Glad to see any rumblings life from the mainest of mainstream media, even if it is just one person doing a commencement speech.
I’m sure there are a lot of journalists out there who’d love to show a whole lot more teeth than their bosses let them. https://journa.host/@samlitzinger/114579635074536270

The Impact of Radial Migration on Disk Galaxy SFHs: II. The Role of bar strength, disk thickness, and merger history
Reconstructing the star formation history (SFH) of disk galaxies is central to understanding their growth and evolution, yet such estimates can be strongly biased by stellar radial migration - the redistribution of angular momenta over cosmic time. Using 186 Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) analogues from the TNG50 cosmological simulation, we compare star formation rates (SFRs) inferred from present-day stellar positions with those based on stellar birth radii to quantify the magnitude, spati…

Jeszcze krótka historyjka, zanim wyjdziemy na szlak.

Jak podjechaliśmy nocą we mgle, to poza strzałką w stronę parkingu nie było widać budek, gdzie się płaci - więc żona poszła poszukać. Po dłuższej chwili wraca, dogadała się po angielsku z parkingowym gdzie wjechać i zdziwiliśmy się, że ktoś w Norwegii pracuje po drugiej w nocy.

Podjeżdżam pod okienko i tam już wita mnie "Dobry wieczór!" - okazało się, że na nocce siedzi student informatyki z Gdańska, na tym zimnym i su…

“Many State Offices are concerned that Starlink proposals may be the lowest bid and alternative proposals may not be within the 15% window for consideration. What this analysis presents is that across many geographic areas Starlink may not be a qualified bidder as it may be unable to attain the required 100/20 Mbps service level (and, in deploying Starlink services, may actually degrade pre-existing users’ services to the point that they no longer receive minimal broadband speeds).”

Comparing OCR Pipelines for Folkloristic Text Digitization
The digitization of historical folkloristic materials presents unique challenges due to diverse text layouts, varying print and handwriting styles, and linguistic variations. This study explores different optical character recognition (OCR) approaches for Slovene folkloristic and historical text digitization, integrating both traditional methods and large language models (LLMs) to improve text transcription accuracy while maintaining linguistic and structural integrity. We compare single-stage …

Remarkable.
I visited Budapest not too long ago and ••loved•• the place. I had trouble while there parsing or even perceiving all the layers of Orbanism and cosmopolitanism and Hungarian-ness. I could tell that there were strong undercurrents invisible to me, both oppressive and liberatory. And I had a sense that yes, it was a city where a march like this was just beneath the surface everywhere, every day.
Watch a few seconds the video for a sense of scale.

When somebody is harmed by police or ICE or whatever thugs this awful wave of fascism unleashes on us, and when you hear that that person deserved it, or that the harm just sort of magically •happened• but nobody •did• it, ask:
“Says who? How do we know?”
“•Who• caused the harm? Does the language the police are using hide the actor?”
“Did that story come from anyone beside a cop?”
“Could they have made this up? Does it sound like all the other stories we now •know• they just made up?”
“Are the reporters who brought me this news asking •any• of these questions? Or do I have to do it all myself?”
Believe with caution.

The Impact of Radial Migration on Disk Galaxy SFHs: I. Biases in Spatially Resolved Estimates
Knowledge of the spatially resolved star formation history (SFH) of disk galaxies provides crucial insight into disk assembly, quenching, and chemical evolution. However, most reconstructions, both for the Milky Way and for external galaxies, implicitly assume that stars formed at their present-day radii. Using a range of zoom-in cosmological simulations, we show that stellar radial migration introduces strong and systematic biases in such SFH estimates. In the inner disk (R < h_d), early star …
