Background Measurements and Simulations of the ComPair Balloon Flight
ComPair, a prototype of the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO), completed a short-duration high-altitude balloon campaign on August 27, 2023 from Fort Sumner, New Mexico, USA. The goal of the balloon flight was the demonstration of ComPair as both a Compton and Pair telescope in flight, rejection of the charged particle background, and measurement of the background $γ$-ray spectrum. This analysis compares measurements from the balloon flight with Monte Carlo simulations to ben…

So there's this new "#eDoręczenia" (~ "eDelivery") system that's supposed to replace the previous "ePUAP" system for exchanging signed messages between citizens and offices. I've finally had the opportunity of testing it today, and I have to say, it's magic.
So I wrote the message, attached the ~300 KiB attachment and clicked "Send". Now a status bar appeared on top, saying (in translation):
> Sending message, it can take up to 20 minutes!
Roughly two minutes later the status bar disappeared and I got a blank new message form. So I go into "sent", nothing there. I go into "drafts", there's my message, apparently listed with "delivery data". I click it, click "send" again — the same bar appears, but after a few seconds I'm back to the list. I click "sent", it's finally sent. Magic!

Pues tenemos el nuevo podcast en YouTube, con Doom TDA, Revenge of the Savage Planet y mšs juegos. Ya lo tenéis los que disfrutšis de escuchar hablar de juegos mientras veis esos mismos juegos. Espero que os mole, dejadme comentarios y RT si os gusta ;) https://youtu.be/oNAViUYEfUU

The real magic is learning a few tricks from those performance talks (like switching from walltime to measure to measuring throughout, a nice mental model change, among others), how easy flamegraphs have become in Instruments, and how good the UI to support it has become.

High-resolution APEX/LAsMA $^{12}$CO and $^{13}$CO (3-2) observation of the G333 giant molecular cloud complex : III. Decomposition of molecular clouds into multi-scale hub-filament structures
We decomposed the G333 complex and the G331 giant molecular cloud into multi-scale hub-filament systems (HFs) using the high-resolution $^{13}$CO (3$-$2) data from LAsMA observations. We employed the filfinder algorithm to identify and characterize filaments within HFs. Compared with non-HFs, HFs have significantly higher density contrast, larger masses and lower virial ratios. Velocity gradient measurements around intensity peaks provide evidence of gas inflow within these structures. There ma…

Trump team mulls suspending habeas corpus to speed deportations. Can it?
Top White House aide Stephen Miller says the Trump administration is looking for ways to expand its legal power to deport migrants who are in the United States illegally. To achieve that, he says President Donald Trump’s team is “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus, the constitutional right for people to legally challenge their detention by the government. Such a move would be aimed at migrants as part of the Republican president’s broader crackdown at the U.S.-Mexico border. …

Wiecie, czego naprawdę nie znoszę w długie weekendy?
Nawet nie zmian rozkładu, ale tego, że dla mniejszych przewoźników, po prostu nie idzie znaleźć informacji, czy w piątek autobusy kursują według rozkładu dla dni roboczych czy weekendowego. I oczywiście jeden z drugim z reguły różnią się tak bardzo, że nawet nie można wybrać jednego kursu, który na pewno pojedzie.
Tak, pomyślałem, żeby jutro rano pojechać do Kórnika. Pewnie nikt tu przypadkiem nie orientuje się, jak jutro jeżdż…

Polish people since yesterday: lawks, religious festivities coming, masses, processions, religious songs!

Large effects from quantum reference frames
Reference frames are used to parameterize measurements of physical effects, but since their practical realization uses material objects, they may affect observations performed in a combined quantum state of the measured system together with the frame. Here, a procedure is used that makes it possible to describe non-monotonic reference scales in a quantum treatment, revealing large quantum effects in the measured system whenever a reference frame encounters a turning point. Subtle quantum correl…

The ALMA Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO): V. Protoplanetary gas disk masses
The evolution of the gas mass of planet-forming disks around young stars is crucial for our understanding of planet formation, yet it has proven hard to constrain observationally, due both to the difficulties of measuring gas masses and the lack of a homogeneous sample. Here we present a large grid of thermochemical models which we use to measure protoplanetary gas disk masses of AGE-PRO, the ALMA survey of Gas Evolution in PROtoplanetary disks. AGE-PRO covers a sample of 30 disks around simila…
