While Trump is attacking the free press with all possible means, Dutch public news site @nos writes that he's "successfully reigning in American media"... https://nos.nl/l/2583235

Hoe Trump met succes de Amerikaanse media beteugelt
President Trump lijkt steeds verder te willen gaan om kritische media in het gareel te krijgen. Hij dreigt nu zelfs uitzendvergunningen van omroepen in te trekken.

“A Push for More Organ Transplants Is Putting Donors at Risk”
“People across the United States have endured rushed or premature attempts to remove their organs. Some were gasping, crying or showing other signs of life.”
A chilling read about an absolutely galling failure of the most basic bioethical concerns. The process around circulatory death donation is clearly broken and requires reform and better oversight. It’s ghoulish in its present state.

SN 2024hpj: a perspective on SN 2009ip-like events
Supernovae (SNe) IIn are terminal explosions of massive stars that are surrounded by a dense circumstellar medium (CSM). Among SNe IIn, a notable subset is the SNe 2009ip-like, which exhibit an initial, fainter peak attributed to stellar variability in the late evolutionary stages, followed by a brighter peak, interpreted as the SN explosion itself. We analyse the spectrophotometric evolution of SN 2024hpj, a SN IIn with signs of precursor activity. Comparing it with similar objects in the lite…

Fox's $20-a-month news and sports streamer launches next week. Here's what's on it
Fox's news and sports content will be available to stream for $19.99 a month.

Friend sent me this pic from the WOOT poster session.
Unfortunately I didn't think to ask for a pic of me with it, but oh well lol.

Interpretable Bayesian Tensor Network Kernel Machines with Automatic Rank and Feature Selection
Tensor Network (TN) Kernel Machines speed up model learning by representing parameters as low-rank TNs, reducing computation and memory use. However, most TN-based Kernel methods are deterministic and ignore parameter uncertainty. Further, they require manual tuning of model complexity hyperparameters like tensor rank and feature dimensions, often through trial-and-error or computationally costly methods like cross-validation. We propose Bayesian Tensor Network Kernel Machines, a fully probabil…

Great showing from Pulp at Glastonbury. Jarvis in full effect in a charity shop brown suit that's too big for him. He's 61 years old but it's like 1995 again. And my favourite track is actual new music, released only this April.

Euclid preparation. Simulating thousands of Euclid spectroscopic skies
We present two extensive sets of 3500+1000 simulations of dark matter haloes on the past light cone, and two corresponding sets of simulated (`mock') galaxy catalogues that represent the Euclid spectroscopic sample. The simulations were produced with the latest version of the PINOCCHIO code, and provide the largest, public set of simulated skies. Mock galaxy catalogues were obtained by populating haloes with galaxies using an halo occupation distribution (HOD) model extracted from the Flagship …
