Just updated Tvmarks to 3.0 as I finally transition it to typescript.
I avoided typescript before as Postmarks was not and Glitch really struggled with the build step needed for typescript.
Typescript will only make adding new features easier as adding bugs will be harder.

If I have one complaint about the Jellyfin ecosystem, it's specifically with the Infuse client. It does a great job, but there is no way to have it accept "self-signed" certificates. I run a local CA and all of my internal servers have certs carved off of it. Unfortunately, Infuse will not connect to the Jellyfin server because of it which kinda sucks. Very annoying...

Quantum Communication with Quantum Dots Beyond Telecom Wavelengths via Hollow-Core Fibers
Quantum dot single-photon sources are promising for quantum communication. Yet, the most advanced devices operate near 900 nm, where standard single-mode fibers experience significant losses. We address this by employing a hollow-core fiber engineered for low-loss transmission at quantum dot wavelengths, with measured loss of 0.65 dB/km and potentially as low as 0.12 dB/km near 934 nm. The fiber also supports strong classical signals at 1550 nm without adding Raman noise. Using this platform, w…

STRAWBERRY: Finding haloes in the gravitational potential
Here, we present a novel algorithm that discriminates between bound and unbound particles by consideration of the gravitational potential from an accelerated reference frame -- also referred to as `the boosted potential'. Particles are considered bound if their energy does not exceed the escape energy of a potential well -- given by the closest saddle-point that connects to a deeper potential minimum. This approach has core benefits over previous approaches, since it does not require any ad-hoc…

Probing small-scale dark matter clumping with the large-scale 21-cm power spectrum
The 21-cm line of hydrogen is the most promising probe of the Dark Ages and Cosmic Dawn. We combine hydrodynamical simulations with a large-scale grid in order to calculate the effect of non-linear structure formation on the large-scale 21-cm power spectrum, focusing on redshifts $z=20-40$. As the clumping effect arises from small-scale density fluctuations, it offers a unique opportunity to probe the standard cold dark matter model in a new regime and thus potentially investigate the propertie…

Fear of flying therapy is about reframing the flight experience;
if my mind’s eye squints,
I can almost interpret my sweating palms and pounding heartbeat as a kind of buzz.
But this requires repeated, strenuous effort,
and the result is a mental exhaustion that makes the worst-case scenario appealing:
succumbing to my fears and never flying again.
I imagine this as analogous to what many Americans, aerophobic or not, are feeling.
It’s simply easier…

We investigate the crystal structure, transport properties and specific heat in five selected FeSe single crystals containing different amounts of disorder. Transport measurements show that disorder significantly suppresses superconducting transition temperature, $T_\mathrm{c}$, and upper critical field, $H_\mathrm{c2}$. Specific heat results confirm a robust multi-gap nature, a larger isotropic gap ($Δ_\mathrm{s}$) and a smaller anisotropic gap ($Δ_\mathrm{es}$). The smaller gap $Δ_\mathrm{…
