Discovery by LLNL-led team!

 https://www.newswise.com/articles/llnl-led-team-uses-machine-learning-to-derive-black-hole-motion-from-gravitational-wave-data


A multidisciplinary team including a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) mathematician has discovered a machine learning-based technique capable of automatically deriving a mathematical model for the motion of binary black holes from raw gravitational wave data. Gravitational waves are produced by cataclysmic events such as the merger of two black holes, which ripple outward as the black holes spiral toward each other and can be detected by installations such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO).

Great stuff, at least LLNL still has cutting edge science. Anything going on LANL or is just pits?

Here at LANL it's just more of the same: hemorrhaging experience and trying to figure out how Rocky Flats ever did its job. All is well.

I think the plan is just to hire as many people as possible and hope for the "to big to fail" argument when the pits are not made. Of course my guess is there is going to some kind major safety incident sooner rather than later.

For sure an accident waiting to happen. Wasting money everyday with incompetent management. Cannot call any of these folks leaders. Think Mason or the oxygen thief Carolyn Zerkle a 4 year old ADHD mgt style! Funny hearing about the retired navy captains in mgt, the world is safer although northern NM is not with these bozos involved in LANL. 60 minutes some day.
