2/ Leider gibt es ein paar Fehler, die eigentlich bei Klimaberichterstattung nicht passieren dürfen. Im Beitrag steht, dass das klimaverträgliche Budget eines Menschen bei 1,5 Tonnen pro Jahr liegt. Das stimmt im Prinzip, nur dass wir Deutschen nach allen Maßstäben, die man so anlegen könnte, unser Budget bereits aufgebraucht haben. Historisch sind wir ohnehin schon jenseits von gut und böse. Aber selbst wenn man 1992 oder 2015 (Pariser Abkommen) als Startpunkt nimmt, ist unsere Restbudget seit Anfang diesen Jahres aufgebraucht.

Signatures of quantum geometry from exponential corrections to the black hole entropy
It has been recently shown in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125 (2020) 041302] that microstate counting carried out for quantum states residing on the horizon of a black hole leads to a correction of the form $\exp(-A/4l_p^2)$ in the Bekenstein-Hawking form of the black hole entropy. In this paper, we develop a novel approach to obtain the possible form of the spacetime geometry from the entropy of the black hole for a given horizon radius. The uniqueness of this solution for a given energy-momentum tensor…

There are only 2 options to explain Biden's complete lack of fucks given about getting anyone's votes:

2) the bourgeoisie have already chosen Trump so Biden's favorability doesn't matter
My money is on 1.
I think 2 is discredited by how hard the 2020 election was fought. I don't see signs that the bourgeoisie have flipped that much in just 4 years.

Computing Longest Common Subsequence under Cartesian-Tree Matching Model
Two strings of the same length are said to Cartesian-tree match (CT-match) if their Cartesian-trees are isomorphic [Park et al., TCS 2020]. Cartesian-tree matching is a natural model that allows for capturing similarities of numerical sequences. Oizumi et al.

Comment on "Spin-trap isomers in deformed, odd-odd nuclei in the light rare-earth region near $N=98$"
A new isomeric state in $^{162}$Tb at 285.5(32) keV was reported by R. Orford et al. [Phys. Rev. C 102, 011303(R) (2020)] from the Penning-trap mass measurement. Here we show that this result is not compatible with existing experimental data. We also demonstrate that the state identified as the $^{162}$Tb ground state is most likely a contaminant while the mass-excess value of $^{162}$Tb$^{m}$ is the real ground state.

Wisconsin is very White. But it has been blue in recent elections.
White voters without college degrees have kept Democrats competitive in states such as Wisconsin and are crucial to preventing a second term for Trump.

PHCpack is a software package for polynomial homotopy continuation, which provides a robust path tracker [Telen, Van Barel, Verschelde, SISC 2020]. This tracker computes the radius of convergence of Newton's method, estimates the distance to the nearest path, and then applies Padé approximants to predict the next point on the path. A priori step size control is less sensitive to finely tuned tolerances than a posteriori step size control, and is therefore robust. The Python interface phcpy is …

Today I surpassed my count of push-ups for all of 2020 — when I started my calisthenics fitness adventure. I did 175 today, 84 in the first set. The last 26 were with parallettes.
I do decline push-ups now with a 29½-cm offset (elevation at the feet). I raised the offset in February after exceeding my target of two sets of 100 reps with the 11½ offset I us…
