Flying With Gamma-Ray Counters: Another Test Or Two Of The Radiacode Zero (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yesterday I traveled all day, moving my family back to Lulea from Padova. The trip is long because there is no direct connection from Venice to Stockholm (Norwegian has one, but I prefer to avoid them as they canceled my flight recently). So it's Venice-Copenhagen at 9AM, followed by Copenhagen-Stockholm, and then finally Stockholm-Lulea, reaching destination at 8PM. With two 9-months infants and a small dog, plus all the stuff you need to answer their daily needs, it is a physically extenuating
Some Tests Of The Radiacode Zero (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I explained previously, these days I am testing a new radiation detector from the Radiacode family: Radiacode Zero. While cheaper than other models, this new instrument beats all others on a very important aspect - its dynamical range is astounding, making it an emergency instrument much more reliable than almost any other pocket device on the market. It can detect and measure gamma and x radiation at just a hundred nanoSieverts per hour - a flux that equates to 1.6 counts per second of x-ray
Radiacode Zero - A Powerful New Radiation Detector (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ionizing radiation is all around us. We do not notice it: we have not developed any sense to detect it. Yet it may affect us in very serious ways, particularly because its effect on living cells and organisms is cumulative: a progressive degradation. The human body has ways to cope with the attack from various kinds of poisons, by progressively eliminating them; but it can do nothing against radiation damage. An analogy could be a computer screen: you can periodically remove dust and stains with
On The Annihilation Risk From AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The debate on the risk connected with the development of superintelligent systems has been going on for a while now, and in the last few years it has intensified considerably - especially since large language models have established themselves as powerful new oracles, mathematics superpowers, and code-writing wizards. So the very recent declarations by the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic, among others, cannot be considered as bolts from the blue. However, we are sitting on a very steep slope of AI
When A Bump Gets Greedy: A Connection I Had Missed For 25 Years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in 2009 I wrote in this blog a rather technical post about something I had called the “greedy bump bias.” (GBB) The effect I referred to had emerged from a 2003 CDF study of mine, where I considered the extraction of small signals sitting on top of much larger backgrounds.That work went unpublished, but then I took revenge with the blog post... But never put a full stop on a lingering question, until today. The problem itself is extremely common in particle physics. Suppose that you are loo
