1/2 Thanks to @… for this interesting article. It speaks to me. :)
I’ve been weather blogging @… since 2005. It is interesting how it has changed, and how I have changed.
My website used to be just data from the (expensive) station I bought when I moved back to Port Alberni. It was a hobby and a side project to practice web/coding skills I use at work. My focus was on creating useful data for people that was more local/relevant than the official EC station outside of the city.
Then I put up a webcam and learned how to make timelapses. This got the attention of local media… because pictures. :)
Then I added a blog and started to write about the weather almost daily. This was before Facebook. There was a popular local online forum where I would post things. The media would also follow my website and they started to call me when there was extreme weather (usually very hot or very wet/stormy).
Then Facebook started to get big and I made a page that eventually had a few thousand followers. I would blog often. Lots of traffic from Facebook… this was 2010 and on. I blogged about climate and weather pretty equally.
Like anyone in Port Alberni, I was/am obsessed with the Martin Mars and got wrapped up in that issue along with others which combined with the weather following probably gave me just enough exposure to have me elected as a councillor in 2014.
I continued through that 4 years, blogging often in addition to councillor duties and work, heavily on facebook, then it all went sideways on my own poor judgement (go ahead and google it, it’s ok :)) and I was not reelected, but Facebook by 2018 had also changed. Cambridge Analytica, etc.

Spin versus Magic: Lessons from Gluon and Graviton Scattering
The quantum property of non-stabiliserness, also known as magic, plays a key role in designing quantum computing systems. How to produce, manipulate and enhance magic remains mysterious, such that concrete examples of physical systems that manifest magic behaviour are sought after. In this paper, we study two-particle scattering of gluons and gravitons in Yang--Mills theory and General Relativity, as well as their supersymmetric extensions. This provides an interesting case of two-qubit systems…

Groups with conjugacy classes of coprime sizes
Suppose that $x$, $y$ are elements of a finite group $G$ lying in conjugacy classes of coprime sizes. We prove that $\langle {x^G} \cap {y^G}\rangle$ is an abelian normal subgroup of $G$ and, as a consequence, that if $x$ and $y$ are $π$-regular elements for some set of primes $π$, then $x^G y^G$ is a $π$-regular conjugacy class in $G$. The latter statement was previously known for $π$-separable groups $G$ and this generalisation permits us to extend several results concerning the common di…

Selecting Interlacing Committees
Polarization is a major concern for a well-functioning society. Often, mass polarization of a society is driven by polarizing political representation, even when the latter is easily preventable. The existing computational social choice methods for the task of committee selection are not designed to address this issue. We enrich the standard approach to committee selection by defining two quantitative measures that evaluate how well a given committee interconnects the voters. Maximizing these m…

Theoretical Diagnostics for the Physical Conditions in Active Galactic Nuclei under the View of JWST
With excellent spectral and angular resolutions and, especially, sensitivity, the JWST allows us to observe infrared emission lines that were previously inaccessible or barely accessible. These emission lines are promising for evaluating the physical conditions in different galaxies. Based on {\sc MAPPINGS V} photoionization models, we systematically analyze the dependence of over 20 mid-infrared (mid-IR) emission lines covered by the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) onboard JWST on the physical …

Ultrafast photocurrent detection reveals that device efficiency is dominated by ultrafast exciton dissociation not exciton diffusion
Excitons diffusing to a charge-separating interface is a necessary step to convert energy into current in next-generation photovoltaics. In this report, made possible by a new ultrafast spectrometer design, we compare exciton dynamics measured using both photoabsorption- and photocurrent-detected transient and 2D spectroscopies. For a device with semiconducting carbon nanotubes as the exciton transport material, we find that photoabsorption detection greatly overestimates the importance of long…
