Michigan plays without coach Jim Harbaugh against Penn State after no court ruling to lift his ban

The Villains Threatening the Cradle of Civilization
He wore a pork pie hat and a polo shirt and had the usual bulge in his belt. His deputy had a beige suit, skinny necktie, and wore a pencil moustache and trilby, like a fifties gangster. Inside, ornate tissue boxes were stuck upside down to the roof, in case of emergencies requiring a Kleenex. Behind the driver’s head was a framed picture of the bus itself, parked proudly on a busy street in Mosul. It didn’t go faster than 40 mph and had no working air conditioning, but these failings we could forgive.

OpenAI Battles Service Disruption Linked to Russian Hackers
ChatGPT was hit by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on Wednesday, which OpenAI confirmed in a status update on Thursday. A Distributed Denial of Service attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt access to a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming it—or its surrounding infrastructure—with a flood of internet traffic. The popular Solana network was the target of a series of attacks. In September 2021, a denial of service attack was blamed for taking the network down for over 17 hours. In June 2022, Stepn, a Move-to-Earn game on the Solana network, was hit with a distributed denial of service attack.

Study examines link between underwater landslides and tsunamis
DOI: 10.1029/2023GL104818Scientists have calculated a way to determine the speed of past underwater landslides. The minimum velocity needed for an underwater landslide to trigger a tsunami is still unconfirmed, Sawyer said. The underwater landslides themselves ripped apart underwater communication cables connecting the U.S. and Europe. After all, getting a better grip on the mechanics of underwater landslides could give the public time to prepare for the hazards they cause. The techniques highlighted in the paper will also be made available to researchers interested in modeling underwater landslide deformation zones in other parts of the world.

Widely accepted Weyl semimetal shown to be a magnetic semiconductor
Source: phys.orgWeyl semimetals are highly sought after by material scientists. First predicted in the early 2010s, they belong to the class of topological materials that owe their unique transport, optical and thermoelectric behavior to distinct geometric and topological features, rather than to their chemical composition. What sets Weyl semimetals apart is that their electrons behave as if they are massless due to the presence of nodes in the electronic band structure, leading to unusual and interesting properties.
