Well tomorrow will be the absolutely last resort to fix that iMac Pro, trying to install macOS from thumb drive
Internet recovery is failing, possibly because the SSD isn’t partitioned right (which is hinted at that while it boots into target disk mode I don’t see any disk when connected to it).
We shall see…

Study reveals hidden 'chemical currency' fueling the ocean's carbon cycle
A new study, led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Columbia University, identifies a diverse set of molecules released by marine phytoplankton that fuel microbial life and help drive Earth's carbon cycle. While scientists know that carbon is moved through an invisible network of phytoplankton and other microbes in the surface ocean, the specific compounds have long been a mystery. These compounds are small, chemically difficult to detect in salty seawater, and are rapidly consu…

anyone know an equivalent drop-in replacement for the Humirei HS-1101/HS-1100 humidity sensor? the 1100s aren’t being made at all anymore, and only clones of the 1101 are being made. i have no issue with using clone components (the one I’m replacing is a clone) but this general style of sensor seems incredibly fragile and prone to falling out of calibration. (the one I’m replacing had, and then broke when I tried to take it apart to clean/investigate it)

@… Shiny!
Are you just following the reference circuit from the J1772:2001 spec?
Aka, this is a handful of voltage-drop resisters (and one diode) in the CP-PE loop on the kettle-side, and switching one more in for ready/boiling?
Did you bother with any PWM signalling?

Hidden Higher-Order Vulnerabilities in Simplicial Complexes Revealed by Branch-Consistent Functional Robustness

Abstract: Robustness of higher-order networks is often quantified by the instantaneous smallest positive eigenvalue of the Hodge $1$-Laplacian under simplex deletion. We show that this observable is generically ill-defined: along a deletion trajectory, eigenvalue branches can switch, so the quantity being monitored may correspond to different nonharmonic modes at different steps. The primary issue is therefore definitional rather than algorithmic. We resolve it by fixing the first nonharmonic branch of the intact complex and following that same branch throughout the damage process, which defines a branch-consistent functional robustness. Triangle sensitivities then follow directly from first-order perturbation theory, making the resulting mode-sensitive deletion protocol a consequence of the observable itself rather than an independent heuristic. Across synthetic and empirical clique complexes, removing only a small fraction of triangles is sufficient to drive the tracked mode to collapse, while graph-level observables remain unchanged because the $1$-skeleton is exactly preserved. The same framework also reveals bridge-like localization of functionally critical simplices and provides a compact predictor of dynamical timescales.
