28·11 days agoGUI - graphical user interface, like a windowed program.
Non-gui, lacking a window, like running a command in a terminal (or command prompt).

132·17 days ago“This technology turns every router into a potential means for surveillance,” warns Julian Todt from KASTEL. “If you regularly pass by a café that operates a WiFi network, you could be identified there without noticing it and be recognized later – for example by public authorities or companies.”
Later…
Inexpensive or older routers either don’t store history at all or keep it for a short time.
Newer models can store more information for more extended periods.

Science@lemmy.ml•'Negative Time' Really Does Exist, New Experiments SuggestEnglish
12·24 days agohttps://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/gjfq-k9dv
Abstract
When a photon traverses a cloud of atoms without scattering, how much time does it spend as an atomic excitation? To address this question, we used the cross-Kerr effect to weakly probe the degree of atomic excitation caused by a transmitted resonant “signal” photon by measuring the phase shift induced on a (separate, off-resonant) “probe” beam, postselected on cases when the signal photon is transmitted. The time integral of this observed phase shift, properly normalized and averaged over many runs in which the photon is detected after transmission, is the excitation time of interest, in a weak-valued sense. We measured mean atomic excitation times ranging from (−0.82±0.31)𝜏0 for the most narrow band pulse to (0.54±0.28)𝜏0 for the most broadband signal pulse, where 𝜏0 is the non-post-selected excitation time, given by the scattering probability multiplied by the atomic lifetime 𝜏sp . Across a range of pulse durations and optical depths, our results are consistent with the recent theoretical prediction that the weak value of the atomic excitation time caused by a transmitted photon equals the group delay experienced by the light. Our experimental results show that negative times are not limited to describing the shift in the peak of a reshaped wave packet (as resulting from group delay), but they also provide the appropriate description of the weak-valued time the photon spends as an atomic excitation.
Atomic excitation refers to the process where an electron in an atom absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy level or orbit.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Many mythology seem to share a concept of spirits is there an explanation for that?English
111·26 days agoYour question is broader than you think.
For one culture to have an idea and share it to others isn’t uncommon. Pyramids are in Egypt and Mesoamerica. Giants exist in many cultural myths (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_giants_in_mythology_and_folklore) as are ghosts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ghosts).
You see, an idea that’s communicated is a meme.
" A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. "

If you’re considering spirit as a soul
https://www.planksip.org/the-concept-of-the-soul-in-ancient-philosophy-and-soul-1763067454225/
TL;DR: So, why does it exist across cultures? It’s a meme.

“Prior to its release, the impact of slavery was easy to diminish or deny by those that benefited the most from that system,” said Annastasia Williams, bookshop director at The Bottom bookstore and cultural organization.

Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•Hantavirus could be in semen. According to a 2023 study in the journal Viruses, the rat borne virus can survive in human semen for up to six years after that person became infected.English

Abstract When infecting humans, Andes orthohantavirus (ANDV) may cause a severe disease called hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS). Following non-specific symptoms, the infection may progress to a syndrome of hemorrhagic fever combined with hyper-acute cardiopulmonary failure. The case fatality rate ranges between 25–40%, depending on the outbreak. In this study, we present the follow-up of a male patient who recovered from HCPS six years ago. We demonstrate that the ANDV genome persists within the reproductive tract for at least 71 months. Genome sequence analysis early and late after infection reveals a low number of mutations (two single nucleotide variants and one deletion), suggesting limited replication activity. We can exclude the integration of the viral genome into the host genome, since the treatment of the specimen with RNAse led to a loss of signal. We demonstrate a long-lasting, strong neutralizing antibody response using pseudovirions expressing the ANDV glycoprotein. Taken together, our results show that ANDV has the potential for sexual transmission.
Keywords: Andes virus; persistence; semen; neutralizing antibodies
TLDR: The ANDV genome persists within the reproductive tract for at least 71 months. ANDV has the potential for sexual transmission.
