Marvellous photo taken in Glasgow by Zeno Watson. Imagine the luck of being right there at the moment they were moving that!
#FensterFreitag

Two workers moving a very large mirrored surface by hand on a street in central Glasgow. In the mirror you can see windows from the building across the street, which is not in the photo. Black and white.

Black Dens:
Where Black Holes live; often unheated warehouses with Day-Glo
spray painting, mutilated mannequins, Elvis references, dozens of
overflowing ashtrays, mirror sculptures, and Velvet Underground music
playing in background.

Listening to black mirrors with gravitational radiation
The existence of curvature singularities and the information and firewall paradoxes are significant problems for the conventional black hole model. The black mirror hypothesis provides a CPT-symmetric alternative to the classical description of black hole, offering a novel solution to these long-standing issues. We show that classical black holes can, in principle, be distinguished from black mirrors observationally, by using gravitational waves. The principal challenge is to identify a unique,…

Oof, fuck microsoft.
But also, there's no reason to use permissive licenses any more. "Open source" has taken over the world. We no longer have to work with billion-dollar companies in order to get our stuff used. Now we need to protect ourselves from being taken advantage of by them.

Getting Forked by Microsoft
Three years ago, I was part of a team responsible for developing and maintaining Kubernetes clusters for end user customers. A main source for downtime in customer environments occurred when image registries went down. The traditional way to solve this problem is to set up a stateful mirror, however we had to work within customer budget and time constraints which did not allow it. During a Black Friday, we started getting hit with a ton of traffic while GitHub container registries were down. Th…

I think it’s an old Datsun from the 70s with side view mirrors on the hood. Beautiful two-tone paint job with red body and black on top.
Looking at this car from the front. This is the kind of roadster design we should bring back.
Up close detail of the hood-mounted side view mirror. Looks aftermarket, but who cares.

Improving cosmological reach of a gravitational wave observatory using Deep Loop Shaping
Improved low-frequency sensitivity of gravitational wave observatories would unlock study of intermediate-mass black hole mergers, binary black hole eccentricity, and provide early warnings for multi-messenger observations of binary neutron star mergers. Today's mirror stabilization control injects harmful noise, constituting a major obstacle to sensitivity improvements. We eliminated this noise through Deep Loop Shaping, a reinforcement learning method using frequency domain rewards. We proved…

He’s coming to Vancouver as well: #enshittification

39. Cory Doctorow: Enshittification - Granville Island Stage - Vancouver - Oct 23, 2025
EVENT DESCRIPTION At last, a word has been coined that encapsulates our modern era, that eloquently sums up the pressing issues of our times: Enshittification. The term—which creator Cory Doctorow describes as a diagnosis about the state of exploitative online services, and the disheartening digital world as a whole—resonated so strongly that the American Dialect Society named it the 2023 Word of the Year, and it was cited as an inspiration for the 2025 season of Black Mirror. With incisive…

When the hotel WiFi is acting up again, but the good old Ethernet port in the room works perfectly. 😎 #Vacation

A white power cable and a black Ethernet cable are plugged into a wall socket. A small mirror can be seen next to the socket and the cables lead to a wifi access point on a piece of wooden furniture.

Resonance in black hole ringdown: Benchmarking quasinormal mode excitation and extraction

Resonance in black hole ringdown: Benchmarking quasinormal mode excitation and extraction
We investigate how resonant excitation near exceptional points manifests in Kerr black hole ringdown waveforms and examine its extraction. Using waveforms generated by localized initial data, where quasinormal mode amplitudes are given solely by excitation factors, we establish a controlled benchmark for overtone extraction. Applying an iterative fitting method with mirror modes, we analyze a mild resonance in the $(l,m)=(2,2)$ multipole and a sharp resonance in the $(3,1)$ multipole occurring …
