF from Microsoft revealing the contemporary Edit application in action. (Credit: Microsoft)The initial MS-DOS Editor represented a significant advance for Microsoft's command-line text-editing abilities at the time of its release. Before 1991, DOS users suffered through EDLIN, a line-based editor so primitive and user-hostile that many people resorted to typing COPY CON filename.txt and expecting the best. MS-DOS Editor altered that by introducing ideas that seem fundamental today: a full-screen interface, mouse assistance, and pull-down menus you might actually browse without remembering puzzling commands.And those cryptic commands persist today in some Linux editors, like Vim, a modal full-screen editor where users should change in between various modes for editing versus browsing text, which notoriously confuses beginners. Many of you are most likely familiar with the 'How do I exit vim?' meme, wrote Christopher Nguyen, a product supervisor on Microsoft's Windows Terminal group, in a blog post about Edit. While it is reasonably simple to discover the magic exit incantation, it's definitely not a coincidence that this often shows up as a stumbling block for new and old programmers. f1025ed91a8b3c30bcb96e39dd9ea0bd

Each particle crash at the LHC involves numerous possible pathways in which various particles combine to generate the spray of debris that experimenters see. ... Each particle crash at the LHC involves many possible pathways in which different particles integrate to give rise to the spray of particles that experimenters see. In 2017, David Rousseau at IJCLab in Orsay, a member of the ATLAS cooperation, asked among his students, Aishik Ghosh, to enhance his groups ability to identify a specific pathway. That particular path is rather important considering that its utilized to measure properties of the Higgs boson, a particle (first measured in 2012) that assists discuss the mass of all other basic particles.It was a pretty big ask. When a grad student gets started in ATLAS, theyre a small cog in a giant, well-oiled device of 3,500 physicists, who all seem to understand exactly what theyre doing, stated Ghosh.The pathway Ghosh was asked to study occurs via several steps. Initially, the two clashing protons each give off a W boson, a particle associated with the weak nuclear force. These 2 bosons fuse together, changing their identity to form a Higgs boson. The Higgs boson then decomposes, forming a pair of Z bosons, another particle related to the weak force. Lastly, those Z bosons themselves each decay into a lepton, like an electron, and its antimatter partner, like a positron. A Feynman diagram for the pathway studied by Aishik Ghosh. Credit: ATLAS Measurements like the one Ghosh was studying are a crucial way of examining the properties of the Higgs boson. By exactly determining how long it takes the Higgs boson to decay, physicists might discover evidence of it interacting with new, undiscovered particles that are too enormous for the LHC to produce directly.Ghosh begun on the project, wanting to discover a small improvement in the collaborations well-tested methods. Instead, he noticed a larger problem. The goal he was provided, of discovering a single pathway by itself, didnt really make good sense.

Tesla launches robotaxi service in AustinTesla launches robotaxi service in Austin

Tesla’s robotaxi service, touted by Elon Musk as the future of his flagging electric-car maker, launched in the company’s home city of Austin, Texas, on Sunday with about 10 vehicles and a human safety driver on board amid regulatory scrutiny of its self-driving technology.

Shares in Tesla have risen about 50 percent from this year’s low in early April, with investors hopeful the autonomous ride-hailing service will help revive a company that has suffered declining sales and a consumer backlash against Musk’s political activism.

Despite the hype surrounding Tesla’s robotaxi, the launch—with a company employee seated in the passenger side for safety while leaving the driver’s seat empty—was low-key, and the initial service was open only to a select group of social media influencers.

According to Musk, who has stepped back from his US government role to focus on the electric-car maker and the robotaxi, the self-driving Tesla Model Y vehicles will only operate in limited areas, avoid challenging intersections, and have teleoperators who can intervene if problems arise. ....
