Ethereum übersteigt 4000 Euro zum ersten Mal seit 2021
ETFs investieren Milliarden US-Dollar in Ethereum. Der Kurs steigt seit Wochen erheblich; die Bitcoin-Dominanz sinkt allmählich.

Heh yes. Pretty much this.
"Much more will be written about proposals to build massive undersea walls to hold up Antarctic ice sheets, drill bore holes in Greenland to pump out lubricating meltwater, or scatter glass beads over glaciers. As informed and erudite I'm sure this will be, I don't think it will be as effective as simply yelling "What the hell do you think you are doing?!”"

Carpenter called away to an emergency leak elsewhere today. Trouble with having a carpenter who is also a plumber I guess. 😆
The frames for the window doors look to be mostly completed, the doors that will make the blinds are up (though probably presumably will come down again to have mirrors attached? Maybe?). Lots of holes in wood filled. Stupid natural products. MDF don't have no holes, or grain at all.
Trying to render an image big enough to fill the wall there. 2m x 1m. Keeps crashing my machine. Going to have to try and render it in bits or something.

Machine Learning Confirms GW231123 is a "Lite" Intermediate Mass Black Hole Merger
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration recently reported GW231123, a black hole merger with total mass of around 190-265 solar mass. This event adds to the growing evidence of "lite" intermediate mass black hole (IMBH) discoveries of post-merger black holes >100 solar mass. GW231123 posed several data analysis challenges owing to waveform-model systematics and presence of noise artifacts called glitches. We present the first comprehensive machine learning analysis to further validate this event, st…

It's officially autumn as today was the #VSCC Welsh weekend with the hill climb at Cwm Whitton. We've been going for more then 20 years - that's even since before our son was born. He was probably there in utero. The cars have to get up the slope - dry this year so much easier - then round the corner they have to stop and do a hill start, to a round of applause if they make it. We always …

Ultralight Boson Ionization from Comparable-Mass Binary Black Holes
Ultralight bosons around comparable-mass binaries can form gravitationally bound states analogous to molecules once the binary separation decreases below the boson's Bohr radius, with the inner region co-moving with the binary. We simulate the formation of these gravitational molecules, determine their co-moving regions, and compute ionization fluxes induced by orbital motion for various binary eccentricities. We develop semi-analytic formalisms to describe the ionization dynamics of both the c…

Challenging a binary neutron star merger interpretation of GW230529
GW230529_181500 represented the first gravitational-wave detection with one of the component objects' mass inferred to lie in the previously hypothesized mass gap between the heaviest neutron stars and the lightest observed black holes. Given the expected maximum mass values for neutron stars, this object was identified as a black hole, and, with the secondary component being a neutron star, the detection was classified as a neutron star-black hole merger. However, due to the low signal-to-nois…
