For the past 15 years, I've observed San Francisco leaders talk about how important climate action is - but not actually do a lot. There now a petition asking the Mayor to take meaningful action at

Mayor Lurie: Prioritize Climate Action Plan goals as you restructure city government
San Francisco approved a detailed and comprehensive Climate Action Plan in 2021 with a top-line goal of net-zero GHG emissions by 2040. Some progress towards this goal has been made since then, including general fund budget money awarded over the last few years to the SF Environment Department, for the first time ever. But we are now in danger of going backwards in our fight to mitigate climate change. Mayor Lurie and the Board of Supervisors recently approved a 2-year budget that revokes...

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!

Die letzte Kommunalwahl in NRW war 2020, damals stand das Thema Klima ganz oben auf der Agenda. Jetzt geht es um Wirtschaft, Sicherheit, Migration. Klimaschutz ist kaum ein Thema mehr. Und das in einem der Bundesländer der Flutkatastrophe im Ahrtal 2021. Ob der Klimawandel weiß, dass er sich jetzt mal zurückhalten soll, weil er kein Trendthema mehr ist?

Multi-spacecraft Measurements of the Evolving Geometry of the Solar Alfvén Surface Over Half a Solar Cycle
The geometry of a star's Alfvén surface determines stellar angular momentum loss, separates a causally distinct 'corona' and stellar wind, and potentially affects exoplanetary habitability. The solar Alfvén surface is the only such structure that is directly measurable and since 2021, has been routinely measured in situ by NASA's Parker Solar Probe (Parker). We use these unique measurements in concert with Solar Orbiter and L1 in situ data spanning the first half of the Solar Cycle 25 in time…

Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction
Is module-lattice reduction better than unstructured lattice reduction? This question was highlighted as 'Q8' in the Kyber NIST standardization submission (Avanzi et al., 2021), as potentially affecting the concrete security of Kyber and other module-lattice-based schemes. Foundational works on module-lattice reduction (Lee, Pellet-Mary, Stehlé, and Wallet, ASIACRYPT 2019; Mukherjee and Stephens-Davidowitz, CRYPTO 2020) confirmed the existence of such module variants of LLL and block-reduction…

The HST Ultraviolet Spectrum of V723 Mon: Additional Evidence of a Stellar Companion
V723 Mon is a high mass function (f=1.7Msun) single lined spectroscopic binary with a red giant primary that Jayasinghe et al. (2021) suggested had a black hole as its massive companion. Unfortunately, el-Badry et al. (2022) demonstrated that it had a hotter stellar companion whose detectability in optical spectra was difficult due to its rapid rotation. Here we confirm the presence of the stellar companion with a Hubble Space Telescope STIS ultraviolet spectrum.

Klimageräte: Warum die Stiftung Warentest keine Monoblöcke mehr testet – ich aber trotzdem überlege, mir einen zu besorgen.
Seit 2021 testet die Stiftung Warentest keine Monoblöcke mehr. Grund: sie seien zu ineffizient, bräuchten für dieselbe Kühlleistung sieben mal mehr Strom als Splitgeräte.
Warum ich trotzdem mit einem Monoblock liebäugle?
