Doubly Discordant SH0ES NGC4258 Cepheid Relations (HVI), and Impactful Extinction Laws
S$H_0$ES 2016-2022 $HVI$ data for classical Cepheids in the keystone galaxy NGC4258 yield doubly discordant Wesenheit Leavitt functions:~$ΔW_{0,H-VI} = -0.13\pm0^{m}.02$ ($-0^{m}.17$ unweighted) and that is paired with a previously noted $ΔW_{0,I-VI}\simeq-0^{m}.3$, which in concert with complimentary evidence suggest the 2016 S$H_0$ES NGC4258-anchored $H_0 \pm σ_{H_0}$ warrants scrutiny (i.e., $σ_{H_0}/{H_0}\gtrsim 6$\%). Cepheid distance uncertainties are further exacerbated by extinction…

Teaching with AI: A Systematic Review of Chatbots, Generative Tools, and Tutoring Systems in Programming Education
This review examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) agents in programming education, focusing on how these tools are being integrated into educational practice and their impact on student learning outcomes. An analysis of fifty-eight peer-reviewed studies published between 2022 and 2025 identified three primary categories of AI agents: chatbots, generative AI (GenAI), and intelligent tutoring systems (ITS), with GenAI being the most frequently studied. The primary instructional object…

The takeaway sentence here: “[T]wo-thirds of new data centers built or in development [in the US] since 2022 are in places already gripped by high levels of water stress.”
This is particularly pertinent here in #Australia, where already, once-plentiful artesian water’s dwindling, nitrogen- and phosphorus-rich runoff chokes waterways with algae and destroys coral reefs, and

Multiwavelength continuum, emission line and BAL variability with prominent PV absorption in the X-ray-weakest quasar PG0043+039
PG0043+039 has been identified as an extremely X-ray-weak quasar and as a peculiar broad-absorption-line quasar based on UV HST spectra. We took simultaneous deep X-ray observations of PG0043+039 with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR, UV spectra with the HST, and optical spectra with the HET telescope in 2022. PG0043+039 was an extreme low-X-ray-luminosity quasar in 2022. This AGN showed an extreme steep alpha_oX value of -2.47. The X-ray luminosity was a factor of 3.4 higher in the meantime in 2013. The …

General Staff: Russia has lost 1,100,600 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022: https://benborges.xyz/2025/09/20/general-staff-russia-has-lost.html

I'm curious - what San Francisco media has covered this? Admittedly something I have not been looking for. But a quick search doesn't find many news articles - but it appears to be a nationwide problem. Sure, FDA has published their alert (2022) but that's not a great tool to reach people who need to know about risks.
The FDA has warned against this ‘natural remedy’ for joint pain. San Francisco immigrants still trust it

Climate change: across time and frequencies

Climate change: across time and frequencies
We use continuous wavelet tools to characterize the dynamics of climate change across time and frequencies. This approach allows us to capture the changing patterns in the relationship between global mean temperature anomalies and climate forcings. Using historical data from 1850 to 2022, we find that greenhouse gases, and CO$_2$ in particular, play a significant role in driving the very low frequency trending behaviour in temperatures, even after controlling for the effects of natural forcings…
