Ethernet nerds: Does this section from 802.3-2022 actually require that you be able to read the currently negotiated speed and duplex state back from this register, or only write to force a specific speed?
Every PHY I've ever seen except the VSC8512 lets you read back the actual operating conditions, but reading the spec it seems that there's not actually a mandate that this capability be there.
The register is defined as readable but it's not well defined whether it …

What’s really fascinating about this graph is that used Tesla prices started plummeting circa fall 2022, about the time Musk wrecked Twitter, 2.5 years •before• the #TeslaTakedown movement started.
What’s killing Tesla? It’s not just the protests. The brand was already fundamental damaged. Protests simply gave coherence to a disgust that was •already• powerful and widespread.
Musk is permanently radioactive. Institutional investors take note — and get out while you can.

Multi-wavelength analysis of FSRQ B2 1348+30B: Constraints on the jet power
We present 14.5-year multi-wavelength analysis of flat-spectrum radio quasar B2 1348+30B using Swift-UVOT, Swift-XRT, and Fermi-LAT observations. In the gamma-ray band, the 3 day bin lightcurve reveals two major flaring events on 2010-09-19 (55458 MJD) and 2022-05-26 (59725 MJD) detected at flux levels $(2.5\pm 0.5) \times 10^{-7}\,\rm{ph\,cm^{-2}\,s^{-1}}$ and $(5.2\pm 0.6) \times 10^{-7}\,\rm{ph\,cm^{-2}\,s^{-1}}$. The Bayesian block analysis of the flares suggested the variability timescale …

A Relativistic Jet in the Radio Quiet AGN Mrk 110
We report the discovery of a relativistic jet in Mrk~110, a narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy historically classified as a radio-quiet active galactic nucleus (AGN). Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations reveal intermittent jet activity during 2015--2016 and 2022--2024, with proper motion measurements yielding superluminal velocities of $\sim3.6\pm0.6\,c$ and $\sim2.1\pm0.2\,c$, respectively. The recent jet component decelerates to $\sim 1.5\pm0.2\,c$ at a projected distance of 1.1 p…

Extremely hot day in the Netherlands again, especially in the South. In over a century of records until 2019, no station in the country had ever reached a temperature of 39°C.
Today was the third time the city of Maastricht saw it happen, and this was by far the earliest in summer for any station.

Yesterday Trump told us that his plan was to remove 21m people from the United States,
or 6% of our current population and at least 5% of our total current workforce.
“All of them have to go home.”
A few points about this insane post:
Best estimates are that the total undocumented population in the US is between 12m and 15m.
The figure that Trump and his regime keeps using
- 21m came in under Biden
- is made up and false.
Here’s the latest Pe…

Decoding the Hot-Mitochondrion Paradox
In a 2018 paper and a subsequent article published in 2023, researchers reported that mitochondria maintain temperatures 10-15 degrees higher than the surrounding cytoplasm - a finding that deviates by 5 to 6 orders of magnitude from theoretical predictions based on Fourier s law of heat conduction. In 2022, we proposed a solution to this apparent paradox. In the present perspective, we build upon that framework and introduce new ideas to further unravel how a biological membrane - whether of a…

A deep X-ray/UV look into the reflaring stage of the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658
We present a detailed X-ray/UV high-time resolution monitoring of the final reflaring phase of the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX~J1808.4$-$3658. During its 2022 outburst, we obtained simultaneous XMM-Newton and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations. We detected coherent X-ray pulsations down to a 0.5-10~keV luminosity of $L_{X(low)\,0.5-10} \simeq 6.21^{+0.20}_{-0.15} \times 10^{34} \, d^2_{3.5}\,\mathrm{erg \, s^{-1}}$, among the lowest ever observed in this source. The uninterrupted co…

Updated line list for the principal isotopologue of carbon monoxide
The line list for the principal isotopologue of CO calculated earlier by the present authors [1, 2] with the irregular dipole-moment function (DMF) is updated with use of the recent high-precision measurements in the 3-0 [3, 4] (Bielska et al. 2022, Hodges et al. 2025) and 7-0 [5] (Balashov et al. 2023) bands. The new data came in contradiction with the experimental data on the 1-0 band [6, 7]. Therefore, we performed fitting several model DMFs to the modified original data set of Meshkov et al…
