Antonino Zichichi, one of the leading Italian figures in high-energy physics, passed away today, Monday 9 February, at the age of 96.

Many major projects in international physics are linked to his name: the LEP at CERN projects, the HERA project at DESY, and the INFN National Gran Sasso Laboratory.

What happens when people experience brands, services, and institutions primarily through their own AI agents—rather than through brand‑designed apps, websites, and campaigns?

This post reflects on the future of design* —and the role of designers* —in a world where AI is poised to reshape how society works.

From Penicillin to MySpace, balancing structured research and build with openness to failure has proven a successful approach.

Updated, thanks again.

My bad, yes I didn't declare it:

listen[::]443 ssl http2;

thank you.

Using Chrome on a mac, access logs say http 1.1 is accessing the domain. Nothing in front of Ngnix, but I'm wondering if I have the http 2 module on Nginx...

mmm, blocking everything not http/2.0 is also blocking legit browser, while blocking http/1.0 does not block bots (at least not ChatGPT); blocking non-browsers with $http_sec_fetch_mode works as expected.

Thanks. I'll give it a try with the != HTTP/2.0 method.

I've been tinkering with a combined solution to block AI bots from crawling my website, it's a robots.txt file (I know, they don't care about it) and a Nginx directive (it works for Ngnix web servers, not if you are on Apache).

These and other anthropological elements are very well described by Esther Gokhale as the basis of her method (which has been a life changer, at least for me).

You can find more on her website or book "8 Steps to a pan-free back".

I guess the good stuff is private and not on Showcase - quite poor quality here.

Most disgusting act of 'philanthropy' ever?

Sounds like the US for the wrong nationality/demographic, to me...

It's not just Finland.

It's pretty much all Europe, where any decent high school student can easily outscore any undergraduate US student on pretty much any subjects (knowledge of anything not-US or not pop culture-related showing possibly the most embarrassing difference between them).

And indeed they directly built or indirectly facilitated much (most?) of the innovative products in the fields you are mentioning. It's just that they work/teach/live in the US because of a more favourable entrepreneurial framework, easier access to capital, less red tape, higher pay at top universities.

It is a novel.

With "criticizing a nation", you probably mean criticizing a nation illegally occupying another Nation's territory, repeatedly breaking international human rights conventions, and indiscriminately killing civilians (with a particularly predilection for children).

I'm part of a large, and growing, international community not supporting anything Israel.

of course. let's apply the same 'logic' with mickey f*ng mouse, now. please.

My daily fix:

Run by biostatisticians Jeff Leek, Roger Peng, and Rafa Irizarry, Simply Statistics (http://simplystatistics.org/) it's more than stats - and it's a must read.

R-bloggers (http://www.r-bloggers.com/) is the hub for everything R.

I wonder, how much would have been charged for the chopper emergency service an alien on US soil?

Hopefully mr. Bezos donated some of his wealth to the preservation of the Galapagos natural sanctuary.

It's really interesting how US justice is always so keen to rule for public domain for non US ip while being so defensive for US ip products (eg. Disney) - I guess it's one more face of American exceptionalism.

We love you so much guys.

It's Sunday, shouldn't you be in church?

some things happens with Adobe, or iTunes, apparently
