Sydney's first queer museum Qtopia opens at permanent site in Darlinghurst police station
Some of the 53 people arrested after the first Mardi Gras march in 1978 were locked up at Sydney's Darlinghurst Police Station. The building now tells the story of the LGBTQIA+ community.

European Commission: This Is What's Needed For A Bigger EU
Without much fanfare, the European Commission on March 20 published its ideas on 🔸what reforms the bloc needs to undertake in order to take in more members. 🔸
Numbering only some 22 pages, it gathers some initial thoughts ahead of several upcoming reviews in various policy fields that the commission will undertake later in 2024 and in 2025.
Once again, 💥EU enlargement 💥appears to be enjoying some momentum as EU l…

Wider Europe Briefing: What Ukraine And Moldova Need To Do To Join The EU
I'm RFE/RL Europe Editor Rikard Jozwiak, and this week I'm drilling down on two big issues: Ukraine and Moldova's negotiation framework and the European Commission's view on pre-enlargement reforms.

"Norway and the UK were furthest from the Paris climate agreement because the countries were “aggressively” exploring and licensing new oil and gas fields. In 2021, the International Energy Agency found there was no room for new oil exploration in its pathway to net zero emissions."

Hey @… - can you help amplify this, so wheelchair users of Public Transport Sydney can get in on this to help improve the network.

Hard Rock Drilling for Super-hot Enhanced Geothermal System Development: Literature Review and Techno-Economic Analysis
The increasing global demand for electricity and the imperative of achieving sustainable and net-zero energy solutions have underscored the importance of exploring alternative sources. Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) have emerged as a promising avenue for renewable and sustainable energy production. However, the development of EGS faces a significant challenge in drilling through hard rock formations at high temperatures, necessitating specialized drilling equipment and techniques. This study…

This might be my new favorite movie review:

Evaluation of Data Augmentation and Loss Functions in Semantic Image Segmentation for Drilling Tool Wear Detection
Tool wear monitoring is crucial for quality control and cost reduction in manufacturing processes, of which drilling applications are one example. In this paper, we present a U-Net based semantic image segmentation pipeline, deployed on microscopy images of cutting inserts, for the purpose of wear detection. The wear area is differentiated in two different types, resulting in a multiclass classification problem. Joining the two wear types in one general wear class, on the other hand, allows the…
