- chmorgan_ 2y agoIt's a sexy looking PCB too!
- piombisallow 2y agoIt looks like a roulette table, complete with chips too.
- TheOtherHobbes 2y agoThe Latin says: "From rocks humans made eyes, through art and talent/ingenuity. Now it is our turn to re-emerge from the universe." The "Ophanim" are circular biblical angels with many eyes.

- lumost 2y agoSo this begs the question - did anti hydrogen fall like normal hydrogen?
- ianburrell 2y agoThat is what the experiment is trying to discover. They need time to collect enough data. The current phase started in 2021. The papers, including this one, have been about apparatus.
- tasty_freeze 2y agoIt raises the question. "Begging the question" has a very different meaning, though maybe it is a lost cause to preserve its meaning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question
- rout39574 2y agoFIGHT ON! ;)
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago"The phrase beg the question can also mean 'strongly prompt the question', a usage that is distinct from the sense in logic but is widespread, though some consider it incorrect."
- kazinator 2y agoOnly among people who parrot language without ever looking anything up, and disregard or forget the remarks of those who do look up.
- ryoshoe 2y agoYou can try to fight against it, but language is constantly evolving. Calling someone "nimrod" originally meant they were a great hunter and not the modern meaning of fool
- kazinator 2y agoIf it were not for those who assiduously compile dictionaries and other sources, and those who correct, you would not be able to understand the English from fifty years ago. Language evolution needs serious gatekeeping. It would ideally be best left to those who know what they are doing, not those who can't be bothered to look up a word. Nimrod as a pejorative probably arose among students who knew the name from history, and just started using it for fun. Kids in my eighth grade class, when we studied The Hobbit, started using "Bilbo" as a pejorative (referencing the character name Bilbo Baggins).

- cactacea 2y agoThat PCB is a work of art
- jajko 2y agoBeen to CERN underground during one of their open days (every 5 years IIRC). How wires and everything was organized, you could literally eat from the ground of any big underground area. Seeing detector opened had similar vibes to that photo but stretched into 3D and it was few tens of meter long and at least 10m wide.
- zb3 2y agoOk, I want to watch. Where can I "watch" it?
- gaudat 2y agoIt's very likely that PCB is made in KiCAD seeing the fonts. I really really hope they make the project files available. That would be a sick example project. Also, obligatory ꙮ
- bb88 2y agoCERN is a big proponent of KiCad, so it wouldn't surprise me. I didn't see an Open Source Hardware Logo on it, or any marking suggesting it's CERN Open Hardware License, but it might also be on the back. The big issue is that it's tough to collaborate with something like Altium Designer when its $460/mo (and no one else can open your design unless you pay the fee).
