Ilford FP4 Plus 125 (FF) Image 1 – English Alt Text A black‑and‑white photograph showing several leafless trees on the left side of the frame. Their thin branches extend upward and outward against a blank sky that occupies the right side. Among the branches, a small star‑shaped object is visible, positioned slightly above the center. The scene is quiet and minimal, with strong contrast between the dark branches and the pale sky. Image 1 – 中文替代文字 一张黑白照片，画面左侧是几棵没有树叶的树，细长的树枝向上和向外伸展。右侧是空白的天空，占据了大部…
Ilford FP4 Plus 125 (FF) Image 4 – English Alt Text A black‑and‑white close view of a gravel surface. Two parallel curved tracks run through the gravel, suggesting something small moved across it. The gravel pieces vary in size and create a rough texture. The tracks are slightly darker than the surrounding stones and form gentle arcs across the frame. Image 4 – 中文替代文字 一张黑白的近景照片，显示一片碎石地面。两条平行的弯曲痕迹穿过碎石，似乎是某个小物体经过后留下的。碎石大小不一，形成粗糙的纹理。痕迹比周围的石子略深，在画面中呈弧形延伸。
Ilford FP4 Plus 125 (FF) mage 3 – English Alt Text A nighttime black‑and‑white image showing a triangular traffic sign behind a metal fence. The sign is illuminated and displays the character “让,” meaning “give way to.” Vertical and horizontal metal bars in the foreground partially obscure the sign, creating a grid‑like pattern. The background is dark, making the lit sign stand out. Image 3 – 中文替代文字 一张黑白的夜间照片。画面中，一个三角形交通标志位于金属栅栏后方，标志被照亮，上面有“让”字。前景的金属栏杆形成网格状，部分遮挡了标志。背景较暗，使得被照亮的标志更加突出。
Ilford FP4 Plus 125 (FF) Image 2 – English Alt Text A black‑and‑white outdoor scene with snow covering the ground. Patches of grass and small twigs protrude through the snow in the foreground. Behind them, dense branches from a coniferous tree fill much of the background, with needle‑like leaves creating a textured pattern. The contrast between the bright snow and the dark branches is prominent. Image 2 – 中文替代文字 一张黑白的户外场景照片。前景是被积雪覆盖的地面，部分草丛和细小树枝从雪中露出。背景由密集的针叶树枝构成，针状叶片形成明显的纹理。画面中明亮的雪与深色的树枝形成强烈对…

But they are there …

This image captures a stunning and expansive mountain landscape, showcasing the beauty of a high-altitude vista. The foreground is framed by the branches of evergreen trees, their vibrant green needles adding a touch of detail and depth to the scene. Beyond the trees, the landscape opens up to reveal a series of rolling hills and mountains, their slopes covered in a mix of green vegetation and patches of snow. The contrast between the green and the white adds visual interest and highlights the…

For #MountainMonday I share this view from a recent hike.
The 300mm zoom lens zoomed me into this area. It would be a blast to walk there. Yet this is a protection zone that noone should enter in winter to give wildlife some peace.
Well, I was happy to see that scene with the soft snow ... just beautiful (to me at least)

A breathtaking winter landscape unfolds in this image, capturing the serene beauty of a snow-covered hillside. The scene is dominated by undulating waves of pristine snow, their smooth curves creating a sense of rhythm and movement across the landscape. The untouched snow glistens under the soft light, adding a sense of purity and tranquility. Scattered across the hillside are clusters of evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow. The trees add texture and depth to the scene, their dark …

Hegseth has intervened in military promotions for more than a dozen senior officers
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, some of whom are seen as having been targeted because of their race, gender or perceived affiliation with Biden administration policies or officials, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process

Back in 2022, after #StormArwen, I rolled up a section of the fence around my wood so that I could haul fallen timber out of the south end of my wood. There's still a lot of fallen timber there, but I think I have hauled out as much as I practically can. So today I decided to get the fence back up.
Of course, brambles had grown through the rolled up fence, so it was far beyond my stre…

Starting the unroll. The winch line from the tractor is taken through a turning block at the farm gateway, and hooked into the roll. There's a mess of fallen timber in the foreground, which will be outside the fence once it is back up, and which is destined to become firewood. Behind, the wood is still a mess, but the young oak trees along the edge of it are just coming into leaf.
(This picture is accidentally on its side, my apologies) Starting the unroll. The rolled fence has been pulled clear of the weeds, and is unrolling under the branches of the oak trees.
The fence more or less fully unrolled along the edge of the wood. Some of the fence posts are broken and will need to be replaced.
The fence fully unrolled and tensioned, but not yet upright.

- That messaging control extending across supposedly independent branches of government; total collapse of checks and balances, replaced with government by PR strategy
- Mass consolidation of both news media and social media under the control of the billionaire backers of said authoritarians

Greg Kroah-Hartman: "If you look there are thousands of unfixed CVEs in the older LTS kernels right now, and if distros or users that rely on those older branches wish to see those resolved, they need to provide working backports to us to apply, as our first attempt did not work (which is why they are unfixed in those branches.)"
Really asking for a "Pray tell us", given that nobody actually bothered disclosing the problem to downstreams and that the commit message was hiding it.
Either way, apparently the great LLM-backed patch backporting process that #NVidia is so proud of doesn't really work. Upstream doesn't really care about #LTS branches, and they should be considered insecure by default.

Back-to-back Amazon droughts trigger record forest stress
Two back-to-back droughts in 2023 and 2024 caused the most severe decline in forest moisture and biomass (the total mass of living vegetation such as leaves, trunks and branches) in the Amazon since 1992, according to a study published in the journal PNAS. And many of the hardest hit areas are unlikely to recover before the next major drought arrives.

Oh did the whole dogwood bloom sometime in the last day without me noticing? This is looking up at the night sky lit by an automatic floodlight some distance away.

A photo of a dogwood tree in full bloom. The petals are a pale, chalk-like brilliant grey with bits of the green leaves showing. The branches and trunk are a concrete grey with cool patterns in the 30+ year old bark. The photo was taken under the tree pointing up towards the night sky - the jet black of the background against the texture of the light petals is beautiful.

Hidden Higher-Order Vulnerabilities in Simplicial Complexes Revealed by Branch-Consistent Functional Robustness
Kaiming Luo
arxiv.org/abs/2603.24286 arxiv.org/pdf/2603.24286 arxiv.org/html/2603.24286
arXiv:2603.24286v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Robustness of higher-order networks is often quantified by the instantaneous smallest positive eigenvalue of the Hodge $1$-Laplacian under simplex deletion. We show that this observable is generically ill-defined: along a deletion trajectory, eigenvalue branches can switch, so the quantity being monitored may correspond to different nonharmonic modes at different steps. The primary issue is therefore definitional rather than algorithmic. We resolve it by fixing the first nonharmonic branch of the intact complex and following that same branch throughout the damage process, which defines a branch-consistent functional robustness. Triangle sensitivities then follow directly from first-order perturbation theory, making the resulting mode-sensitive deletion protocol a consequence of the observable itself rather than an independent heuristic. Across synthetic and empirical clique complexes, removing only a small fraction of triangles is sufficient to drive the tracked mode to collapse, while graph-level observables remain unchanged because the $1$-skeleton is exactly preserved. The same framework also reveals bridge-like localization of functionally critical simplices and provides a compact predictor of dynamical timescales.

Two-dimensional IR-Raman spectroscopy of vibrational polaritons: Role of dipole surfaces
Xinwei Ji, Tomislav Begusic, Tao E. Li

Abstract: Nonlinear spectroscopy provides a unique perspective to understand time-resolved molecular dynamics under vibrational strong coupling (VSC). Herein, equilibrium-nonequilibrium cavity molecular dynamics simulations are performed to compute the two-dimensional (2D) infrared-infrared-Raman (IIR) spectroscopy of liquid water under VSC. In conventional computational chemistry practices, accurate molecular spectra are often constructed by using an advanced molecular dipole or polarizability model to post-process molecular dynamics trajectories evolved under a computationally efficient potential. By contrast, this work highlights the necessity of employing a consistent dipole surface model in both CavMD simulations and spectroscopic post-processing. While utilizing inconsistent dipole models only mildly influences the linear polariton spectrum, it severely distorts 2D spectra in wide frequency regions. With a consistent dipole-induced-dipole model, compared to the outside-cavity molecular 2D-IIR spectrum, the cavity 2D-IIR spectrum splits the OH stretch band to a pair of polariton branches along only the IR (not Raman) axis, while fading molecular signals at other frequency regions. This work provides the foundation for employing direct CavMD simulations to construct 2D spectra of realistic molecules under VSC.

Bright Fractional Single and Multi-Solitons in a Prototypical Nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger Paradigm: Existence, Stability and Dynamics
Robert J. Decker, A. Demirkaya, T. J. Alexander, P. G. Kevrekidis
arxiv.org/abs/2602.17175 arxiv.org/pdf/2602.17175 arxiv.org/html/2602.17175
arXiv:2602.17175v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In the present work we explore features of single and pairs of solitary waves in a fractional variant of the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation. Motivated by the recent experimental realization of arbitrary fractional exponents, upon quantifying the tail properties of such coherent structures, we detail their destabilization when the fractional exponent $\alpha$ acquires values $\alpha<1$ and showcase how the relevant destabilization is associated with collapse type phenomena. We then turn to in- and out-of-phase pairs of such waveforms and illustrate how they generically exist for arbitrary $\alpha$ when we cross the harmonic limit, i.e., for $\alpha>2$. Importantly, we use the parameter $\alpha$ as a ``bifurcation parameter'' in order to connect the harmonic ($\alpha=2$) and biharmonic ($\alpha=4$) limits. Remarkably, not only do we retrieve the instability of all solitonic pairs in the biharmonic case, but showcase a stabilization feature of particular branches of such multipulses that is {\it unique} to the fractional case and does not arise -- to our knowledge -- for integer multi-pulse settings. We explain systematically this stabilization via spectral analysis and expand upon the implications of our results for the potential observability of fractional multipulse solitary waves.

Last photo from a week ago when temperatures were high and we enjoyed some time out.
When I look at the photo I notice that ... "times" ago I didn't like the brown grass after winter as I was missing the vivid green.
That day however I didn't even think about it. Maybe becuase of the sun ... or the nice contrast of these heather like flowers? Anyways - it's been a great day out there.

A tranquil and picturesque forest scene unfolds in this image, capturing the delicate beauty of nature in early spring or late autumn. The foreground is adorned with clusters of vibrant pink heather flowers, their vivid color standing out against the dry, golden grasses and scattered brown leaves. The flowers add a touch of softness and charm to the otherwise rugged landscape.

Here are the key details of the ride: - **Distance:** 42.43 kilometers - **Total Time:** 3 hours, 24 minutes, and 6 seconds - **Average Speed:** 12.5 km/h - **Total Ascent:** 1,052 meters - **Average Heart Rate:** 147 beats per minute The map trace shows the path taken, highlighting the shape and layout of the route. This appears to be a challenging ride with significant elevation gain. If you have any questions or need further analysis, feel free to ask!

My #silentsunday photo is from last week, where it was about 15°C warmer.
Anyways - to me, a silent sunday means to relax, no rush, seeing the little flowers near the trail. Taking the time to knee down and take a photo - just for the sake of capturing a silent moment.

So you read about #CopyFail, and are like… owww, shit. But then you see that it was responsibly disclosed after being fixed in main, we had releases since, they went stable in #Gentoo (over other #security fixes), so we should be good, right?
Except that it turns out that after it has been fixed in mainline, nobody bothered actually backporting the fix to all the LTS branches. And it doesn't apply cleanly (#Gentoo #Linux
