The price of silver smashed through the $90 mark Wednesday morning
for the first time in weeks
as the metal recoups gains it lost after a late January crash,
though the precious metal remains far from the record highs it previously hit above $120.
KEY FACTS
The price of silver is $90.68 as of 9:25 a.m. EST, up nearly 4% but down slightly from a high of $91.18 reached earlier in the morning.

A pretty famous geotope in the Allgäuer Alps with extreme folds and layering. The hundreds of meters thick top layer of mostly Dolomite belongs to the Lech valley thrust sheet (215 million years old) which got pushed above the Allgäu sheet below (190 million years old, here mostly covered by overgrown talus fields) and Radiolarite from the Ruhpolding formation even further below (160 million years old and originally 2000 meter below sea level — hard to imagine!).

Getting a jump start on #caturday, before I forget.

Single panel comic. Saint Peter is standing at his kiosk in front of the Pearly Gates. The little halo above his head confirms his identity. In front of him a cat is sitting on a cloud. A fireman has climbed to the top of a ladder poking through the cloud, in front of the cat. He is holding out an opened can of cat food. The fireman is saying to the cat, “I don’t know how you got up here, but I’m here to help you down.”
Single panel cartoon. A man is laying alone on a double bed, under covers up to his armpits. His phone is atop a side table at his left. There’s a small lamp atop a side table on the other side of the bed. A cat is sitting on the man’s chest looking at him. The cat is saying, “You’re in my personal space.”

Counterflow around a cylinder
Matheus P. Severino, Leandro F. Souza, Elmer M. Gennaro, Daniel Rodr\'iguez, Fernando F. Fachini
arxiv.org/abs/2602.22022 arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22022 arxiv.org/html/2602.22022
arXiv:2602.22022v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The incompressible flow around a circular cylinder, positioned at the center of an unconfined planar counterflow, is studied by means of numerical solutions of the conservation equations and linear stability analysis. The flow is completely defined by the Reynolds number ($\Rey$) -- based on the cylinder radius, the strain rate defining the counterflow, and the kinematic viscosity. For very low values of $\Rey$, the flow is steady, two-dimensional, and fully attached to the cylinder wall. Increasing $\Rey$ above $\Rey_s \approx 16.86$, the flow separates, giving rise to two symmetric, counter-rotating recirculation regions on each side of the cylinder. Further increasing $\Rey$ leads to a progressive enlargement of the recirculation regions and the appearance of multiple recirculation centers, akin to Moffatt eddies. However, the convective acceleration imposed by the counterflow limits their size. An oscillatory mode becomes linearly unstable for $\Rey_{c} \approx 4146$. This mode gives rise to a sinuous meandering of the wake flow, on each side of the cylinder, being analogous to the well-known von K\'arm\'an instability. The frequency of this mode is directly proportional to the strain rate defining the counterflow.

Extending $\mu$P: Spectral Conditions for Feature Learning Across Optimizers
Akshita Gupta, Marieme Ngom, Sam Foreman, Venkatram Vishwanath
arxiv.org/abs/2602.20937 arxiv.org/pdf/2602.20937 arxiv.org/html/2602.20937
arXiv:2602.20937v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Several variations of adaptive first-order and second-order optimization methods have been proposed to accelerate and scale the training of large language models. The performance of these optimization routines is highly sensitive to the choice of hyperparameters (HPs), which are computationally expensive to tune for large-scale models. Maximal update parameterization $(\mu$P$)$ is a set of scaling rules which aims to make the optimal HPs independent of the model size, thereby allowing the HPs tuned on a smaller (computationally cheaper) model to be transferred to train a larger, target model. Despite promising results for SGD and Adam, deriving $\mu$P for other optimizers is challenging because the underlying tensor programming approach is difficult to grasp. Building on recent work that introduced spectral conditions as an alternative to tensor programs, we propose a novel framework to derive $\mu$P for a broader class of optimizers, including AdamW, ADOPT, LAMB, Sophia, Shampoo and Muon. We implement our $\mu$P derivations on multiple benchmark models and demonstrate zero-shot learning rate transfer across increasing model width for the above optimizers. Further, we provide empirical insights into depth-scaling parameterization for these optimizers.

A tree in the wood, leaning about 30°, unsupported. Nothing terrible will happen when this one comes down, I think.
My house, from the back. You can see one tree that's broken off just above the top of the roof, and most of that tree is actually lying on the roof; but it has been for more than a year and I'm not worried about it. You can also see a tree leaning over the house, but it's hung up in the tree in front of the house and I don't think it will move. What worries me more are the two trees to the right of the house, leaning towards it. One of them is definitely unstable.

My kids have had the last week off of school and it's looking like they'll have a snow day on Monday, too.
Just slowly losing my mind over here.. (also way behind on work)

Snow will begin light with slightly above-freezing temperatures, so accumulations through Sunday afternoon will be relatively small. The heaviest snow will happen after sunset Sunday and continue into early Monday morning before it begins to taper off.

'Blick von oben' #fotovorschlag 'view from above'
When I saw the topic, I wasn't sure wether I should post a mountin photo or not. But as I have seen so many others doing so, I decided to also post this "view from above" from ~3 months ago when I went to this mountain and enjoyed not only the silence but also the view.
Enjoy!

A breathtaking alpine panorama unfolds in this image, capturing the stunning beauty of a snowy mountain landscape. The foreground features a snow-covered slope, its pristine white surface glistening under the bright sunlight. Footprints in the snow suggest recent activity, adding a touch of life to the serene scene. Scattered across the slope are clusters of evergreen trees, their dark green foliage providing a striking contrast to the white snow. The trees add texture and depth to the scene, …

Historic Glacial Confluence
This is the site of confluence of the former glaciers Vernagtferner and Hintereisferner, two of the most (and longest) studied glaciers in the world. It is the site (at ~2200m) where several times over the past thousand years the ice of the Vernagtferner would pile up to form a massive dam, 150-200m tall, which caused a semi-permanent ice lake to form in the Rofen/Hintereis valley above (the one visible from ~7 seconds). Many times this lake would get up to …

Amazon deforestation raises surface temperature by 3°C during dry season, satellite data show
Deforestation in the Amazon is causing significant regional changes in climate compared to areas with forest cover above 80%. The loss of vegetation leads to an increase in surface temperature, a decrease in evapotranspiration, and a reduction in precipitation during the dry season and in the number of rainy days.

Well this is interesting. Last night during the workstation outage the grid power voltage to my house reached the highest level I've ever seen, 257V across the two nominally 120 legs (meaning they were 128.5V RMS above/below neutral). And a day or two earlier it dropped down to 235V.
Almost certainly unrelated, they don't pull enough power for this to make a difference and are on double conversion UPS so the voltage they saw wouldn't change. But the timing is curious, as is…

Graph of power voltage over time at different scales (day, week, month, year). The blue line is a perfect 240.0V and shows the output voltage of the UPS, while the green line is fluctuating around 245 +/- a few volts until yesterday when the amplitude of the noise gets a lot higher with a big dip followed by a big spike

In 2023, the region experienced unusually high temperatures, reaching 1.5°C above the 1991–2020 average, accompanied by unusual levels of atmospheric dryness from September to November. These conditions were caused by warmer water temperatures in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that resulted in diminished moisture transport from the Atlantic to…
