Australia once had giant kangaroos — here's what experts think happened to them
A new peer-reviewed study has found that, unlike modern kangaroos, the extinct marsupial megafauna Protemnodon were less mobile, which they believe, along with a change in climate, led to their extinction.

"You can tell what happened — Google promised iNaturalist free money if they would just do something, anything, that had some generative AI in it. iNaturalist forgot why people contribute at all, and took the cash."

iNaturalist is a website that crowdsources pictures of plants and animals to help identify species. Its tagline is “A Community for Naturalists.” iNaturalist is administered by its own small charit…

Die ganzen Kanaillen, die jetzt mit Inbrunst Daten zu den Faschisten von Palantir rüberschaufeln wollen, haben, wenn ihnen dann das BVerfG auf die Schnauze gibt, hoffentlich den Anstand, die Daten eigenhändig und restlos wiederzubeschaffen und sich, falls dies nicht möglich ist, selbst zu guillotinieren. Ich will nämlich nicht glauben, daß wir von Leuten regiert werden, die sowas schamlos machen und sich ins Fäustchen lachen, weil sie keine Verantwortung für die Folgen tragen müssen.

Freut ihr euch auch schon auf euer nächstes BarCamp? Meines wird hoffentlich das #bcfl25 #BarCampFlensburg2025

at the very end of tulip season I allowed myself to cut a bouquet. having it on my desk might have been a mistake - I got utterly and completely hypnotized by the way how the wind in the tree outside my window that is filtering the sunlight coming in made them look differently from split second to split second. so hard to look away. so many pictures taken. so many decisions to make. but now tulip season is truly over.
which one do you like better, and why?

Communication Architecture for Autonomous Power-to-X Platforms: Enhancing Inspection and Operation With Legged Robots and 5G
Inspection and maintenance of offshore platforms are associated with high costs, primarily due to the significant personnel requirements and challenging operational conditions. This paper first presents a classification of Power to X platforms. Building upon this foundation, a communication architecture is proposed to enable monitoring, control, and teleoperation for a Power to X platform. To reduce the demand for human labor, a robotic system is integrated to autonomously perform inspection an…
