Still rocking this for my #WristCheck. I actually really like this one.
On the one hand there is a lot going on on that dial bit it remains readable and everything present serves a purpose. No extraneous text* or logos, so while it is busy, it's also clean.
* Ok, ok maybe the tiny "JAPAN MOVT" at the bottom is pointless but it's so small it's almost not r…

Weil das Thema „Dienst an der Waffe“ grad wieder diskutiert wird: schon zu meiner Zeit – da noch für jeder männliche 18Jährigen sich mit der Wehrpflicht auseinandersetzen mußte – hatte mich die Verkürzung auf: „könntest du einen Menschen töten“¹ sehr irritiert.
Da steht nicht nur „Waffe“ sondern auch „Dienst“, d.h. die Frage ist nicht nur, ob du eine Waffe gegen „Feinde“ nutzen könntest, sondern auch und vor allem darum, daß dies auf Befehl geschieht, also eine externe Instanz entschei…

The proposed sell-off of federal lands in the Senate budget bill includes a LOT of Joshua tree habitat—the trees grow in some of the largest areas of undeveloped land in the lower 48 states
The place where eastern and western Joshua trees hybridize, north of Creech AFB, is included

Wanting to Be Understood Explains the Meta-Problem of Consciousness
Because we are highly motivated to be understood, we created public external representations -- mime, language, art -- to externalise our inner states. We argue that such external representations are a pre-condition for access consciousness, the global availability of information for reasoning. Yet the bandwidth of access consciousness is tiny compared with the richness of `raw experience', so no external representation can reproduce that richness in full. Ordinarily an explanation of experienc…

Singular flat bands in three dimensions: Landau level spreading, quantum geometry, and Weyl reconstruction
We theoretically investigate three-dimensional singular flat band systems, focusing on their quantum geometric properties and response to external magnetic fields. As a representative example, we study the pyrochlore lattice, which hosts a pair of degenerate flat bands touching a dispersive band. We derive a three-orbital effective continuum model that captures the essential features near the band-touching point. Within this framework, we identify the point-like topological singularity on a pla…

Image Processing Techniques to Identify and Quantify Spatiotemporal Carbon Cycle Extremes
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide due to human activities through fossil fuel emissions and land use changes have increased climate extremes such as heat waves and droughts that have led to and are expected to increase the occurrence of carbon cycle extremes. Carbon cycle extremes represent large anomalies in the carbon cycle that are associated with gains or losses in carbon uptake. Carbon cycle extremes could be continuous in space and time and cross political boundaries. Here, we present a m…
