Who is realistically going to carry around a second digital camera with them? Of course cameras are better than smartphones, but the best camera is the one you have with you at the moment.
I've taken thousands of photos that I never would have thanks to my iphone.

»Schockiert und traurig«: Kanadisches Filmfest streicht Doku über Hamas-Massaker – aus Sorge um Bildrechte der Terroristen
Auf dem Toronto Film Festival sollte eine Doku über den Anschlag auf Israel vom 7. Oktober 2023 gezeigt werden. Der Film enthält Aufnahmen von Terroristen, die ihre Gräueltaten selbst filmten. Nun wird es keine Vorführung geben, angeblich wegen unklarer Rechte an den Hamas-Aufnahmen.

UN-Atombehörde: AKW Saporischschja vom Netz getrennt
Das von Russland besetzte ukrainische Atomkraftwerk Saporischschja hat der Internationalen Atomenergiebehörde (IAEA) zufolge die externe Stromversorgung verloren. Die Anlage werde nun über Notstrom-Dieselgeneratoren versorgt, teilte die IAEA mit.
Es sei das neunte Mal während des Krieges und das erste Mal seit Ende 2023, dass die Anlage vom Netz getrennt worden sei. Der uk…

The origin of the coherent radio flash potentially associated with GRB 201006A
Rowlinson et al. 2023 recently claimed the detection of a coherent radio flash 76.6 minutes after a short gamma-ray burst. They proposed that the radio emission may be associated with a long-lived neutron star engine. We show through theoretical and observational arguments that the coherent radio emission, if real and indeed associated with GRB 201006A and at the estimated redshift, is unlikely to be due to the collapse of the neutron star, ruling out a blitzar-like mechanism. Instead, we show …

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…

The Monte Carlo Computational Summit -- October 25 & 26, 2023 -- Notre Dame, Indiana, USA
The Monte Carlo Computational Summit was held on the campus of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, USA on 25--26 October 2023. The goals of the summit were to discuss algorithmic and software alterations required for successfully porting respective code bases to exascale-class computing hardware, compare software engineering techniques used by various code teams, and consider the adoption of industry-standard benchmark problems to better facilitate code-to-code performance comp…
