'We need the smartest people': Nvidia, OpenAI CEOs react to Trump's H-1B visa fee
"We want all the brightest minds to come to the U.S. and remember immigration is the foundation of the American Dream," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said Monday.

Miljoonat yhdessä muovisaastetta vastaan! Muovijätettä tuotetaan silmittömiä määriä ja päätyessään luontoon se hajoaa mikromuoviksi ja uhkaa elämää. Kansainvälinen muovisopimus asettaisi rajat tarpeettomalle kertakäyttömuoville. Pysäytetään muovikriisi! https://www.greenpeace.org/finland/toimi/i

Muovisaaste seis - Greenpeace Suomi
On aika pysäyttää tarpeettoman muovin tuottaminen ja sen päätyminen luontoon. Tästä riippuu sekä planeetan että ihmiskunnan terveys ja hyvinvointi.

Watched "Mars Express" for the second time because I noticed that I had bought it last year on Prime. I liked it just as much as the first time I saw it.
It has a nice "Ghost in the Shell" vibe going on but it's less philosophical. It makes up for it with great animation and smooth camera moves as well as lots of imaginative sci-fi tech. An exceptional non-Japanese gem in the animated sci-fi genre!

Bahn muss Mehrkosten für #S21 alleine tragen. Man könnte nun als Bund, Land, Region oder Stadt mit Schadenfreude auf die Bahn schauen und sagen, "Siehst Du mal, Du bist Schuld!" Aber tatsächlich liegt das Versagen bei diesem gigantischen Prestigeprojekt tief im politischen Handeln der schwarzen Jahre von Ministerpräsident Mappus und seinen Vorgängern.

Urteil: Bahn muss Mehrkosten für Projekt Stuttgart 21 allein tragen
Wer trägt die Mehrkosten für das Großprojekt Stuttgart 21? Mit Klagen versuchte die Bahn, die Projektpartner dazu zu zwingen, sich daran zu beteiligen. Nun entschied ein Gericht: Die Bahn muss zahlen.

The PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha Nebulae Catalogue
We present the PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha nebulae catalogue, comprising 5177 spatially resolved nebulae across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies (< 20 Mpc), based on high-resolution Halpha imaging from HST, homogenised to a fixed 10 pc resolution and sensitivity. Combined with MUSE spectroscopy, this enables robust classification of 4882 H II regions and separation of planetary nebulae and supernova remnants. Electron densities for 2544 H II regions are derived using [S II] diagnostics, and nebular s…

Entanglement certification from moments of positive maps
Entanglement certification is crucial in physical experiments, particularly when only partial knowledge of the quantum state is available. In this context, we present an entanglement criterion based on positive but not completely positive maps, which eliminates the need to identify eigenvalues of the output state. Notably, the Faddeev-LeVerrier algorithm establishes a relationship between the coefficients of characteristic polynomials and the moments of a matrix. This enables the existence of n…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: DR6 Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Selected Galaxy Clusters Catalog
We present the results of a search for galaxy clusters in the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) Data Release 6 (DR6) microwave sky maps covering 16293 square degrees in three frequency bands, using data obtained over the lifetime of the project (2008-2022). We report redshifts and mass estimates for 9977 clusters detected via their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect with signal-to-noise greater than 4 at a 2.4 arcminute filter scale. The catalog includes 1166 clusters at redshifts greater than 1, a…

Distributed Stochastic Model Predictive Control with Temporal Aggregation for the Joint Dispatch of Cascaded Hydropower and Renewables
This paper addresses the real-time energy dispatch of a hybrid system comprising cascaded hydropower plants, wind, and solar units, jointly participating in the day-ahead energy market under inflow, renewable generation, and price uncertainties. Traditional scenario-based stochastic model predictive control (MPC) faces severe computational bottlenecks due to the complexity arising from the temporal, asset, and scenario dimensions of this control problem. To address this, we propose a novel cont…

Unified Spectrospatial Forward Models: Spatially Continuous Maps of Weak Emission Lines in the Rosette Nebula with SDSS-V LVM
Analyses of IFU data are typically performed on a per-spaxel basis, with each spectrum modelled independently. For low signal-to-noise (S/N) features such as weak emission lines, estimating properties is difficult and imprecise. Arbitrary binning schemes boost S/N at the cost of resolution, and risk introducing biases. We present a general forward-modelling approach that assumes spectra close on the sky are more similar than distant ones, and so can be modelled jointly. These "spectrospatial" m…

Dark Energy Survey Year 6 Results: improved mitigation of spatially varying observational systematics with masking
As photometric surveys reach unprecedented statistical precision, systematic uncertainties increasingly dominate large-scale structure probes relying on galaxy number density. Defining the final survey footprint is critical, as it excludes regions affected by artefacts or suboptimal observing conditions. For galaxy clustering, spatially varying observational systematics, such as seeing, are a leading source of bias. Template maps of contaminants are used to derive spatially dependent correction…
