Taking CO2 out of the air would be an absurdly expensive way to fight climate change
Carbon dioxide removal — a suite of technologies aimed at taking CO2 out of the atmosphere — could cost the US hundreds of billions of dollars, a report finds.

Heavy layoffs of technicians (sounds like it's way more than 10%) in Tesla's service centers. Does not seem likely to help Tesla's reputation as a luxury brand. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/1-teslas-global-job-cuts-084556709.html

UPDATE 1-Tesla's global job cuts include leading markets US, China
Tesla's global job cuts include reducing staff in the U.S. and China, the automakers' two biggest markets, across sales, tech, and engineering, five sources ...

I, too, have a computer science degree from a liberal arts college, and this is a fantastic breakdown of why it prepared me to deal with the unknown.

@… FWIW in any case adding such flags via shell aliases and/or tweaked .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications is still not that hard for a technical user and if a user is not capable or working this out… perhaps they should not be using flags? 🤷🏼

Deep generative models for fast photon shower simulation in ATLAS
The need for large-scale production of highly accurate simulated event samples for the extensive physics programme of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider motivates the development of new simulation techniques. Building on the recent success of deep learning algorithms, variational autoencoders and generative adversarial networks are investigated for modelling the response of the central region of the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter to photons of various energies. The properties …

Inspiration from machine learning on example of optimization of the Bose-Einstein condensate of thulium atoms in a 1064-nm trap
The number of atoms in Bose-Einstein condensate determines the scale of experiments that can be performed, making it crucial for quantum simulations. Optimization of the number of atoms in the condensate is a complex problem which could be efficiently solved using machine learning technique. Nevertheless, this approach usually does not give any insight in the underlying physics. Here we demonstrate possibility to learn physics from the machine learning on an example of condensation of thulium a…

Raiders Mock Draft: Bo Nix, Anyone? Adding A Star CB As Well https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/raiders_mock_draft_bo_nix_anyone_adding_a_star_cb_as_well/s1_16460_40081045

Raiders Mock Draft: Bo Nix, Anyone? Adding A Star CB As Well
The Las Vegas Raiders need a quarterback; that’s not news. What is not known is which route new general manager Tom Telesco will take. If a mega trade to move up into the top three doesn’t occur, taking the best player available would be the next logical choice. Either way, the Silver and Black can walk away with a king’s ransom. If Telesco and Co. do manage to pull off a trade, everyone’s mock drafts will be for naught. Still, what would be the fun in that? Looking at it objectively, m…

“Australia's zero greenhouse gas ambitions could be set back if a vast reserve of carbon stored in a seabed off Western Australia is released into the atmosphere, according to a leading marine ecologist.
World Heritage-listed Shark Bay has the planet's largest reserve of seagrass meadows, but more than a quarter were lost in a marine heatwave in 2011.”

London: Moskau will neue Elite kremlfreundlicher Unternehmer aufbauen
Russland verteilt nach britischer Einschätzung Anteile zuvor verstaatlichter Firmen an kremltreue und den Krieg gegen die Ukraine unterstützende Unternehmer um. Das Ziel dieser Form der "Deprivatisierung" stehe vermutlich im Zusammenhang mit der Rede an die Nation von Präsident Wladimir Putin im Februar, bei der er zur Bildung einer neuen nationalistischen …

Candidate lists were late?
Debates excluded candidates?
Votes from obviously eligible people challenged on technicality?
Votes not counted?
Adding a layer to reduce minority voice representation through rounding?
Requiring access and experience to run or participate?
All deeply anti-democratic processes we see every day.
