Loppuun pelatut ravihevoset | MOT
Hevosten terveysongelmien esiin nostaminen voi johtaa jopa tappouhkaukseen. MOT tutkii suomalaista ravimaailmaa, jossa liikkuu huippunopeuteen trimmattujen eläinten lisäksi vuosittain yli 200 miljoonaa vedonlyöjien rahaa.

Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

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.

DRC finally moves to protect African gray parrots from unsustainable trade
LUBUMBASHI, DRC — African gray parrot populations in the central and northern parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo are declining. Data collected by patrols carried out by the Lukuru Foundation in Lomami Luidjo, Maniema province, show a worrying decline of 36% in the numbers of Psittacus erithacus observed between 2016 and 2021. In August […]

Multiparty equality in the local broadcast model

Multiparty equality in the local broadcast model
In this paper we consider the multiparty equality problem in graphs, where every vertex of a graph $G$ is given an input, and the goal of the vertices is to decide whether all inputs are equal. We study this problem in the local broadcast model, where a message sent by a vertex is received by all its neighbors and the total cost of a protocol is the sum of the lengths of the messages sent by the vertices. This setting was studied by Khan and Vaidya, who gave in 2021 a protocol achieving a 4-app…

Estimates of fractional Hausdorff operators on weighted Lebesgue and Hardy spaces
In this article, we obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness of fractional Hausdorff operators $h_{Φ,β}$ on weighted Lebesgue spaces $(0\leqβ<1)$, which are fractional variants of Bandaliev-Safarova [Hacet. J. Math. Stat., 2021, 50, 1334-1346]; it is found that a new constraint for $β$ should be added and it holds automatically for non-fractional variants in [HJMS, 2021] $(β=0)$. Then, we further obatin the boundedness of fractional Hausdorff operators $h_{Φ,β}…

Multiwavelength study of Galactic PeVatron LHAASO J0341 5258

Multiwavelength study of Galactic PeVatron LHAASO J0341+5258
Galactic PeVatrons are astrophysical sources accelerating particles up to a few PeV (~10$^{15}$ eV). The primary method to identify both electron and proton PeVatrons is the observation of $γ$-ray radiation at ultra-high energies (UHE; E$>$100 TeV). In 2021, LHAASO detected 14 steady $γ$-ray sources with photon energies above 100 TeV and up to 1.4 PeV. Most of these sources can be plausibly associated with objects such as supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and stellar clusters. However,…

Vaccinating Now or Vaccinating Later: Separating Pull-Forward and Net Effects Using a Dynamic Regression Discontinuity Design
We study the impact of a novel COVID-19 vaccine mandate, targeting graduating high-school students, on first vaccine uptake. In 2021, the State Government of Western Australia (WA) required attendees at "Leavers" -- a large-scale state-supported graduation party held annually in November in a WA regional town -- to be vaccinated. Using administrative data that link date-of-birth (at the month level), school attendance, and first-dose vaccination records, we exploit the strict school-age laws in…
