Today is posting articles for the title
We’ve already established that our senses are meaningless here. What we need are measurements.
Uuuuuhh... And how to we read the measurements.
I tried to read the rest of the article, but I don't have any coffee in me yet.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about the race between the printer and computer to feed the right paper (or transparencies, but I remember doing that when printing e.g. cover pages on coloured paper or similar) and send the print job before someone else could submit another one. Or yelling in the corridor "wait a moment before printing anything!"
Those were
goodbad days.....send it to fucking Tray 1? Duh?
"Tray?" What's that? Oh, wait, I know, it's the plastic thingy where the incoming/outgoing mail goes, on the secretary's desk. No idea why you're mentioning that in relation to printers though.

@Zecc It's not a science news post by @Dragoon, but I still don't understand any of it, so it must be a science post by @Dragoon. You have unmade my reality.

That’s because, afaiui, the actual experiment has nothing to do with that blurb. It’s not about “are we in a simulated reality” but “does quantum stuff behave as x”.

Says theoretical physics, so you might be better served with some weed instead of (or in addition to) coffee.

Dunno, that's what the printer calls it. If you're busy yelling at people not to print because of a piece of plastic on your desk, there might be more problems coming.

The printer(s) I was talking about certainly didn't. Or they may have called it "tray" but definitely not "tray 1."

I wasn't, but there were a lot of problems with printing nonetheless.

Xeroxing is the process of making copies of a document that already exists and as such involves you being physically at the copy station, not printing from your computer and then dashing down the hall to load the correct paper.

I don't know, and don't care, since it wasn't what we had.

I don't think I ever Xeroxed anything, and certainly not at that time. I more likely cannon'ed (no, not that one) or H-peed (no, not that one either).

With our eyes, of course. But that just compounds the problem:
-
@Zecc said in In other news today...:
I suspect most of the problems come from people assuming that there's a classical reality in the first place. I know of no measuring device that does not have itself quantum nature (i.e., will have some sort of wave function describing it) and necessarily so. All computations you make with the assumption that the measurement being done is non-quantum in nature are inherently suspect.

I can't find that this was discussed here, but back in December this was the talk of the aviation community:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbYszLNZxhMTL;DW: A YouTube daredevil named Trevor Jacob bought an airplane, which had an engine failure and crashed shortly after he bought it. Being a YouTuber, of course he recorded the entire thing and posted it to his channel. However, as many other pilots noted, there were a lot of things in the video that didn't match his story, the most glaringly obvious being his claim that he always wears a parachute when he flies. Very, very few civilian pilots wear parachutes, because they're very uncomfortable and rarely useful; the few civilian pilots who do wear 'chutes (like aerobatic and test pilots) wear minimal emergency 'chutes, but Jacob was wearing a full, bulky, sport skydiving rig. When his engine quit, he had plenty of opportunity to glide to a safe emergency landing spot, but he made no attempt to do any of the things pilots train for, starting day one of flight school, but immediately bailed out. See here, here, here, here and a zillion other videos for more discussions of why his story is as fishy as a month-old salmon fillet.
Well, here's the latest, as of yesterday:

I have heaved an enormous rock in your direction; per classical mechanics (and just a bit of relativistics) it should strike you shortly. I assume you are fine with this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3TjzPSIOKAHim also having a fire extinguisher strapped to his leg under his pants is highly suspicious. There is so much wrong with the whole thing that he more or less had to have crashed the plane on purpose for views.
-
@Carnage He had to have made the video intentionally. There is a possibility that he didn't actually crash the airplane, but instead the whole thing was staged.

And the next doom message with a new - and still even unknown - type of :
Young kids get mystery hepatitis
Scientists are investigating an outbreak of severe hepatitis that has sickened dozens of formerly healthy young children in Western Europe and the U.S. state of Alabama. The viruses that commonly cause hepatitis were not found in the children, but many were carrying adenovirus, which usually causes colds and conjunctivitis. None was vaccinated against COVID-19, and several had the disease at or shortly before hospital admission. At least nine children have required liver transplants.

I quite like this tech in the iPhone even if it was an inconvenience in the middle of a pandemic. I preferred the deciated finger print sensor on the back of some of the galaxy models though. The under-screen sensors were terrible on the newer models but they may be better now.
Every now and then the iphone unlocks automatically and I have to suffer the embarrassment of people knowing what I was looking at last. For reasons unknown kbc have hidden otp for their website on a screen that you have to cancel login and enter a password for to access.

It refers to the stimulant / hypnotic transition at around 10X usual dosing

Meanwhile my (Android) LG has both. Unfortunately the finger print sensor mostly stopped working due to battery swelling. Which is a bit weird anyway; the battery has swollen fairly early while otherwise still holding charge fairly well.

battery swelling
That is indicative of some kind of infection. Did your phone catch some ?

@DogsB said in In other news today...:

And rather cold. Or hot. Or just cold-blooded; if he neither receives IR nor emits it... he must be a lizard of some kind. And really, who'd know, since you can't really see him.
Or maybe his invisibility is limited to a certain wavelength.
But all this speculation is meaningless, since the invisibility trick is magical and thus topical. If it wasn't, imagine the profits he'd make selling invisible dandruff to a lens coatings manufacturer.
