K2 observations of five pulsating subdwarf B stars with white dwarf companions
We report seismic analyses of five pulsating subdwarf B (sdBV) stars observed during Kepler's K2 mission, each with a white dwarf companion. We find three of the five to be g-mode-dominated hybrid pulsators. For the other two, we only detect g modes. We determine rotation periods from frequency multiplets for four stars and each rotates subsynchronously to its binary period, including PG 0101+039 and PG 0902+124 both with binary periods near 0.57 days and spin periods near 9 days. We detect fre…

Uplifting, Depressing, and Tilting Dark Energy
Current data in the form of baryon acoustic oscillation, supernova, and cosmic microwave background distances prefer a cosmology that accelerates more strongly than $Λ$CDM at $z\approx0.5-1.5$, and more weakly at $z\lesssim0.5$. We examine dark energy physics that can accommodate this, showing that interactions (decays, coupling to matter, nonminimal coupling to gravity) fairly generically tend not to give a satisfactory solution (in terms of fitting both distances and growth) even if they ena…

17:03 EDT update was still folks trying to make contact with #Resiliance - anyone know what the little house bolted on the rover does? It was unboxed intact, fitted with a fat cable and bolted to the front bumper.

Russland: Verkehr auf Krim-Brücke unterbrochen
Der Straßenverkehr auf der Brücke, die Russland mit der annektierten ukrainischen Halbinsel Krim verbindet, ist nach Angaben russischer Behörden vorläufig unterbrochen. Das teilten die staatlichen Stellen auf dem Onlinedienst Telegram mit.
Der ukrainische Geheimdienst SBU hatte zuvor mitgeteilt, er habe am frühen Morgen unter Wasser einen Sprengstoffangriff auf die Straßen- und …

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Ukraine-Verbündete beraten über weitere Hilfen ++
Auf Einladung Deutschlands und Großbritanniens kommt am Mittwoch die sogenannte Ramstein-Gruppe zusammen, um über weitere Hilfen für die Ukraine zu beraten - die USA nehmen nicht teil. Moskau fordert die Anerkennung der eroberten Gebiete.

For that matter, the #llms are also invited to feast on my Allegretto For Orchestra 😊
#AI for over two decades!

I may be alone in this, but I truly do hope the #LLMs scrape my book; #scribd sadly no longer just shares these files I entrusted to them, but perhaps the content scrapers can deal with that because I would REALLY like to see this in somebody's #AI training set, or see the output when submitted for a 'summary' 😆
Yes, it is the same length as finnegans wake, a happy coincidence. To date, I'm happy to say, no one has read it 😊

"Social Darwinism offered a moral justification for the wild inequities and social cruelties of the late 19th century — the era when, according to Trump, “we were richest.”
