I saw a guy with an Aventon PAC this morning, chatted for a bit, he offered to let me test ride but I said “Thanks, but I’m good!” then ran into a guy with an Aventon Aventure later in they day. Both said they loved their bikes. Both looked a few years older than me.
I really think I’m just gonna go for the Level 3. Spent a bunch of time reading and watching reviews, looks like it would be a great commuter bike for work & weekend fun rides.

Meta’s New Superintelligence Lab Is Discussing Major A.I. Strategy Changes
Members of the lab, including the new chief A.I. officer, Alexandr Wang, have talked about abandoning Meta’s most powerful open source A.I. model in favor of developing a closed one.

In his op ed in the WaPo,
Jay Bhattacharya has shown that he should not be taken seriously. He’s DEFINITELY not a real scientist.
If people don’t like science should we ignore the potential it has?
That’s not how it works.
Science doesn’t care about your feelings.

Planets Around Solar Twins/Analogs (PASTA) II: chemical abundances, systematic offsets, and clues to planet formation
Context. Previous studies have suggested that the Sun is relatively depleted in refractory elements compared to other solar twins or analogs, potentially as a result of planet formation. However, such conclusions are often limited by inhomogeneous samples and a lack of direct comparison with stars known to host planets. Aims. We aim to perform a homogeneous and precise abundance analysis of solar twins and analogs that host planets, to investigate possible chemical signatures associated with …

On the Origin of Neutron-capture Elements in r-I and r-II Stars: A Differential-abundance Analysis
We present a strictly line-by-line differential analysis of a moderately $r$-process-enhanced star ($r$-I: HD~107752) with respect to a strongly $r$-process-enhanced star ($r$-II: CS~31082-0001) to investigate the possible common origin of their heavy-element nucleosynthesis with high-precision abundances. This study employs ESO data archive high-resolution and high signal-to-noise spectra taken with the UVES (VLT) spectrograph. Considering only the lines in common in both spectra, we estimate …
