„Es gibt keinen Anspruch auf die Alleinnutzung öffentlicher Straßen durch Pkw“
Gerichtspräsidentin Ludgera Selting, Berliner Verfassungsgericht
Und das Gericht stellt auch die Handlungsmöglichkeiten des Landes Berlin klar. Das ist nicht nur für Berlin interessant.
Länder können neue Straßentypen wie autoreduzierte Straßen schaffen. Es zu unterlassen ist damit rein politisch, nicht rechtlich.
Eine Ausrede weniger.

Entscheid des Verfassungsgerichtshofs: Berlin darf autofrei werden
Schlappe für den Senat: Das Volksbegehren „Berlin autofrei“ ist laut Verfassungsgericht zulässig. Nun ist das Abgeordnetenhaus am Zug.

How Trump's America mirrors the Gilded Age of robber barons
Fortunes built on dominant positions,
even outright monopolies;
a society in which 1% of the population held 50% of the country's wealth.
Among the most enthusiastic admirers of this turn-of-the-century era is none other than Donald Trump

Equivalence of the categories of categorical groups and cssc-crossed modules
In [8] we proved that any categorical group defines a c-crossed module, which is a cssc-crossed module defined in the same paper. In [9] we constructed a categorical group for any cssc-crossed module. In the presented paper we prove that these correspondences define functors between the corresponding categories, which realize an equivalence of the categories of categorical groups and cssc-crossed modules.

It's my opinion that Labour's current stated position that "everyone who disagrees with us is a paedo" might be effective with some Reform voters, but probably risks alienating others in the longer term, and will not improve the quality of discourse in the short term.

Those findings vibe with me, but, like, what’s happening to the #Android ecosystem?

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up
78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

Posterior Transition Modeling for Unsupervised Diffusion-Based Speech Enhancement
We explore unsupervised speech enhancement using diffusion models as expressive generative priors for clean speech. Existing approaches guide the reverse diffusion process using noisy speech through an approximate, noise-perturbed likelihood score, combined with the unconditional score via a trade-off hyperparameter. In this work, we propose two alternative algorithms that directly model the conditional reverse transition distribution of diffusion states. The first method integrates the diffusi…

#KamalaHarris said, during the debate, that #Trump would:
☑️ Prosecute his political enemies.
☑️ Cut Medicaid/Medicare.
☑️ Ignore court orders.
☑️ Alienate our allies.
☑️ Give massive tax cuts to the rich.

An Analysis of the Radius Gap in a Sample of Kepler, K2 and TESS exoplanets orbiting M Dwarf Stars
Planetary radii are derived for 218 exoplanets orbiting 161 M dwarf stars. Stellar radii are based on an analysis of APOGEE high-resolution near-IR spectra for a subsample of the M-dwarfs; these results are used to define a stellar radius-M$_{\rm K_{\rm s}}$ calibration that is applied to the sample of M-dwarf planet hosts. The planetary radius distribution displays a gap over R$_{\rm p}$$\sim$1.6-2.0 R$_{\oplus}$, bordered by two peaks at R$_{\rm p}$$\sim$1.2-1.6 R$_{\oplus}$ (super-Earths) an…

Profinite approach to S-adic shift spaces I: Saturating directive sequences
This paper is the first in a series of three, about (relatively) free profinite semigroups and S-adic representations of minimal shift spaces. We associate to each primitive S-adic directive sequence ${\boldsymbolσ}$ a $\textit{profinite image}$ in the free profinite semigroup over the alphabet of the induced minimal shift space. When this profinite image contains a $\mathcal{J}$-maximal maximal subgroup of the free profinite semigroup (which, up to isomorphism, is called the $\t…
