Daylight Savings Time starts this weekend. I’m tired just thinking about it 😩 #daylightsavingstime #weird

Busy days, so I couldn’t watch the #AppleEvent, just quickly read some articles. I will try to watch it at the weekend. My first impression is that they haven’t fixed iPadOS, so the existing problem remains: super powerful hardware with an OS that can’t deliver all that power. I hope #Apple fix it soon.

Optimality-based reward learning with applications to toxicology
In toxicology research, experiments are often conducted to determine the effect of toxicant exposure on the behavior of mice, where mice are randomized to receive the toxicant or not. In particular, in fixed interval experiments, one provides a mouse reinforcers (e.g., a food pellet), contingent upon some action taken by the mouse (e.g., a press of a lever), but the reinforcers are only provided after fixed time intervals. Often, to analyze fixed interval experiments, one specifies and then est…

Jim Nantz defends Tony Romo from criticism: ‘Trying the best we can’
With Super Bowl LVIII hitting CBS this weekend, long-time play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz is getting ready to call the third Super Bowl of his career. He’ll do so alongside former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Romo, once hailed as the best new color commentator in the game, has faced a significant increase in criticism in recent seasons over his broadcasting style and tone. If the criticism of Romo has gotten under Nantz’s skin, the veteran isn’t showing it. Nantz joined the late…

Eine Studie der Wageningen Universität zeigt, warum der #Nordpol schneller erwärmt wird als erwartet. Es wurden Daten von einer #Forschungsreise im Arktischen Ozean genutzt. Demnach tragen Ozon und warme Luftströme wesentlich zur Erwärmung bei. Ozon wirkt als

Uncovering the reasons behind the rapid warming of the North Pole
The North Pole region heats up faster than the rest of the world. Though this is a known fact, climate models underestimate the speed with which the region warms up. Sjoert Barten obtained his PhD on this subject at Wageningen University & Research on 26 April and shares his insights.

Democracy Is Not a Spectator Sport
2024 Is a De Facto Constitutional Referendum.

OK, who forgot to tell the weather that it's a Bank Holiday weekend and that by all the known laws of gods and men it's supposed to be wet & miserable.
In fact it's been beautifully sunny and warm and we've spent the day being decadently lazy. We met up with some friends for coffee and lunch at Cedar Farm near Ormskirk - a place full of beautiful (and expensive!) art, jewellery, ceramics and the like.
Then popped over to Formby to try to spot red squirrels but they must have all been in their nests raising babies.
And we've spent the evening sitting in the garden keeping the cat company.
All in all a very twee and middle class Bank Holiday Sunday, but oh so relaxing.

Gibt es am Alexanderplatz nicht extra dagegen diese Polizeiwache?
Oder sind die nur für die Radfahrer zuständig, Frau Slowik und Spranger?
