Dear old Violet.
She'll be turning 13 in October, so she's kind of on borrowed time for a greyhound. She seems to have lost most of her vision now and is underweight, though her appetite is still huge and she still loves her walks.
She was once a terror for the local cats and squirrels but now if they remain still she doesn't spot them. She still sniffs every place that she remembers them to have been.

It's 90 Degrees in Atlanta (32C). My dog barked when the UPS truck stopped in front of my house. I went to the fridge and got an ice cold bottle of water. When the driver rang my doorbell, I gave him the bottle and he gave me my package. I looked out a minute later as I was walking past a front window and saw him seated, about ready to drive away, chugging the water. This wasn’t my first time, but I don’t do it enough. I need to do this more often.

Convergence in charmonium structure: light-front wave functions from basis light-front quantization and Dyson-Schwinger equations
We present a systematic comparison of charmonium light-front wave functions obtained through two complementary non-perturbative approaches: Basis Light-Front Quantization (BLFQ) and Dyson-Schwinger Equations (DSE). Key observables include the charge form factor, gravitational form factors, light-cone distribution amplitudes, decay constants, and two-photon transition form factors. Despite their distinct theoretical foundations and model parameters, the predictions from BLFQ and DSE exhibit rema…

ROBBO: An Efficient Method for Pareto Front Estimation with Guaranteed Accuracy
A new method to estimate the Pareto Front (PF) in bi-objective optimization problems is presented. Assuming a continuous PF, the approach, named ROBBO (RObust and Balanced Bi-objective Optimization), needs to sample at most a finite, pre-computed number of PF points. Upon termination, it guarantees that the worst-case approximation error lies within a desired tolerance range, predefined by the decision maker, for each of the two objective functions. Theoretical results are derived, about the wo…

Found the specs sheet.
The front camera and ultrawide camera seem to be considerably worse.
The normal wide camera seems to be better, except it lost the electronic stabilisation (not sure how important that is tbh).
The battery is better, but it needs a screwdriver to be changed so no more switch during the day if you don’t have a screwdriver always on you. This comes with no added water resistance, which makes me wonder why they did this.
The display seems to be worse? The resolution is smaller which makes sense since the size is smaller, but also it seems to have less PPI than the Fairphone 5. The refresh rate is higher tho.
It has worse USB-C connectivity as well, the Fairphone 6 has just USB 2.0 (!!!!) compared to 3.0 on the Fairphone 5.
They also got rid of the sky blue color (which was the prettiest imo) and of the transparent option.
I don’t really understand Qualcomm processors, but at least the new GPU seems to have a better benchmark score?

Collider-quality electron bunches from an all-optical plasma photoinjector
We present a novel approach for generating collider-quality electron bunches using a plasma photoinjector. The approach leverages recently developed techniques for the spatiotemporal control of laser pulses to produce a moving ionization front in a nonlinear plasma wave. The moving ionization front generates an electron bunch with a current profile that balances the longitudinal electric field of an electron beam-driven plasma wave, creating a uniform accelerating field across the bunch.
