Day 1 of NFL free agency spells trouble for yet unknown Cowboys starter
Day one of NFL free agency was in full swing... if you're a fan of one of the 31 other NFL teams not in Dallas, Texas. If you're a Cowboys fan, you will have to wait a couple of weeks for anything "big" to happen.  For a fan, it is infuriating to see your favorite team take this approach year after year. We have seen teams get to the Super Bowl after spending big, like the Rams in 2021. The Rams were most definitely "All-In" and by many people's standards, they traded away their future for a s…

Decoding the Pulse of Community during Disasters: Resilience Analysis Based on Fluctuations in Latent Lifestyle Signatures within Human Visitation Networks
Examining the impact of disasters on life activities of populations is critical for understanding community resilience dynamics, yet it remains insufficiently studied in the existing literature. In this study, we leveraged data from more than 1.2 million anonymized human mobility communications across 30 parishes in Louisiana to construct a temporal network that tracks visitation to places from which we characterized human lifestyle signatures before, during, and after Hurricane Ida in 2021.

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Flux Upper Limits from a Targeted Search for Extragalactic Transients
We have performed targeted searches of known extragalactic transient events at millimetre wavelengths using nine seasons (2013--2021) of 98, 150, and 229\,GHz Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) observations that mapped ${\sim}40$ per cent of the sky for most of the data volume. Our data cover 88 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), 12 tidal disruption events (TDEs) and 203 other transients, including supernovae (SNe). We stack our ACT observations to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the maps. In all ca…

Neurodiversity, scotpol
The Scottish Government has spent about two years consulting on how to consult about the Learning Disabilities, Autism and Neurodivergence Bill the SNP said they'd introduce in their 2021 manifesto.
So HOW have they managed to come back with a consultation featuring a 190-page full consultation document, with a 35-page "short guide" - that's 35 pages of A4, mind?
Where the education section alone is roughly a half-hour read?
Where they felt the need to include a request to "Please USE THIS GUIDE - _here_ - on How to complete your online response"... and then forgot to actually link to the guide?
Where the page on completing a written out recorded response instructs people to "please complete the Respondent Information Form and send with your completed questionnaire" but links to neither of those documents?
...anyway, so I'll be live on the SEMA YouTube tomorrow at 12:30 trying to be as constructive and helpful as possible about all this.

Ich hab absolut nichts für #Kretschmer übrig, aber wie sehr unterscheiden sich diese Floskeln von den typischen Wendungen in diplomatischer Korrespondenz? Ich mein, als vor Jahren die Briefe an diplomatische Vertretungen geleakt wurden, waren 50% der Inhalte Floskeln wie "die Bundesrepublik Deutschland möchte Sie unserer Hochachtung versichern"

Mit »vorzüglicher Hochachtung«: Kretschmer umgarnte Putin offenbar in zwei Briefen
Sachsens Ministerpräsident Kretschmer stand schon häufiger wegen fehlender Distanz zu Wladimir Putin in der Kritik. Er bestreitet das. Nun sind zwei brisante Briefe aus den Jahren 2019 und 2021 von ihm öffentlich geworden.

Nyon Unchained: Forensic Analysis of Bosch's eBike Board Computers
Modern eBike on-board computers are basically small PCs that not only offer motor control, navigation, and performance monitoring, but also store lots of sensitive user data. The Bosch Nyon series of board computers are cutting-edge devices from one of the market leaders in the eBike business, which is why they are especially interesting for forensics. Therefore, we conducted an in-depth forensic analysis of the two available Nyon models released in 2014 and 2021. On a first-generation Nyon dev…

More than 40 years ago, Schroeppel and Shamir presented an algorithm that solves the Subset Sum problem for $n$ integers in time $O^*(2^{0.5n})$ and space $O^*(2^{0.25n})$. The time upper bound remains unbeaten, but the space upper bound has been improved to $O^*(2^{0.249999n})$ in a recent breakthrough paper by Nederlof and Węgrzycki (STOC 2021). Their algorithm is a clever combination of a number of previously known techniques with a new reduction and a new algorithm for the Orthogonal Vecto…

Report: Cowboys interested in two former Pro Bowl RBs
The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly eyeing two veteran options to fill their running back void. One of them is quite the familiar face. The Cowboys are considering former Pro Bowlers Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook in free agency, according to Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken. Elliott is no stranger among Cowboys fans after having led the team in rushing yards from 2016 to 2021. He was usurped by Tony Pollard as the Cowboys’ top rusher in 2022. Pollard has since signed a long-term deal wi…

Time for your daily dose of #RustLang complaints. Yep, the ecosystem is doing great.
#UV depends on tokio-tar library. Tokio-tar is broken on #PowerPC, doesn't have a bug tracker (!) and seems to be quite dead, with a bunch of PRs ignored since 2022 (last activity mid-2023). Nevertheless, I've filed a PR to fix PowerPC, with little hope that it'll be merged, released and that we could get UV working on PowerPC.
On top of that, it seems that tokio-tar was forked in early 2021 from async-tar. It doesn't seem to have synced the few commits from 2021, and async-tar is dead since late 2021. But at least it has a bug tracker to keep track of how dead it is.
Rewriting stuff in Rust is great. Maintaining it afterwards for the sake of reverse dependencies isn't.

The Dallas Cowboys have firmly stood by quarterback Dak Prescott and head coach Mike McCarthy for another season following last year’s playoff disappointment against the Green Bay Packers. However, if their fortunes don’t improve, both Prescott and McCarthy could see their time in Dallas come to an end. Prescott is coming off a stellar season, arguably the best of his career, and he’s entering the final year of his 4-year, $160 million extension signed in 2021. Despite speculation about h…
