I går vid Arctic Circle Assembly: Grönlands digitala sårbarhet. Endast 35 journalister, Facebook som offentligt rum, infrastruktur ägd av andra. När vinden vänder är demokratin bara så god som den digitala infrastruktur vi byggt i lugna tider.

Powiem tylko tyle: nie chcę wiedzieć, jakie to uczucie obudzić się dzisiaj rano gdzieś na Lubelszczyźnie i zobaczyć, że kawałek mojego domu i fura zostały uszkodzone, bo jakieś bzyczące latające gówno (albo odłamki, ale to nieistotne) spadło mi na posesję.
I że to latające gówno mogło równie dobrze spaść mi na głowę. Albo komuś z rodziny.
Nie wiem, jaką sieczkę miałbym teraz pod kopułą, gdybym był na tym miejscu.
That's it, that's the toot.

I Know Who Clones Your Code: Interpretable Smart Contract Similarity Detection
Widespread reuse of open-source code in smart contract development boosts programming efficiency but significantly amplifies bug propagation across contracts, while dedicated methods for detecting similar smart contract functions remain very limited. Conventional abstract-syntax-tree (AST) based methods for smart contract similarity detection face challenges in handling intricate tree structures, which impedes detailed semantic comparison of code. Recent deep-learning based approaches tend to o…

Orbital Period Changes of Recurrent Nova U Scorpii Demonstrate that M$_{\rm ejecta}$=26$\times$M$_{\rm accreted}$ and Is Not a Type Ia Supernova Progenitor
Recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco) is one of the prototypes for a Type Ia supernova progenitor. The logic is that the white dwarf is near the Chandrasekhar mass and gas is accumulating onto its surface at a near-maximal accretion rate, so it will soon increase its mass to the supernova trigger. But the white dwarf loses mass every nova eruption, so the issue is balancing the mass ejected ($M_{\rm ejecta}$) against the mass accreted between eruptions ($M_{\rm accreted}$). Measuring $M_{\rm accrete…

Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites Discovered in Carina, Phoenix, and Telescopium with DELVE Data Release 3
We report the discovery of three Milky Way satellite candidates: Carina IV, Phoenix III, and DELVE 7, in the third data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE). The candidate systems were identified by cross-matching results from two independent search algorithms. All three are extremely faint systems composed of old, metal-poor stellar populations ($τ\gtrsim 10$ Gyr, [Fe/H] $ \lesssim -1.4$). Carina IV ($M_V = -2.8;\ r_{1/2} = 40 {\rm pc}$) and Phoenix III ($M_V = -1.2;\ …

The fact that the public can’t be sure whether the John Bolton investigation is legitimate
highlights the current crisis of trust in federal law enforcement,
a crisis that has been exacerbated by the words and actions of Trump and members of his administration.
The F.B.I.’s history shows that public trust is easily lost and difficult to rebuild — a lesson that we may have to (re)learn.

Opinion | John Bolton, Trump and the Crisis of Trust in Federal Law Enforcement
If the F.B.I. is seen as a tool of retribution, it will come at the expense of its effectiveness in the long run.

C60 fullerene as an on-demand single photon source at room temperature
Single photon sources are fundamental for applications in quantum computing, secure communication, and sensing, as they enable the generation of individual photons and ensure strict control over photon number statistics. However, current single photon sources can be limited by a lack of robustness, difficulty of integration into existing optical or electronic devices, and high cost. In this study, we present the use of off-the-shelf \ch{C60} fullerene molecules embedded in polystyrene as room-t…

Orbital Period Changes in Recurrent Nova T Corona Borealis Prove That It Is Not a Type Ia Supernovae Progenitor
T Corona Borealis (T CrB) is a recurrent nova and a symbiotic star that is commonly highlighted as the best case for being a progenitor of a Type Ia supernova (SNIa) within the framework of single-degenerate models. This exemplar can be tested by measuring whether the white dwarf (WD) mass ($M_{\rm WD}$) is increasing over each eruption cycle. This is a balance between the mass ejected during each nova event ($M_{\rm ejecta}$) and the mass accreted onto the WD between the nova events ($M_{\rm a…
