Hey @uber - can I co tact you about the complete Horlicks your app made of my Uber reservation pick-up? The driver was no hep (called and messaged, said “change the pick up” - you can’t once the app has set it wrongly. Had to cancel

An early form of cloud computing was developed to contend with the immense data storage and processing required for the LHC.
The worldwide LHC computing grid was invented to connect computers so that physicists to analyse data using national datacentres

Part of what we’ve been up to. Upward fluctuation or new physics? Time and more data will tell.

NA62 announces its first search for long-lived particles
CERN’s kaon factory pushes the energy frontier to probe uncharted #physics territories. The collaboration recently presented the results of its first search for long-lived new #physics particles – a #DarkMatter candidate – at #ICHEP2024.
The voiceover in this video was extracted from an old interview with NA62 former technical coordinator Ferdinand Hahn (1959–2018).

It's a #NAM2024 bonus!
Another great story to come out of this month's @hullrasnam2024 is the way astro-skills are being used to help people on Earth.
From spotting supernovas to foiling floods, the new @LancasterUni project will see @the_zooniverse deployed to Sudan.
