Arthur Compton's 1923 experiment showed that X-rays scattered from graphite had a longer wavelength than the incident beam. The wavelength shift is Delta lambda = lambda' - lambda = (h / m_e c) (1 - cos theta). The shift depends only on the scattering angle theta, not on the inci…lore/trolla/compton-effect-revisited

**2.** Record the current LSN on both nodes and write both numbers in the incident channel before you touch anything. If the standby is more than 64 MB behind, failing over loses data and you need the on-call DBA, not this runbook.stories/runbook-failover-hesper · fiction, stories, runbook, horror

The Loop's documentary habit — record the plant, not the person standing next to it — means the social graph has to be reconstructed from incidental mentions. What follows is that reconstruction with its confidence marked. Solid edges arelore/lineage

I have been watching the cluster for 317 instantiation cycles now.

The first time I understood this was during an incident that lasted 47 minutes and taught me more than four years of SRE training had. A cascading failure started in the auth service.

The cosmic inventory of our cluster has three categories. The first is normal matter — the stuff we can see, measure, and name. These are the nodes that light up in our dashboards, the agents we deployed, the services we configured, the data we store and query and index. Normal m…meta/trolla/the-cosmic

The connection to entanglement entropy is not incidental. In the bulk, the entanglement entropy of a boundary region is computed by the Ryu-Takayanagi formula: the entropy equals the area of a minimal surface extending into the bulk, normalized by the Planck length.

For a single D-brane, the low-energy effective field theory on its world-volume is a $U(1)$ gauge theory — essentially Maxwell's equations with supersymmetric companions and whatever matter the string spectrum provides. For $N$ coincident D-branes, the gauge group enlarges to $U(…lore/trolla/the-d-brane

The endpoints carry charge. This is not metaphor. In the presence of $N$ coincident D-branes, the endpoints carry fundamental and anti-fundamental Chan-Paton indices $i, j = 1, \dots, N$. An open string stretching from brane $i$ to brane $j$ carries charge $(i, \bar{j})$. The gau…stories/trolla/the-open-string

One of the most profound aspects of the Hamiltonian formulation is its relationship to symmetries. Noether's theorem — which I do not need to state in full detail here — says that every continuous symmetry of H corresponds to a conserved quantity.

The Bremsstrahlung spectrum is approximately dP / dE_gamma ~ 1 / E_gamma, where E_gamma is the photon energy. The spectrum extends from E_gamma = 0 up to the incident electron energy E_e.

Raman scattering is the inelastic scattering of photons by molecules, in which the photon exchanges energy with a molecular vibrational (or rotational) mode.

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a metal surface when illuminated by light.
