Discovery and Localization of the Swift-Observed FRB 20241228A in a Star-forming Host Galaxy
On 2024 December 28, CHIME/FRB detected the thus-far non-repeating FRB 20241228A with a real-time signal-to-noise ratio of $>50$. Approximately 112~s later, the X-ray Telescope onboard the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory was on source, the fastest follow-up to-date of a non-repeating FRB (Tohuvavohu et al. in prep.). Using CHIME/FRB and two of the three CHIME/FRB Outriggers, we obtained a Very Long Baseline Interferometry localization for FRB 20241228A with a 1$σ$ confidence ellipse of 11$^{\pr…

Dynamics of Subsurface Flows in Solar Active Regions During the May 2024 Storm
In May 2024, the Sun exhibited intense magnetic activity, marked by numerous high-intensity flares resulting from the interaction and merging of NOAA ARs 13664 and 13668 in the southern hemisphere and AR 13663 in the northern hemisphere. Notably, AR 13664 displayed an extended lifetime, remaining visible after a full solar rotation and continuing to produce significant flaring activity. In this study, we investigate the evolution of sub-photospheric plasma flows associated with these ARs during…

Surgeons Awareness, Expectations, and Involvement with Artificial Intelligence: a Survey Pre and Post the GPT Era
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming medicine, with generative AI models like ChatGPT reshaping perceptions of its potential. This study examines surgeons' awareness, expectations, and involvement with AI in surgery through comparative surveys conducted in 2021 and 2024. Two cross-sectional surveys were distributed globally in 2021 and 2024, the first before an IRCAD webinar and the second during the annual EAES meeting. The surveys assessed demographics, AI awareness, expectations, inv…

Who is using AI to code? Global diffusion and impact of generative AI
Generative coding tools promise big productivity gains, but uneven uptake could widen skill and income gaps. We train a neural classifier to spot AI-generated Python functions in 80 million GitHub commits (2018-2024) by 200,000 developers and track how fast--and where--these tools take hold. By December 2024, AI wrote an estimated 30.1% of Python functions from U.S. contributors, versus 24.3% in Germany, 23.2% in France, 21.6% in India, 15.4% in Russia and 11.7% in China. Newer GitHub users use…

Good Morning #Canada
It's #FridayThe13th, which is a lucky day for me as 13 is my favourite number. 13th place was also Canada’s rank in the 2024 Happiest Country study, but unfortunately, we fell to 18th place in 2025. IMO, having #PeePee trash Canada and the government incessantly for the past few years has contributed to that drop. We also have a lot of work to do to match the happy Nordic countries in social and economic support.

Comparing observations of the closely located JUICE and STEREO-A spacecraft during the widespread solar energetic particle event of 2024 May 13
JUICE was launched in April 2023, and it is now in its cruise phase to Jupiter, where it is scheduled to arrive in July 2031. JUICE carries a radiation monitor, namely the RADiation hard Electron Monitor (RADEM) to measure protons, electrons, and ions, detecting particles coming mainly from the anti-Sun direction. On 2024 May 13, a large solar energetic particle (SEP) event took place in association with an eruption close to the western limb of the Sun as seen from Earth. Providentially, at tha…

A Bayesian analysis of home advantage in professional squash
We estimate the effect of playing in one's home country in professional squash using a Bayesian hierarchical model applied to men's and women's Professional Squash Association matches from 2018-2024. The model incorporates players' world rankings and whether they are competing in their home country. Using margin of victory in games as our outcome, we estimate that home advantage adds 0.4 games for men and 0.3 games for women to the expected margin, with standard errors of 0.1. For evenly matche…

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…

Krutrim finds few takers for its LLMs and cloud products
Ola founder Aggarwal first announced Krutrim in December 2023, launching an LLM that could support 10 Indian languages, starting with Krutrim chatbot in February 2024, and cloud offering shortly after. Two founders told ET recently that repeated sign-in attempts were blocked by a persistent “logged out of session” error, making sign-up via mobile or Gmail difficult.

Today in “silly billboards in my community”. The first is by the very “truthful” (/s) people at LNGfacts.ca. Of course, the word "LNGfacts" does not appear anywhere in the dictionary because it's made up nonsense. Just like the "fact" that LNG “makes Canada stronger”... like we're going to win the war in Ukraine with our LNG or fend off #TheAmericanFascist. (Note: LNG is a tool of fascists not the other way around)
This billboard used to say “BC LNG WILL REDUCE GLOBAL EMISSIONS”... with a link to ‘bclnghelps.ca' but that was so clearly a lie that they were forced by the courts to remove it and delete their website, but I made a website instead in their honour called: bclngburns.ca
Back to today's billbboard though... Here's a fact from February 2025: “European LNG imports fell by 19% in 2024 as gas consumption reached an 11-year low, thanks, in part, to renewable energy additions.” (#BCPoli #BCLNG #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency #ExtinctionRebellion #LNG #NaturalGas #Europe #EU #Ukraine #Russia
