#NowPlaying an incredible EP I haven't mentioned here surprisingly, I bought this a while back, this was from 2021. I've talked about Gorgeous Jefe here before, one of my favorite rappers from Phoenix here- on this one as Malick McFly before he changed his name to Jefe. I talk to Jefe here and there, he told me this EP is FULLY freestyle, NOTHING written down, just a bunch of talented Arizona ra…

Gravitational Recoil and Suppression of Super Massive Black Hole Seeds in the Early Universe
We investigate the impact of gravitational-wave (GW) recoil on the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early Universe. Forming ~10^9 Msun SMBHs by z ~ 6 is challenging and may require hierarchical mergers of smaller seed black holes. We extend a semi-analytic seed model (Sassano et al. 2021) by explicitly incorporating GW recoil physics. Our model includes: (1) recoil velocity formulae calibrated to numerical relativity for spinning, unequal-mass BH binaries (Campanelli et al. 200…

J’ai découvert Hugues Micol Š travers « Agughia », une bande dessinée d’anticipation parue chez Dargaud en 2021. Le dessin de Hugues Micol et son scénario m’avaient rendu cette lecture agréable et marquante, illustrant avec un certain talent nos excès et leur impact sur notre société et notre planète.

BTW - that CBC article used a lot of numbers from this report, which because it's all numbers is awesome. Some tidbits:
- The number of farms over 3,500 acres has nearly doubled in 20 years.
- 41.3% of Canadian farmland is rented.
- From 1971 to 2021, the farm population declined by 62.2%, from 1 in 14 Canadians to 1 in 61.
- Farm debt has more than doubled in the last 20 years, from $43B in 2002 to $138.8B in 2022. That is currently 10x the size of net farm income.
- In 2021, 96,043 tonnes of pesticides were sold for agricultural use – more than three times the amount sold in 1991.

Tutorial: $φ$-Transductions in OpenFst via the Gallic Semiring
OpenFst, a popular finite-state transducer library, supports $φ$-transitions but, due to an implementation constraint, they cannot be used with transducers in a straightforward way. In this short tutorial, we describe how one can use other functionality provided by OpenFst (namely, the Gallic semiring) to correctly implement $φ$-transductions and demonstrate it by implementing the MaxMatch (WordPiece) tokenization algorithm (Devlin et al., 2019; Song et al., 2021). Accompanying self-contain…

Run 2/3 measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment by the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab
The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab seeks to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly, $a_μ=(g-2)/2$, with a final target precision of 0.14 parts-per-million (ppm). The experiment's initial result, published in 2021 using Run 1 data from 2018, confirmed the previous measurement at Brookhaven National Laboratory with a comparable sensitivity of 0.46 ppm. In 2023, a new result based on Run 2 and Run 3 data, collected in 2019 and 2020, was released. These datasets contain four times the data from…

ECFA Higgs, electroweak, and top Factory Study
The ECFA Higgs, electroweak, and top Factory Study ran between 2021 and 2025 as a broad effort across the experimental and theoretical particle physics communities, bringing together participants from many different proposed future collider projects. Activities across three main working groups advanced the joint development of tools and analysis techniques, fostered new considerations of detector design and optimisation, and led to a new set of studies resulting in improved projected sensitivit…
