Great piece on the need for architects to say goodbye to their concrete dreams and consider less carbon intensive building materials

Concrete Eulogies : How do we mourn concrete?
The season is ending and MPavilion comes down in a few weeks. It’s taken me this long to get out and see it; I’ve missed a few years but I had to see Melbourne’s fanciest bollard. I really wanted to love it, I really did. I have my special connection with MPavilion. I was even prepared to dismiss the intrusive thoughts that snuck in when I saw the proposal last year: it’s kinda got a tone-deaf public voyeur booth aesthetic to it. I’m pretty good at putting aside my own judgements and …

Sign and RT! I joined Ultra Violet in demanding Congress repeal the #ComstockAct, a 151-year-old law being weaponized by anti-abortion extremists to ban abortion nationwide. Many of our freedoms hang in the balance if we don't repeal now.

Optical modeling of systematic uncertainties in detector polarization angles for the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
We present an estimate of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) detector polarization angle systematic uncertainty from optics perturbation analysis using polarization-sensitive ray tracing in CODE V optical design software. Uncertainties in polarization angle calibration in CMB measurements can limit constraints on cosmic birefringence and other cosmological measurements. Our framework estimates the angle calibration systematic uncertainties from possible displacements in lens positions and or…

Innovative Application of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Bank Credit Risk Management
With the rapid growth of technology, especially the widespread application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the risk management level of commercial banks is constantly reaching new heights. In the current wave of digitalization, AI has become a key driving force for the strategic transformation of financial institutions, especially the banking industry. For commercial banks, the stability and safety of asset quality are crucial, which directly relates to the long-term stable growth o…
