A propos de Milei, que GLouB révère
"Une enquête au long cours du quotidien La Nacion [...] a comptabilisé, la première année de présidence Milei, 410 attaques contre la presse dans ses discours, interviews ou tweets, et plus de 60 journalistes nommément visés."

When the law enforcement is corrupt, the criminals roam free and the law is used to pursue people over personal dislikes. We really want the criminals out of law enforcement.
When the #CodeOfConduct enforcement is corrupt, the truly toxic people roam free and the rules are used to bully people over personal dislikes. Why do we applaud projects for adopting a CoC if they are not pursuing independent judgement?

I just finished "An Ember in the Ashes" by Sabaa Tahir. I picked it up because I found her non-fantasy novel "All My Rage" extremely compelling, and I enjoyed fantasy a lot as a genre in my youth but as my politics have changed I'm too disappointed to enjoy a lot of fantasy any more but I thought Tahir might not fall into that.
Although I don't think Ember in the Ashes is bad, it's definitely not what I was looking for, and I don't think I'll pursue the sequels, at least not right now.
Overall the writing was weaker in a lot of ways than All My Rage, and in terms of basic fantasy quality, the worldbuilding was noticeably lacking, the romantic subplot felt stilted, and the politics were a bit murky. Compared to what I felt was Tahir's deft, delicate, and very meaningful handling of trauma in All My Rage, trauma in Ember felt overused and thin.
I also recently finished "Black Panther Red Wolf" by Marlon James, which had excellent world building and (to me) a much more nuance in both romance and in handling trauma. The politics felt a bit off for this one too I guess, but for me it was an overall more enjoyable (if much more difficult) read.

Quantum Simulation of Collective Neutrino Oscillations in Dense Neutrino Environment
Inside dense neutrino gases, such as neutron star mergers or core-collapse supernovae, collective neutrino effects cause the transformation of one neutrino flavour into another. Due to strong neutrino self-interactions in these environments, there is prevalence of flavour swapping. Considering these environments to be isotropic and homogeneous, we present a study of collective neutrino oscillations by simulating such a system on a noisy quantum simulator (Qiskit AerSimulator) and a quantum proc…

Ontem mandei aquele post sobre os Da Weasel do telemóvel. Como acontece frequentemente no telemóvel, porque as "teclas" são minúsculas para o tamanho dos dedos, houve letras enganadas/em falta/a mais (neste caso, em falta), e eu só reparei depois de enviar.
Como o Mastodon permite editar posts, editei, e o post no Mastodon não tem gralha.
No Bluesky tem. Porque no Bluesky não se editam posts.
E é (também) por isso que eu prefiro de longe o Mastodon ao Bluesky.
