📕For a Few Canards More 📕
The first-ever English translation of Aymeric Monville’s witty, polemical refutation of the worst 'bad takes' on the Soviet Union (and particularly the era of Stalin's administration), based on summarizing research done in the Soviet archives.

The Story of Everything is not rhetorical ambition. It is a direct challenge to the materialist story that has dominated intellectual life since the 19th century.
Canadian computer scientist Ken Iverson introduced the modern symbols and names for the floor and ceiling functions in 1962.
Typesetters produced the symbols by trimming the tops and bottoms of square brackets, [ and ].
The notation was adopted almost immediately.
The Artemis II astronauts may have just returned from a successful mission to the moon, but NASA engineers are already preparing for the upcoming Artemis III launch. https://t.co/dPl7EkyTiy
Universal Time Influence on Stormtime Magnetosphere Ionosphere Coupling: https://t.co/2swpjbagAu -> Timing of Geomagnetic Storms Shapes Their Impact: https://t.co/PQGtmxFlvr - the impact of geomagnetic storms is shown to depend on their onset timing.
Random heat fluctuations usually limit computing efficiency. But what if that same noise could help power computation?
A new study explores thermodynamic computing—an emerging approach to more efficient computing. https://t.co/KyA1AbXSS1

The US has no defence against a nuclear detonation in space, has the most to lose from it, and a 1 MT warhead in LEO can instantly destroy 2200+ satellites then disable 10,000+ within weeks - no radiation/debris cleanup exists.

Researchers have found that a “pencil beam” laser allows brain imaging 25 times faster than current methods. This could help scientists quickly test whether new drugs for diseases like Alzheimer’s or ALS are reaching their targets in the brain. https://t.co/28yIRObdHK
Can #QuantumTunneling be simulated in chemistry? A new study in @PRXQuantum says yes. Researchers created a superconducting quantum circuit that simulates tunneling in chemical reactions, revealing unexpected quantum effects in state transitions: https://t.co/4n6YUeh2ue
New high-altitude measurements have revealed a hidden population of extremely small, organic-rich aerosol particles in the lower stratosphere.
The findings in Science suggest that these ultrafine aerosols, likely lofted from the underlying troposphere, are far more abundant and chemically influential than previously understood. https://t.co/PmpoKt6uN8
