H5N1 in the US
"Andrew Bowman, a veterinary epidemiologist at Ohio State University, had a hunch.
"... he and a graduate student went on a road trip: They collected 150 commercial milk products from around the Midwest, representing dairy processing plants in 10 different states, including some where herds have tested positive for H5N1. Genetic testing found viral RNA in 58 samples"
I like how they didn't just wait for official news :-) Go scientists!

Seit Jahren fällt auf, wer in #Russland gegenüber der Politik des Präsidenten #Putin Kritik äußert, wird vom "Pech verfolgt".
Mal geht ein Raubüberfall tödlich aus, zufällig kommt man in Kontakt mit tödlichen Substanzen wie Polonium oder Nowitschok, andere stürzen tragisch u. fallen aus e…

Volgend mij heeft Geert het al die jaren gewoon mis: hij zet in op moslims die zijn doelgroep niet zou moeten, maar ze moeten helemaal niemand, ze hebben een hekel aan alles en iedereen, behalve aan Frans Bauer en Roy Donders of zo. https://mastodon.nl/@SandraDeHaan/112162814825287…

Attached: 1 image Verschrikkelijk, de haat tegen vluchtelingen in Brabant! 😡 Afgelopen weekend zijn er vernielingen aangericht op het terrein waar de werkzaamheden plaatsvinden voor de huisvesting van 150 Oekraïense vluchtelingen. Landgoed Mariahoeve bij Leende. Hekwerk, bomen en struiken zijn vernield, ruiten van graafmachines zijn ingegooid, sloten zijn kapot gemaakt. Er is aangifte gedaan bij de politie, meldt de burgemeester. Aannemer: "Er is veel beschadigd. Dit is geen normale inbr…

Weil's mir wichtig ist (und durchaus auch was mit Demokratie zu tun hat), hier nochmal ein Hinweis auf meine Besprechung von Chachras Infrastruktur-Buch in meinem Blog.

Über Infrastruktur, und wie wir sie erhalten können
Ich gebe zu, dass ich bei dem Thema etwas voreingenommen bin. Eine von den Dingen, die ich wirklich aus meinem Soziologiestudium mitgenommen habe, ist Praxistheorie: gesellschaftliche Regeln, Erwartungen usw. verfestigen sich, indem sie immer wieder wiederholt werden - und damit Bahnen schlagen für

Turns out the Mastodon version underlying #Trump's social media platform #TruthSocial is outdated and has a vulnerability that allows arbitrary remote code execution and DoS attacks.
In totally unrelated news: It is utterly ILLEGAL to hack into, sabotage, shutdown or destroy counter-de…

I don't know who needs to hear this but #TruthSocial, which is running a forked version of Mastodon, does not from the source code appear to have appropriate mitigations in place for CVE-2023-36460, which theoretically allows attackers to create and overwrite any file Mastodon has access to, allowing Denial of Service and arbitrary Remote Code Execution https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-36460 (probably other CVE's as well, but some rely on federation which Truth Social doesn't use?) #in…

Die Annahme der Initiative für eine 13. AHV-Rente wäre ein epochaler Einschnitt. Das Schweizer Vorsorgesystem ist schlecht, auch im internationalen Vergleich. Die Menschen haben genug.

Binswangers Wochenkommentar: Kommt die 13. Rente?
Die Debatte zur AHV-Initiative ist extrem aufgeladen – und verläuft in seltsamen Bahnen.

Fuss-Catalan Triangles
For each $p>0$ we define by recurrence a triangle $T^p(n,k)$ whose rows sum to the Fuss-Catalan numbers $ \frac{1}{p n+1}\binom{pn+1}{n}$, generalizing the known Catalan triangle corresponding to the case $p=2$. (In fact, $T^p(n,k)$ has an explicit formula counting simple lattice paths). Moreover, for some small values of $p$, the signed sums turn out to be known sequences. \end{abstract}

Lorentz invariance and quantum mechanics

Lorentz invariance and quantum mechanics
Bohmian mechanics and spontaneous collapse models are theories that overcome the quantum measurement problem. While they are naturally formulated for non-relativistic systems, it has proven difficult to formulate Lorentz invariant extensions, primarily due to the inherent non-locality, which is unavoidable due to Bell's theorem. There are trivial ways to make space-time theories Lorentz invariant, but the challenge is to achieve what Bell dubbed ``serious Lorentz invariance''. However, this not…
