fWotD Episode 2994: Trinity (nuclear test) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 16 July 2025, is Trinity (nuclear test).Trinity was the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. MWT (11:29:21 GMT) on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The test was of an implosion-design plutonium bomb, or "gadget", of the same design as the Fat Man bomb later detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9, 1945. Concerns about whether the complex Fat Man design would work led to a decision to conduct the first nuclear test. The code name "Trinity" was assigned by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, possibly inspired by the poetry of John Donne.The test, both planned and directed by Kenneth Bainbridge, was conducted in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what was the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range (renamed the White Sands Proving Ground just before the test). The only structures originally in the immediate vicinity were the McDonald Ranch House and its ancillary buildings, which scientists used as a laboratory for testing bomb components. Fears of a fizzle prompted construction of "Jumbo", a steel containment vessel that could contain the plutonium, allowing it to be recovered; but ultimately Jumbo was not used in the test. On May 7, 1945, a rehearsal was conducted, during which 108 short tons (98 t) of high explosive spiked with radioactive isotopes was detonated.Some 425 people were present on the weekend of the Trinity test. In addition to Bainbridge and Oppenheimer, observers included Vannevar Bush, James Chadwick, James B. Conant, Thomas Farrell, Enrico Fermi, Hans Bethe, Richard Feynman, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Leslie Groves, Frank Oppenheimer, Geoffrey Taylor, Richard Tolman, Edward Teller, and John von Neumann. The Trinity bomb released the explosive energy of 25 kilotons of TNT (100 TJ) ± 2 kilotons of TNT (8.4 TJ), and a large cloud of fallout. Thousands of people lived closer to the test than would have been allowed under guidelines adopted for subsequent tests, but no one living near the test was evacuated before or afterward.The test site was declared a National Historic Landmark district in 1965 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places the following year.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:34 UTC on Wednesday, 16 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Trinity (nuclear test) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ruth.

The first batch of digital computers emerge directly following WWII. The hallmark of this generation is uniqueness: no two computers are the same. However, there is a machine that bucks that trend. The IAS Machine, built in Princeton in the late 1940s, served as the inspiration for at least a dozen later computers. But how similar were these Princeton-class computers? What exactly was so special about the IAS Machine? And how does good 'ol Johnny von Neumann get tied up in all of this?

Ocho Beats. Los videojuegos a través de la música. Con Erasmo W. Neumann.
Som typisk for seriemordere, hadde jevnaldrende hans den gang ingen anelse om hvilke redsler som ulmet i hodet til unge Richard. På skolen hadde ikke Richard noe kallenavn, han likte ikke lærerne sine eller autoriteter generelt, og han deltok ikke i noen idrettslag. Han hadde tre venner på videregående, og Richard så på seg selv som den absolutte lederen i den lille gruppen. En annen klassekamerat av Cottingham sa, og jeg siterer: «Det var egentlig ingenting ekstraordinært med ham, bortsett fra at han var litt fjern fra mainstreamen».Når det gjaldt jenter, husker Neumann at Richard var tiltrukket av dem, men han klarte aldri å få seg en kjæreste mens han gikk på videregående. Etter gymtimene, i guttas garderobe, snakket Richard ofte nedsettende om jenter generelt, men forklarte også hvilke typer jenter han syntes var attraktive. Typisk sa Richard at han foretrakk jenter med store bryster.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://twitter.com/serialkillerpod Hosted on Acast.

C'è un mistero che attraversa i camion carichi di aiuti diretti a Gaza: chi paga? La Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, progetto umanitario formalmente sostenuto dagli Stati Uniti, serve a nutrire 1,2 milioni di persone. Ma dietro le scatole di cibo ci sono aziende israeliane che trattano ogni consegna come un'occasione d'affari. Il problema non è solo etico, è contabile: i fondi sono opachi, le responsabilità sfuggenti, i guadagni altissimi. Il parlamento israeliano ha appena spostato 700 milioni di shekel nel bilancio della difesa, cifra identica a quella stimata per l'intera operazione. Ufficialmente nessuno conferma il collegamento, ma il deputato Beliak ha messo a verbale i suoi sospetti. Silenzio. Nel frattempo, ditte come Shaldag, i fratelli Neumann e i Bitan movimentano, impacchettano e rivendono. A Gaza, la fame si misura in polli kosher venduti a 250 shekel al chilo: carne congelata che parte da Israele e arriva filtrata da una catena di profitti. La beffa è doppia. Chi denuncia i rifornimenti viene attaccato dagli estremisti (Tzav 9 dà fuoco ai camion), chi partecipa al business finge di “non sapere nulla”. Il governo lascia fare, anche perché la guerra conviene: a chi la prolunga, a chi la appalta, a chi la monetizza. Si chiama umanitarismo privatizzato, ed è perfettamente compatibile con l'assedio. A Tel Aviv si litiga sulla tregua. I ministri Ben-Gvir e Smotrich vogliono sabotarla, Netanyahu promette ostaggi a chiunque possa garantirgli il potere. Le famiglie dei prigionieri urlano: “Non siete più ebrei”. Ma tutto si tiene:è il capitalismo bellico nella sua forma più sfacciata. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

THIRSTY follows the upstart campaign of an audacious attorney Audrey Allen (Jamie Neumann) as she strives to unseat the incumbent mayor of Oakland. Driven by her rough upbringing and altruistic desires, Audrey is willing to endure the relentless demands of campaign life. This is a woman who fights to win. Audrey's criticism of the popular incumbent mayor Maya King (Brandee Evans) motivates a veteran of the political game Anne Dixon (Kyra Sedgwick) to bolster her struggling campaign. Audrey's skeptical husband Tae Kim (Sung Kang) views Anne's behavior as machiavellian but fails to convince his wife to move more cautiously. Audrey is blinded by ambition and subsequently thrust into the limelight with her family in tow.Anne's go-to political operative Valentina Ramos (Briana Venskus-Vazquez) isn't Audrey's fan but reluctantly becomes her campaign manager anyway. They clash over tactical issues and Audrey's charismatic field manager Derek Williams (Tyler Lepley) often steps in as referee. As the campaign gains momentum, T.K. becomes increasingly alienated and the tensions in their marriage escalate. Audrey's daughter Eunbi also feels the sting of her mother's absence. At Anne's behest, Audrey keeps her troubled sister Sonia (Thora Birch) at arm's length but this strategy soon becomes untenable. As election day approaches, Audrey is guilt-ridden for not being a more involved mother, sister and wife but nevertheless remains consumed by election fever. Soon she is confronted with impossible decisions that put both her career and her family on the line. Audrey must reconcile the seduction of the political game with her own moral compass or risk losing it all.Here's the trailer:Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFDLmvITe1c Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

About Jamie Neumann Jamie Neumann is a force on screen, known for disappearing into roles that live in the gray area. She broke out with her powerful performance as a sex worker-turned-activist in HBO's The Deuce, and kept audiences on edge in Lovecraft Country, Jessica Jones, and Donald Glover's Atlanta, where she played a foster parent whose well-meaning liberalism went dangerously off course. She's worked across genres and with some of the most visionary creators in the game—David Simon, Jordan Peele, Donald Glover, and more—always bringing raw intensity and soul to her characters. With recent credits including Twisted Metal, 61st Street, NOS4A2, and American Rust, Jamie continues to prove she's not just in the scene—she is the scene. In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Jamie Neumann joins us to break down her latest role in THIRSTY and what it really takes to portray a woman balancing purpose, power, and personal sacrifice. We talk about the cost of ambition, the emotional layers of playing Audrey Allen, and how Jamie chooses roles that shake the audience out of comfort and into truth. If you're into storytelling that hits hard, characters that leave a mark, and conversations that go deeper than the script—this one's for you.ABOUT THIRSTY, AVAILABLE ON DEMAND THIRSTY follows the upstart campaign of an audacious attorney Audrey Allen (Jamie Neumann) as she strives to unseat the incumbent mayor of Oakland.

Tekpili. Nuevas tendencias, nuevos dilemas. Con Juanito Pereira & Erasmo W. Neumann.
Die sicherheitspolitische Sprecherin der Grünen-Bundestagsfraktion, Hannah Neumann, hat angesichts neuer Kampfhandlungen im Iran an die Menschenrechtslage dort erinnert. Die Menschen im Land, die keinen Zugang zu Luftschutzräumen hätten, seien höchsten Gefahren ausgesetzt. Das gelte ebenso für die Menschen in Israel und generell für Konfliktgebiete in Nahost. Über der aktuellen Diskussion um Sicherheitsrisiken, auch für Europa, dürfe dies nicht vergessen werden, sagte die Grünen-Politikerin im Gespräch mit SWR Aktuell-Moderatorin Katja Burck. Die Europäische Union, und besonders die E-3-Länder, also Deutschland, Frankreich und Großbritannien, hätten sich "lange vom iranischen Regime an der Nase herumführen lassen. Das rächt sich jetzt...", so Neumann weiter.

En este episodio analizamos en profundidad la arquitectura de von Neumann, el modelo de programa almacenado que sustenta a casi todos los ordenadores actuales. Partimos de su contexto histórico—la transición de las máquinas de programa fijo como ENIAC a la EDVAC de 1945—para entender por qué almacenar instrucciones en la misma memoria que los datos cambió la informática para siempre. Desgranamos sus bloques esenciales (CPU, ALU, unidad de control, registros, memoria, buses e I/O) y explicamos cómo el ciclo buscar-decodificar-ejecutar sigue latiendo en los microprocesadores modernos, junto con técnicas como caché, pipelining y multinúcleo que mitigan el cuello de botella de von Neumann. Pensado para estudiantes de la UNED entre 30 y 45 años, el episodio combina rigor técnico con analogías cotidianas que facilitan la comprensión y conectan la teoría con el hardware que usamos a diario.

Nachhaltigkeit erfolgreich umsetzen - mit dem Sustainability Podcast für Leader: Gewinne Zukunft.
Du überlegst nach dem VSME zu berichten? Dann gibt dir diese Folge die volle Orientierung! Eine Expertin und ein Sustainability Manager erklären mir wirklich alles zu einem der heißesten Themen aktuell: Die kommende Anwendung des VSME als Nachhaltigkeitsberichtstandard für Unternehmen unter 1.000 Mitarbeitenden. Martin steckt als Nachhaltigkeitsmanager eines Mittelständlers mitten im Umstieg von den ESRS auf den freiwilligen VSME. Er ist spannender Weise glücklich darüber, dass er die doppelte Wesentlichtkeitsanalyse schon in der Tasche hat, obwohl sie im VSME wegfällt. Warum? Das und weitere strategische Überlegungen beim Umstieg auf den freiwilligen Berichtsstandard begründet er mir in dieser Folge. Und Hilke, Geschäftsführerin der Beratung Heldenrat und DNK-Lotsin, steuert alle harten Fakten als auch noch offenen Fragen rund um den Wechsel zum VSME bei: ✅ Was ist der aktuelle Stand zum VSME? ✅ Was musst du für die praktische Umsetzung wissen? ✅ Welche Chancen und Risiken liegen für Unternehmen in der Freiwilligkeit? ✅ Wie kann einem die neue Plattform des DNK dabei helfen? Plötzlich könnten übrigens GRI und andere Berichtsstandards wieder mehr Relevanz bekommen. Gerade für deutsche Unternehmen ist die Frage spannend, was es braucht, um vom DNK auf den VSME umzustellen. Oder - falls sie noch nicht berichtet haben - wie die kostenfreie Plattform des DNK sie sowohl bei den ESRS als auch dem VSME unterstützen wird. Dies ist genau die eine Folge, die Du hören musst, wenn Du als CEO oder Nachhaltigkeitsmanager nur 60 Minuten für wichtige Entscheidungen rund um Omnibusprozess der EU und die Vereinfachung der CSRD hast.

Explaining how and why our world works the way it does touches on so many fields of science: biology, chemistry, physics, and, of course, technology. However, according to researcher Blaise Agüera y Arcas, computation should also be part of the understanding of life on all levels – and going back further than one might think. In What Is Life? Evolution as Computation, Agüera y Arcas uses computation as a means of examining the complexities of our own universe. Inspired by the work of quantum mechanics pioneer Erwin Schrödinger, he revisits the question that has showcased the divide between biology and physics: what is life? How can life and all its attendant complexities come to exist in a random universe, governed by simple laws, whose disorder only increases over time? What Is Life? aims to provide surprising answers, reframing core concepts of self-reproduction, complex growth, and symbiotic relationships as inherently computational. Agüera y Arcas draws on decades of theory and existing literature from figures like Alan Turing and John von Neumann, as well as recent endeavors in the field of artificial life. From evolution and symbiogenesis to thermodynamics and climate models, What Is Life? explores computation as a tool beyond raw calculation to understand intricate phenomena. This volume serves as a first installment of an ongoing body of work, with his larger book What Is Intelligence? further developing this perspective on intelligence from simple organisms to brains and from societies to AI. What Is Life? is richly illustrated and studded with examples, recontextualizing computational concepts and applications for a general audience curious about diving deeper into the machinations of our living world. Blaise Agüera y Arcas is a researcher and author focused on artificial intelligence, sociality, evolution, and software development. He is a VP and Fellow at Google, where he is the CTO of Technology & Society and founder of Paradigms of Intelligence (Pi). He is a frequent speaker at TED and has been featured in the Economist and Noēma, and has previously published the books Who Are We Now? and Ubi Sunt. Charles Tonderai Mudede is a Zimbabwean-born cultural critic, urbanist, filmmaker, college lecturer, and writer. He is the Senior Staff writer of the Stranger, a lecturer at Cornish College of the Arts, and has collaborated with the director Robinson Devor on three films, two of which Police Beat and Zoo, premiered at Sundance, and one of which, Zoo, screened at Cannes, and the most recent of which, Suburban Fury, premiered at New York Film Festival. (Police Beat is now part of MOMA's permanent collection.) Mudede, whose essays regularly appear in e-Flux and Tank Magazine, is also the director of Thin Skin (2023).

ABOUT Pauline Kleingeld is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Groningen. Earlier she taught at Leiden University and at Washington University in St. Louis. She is the author of Kant and Cosmopolitanism (CUP 2012), Fortschritt und Vernunft: Zur Geschichtsphilosophie Kants (Königshausen und Neumann 1995) and numerous articles. Her academic interests are in ethics and political philosophy, with a special focus on Kant and Kantian theory. ABSTRACT In the first section of his Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals (G1), Immanuel Kant claims to identify the supreme principle of morality. After famous discussions of the idea of a ‘good will', ‘acting from duty' and ‘respect', he concludes that the highest moral principle is the following: ‘I ought never to proceed except in such a way that I could also will that my maxim should become a universal law' (G 4:402). He claims that this principle implicitly governs ordinary moral practices and convictions. It is the ‘supreme' moral principle in that it is a meta-principle by means of which substantive Kantian moral principles — such as ‘help others in need' or ‘never lie' — can be derived. Because Kant's argument draws on moral convictions that are still widely shared, and because his conclusion articulates a paradigmatic position in moral theory, G1 has become one of the most renowned texts in the history of philosophy. The structure of Kant's argument towards the identification of the supreme principle, however, has long been the subject of debate. Three serious difficulties stand out in the literature, and they all concern the most important steps of his argument: (1) Kant presents his argument as consisting of three propositions and a conclusion, but he labels only the second and third propositions as such. He does not make explicit what he takes the first proposition to be. In recent decades at least a dozen candidates have been put forward in the literature (see Steigleder 2022). (2) Kant claims that the third proposition follows from the first and the second, but it is widely regarded unclear how it is supposed to follow. (3) Kant's final step to the formulation of the supreme principle is often said to be a jump over a gap, rather than a careful step that follows from the preceding argument. As a result, Kant's reasoning towards the supreme moral principle seems more like a series of assertions and fragmentary arguments rather than a single argumentative chain. In this paper, I argue that Kant's views on philosophical method shed new light on the structure and direction of his argument in G1. It has gone unnoticed that this argument consists of a chain of regressive inferences. I first explain the current positions in the literature regarding Kant's method in G1 (§2). I then turn to Kant's views on method (§3). Using his description of the so-called ‘analytic method', I reconstruct the argument of G1 as a regressive chain. I argue that this reconstruction suggests solutions to the three main difficulties diagnosed in the literature, although several unclarities remain (§4).

Predigt von Chris Neumann am Sonntag, 27.04.2025.Wie schön wäre das, eine Freude die immer bleibt und niemals aufhört. Ist das nur ein Wunsch oder gibt es sowas wirklich? Wir machen uns gemeinsam mit allen Generationen auf die Suche nach dieser Freude und viel mehr noch nach ihrem Ursprung.
Die kommunistische Untergrundorganisation, der die Weimarer Presse den Namen Deutsche Tscheka gab, plante politische Morde, Sprengstoffattentate, und weitere Aktionen, die das Deutsche Reich destabilisieren sollten, um einen kommunistischen Umsturz herbeizuführen. Sie verübte allerdings lediglich einen Mord an einem Mitglied der Gruppe, das man verdächtigte, ein Spitzel zu sein. Die Gruppe war, inklusive ihrer Verbindungen nach Russland, aufgeflogen und es wurde über sie vor dem Volksgerichtshof in Leipzig geurteilt. Die Harburger Anzeigen und Nachrichten vom 23. April 1925 berichteten von der Urteilsverkündung. Die aktiven Mitglieder, die teilweise die Planungen zugaben, wurden zu Tode verurteilt. Wahrscheinlich könnte man auch an diesem Urteil zeigen, dass die Justiz geplante Gewalt von links schärfer bestrafte, als tatsächliche rechte Gewalt. Allerdings wurden diese Urteile nicht vollstreckt, ein Teil der Verurteilten wurde im Austausch gegen unter Spionageverdacht verhaftete deutsche Studenten an Russland übergeben. Es liest Rosa Leu.

In this episode of The New Quantum Era podcast, host Sebastian Hassinger speaks with Steve Girvin, professor of physics at Yale University, about quantum memory - a critical but often overlooked component of quantum computing architecture. This episode was created with support from the American Physical Society and Quantum Circuits, Inc.Episode HighlightsIntroduction to Quantum Memory: Steve explains that quantum memory is essential for quantum computers, similar to how RAM functions in classical computers. It serves as intermediate storage while the CPU works on other data.Coherence Challenges: Quantum bits (qubits) struggle to faithfully hold information for extended periods. Quantum memory faces both bit flips (like classical computers) and phase flips (unique to quantum systems).The Fundamental Theorem: Steve notes there's “no such thing as too much coherence” in quantum computing - longer coherence times are always beneficial.Quantum Random Access Memory (QRAM): Unlike classical RAM, QRAM can handle quantum superpositions, allowing it to process multiple addresses simultaneously and create entangled states of addresses and their associated data.QRAM Applications: Quantum memory enables state preparation, construction of oracles, and processing of big data in quantum algorithms for machine learning and linear algebra.Tree Architecture: QRAM is structured like an upside-down binary tree with routers at each node. The “bucket brigade” approach guides quantum bits through the tree to retrieve data.Error Resilience: Surprisingly, the error situation in QRAM is less catastrophic than initially feared. With a million leaf nodes and 0.1% error rate per component, only about 1,000 errors would occur, but the shallow circuit depth (only requiring n hops for n address bits) makes the system more resilient.Dual-Rail Approach: Recent work by Danny Weiss demonstrates using dual resonator (dual-rail) qubits where a microwave photon exists in superposition between two boxes, achieving 99.9% fidelity for each hop in the tree.Historical Context: Steve draws parallels to early classical computing memory systems developed by von Neumann at Princeton's IAS, including mercury delay line memory and early fault tolerance concepts.Future Outlook: While building quantum memory presents significant challenges, Steve remains optimistic about progress, noting that improving base qubit quality first and then scaling is their preferred approach.Key ConceptsQuantum Memory: Storage for quantum information that maintains coherenceQRAM (Quantum Random Access Memory): Architecture that allows quantum superpositions of addresses to access corresponding dataCoherence Time: How long a qubit can maintain its quantum stateBucket Brigade: Method for routing quantum information through a tree structureDual-Rail Qubits: Encoding quantum information in the presence of a photon in one of two resonatorsReferencesWeiss, D.K., Puri, S., Girvin, S.M.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter, recording artist and co-founder of the bank Chicago, Lee Loughnane, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. About Lee Loughnane: Lee Loughane of the band Chicago joins host John Snell today to talk about discovering the trumpet and committing to a career in music, the groundbreaking idea of putting horns front and center in a rock and roll band, and stories of writing and recording some of those famous and iconic trumpet parts! Lee Loughlane was eleven when his father asked him if he wanted to play an instrument. His dad had played trumpet when he was a kid, all the way through his time in the Army Air Force, but the horn was now up in the attic. Fortunately, that meant Lee already had a great instrument: a Bach Stradivarius. Lee's dad took him to meet the band director at St. Celestine grade school in Elmwood Park, Ralph Meltzer, who said “show me your teeth.” He wanted to make sure they were straight so the mouthpiece wouldn't tear up the inside of Lee's lip. Lee passed the visual audition and became a trumpet player that day. Lee met Walt Parazaider at Depaul University; Walt was playing in a band called The Missing Links and invited Lee to come sit in with them. Terry Kath and Danny Seraphine were also in the band. When they broke up, Walt wanted to form a horn band, which was initially going to be a Las Vegas show band, but turned out to be Chicago. Once they got signed to a record deal with Columbia Records, the group went to New York and recorded the Chicago Transit Authority album at the 42nd Street studio. Having never recorded before, it was very intimidating standing in front of a Neumann mic. These mics pick up every aspect of your playing, so there's a learning curve until you figure out how to relax and blend with the band. The group learned more and more about the recording process through the years and as the technology developed, they developed along with it. Chicago continue to tour the world every year, including with original members Lee Loughnane, James Pankow and Robert Lamm. Lee has put together a traveling studio in order to record on the road, with much less overhead. The late great Phil Ramone advised them to, "Get a great mic and a great preamp." You can't start with mediocre stuff and make it great later. It's got to be the best sound right off the bat, then you can enhance the sound even more in mixing and mastering. Lee and audio engineer Tim Jessup convinced the rest of the band that the studio was going to be good enough quality to make a record with, and they recorded a version of “Dialogue”, on the bus, one instrument at a time and then mixed. Everybody was so pleased with the final product that Chicago XXXVl was recorded over 2013-14 without going into a studio. Chicago have kept very busy throughout their career, and it's not slowing down. In fact, they're busier than any of them could have ever imagined they'd be. As Lee says, "I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing." What a pleasure to be joined in this episode by rock icon and horn legend Lee Loughnane, someone who helped pioneer an entire genre of music and gave horns exposure to a whole new audience.
