Der Besuch der #Banksy Sammlung in Bordeaux war dieses Jahr ein kulturelles Highlight. Jetzt hat er in London neue Bilder geschaffen. Ich erlaube mir die Interpretation, sie als einen positiven Fingerzeig auf das nächste Jahr zu deuten. 👉

Broadcoms VMware-Übernahme: EU-Kommission soll Warnsignale ignoriert haben
Der Cloud-Verband CISPE greift die EU-Kommission vor Gericht scharf an: Bei der Genehmigung der VMware-Akquisition durch Broadcom habe die Aufsicht versagt.

Happy to see resolution for this case of anti-health, anti-vax, quackery and grifting.
I believe most farmers are ethical and understand that disease within their flocks and herds can and do cause disease in other domestic and wild populations and those diseases are often what causes pandemics in humans.
Avian flu is a danger. Millions of birds have died because of it, and have been culled on other farms to try to control it.
Ostriches are no different.

Three Birds with One Stone: Core-Collapsed SIDM Halos as the Common Origin of Dense Perturbers in Lenses, Streams, and Satellites
We show that core-collapsed self-interacting dark matter halos of mass $\sim 10^6\,{M_\odot}$, originally simulated to explain the dense perturber of the GD-1 stellar stream, also reproduce the structural properties inferred for the dense perturber detected in the strong lensing system JVAS B1938+666 from radio observations. Furthermore, these halos are sufficiently compact and dense to gravitationally capture field stars in satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, providing a natural explanation f…

Binary $ZnSe:Fe^{2+}$ and ternary $ZnMgSe:Fe^{2+}$ optical crystals for mid-IR applications
In this study, binary $ZnSe:Fe^{2+}$ crystals and ternary $Zn_{1-x}Mg_{x}Se:Fe^{2+}$ crystals $(0 < x < 0.6)$ were grown by the vertical Bridgman method in graphite crucibles under high argon pressure. A comparative characterization of the structural, energetic, and optical parameters of the obtained crystals was performed. Theoretical explanations of the observed experimental characteristics, including the specific red-shift of the absorption and emission spectra with increasing solid-solution…

Icy or Rocky? Convective or Stable? New interior models of Uranus and Neptune
We present a new framework for constructing agnostic and yet physical models for planetary interiors and apply it to Uranus and Neptune. Unlike previous research that either impose rigid assumptions or rely on simplified empirical profiles, our approach bridges both paradigms. Starting from randomly generated density profiles, we apply an iterative algorithm that converges toward models that simultaneously satisfy hydrostatic equilibrium, match the observed gravitational moments, and remain the…

The formation of Gaia BH3
The Gaia collaboration announced the discovery of a massive black hole (BH) with a low-mass giant star companion, Gaia BH3, located in the ED-2 stellar stream. The properties of Gaia BH3 bridge the gap between known Milky Way BHs and extragalactic BHs found with gravitational waves (GWs). We aim to determine the most likely formation scenario for Gaia BH3 in the progenitor cluster of the ED-2 stream. We perform $N$-body simulations of that progenitor cluster and find that, most likely, Gaia BH3…
