I really disliked Star Wars E8 #TheLastJedi. I thought it wasn't just offensive to established canon of decades of #StarWars, it was obnoxiously derivative & just laden with bad storytelling.
I mean, when one's suspension of disbelief is repeatedly broken, that's a seriou…

Seit wir #TheLastOfUs geschaut haben, bin ich dem #Zombie-Genre wieder etwas nähergekommen. Oder vielleicht eher dem postapokalyptischen Genre mit Zombies gewürzt.
Als ich bei #DTRPG „ZombHell: Minimal…

Comparative Evaluation of Acoustic Feature Extraction Tools for Clinical Speech Analysis
This study compares three acoustic feature extraction toolkits (OpenSMILE, Praat, and Librosa) applied to clinical speech data from individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) and healthy controls (HC). By standardizing extraction parameters across the toolkits, we analyzed speech samples from 77 SSD and 87 HC participants and found significant toolkit-dependent variations. While F0 percentiles showed high cross-toolkit correlation (r=0.962 to 0.999), measures like F0 standard devia…

NepTrain and NepTrainKit: Automated Active Learning and Visualization Toolkit for Neuroevolution Potentials
As a machine-learned potential, the neuroevolution potential (NEP) method features exceptional computational efficiency and has been successfully applied in materials science. Constructing high-quality training datasets is crucial for developing accurate NEP models. However, the preparation and screening of NEP training datasets remain a bottleneck for broader applications due to their time-consuming, labor-intensive, and resource-intensive nature. In this work, we have developed NepTrain and N…

Tilsotua: Reproducing Slitmask Sky Positions for use with the LRIS Multislit Archive
We present tilsotua, a code that calculates sky positions of the slits from Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrograph (LRIS) slitmasks used in multislit observations. Raw data for the Keck/LRIS spectrograph does not include information about the sky positions of the slitmask targets, making it difficult to use beyond the scope of the original programs. tilsotua translates slit coordinates from the mask design files in the mask milling machine frame to sky coordinates. tilsotua also shifts the origina…

Ming Li Hui, who goes by the name of “Carol,” was recently arrested and now faces potential deportation.
This has shocked and dismayed many of the town’s residents,
even though the area went overwhelmingly for Trump.
Carol talked to us straight from jail, where she is awaiting her fate.
At times the conversation was difficult:
She broke down in tears about her ordeal,
was emotionally overwhelmed at the support she’s received from the Trump-backing town,…

Trump Arrest of Immigrant Triggers Shock and Regret in Small MAGA Town
An immigrant’s pending deportation has stunned Trump-supporting Missouri locals who have come to know and love her. Speaking to us on our podcast straight from jail, she makes a tearful, wrenching appeal.

I don't fully get the instinct to reject and attack the Abundance book. If you think it's too small then it seems easy to "yes and" with your own ideas.
At one point they call the book a conspiracy?
It seems to me Ezra talked with people trying to install solar and got one answer. Aaron says when he talked to similar people he got a different one. that is an interesting topic to look more into!

Technisch ist es kein großes Problem, ein großes Frachtschiff fernzusteuern, Tests sind aber nötig. Wenn alles klappt, hätte die Branche eine Sorge weniger.
