Can Quantum Physics Help Fight Climate Change? A Thematic Analysis of Press Release Narratives
The climate crisis demands innovative solutions and quantum technologies are considered by some a potential solution (Berger et al., 2021; Calvin et al., 2023). The United Nations declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (United Nations, 2024), focusing on applications for quantum technologies. Quantum technologies, leveraging quantum mechanics, offer unprecedented computational power (Ajagekar & You, 2022) and sensitivity (Schleich et al., 2016) that could revolut…

BBC bias on Israel
From Jonathan Cook. (Substack link, sorry.)
"In a confrontation with BBC news chief Richard Burgess, journalist Peter Oborne sets out six ways the state broadcaster has wilfully misled audiences on Israel's destruction of Gaza"
For example,
"... the distinguished Israeli historian Avi Shlaim lives in the UK and teaches at Oxford University. ... Shlaim is both knowledgeable about the history of Israeli colonisation of Palestine and truly independent. He is in a position to dispassionately provide the context BBC audiences need to make judgments about what is going on and who is responsible for it.
"And yet extraordinarily, Shlaim has never been invited on by the BBC. ... He is one of the prominent Israelis we are never allowed to hear from, because they are likely to make more credible and mainstream a narrative the BBC wishes to present as fringe, loopy and antisemitic."
Plus some media analysis stats such as:
"The BBC mentioned “occupation” – the essential context for understanding the relationship between Israel and Palestinians – only 14 times in news articles when providing context to the events of 7 October 2023. That amounted to 0.3% of articles. Additional context – decades of Israeli apartheid rule and Israel’s 17-year blockade of Gaza — were entirely missing from the coverage."

According to the TidBITS article “A Roundup of Vertical Tab Support in Mac Web Browsers” <https://tidbits.com/2023/06/05/a-roundup-of-vertical-tab-support-in-mac-web-browsers/>, Safari supports vertical tabs since version 16.
I did not know it!
I don’t seem to be able to get the Safari vertical tabs to work though.
I can see the list of tabs in the Sidebar.
I also have the tabs displays horizontally at the top of the window (in both Separate or Compact mode).
I was expecting no tabs at the top when using vertical tabs. Is that not what you’d expect when thinking about vertical tabs?

Ich empfehle gerne noch mal Thomas Hettches „Sinkende Sterne“ von 2023. Neben aller anderen Grossartigkeit zeigt er sehr treffend, was im Wallis passiert, wenn es sich durch Naturgewalt teilt — erst Verkehrswege, dann Gesellschaft. Quasi an den immer noch vorhandenen „natürlichen“ Bruchstellen. In anderen Gegenden sicher ähnlich möglich, aber das ist schon sehr Wallis, meinem Empfinden nach

Overall, 77% of Americans said they did not feel “completely financially secure,”
and 32% said they did not think they ever would.
Based on the latest census data, the median U.S. household income in 2023 was roughly $80,000,
but that is the midpoint on incomes, meaning half of U.S. households made even less.

Linguist Noam Chomsky is interviewed by Common Dreams writer C.J. Polychroniou on the subject of ChatGPT in this May 2023 piece. Chomsky's stance on LLMs is that as long as we're not able to atomically understand what goes on in the statistical black box that currently is an LLM, linguists won't be able to benefit from being able to see whether it learns language like a human does, or not.

Installation and performance of the 3rd Veto plane at the SND@LHC detector
During 2022/2023 the optimal inefficiency of the Veto system of the SND@LHC detector was measured to be $(7.8\pm2.8)\times10^{-8}$. To reduce this inefficiency, a third Veto plane was installed during the 2023-2024 Year End Technical Stop. In addition, the Veto system was lowered to cover the target fully, thereby increasing acceptance. This paper describes how the inefficiency of the Veto system was reduced from $7.8\times10^{-8}$ with an acceptance of about $64\%$ of the target area in 2022-2…

Energy Spectra of Secondary Particles Induced by Solar Energetic Proton Events and Magnetospheric Effects
We investigate the energy spectra of secondary cosmic ray particles associated with two distinct solar events: the magnetospheric effect (ME) of 5 November 2023 and ground-level enhancement (GLE 74) of 11 May 2024. Using data from the SEVAN and Neutron Monitor networks and energy release histograms from particle spectrometers, we reconstruct spectra and identify key differences between ME and GLE. CORSIKA-based simulations reveal that MEs are caused by galactic protons below geomagnetic cutoff …

Establishment of global phase coherence in a highly disordered fractal MgO/MgB2 nanocomposite: Roles of interface, morphology and defect
Recently, we have reported that a highly disordered fractal MgO/MgB2 nanocomposite exhibits bulk-like superconducting properties with isotropic pinning, showing an excellent phase-coherent capability irrespective of the low volume fraction (~30 vol. %) of MgB2 [Uchino et al., Phys. Rev. B 101, 035146 (2020); Teramachi et al,, Phys. Rev. B 108, 155146 (2023)]. Hence, this nanocomposite provides a useful experimental system to investigate the relationship between the structural disorder and the e…
