Event-based complexity in atmospheric turbulence
Since the studies of Kolmogorov and Oboukhov in 1941, the problem of intermittent large velocity excursions was recognized to be one of the most intriguing and elusive aspects of turbulent flows. While many efforts were devoted since 1960s to the magnitude intermittency, related to the statistics of the large increments in the turbulent signals, the attention towards the so-called clustering intermittency has started to increase only in the last two decades, even if some pioneering studies were…

VLT observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS II. From quiescence to glow: Dramatic rise of Ni I emission and incipient CN outgassing at large heliocentric distances
We report VLT spectroscopy of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1) from $r_{\rm h}\!\simeq\!4.4$ to $2.85$ au using X-shooter (300-550 nm, $R\!\simeq\!3000$) and UVES (optical, $R\!\simeq\!35k-80k$). The coma is dust-dominated with a fairly constant red optical continuum slope ($\sim$21-22\%/1000Å). At $r_{\rm h}\!\simeq\!3.17$ au we derive $3σ$ limits of $Q({\rm OH})<7.76\times10^{23}\ {\rm s^{-1}}$, but find no indications for [O I], C$_2$, C$_3$ or NH$_2$. We report detection of CN …

this is how git-pages / grebedoc handled an 1.2 Gbps peak of egress just now: a blip
(nb: the p99 is inflated by slow clients, since this particular chart shows request times as long as the client drags them out)

The Air Force needs to be prepared to fight against an adversary like China
in a highly contested environment where no side enjoys consistent air superiority.
A major part of the recent training involved the Space Force
and simulating how enemy forces would use space-based capabilities and technologies, like satellites and sensors,
in a potential high-end conflict.
Other components, like maintaining communications and command and control elements, were tested a…

US Air Force underwent a massive stress test in the Pacific
The exercise, the largest scale in the Pacific since the Cold War, looked at managing airpower across contested environments.

Was the almost endless protection of "exercise of religion" and the now almost dead "establishment of religion" clauses in our First Amendment a mistake?
I think it is.
We have seen and are seeing the extremes of fundamentalist religion: Al Queda, ISIS, MAGA, etc
Israel has its own fundamentalist problems too. (Link below).
It has been said "never let a good crisis go to waste". Well, we certainly have several good crises going on.

As Other Israelis Die in War, Ultra-Orthodox Resist Call to Fight
Ultra-Orthodox Israelis, exempt for decades from military service, are now being drafted. Their rage is dividing Israel and threatening Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition.

This is the second year that I’m teaching a short session on Open Science and Reproducibility with Quarto, GitHub, and R for students in the European Doctoral School of Demography (EDSD) programme (by @…, INED, EAPS, and others).
This year, I demoed everything in Positron (Posit PBC), switching back to RStudio only occasionally. I also made a point to discuss a…

LiteBIRD Science Goals and Forecasts. $E$-mode Anomalies
Various so-called anomalies have been found in both the WMAP and Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature data that exert a mild tension against the highly successful best-fit 6 parameter cosmological model, potentially providing hints of new physics to be explored. That these are real features on the sky is uncontested. However, given their modest significance, whether they are indicative of true departures from the standard cosmology or simply statistical excursions, due to a mild…
