  1. I have had the huge privilege of seeing the very best of the NHS these past few days. My better half had open heart surgery on Tuesday and has been in ICU since. The skill, professionalism, teamwork and care shown by everyone, from consultant to ward cleaner is utterly humbling. I will be forever grateful. More importantly I will fight with all I have for the NHS.

  2. These Are the Expert Tips to Cooking Italian Sausage Perfectly Every Time

    Italian sausage feels like one of those foods that should be easy to cook well. Throw it in a pan, brown it up and dinner’s done. Somehow, though, it’s also really easy …

    > Einstein's famous thought experiment was about the "falling elevator", that is, if you are in a box and can't look outside, you can not distinguish whether you fall freely, or you are located [ or: you "drift freely" ] far away from a planet where there is no gravitational field

    As far as Einstein's famous "elevator" thought experiment(s) have relevance for proclaiming and illustrating some non-trivial equivalence, they are rather (to be called and distinguished as)

    - "the cabin hanging", or "being held stationary" ("in a gravitational field", i.e. "in some non-flat region") vs.

    - "the cabin accelerating evenly" (in a flat region, specifically with floor and ceiling accelerating suitably unequally such that they remain rigid wrt. each other).

    While geometric relations in a flat region can be measured or calculated explicitly, the (proclaimed) equivalence allows to make geometric assignments in a non-flat region in the first place.

    ??? This seems to require "institutional login" or somesuch ...

    > #causalSetTheory [...] assumes ST is fundamentally discrete, not like a lattice, but more like a random #graph edges representing causal relations

    Btw.: can labelling events be understood e.g. such that (causally connected and ordered) events with the same label are specifically chronologically connected; being visited by the same identifiable participant?

    > [...] surprisingly hard [...] order emerges dynamically, can change during the simulation. [...] random [...] random [...] Poisson sprinklings [...] The difficulty: edges must represent consistent order relations in the poset. Say I want to generate a random poset by adding one edge at a time at random. [...] quite costly to do even a single update.

    The #causalSetTheory problem that occupies me is quite the opposite of "random" (and thus perhaps rather simple to solve), namely:

    Would the causal sets community please provide an _explicit example_ of a graph which is

    (1) consistent with ("can be exctly embedded in", "necessarily occurs in") any suitably extended region of 3+1-dim (conformally) _flat_ spacetime, and ideally also

    (2) inconsistent with ("can not be exactly embedded in") any suitably extended region of 3+1-dim uniform (conformally) _non-flat_ spacetime, and ideally also

    (3) with at least some of its chronological ordered subgraphs being subsets of the timelike worldlines of constituents of an inertial frame (in Rindler's sense, and thus indeed very much like a lattice -- e.g. an octet-truss #PingCoincidenceLattice)

    ?

    (If that's really not as easily done as I envision, and indeed providing instances of "well-stitchedness" ( arxiv.org/abs/2302.12209 ) then I'd like to learn about remaining difficulties.)
