En 2018, un verdict belge semblait enfin mettre fin Š une affaire vieille de 20 ans.
En 2025, certaines indemnisations sont toujours en suspens.
Pendant ce temps, en France, l’enquête OKC/Spatz — rouverte officiellement en 2021 — n’a toujours pas abouti.

I watched E.T. (1982) recently. I remember seeing it as a kid but couldn't remember much except "phone home". I didn't like the child actors to be honest but the rubber puppet worked so well when it was lying on its "death bed" 😭
Surprised by the swear words they used though. Shit, dick....🫢 I wanted to see what the neighbourhood looks like today as it was a newly built suburbia in 1982. Turns out, somebody already did the research!

JaParaPat: A Large-Scale Japanese-English Parallel Patent Application Corpus
We constructed JaParaPat (Japanese-English Parallel Patent Application Corpus), a bilingual corpus of more than 300 million Japanese-English sentence pairs from patent applications published in Japan and the United States from 2000 to 2021. We obtained the publication of unexamined patent applications from the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). We also obtained patent family information from the DOCDB, that is a bibliographic database maintained…

On a practical level, I think the UK should immediately revert to the pre-2021 proscription of Hamas (between 2001 and 2021 a distinction was made between militant operations and civil administration).
(Separately I also think that Palestine Action should be de-proscribed until the government is prepared to make a public case.)

Finanzamt will ne Steuererklärung für den Verein den ich liquidiere für 2021. Der Verein ist seit 2023 formell abgewickelt. Es existiert weder Büro noch eMail etc. Natürlich muss ich das mit ELSTER machen. Beantrage also neues Zertifikat mit der Steuernummer des Vereins. Sie fragen nur nach meiner eMail und schicken mir jetzt einen Brief ... da bin ich ja mal gespannt wo der wohl hingeht. Ich würde ja wetten an die nicht mehr existierende Adresse des Vereins.

👋 Hello! I’m Łukasz. Thirty-something, living in Warsaw, Poland. On fedi since 2021 or so. Right now, I'm merging my two accounts into one and giving this profile a fresh new start.
I live a few parallel lives.
Most of the time I’m a web developer. I work with TypeScript, React and all that jazz. But I still enjoy static site generators and good ol’ HTML/CSS.
In another life, I’m a documentary photographer and photojournalist. I’m interested in activism, art and culture, politics, and pretty much anything interesting happening on city streets. A big part of my photography journey involves documenting protests and demonstrations in Poland, especially those related to human rights and social issues. I’m also drawn to street art, particularly when it carries strong messages.
I occasionally blog and translate. Many years ago I wrote two books about WordPress. However, these days I’m more likely to go outside and touch grass than spend even more time in front of a screen.
Outside of that, expect me to post about mental health and politics. I promise to use CWs when appropriate.
I post in both English and Polish, depending on the topic.
Aaaand that’s it. Nice to meet you! ☺️

Effective source for second-order self-force calculations: quasicircular orbits in Schwarzschild spacetime

Effective source for second-order self-force calculations: quasicircular orbits in Schwarzschild spacetime
Recent years have seen the first production of "post-adiabatic" gravitational-waveform models based on second-order gravitational self-force theory. These models rely on calculations of an effective source in the perturbative second-order Einstein equation. Here, for the first time, we detail the calculation of the effective source in a Schwarzschild background, which underlies the second-order self-force results in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 151102 (2021); ibid. 128, 231101 (2022); ibid. 130, 2414…

Efficient Polynomial Identity Testing Over Nonassociative Algebras
We design the first efficient polynomial identity testing algorithms over the nonassociative polynomial algebra. In particular, multiplication among the formal variables is commutative but it is not associative. This complements the strong lower bound results obtained over this algebra by Hrubeš, Yehudayoff, and Wigderson (2010) and Fijalkow, Lagarde, Ohlmann, and Serre (2021) from the identity testing perspective. Our main results are the following: (1) We construct nonassociative algebras …

Big news for the energy transition!
And a nice little 'told you so' moment for yours truly :)
In the first half of this year, renewables produced more electricity globally than coal, for the first time.
And 2025 is the date I predicted for this to happen, back in 2016, in a blog post for Ecofys! The score was 23%-40% at the time, with most of the renewables share still coming from hydro, and the prediction was less than obvious.

Moment-SOS hierarchies for arrow-type polynomial matrix inequalities with applications to structural optimization

Moment-SOS hierarchies for arrow-type polynomial matrix inequalities with applications to structural optimization
The Arrow Decomposition (AD) technique, initially introduced in [Mathematical Programming 190(1-2) (2021), pp 105-134], demonstrated superior scalability over the classical chordal decomposition in the context of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) if the matrix in question satisfied suitable assumptions. The primary objective of this paper is to extend the AD method to address Polynomial Optimization Problems (POPs) involving large-scale Polynomial Matrix Inequalities (PMIs), with the solution f…

A note on Wang's conjecture for harmonic functions with nonlinear boundary condition
We obtain some Liouville type theorems for positive harmonic functions on compact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary and partially verifies Wang's conjecture (J. Geom. Anal. 31 (2021)). For the specific manifold $\mathbb{B}^n$, we present a new proof of this conjecture, which has been resolved by Gu-Li (Math. Ann. 391 (2025)). Our proof is based on a general principle of applying the P-function method to such uniqueness results. As a further app…

🇵🇱 Cześć! Jestem Łukasz. Trójka z przodu. Warszawa. Na fedi mniej-więcej od 2021 r. Łączę dwa konta w jedno i od tej pory będzie tu więcej polskojęzycznych postów (a jeśli obserwowałxś mnie na polskojęzycznym koncie, to dostaniesz więcej treści po angielsku 😄).
Mam kilka równoległych żyć.
Przez większość czasu buduję rzeczy w internetach, głównie z użyciem TypeScriptu, Reacta i całej reszty tego jazzu. Ciągle jednak lubię generatory stron statycznych i stary dobry HTML/CSS.
W innym życiu jestem fotografem-dokumentalistą i fotoreporterem. Interesuje mnie aktywizm, sztuka, kultura, polityka oraz wszystko, co jest ciekawe, a dzieje się na ulicach miast. Dużo uwagi poświęcam protestom i demonstracjom w Polsce, zwłaszcza dotyczącym praw człowieka i kwestii społecznych. Interesuje mnie też sztuka uliczna, zwłaszcza taka, która niesie ze sobą mocne komunikaty.
Zdarza mi się blogować i tłumaczyć teksty. Wiele lat temu napisałem dwie książki o WordPressie. Obecnie jednak wolę gdzieś wyjść niż spędzać jeszcze więcej czasu przed ekranem.
Okazjonalnie zdarza mi się postować o zdrowiu psychicznym i polityce. Staram się używać CW kiedy to możliwe.
Postuję po polsku i angielsku w zależności od tematu.
No i... chyba tyle. Miło Cię widzieć!
