Amazon’s (AMZN) Carbon Emissions Climbed 6% in 2024 on Data Center Buildout
Amazon.com Inc.’s carbon emissions rose for the first time in three years in 2024, driven by data center construction and fuel consumption by its delivery providers.

As much as I’d love to believe that the 2024 election results were the result of covert ballot tampering, I land in @…’s camp here. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and the evidence here isn’t extraordinary. It isn’t even passing.
Sorry. I’d love to believe it. But I don’t.

And yes, please, please, please view anyone raising money to expose some theoretical 2024 election tampering as a Steinesque grifter. They are conning you. And they are more likely than not conning you to fund some right-wing benefactor holding their puppet strings — or at best they’re just an old-fashioned charlatan. Ignore.

Brazil generates 88% of power from renewables in 2024
Brazil’s electricity mix was 88% renewable in 2024, with wind and solar supplying about 24% of total demand, according to new data from state-owned energy agency Empresa de Pesquisa Energetica (EPE).

It's amazing to me that people continue to look back at 2024 and angrily blame muslims,non-voters, & leftists for the overwhelming win by Trump. It must be nice to be able to completely ignore reality and learn nothing.

As everyone, the #FSF infrastructure is suffering because of 'AI' crawlers:
«Our infrastructure has been under attack since August 2024. Large Language Model (LLM) web crawlers have been a significant source of the attacks»
«the server behind the Free Software Directory, has been under attack since June 18. This likely is an LLM scraper designed to specifically target Media Wiki sites with a botnet. This attack is very active and now partially mitigated.»

Search for heavy neutral leptons in $π^+$ decays to positrons
A search for heavy neutral lepton ($N$) production in $π^+\to e^+ N$ in-flight decays using data collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2017-2024 is reported. Upper limits for the extended neutrino mixing matrix element $|U_{e4}|^2$ are established at the level of $10^{-8}$ for heavy neutral leptons with mass in the range 95-126 $MeV/c^2$ and lifetime exceeding 50 ns.

100,000 Crab giant pulses at 215 MHz detected with an SKA-Low prototype station
We report detection and analysis of the largest low-frequency (200 - 231.25 MHz) sample of Crab giant pulses (GPs) reported in the literature. In total about 95000 GPs were detected. The observations were performed in 2024/2025 with the EDA2, a prototype station of the SKA-Low telescope. The fluence distribution of GPs in the entire sample is very well characterised with a single power law (no flattening at higher fluences) N(F) $\propto$ F$^α$, where $α= -3.17\pm0.02$ for all GPs, and $α_{M…

Asymptotic formula for the sum of a prime and a square-full number in intervals shorter than $X^{1/2}$
Let $R(N)$ be the number of representations of $N$ as a sum of a prime and a square-full number weighted with logarithmic function. In $2024$, the author and Y. Suzuki obtained an asymptotic formula for the sum of $R(N)$ over positive integers $N$ in a short interval ($X$, $X+H$] for $X^{\frac{1}{2}+\varepsilon} \le H < X^{1-\varepsilon}$. In this article, we improve the range of $H$, that is, we prove the same asymptotic formula for $X^{\frac{32-4\sqrt{15}}{49}+\varepsilon} \le H \le X^{1- \va…

A Statistical Analysis of Magnetic Parameters in Solar Source Regions of Halo-CMEs with and without SEP events
Large SEPs can cause adverse space weather hazard to humans technology and such events are especially associated with halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs). But in turn, a significant portion of halo-CMEs are not associated with large SEPs. The objective of this study is to gain an understanding of the source region distinctions between halo-CMEs in SEP and No-SEP events. Among the 176 halo-CMEs observed from 2010-2024, we screen out 45 large SEP events and 131 No-SEP events from this dataset. It …

Climatology of Mars Topside Ionosphere during Solar Cycles 24 and 25 using MAVEN Dataset of 2015-2024
The Mars ambient space environment evolves with the varying solar activity. Understanding the Martian space environment, particularly the topside ionosphere across different phases of Solar Cycles (SC) 24 \& 25 remains a key research gap in planetary ionospheric science. In this study, we utilized the NASA Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission data (150-500 km) from Martian years 32-38 (2015-2024) during solar quiet-time. This study investigated the behavior of topside ionosphe…

Intellectual Property Rights and Entrepreneurship in the NFT Ecosystem: Legal Frameworks, Business Models, and Innovation Opportunities
Non Fungible Tokens have changed digital ownership and how creators earn money. Between 2021 and 2024, the market value exceeded 40 billion. However, the fast growth of the NFT ecosystem has revealed serious issues in managing intellectual property rights. There is a lot of confusion about the difference between owning an NFT and owning the copyright for the underlying content. This research looks at the gap between traditional copyright laws and blockchain-based transactions. We use a mixed me…

Unveiling the Complex Jet Dynamics in the Blazar 2021+317 through Multi-Epoch VLBI Observations
We present an investigation of the compact structure of the AGN 2021+317 based on multi-epoch Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations at 15, 22, and 43 GHz in the period from 2013 through 2024. The VLBI images show a core-jet structure extended to the south, with two stationary components in the northern region, one of which likely to be the core of the source. We also detected two new moving jet components (S4 and S5) in the observations of 2021. Based on these observational find…

Lunar Time Ephemeris LTE440: User Manual
We present the numerical lunar time ephemeris LTE440 based on the definition of Lunar Coordinate Time (TCL) given by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in IAU 2024 Resolution II. LTE440 can be used to obtain the numerical transformation between TCL and Solar System Barycentric Dynamical Time (TCL-TDB) or Solar System Barycentric Coordinate Time (TCL-TCB). The theoretical model, numerical method, and performance of LTE440 are discussed. The secular drifts between TCL and TDB and between …

Benchmark-Neutral Risk-Minimization for insurance products and nonreplicable claims
In this paper we study the pricing and hedging of nonreplicable contingent claims, such as long-term insurance contracts like variable annuities. Our approach is based on the benchmark-neutral pricing framework of Platen (2024), which differs from the classical benchmark approach by using the stock growth optimal portfolio as the numéraire. In typical settings, this choice leads to an equivalent martingale measure, the benchmark-neutral measure. The resulting prices can be significantly lower …
