Late in 2024, Elon Musk endorsed Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland. We document that after this, Tesla sales rose by up to 30 percent in right-leaning districts relative to left-leaning ones [..] Divestment in second-hand markets shows no partisan differences, consistent with resale requiring a larger identity cost from Tesla’s image shock than non-purchase. Our lower bound-estimate for the overall loss in Tesla sales is [..] worth at least €241 million."

Panel (a) reports event-study estimates using new registrations of other electric vehicle
brands as the outcome variable. Panel (b) examines political polarization in private Tesla listings on a large second-hand market.
Two maps of Germany at district level: The left panel shows the change in new Tesla registrations by district between the first half of 2024 and the first half of 2025. The right panel shows district-level vote shares for the Alternative for Deutschland in the 2021 federal election.
The upper panel shows event study estimates of the Alternative for Deutschland vote shares in the 2021 federal election on new Tesla registrations. The lower panel shows event study estimates of the Green Party vote share in the 2021 federal election on new Tesla registrations.

Extreme close-up of yours truly (generic white passing guy with shaved head, stubble, and black-rimmed glasses) looking slightly off camera with a smirk on his face. Is he deep in thought? Is he constipated? I guess we’ll never know.
Same guy. Looks a bit more puzzled. His mouth is open. Maybe he’s about to say something profound. Or maybe he just realised he left the oven on. Either way, hope he doesn’t catch any flies.
Now he’s serious. Looking straight into the camera. Very intense. Like how you’d confront a seagull that stole your chips.

Getting a jump start on #caturday, before I forget.

Single panel comic.
Saint Peter is standing at his kiosk in front of the Pearly Gates. The little halo above his head confirms his identity. In front of him a cat is sitting on a cloud. A fireman has climbed to the top of a ladder poking through the cloud, in front of the cat. He is holding out an opened can of cat food. The fireman is saying to the cat, “I don’t know how you got up here, but I’m here to help you down.”
Single panel cartoon.
A man is laying alone on a double bed, under covers up to his armpits. His phone is atop a side table at his left. There’s a small lamp atop a side table on the other side of the bed. A cat is sitting on the man’s chest looking at him. The cat is saying, “You’re in my personal space.”

I have the desire to potter about with plants and get my new raised fruit/veg bed sorted out but apart from the blistering temperatures I've picked up a completely flattening virus from a colleague so I don't have the energy. I keep falling asleep when I sit down. I've put some nasturtium seedlings into a planter, moved the radish planter to the veg area and helped move a couple of bits into our summer seating area and that's me done.

Paved summer seating area seen from above, dominated by a huge turquoisey parasol. Nasturtiums bottom left, fig on the paving stones that are keeping the parasol in place, olive having a quick drink in the pale plastic basin right of centre. There's a young walnut tree in a pot hiding behind the parasol and several planters of pollinator-friendly plants.

So, I have judged C `std::unordered_map` for a quite a few years, but it appears that many of the performance issues were kinda resolved.
Upon running both a full microbenchmark suite comparing it to equivalent in other languages, and benchmarking the logic engine I made with indices based upon it, performance hold up quite well!
Another questionable win for C I guess.

Benchmarks of 3 hash tables:

- the standard one on the left
- the bytell hashtable of Malte Skarupke in the middle
- the flat hash map of Malte Skarupke on the right

The results are very similar, with the bytell hashtable holding a very small advantage

arXiv:2603.24300v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this short note, we study dg categories with homotopy kernels, whose homotopy categories are known to admit a natural left triangulated structure. Prototypical examples of such dg categories arise as dg quotients of exact dg categories. We demonstrate that the stablization of the homotopy category of such a dg category admits a canonical dg enhancement via its bounded derived dg category.

Content warning: Minor spoilers for "A Psalm for the Wild-Built"

Just finished "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" by Becky Chambers. Overall it's good but I also have some Thoughts.
First, it was very pleasant to finally read some non-trite utopian solarpunk after having read stuff like Octavia Butler recently. Both hope and despair can be poisonous on their own IMO, so getting some balance in is nice. It's definitely a very valuable thing to be able to lay out an actually desirable and in many ways imaginable future given our grim present. Chambers is no LeGuin though. I'll probably be reading more of her work and maybe she fleshes out these ideas elsewhere, but at least in this book there is no focus on either how the transition to a better society could happen nor on how the better society holds up in the face of adverse events and inclinations. Compare LeGuin's "The Dispossessed" or N. K. Jemisin's short story "The Ones Who Stay and Fight" and it feels like there's something important missing from Chambers' portrait of a future society. Of course, maybe the point is to make a cozy book, in which case fine, there's certainly a place for such things, and I can look for deeper inspiration elsewhere.
The second big thought I had was that Chambers' worldview seems not well-informed by certain indigenous perspectives, and this creates some contradictions. For example, (minor spoilers) when Dex enters the wilderness there's a whole bit about understanding humankind's place in nature and how human settlements are what we're used to but they're only a brief interruption of the vast untouched wilderness. Along the same lines, much of the world is intentionally left untouched by humans as a way to keep it pristine and natural. Later however, a character makes the point that humans *are* animals. The indigenous perspective that I appreciate would agree with that, and would further question the value in distinguishing between human influence on ecosystems and influences that others have. More sharply, one might observe that there's a bigger difference between how different kinds of humans relate to and influence their environments than between how less-disruptive humans and various animals do the same: the strip-mine-operator vs. migrant tribesperson impact difference is probably much greater than the migrant tribesperson vs. beaver gap, for example. Rather than talking about limiting human disruption, then, as if all human-environment interactions are disruptive and must be minimized, we could/should be talking about how to create human societies that have beneficial relationships with their environments and acknowledging that we actually have many positive examples of that, both historical and contemporary. Chambers' utopia is a "humans dominate nature but restrain themselves so that their disruptions are minimal and thus nature can thrive" vision, but what I'd even more like to see would be a "humans study old ways and make new ones so that they can interact positively with ecosystems again" vision, including some of "here are the places that sometimes breaks down but also the patterns and institutions that ensure repair of those breakdowns and thus long-term sustainability."
Final big thought: Chambers' utopia is too homogenous for my tastes. Of course it's hard enough and valuable work dreaming up and sharing any utopia and Chambers' transcends triteness in a number of ways, so this criticism is a bit rude. But the single shared religion, lack of mention of conflicts around shared decisions, especially historical society-defining ones, and nagging questions like "what about the people indigenous to the now-uninhabited lands?" and "what about the indigenous peoples who weren't part of the factory-building societies?" leave me wishing for more nuance in this direction.
All in all: a good book, and I'm criticizing out of a place of appreciation, not scorn. I've got there sequel out from the library as well and will probably detour to a few other books but get to it pretty soon.
Sadly I don't remember who, but I got this one because of a recommendation on here, so thanks if you're someone who recommended it!

Two attempts to simply extrapolate the brightness of #Kreutz comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) from what happened in the past few weeks, from all visual observations reported to COBS (left) and from all CCD observations of the past month which would have the brightness climb a bit faster. But as the previous post in the thread has shown even in the geometrically preferred southern hemisphere MAPS is lost in twilight from about March 30 to April 7 - and even in the optimistic model the comet has reached only 6th magnitude when it is lost and is down again to 5th when it is recovered: unless something drastic would happen *all* hope for an interesting show rests on a possible post-perihelion dust tail. Good luck ...

A gravel path, slightly uneven and bordered by lush green grass, stretches into the distance, inviting the viewer to imagine a peaceful walk or bike ride. The path is flanked by vibrant meadows filled with tall grass and scattered wildflowers, adding texture and color to the landscape.
To the left of the path, there is a rustic wooden shed with a slanted roof, its weathered surface blending h…

I'd seen a lot of really great basketball shots done in high school gymnasiums with shockingly wide lenses and thought I'd try catching rebounds with a 55mm; those didn't work out but plays on my side of the net did; Cornell № 24 Josh Baldin holds the ball.

Content warning: Don't Pray for the Left (Parody)

I've long wanted to write something about the Nazi musician Tom MacDonald, whose recent song “Pray for the Left” was so outlandish that people enjoyed it for thinking it was a parody of itself. In that idea, I began rewriting the lyrics of that song, thinking I might some day make a cover but from the perspective of the left, that's what this post is about, tell me what you think:

A series of raucous Democratic contests with the potential to radically reshape New York City’s congressional delegation and push it further to the left.

Now, in the closing days of another primary season,

this time risking his political capital in a high-stakes bid to catapult fellow leftists to primary victories against the old Democratic guard.

The Senate will go on recess without voting on a reconciliation bill tied to the Department of Justice's $1.8 billion weaponization fund, according to reports on Thursday.
PunchBowl News reported that Sen. John Thune (R-ND) told senators the bill would be left unfinished while the lawmakers returned home for the Memorial Day holiday.
"House is expected to follow suit soon," Sherman wrote in a post on X.
