Big Science by Michael Hiltzik, 2015

Ernest Lawrence and the Invention That Launched the Military-Industrial Complex

From a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and Los Angeles Times contributor, the untold story of how science went “big,” built the bombs that helped win World War II, and became dependent on government and industry—and the forgotten genius who started it all, Ernest Lawrence.







Since the 1930s, the scale of scientific endeavors has grown exponentially. Machines have become larger, ambitions bolder. The first particle accelerator cost less than one hundred dollars and could be held in its creator’s palm, while its descendant, the Large Hadron Collider, cost ten billion dollars and is seventeen miles in circumference. Scientists have invented nuclear weapons, put a man on the moon, and examined nature at the subatomic scale—all through Big Science, the industrial-scale research paid for by governments and corporations that have driven the great scientific projects of our time. The birth of Big Science can be traced to Berkeley, California, nearly nine decades ago, when a resourceful young scientist with a talent for physics and an even greater talent for promotion pondered his new invention and declared, “I’m going to be famous!” Ernest Orlando Lawrence’s cyclotron would revolutionize nuclear physics, but that was only the beginning of its impact. It would change our understanding of the basic building blocks of nature. It would help win World War II. Its influence would be felt in academia and international politics. It was the beginning of Big Science. This is the incredible story of how one invention changed the world and of the man principally responsible for it all. Michael Hiltzik tells the riveting full story here for the first time.

UpScrolled review

"Users’ selective empathy and inability to look past their political affiliations to acknowledge the suffering of other humans make UpScrolled exactly like other social media platforms."

cybernews.com/editorial/upscro





TikTok alternative UpScrolled is no stranger to hypocrisy and hate speech

TikTok users started a mass exodus to UpScrolled due to censorship concerns. However, like any other social media platform, it is an echo chamber of selective empathy.

A Photographic Guide to the Birds of Indonesia by Morten Strange, 2012

The Drunken Botanist by Amy Stewart, 2013

Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Thirsty yet? In The Drunken Botanist, Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries.




Of all the extraordinary and obscure plants that have been fermented and distilled, a few are dangerous, some are downright bizarre, and one is as ancient as dinosaurs—but each represents a unique cultural contribution to our global drinking traditions and our history. This fascinating concoction of biology, chemistry, history, etymology, and mixology—with more than fifty drink recipes and growing tips for gardeners—will make you the most popular guest at any cocktail party.

"HWP 파일은 AI 가 못 읽으니 PDF로도 올리세요" 에서 좀 와전된 거 같습니다.. 한편 제미나이등 일부에서는 별도 변환과정 없이 HWP를 바로 읽을 수 있다는 얘기도 있네요. bsky.app/profile/tsut...

공공기관 입찰 기관인 나라장터가 이러한 이유로 .hwp 규격에서 벗어날 것 같다고 한다. 표준형인 .hwpx 파일도 LLM은 잘 다루지 못한다는 것 같다. 대체 어떻게 만든 거임?! 원리가 뭐임!? https://x.com/s_o_m_s_o_m/status/2016436489018917178?s=20
