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.

Stability AI CEO Emad Mostaque Resignation: What Happened?
Inside the startup’s journey from AI darling to cautionary tale.

The Ore Line in Northern Sweden and Norway, between Kiruna and Narvik, is having a pretty bad winter… First there was a serious derailment on December 17 that took two months to repair. For instance, 14,000 sleepers had to be replaced.
When the freight traffic was restarted, then yesterday another derailment, very close to where the previous one was. Sigh.

Ny urspårning på Malmbanan
Under lördagskvällen spårade ett olastat (tomt) malmtåg ur på Malmbanan. Trafikverket avsynar just nu en sträcka på cirka sex kilometer norr om det tidigare urspårningsområdet i Vassijaure.

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…

Il cielo (folk/rock) d’Irlanda – intervista a John Vignola

John Vignola. Il cielo (folk/rock) d’Irlanda
Sono molti gli indizi che svelano il rapporto (intensissimo) dell’Irlanda con la musica: i concerti dal vivo in ogni pub, l’arpa come emblema ufficiale fin dal Medioevo e oggi impressa nelle monete da due euro, i testi di denuncia che accomunano folk tradizionale e artisti diventati star internazionali. Ne parla con la consueta verve e competenza John Vignola, giornalista, critico musicale e conduttore radiofonico.

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

Abstract: The keyhole phenomenon is widely observed in laser materials processing, including laser welding, remelting, cladding, drilling, and additive manufacturing. Keyhole-induced defects, primarily pores, dramatically affect the performance of final products, impeding the broad use of these laser-based technologies. The formation of these pores is typically associated with the dynamic behavior of the keyhole. So far, the accurate characterization and prediction of keyhole features, particularly keyhole depth, as a function of time has been a challenging task. In situ characterization of keyhole dynamic behavior using a synchrotron X-ray is complicated and expensive. Current simulations are hindered by their poor accuracies in predicting keyhole depths due to the lack of real-time laser absorptance data. Here, we develop a machine learning-aided simulation method that allows us to accurately predict keyhole depth over a wide range of processing parameters. Based on titanium and aluminum alloys, two commonly used engineering materials as examples, we achieve an accuracy with an error margin of 10 %, surpassing those simulated using other existing models (with an error margin in a range of 50-200 %). Our machine learning-aided simulation method is affordable and readily deployable for a large variety of materials, opening new doors to eliminate or reduce defects for a wide range of laser materials processing techniques.
