Australia's planning a Great Koala National Park to save koalas from habitat loss and climate change—but here's the catch: protection only works if forests stay connected.
The park will link fragmented habitats so koalas and other species can move and adapt. Conservationists are cautiously optimistic, though logging pressure and enforcement remain real concerns.

Great Koala National Park tests whether protected forests can stay connected
Founder’s Briefs: An occasional series where Mongabay founder Rhett Ayers Butler shares analysis, perspectives and story summaries. The case for Australia’s new Great Koala National Park rests on a practical point: koalas need more than scattered trees. They need connected habitat that can support populations over time. The national park, planned for the state of […]

Farm cat rests where farm cat pleases

It’s not pining, it’s passed on. This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot.
It’s a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn’t nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies.
It’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.

One of the views of a recent hike. After quite a while I reached the ridge and finally got the south bound views.
I took some photos while having a little rest and then went on to the summit ...
That day I really noticed how great the rests work together with making photos. And also one of the things that I can hardly do when hiking in a group.

Classical Acceptance Is Not Hybrid Authentication: Measuring X.509 Verifier Semantics in Post-Quantum Migration
Taesung Kim, Boheung Chung, Keonwoo Kim, Yousung Kang
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20800 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.20800 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.20800
arXiv:2607.20800v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A relying party validating a hybrid X.509 certificate --- carrying both a classical and a post-quantum credential --- must distinguish whether its accepting judgment rests on the post-quantum evidence or only on the classical path. To preserve compatibility, the separable designs place that evidence where classical path validation may ignore it. A verifier can then validate the classical path and accept while the post-quantum evidence never bears on the decision --- a valid classical result silently promoted to a hybrid conclusion it did not establish. We measure this across eight path-validation stacks (seven independent codebases), in nine validation modes, over six certificate schemes. Under a hybrid-required policy, nearly every stack parsing a separable hybrid certificate accepts on the classical path without making the post-quantum evidence outcome-bearing; one enforcing mode instead fractures interoperability over a signature-input encoding not yet interoperably profiled; and stacks that verify post-quantum signatures still do not enforce the binding by default: the gap is structural, not explained by missing primitive capability alone. Under lifecycle desynchronization the downgrade is realized: when a bound post-quantum credential is revoked while the classical certificate stays valid, the default path still accepts, because the bound credential lies outside the decision's scope. Binding success is not authentication success. We contribute a specification-derived verifier model and an executable, policy-parametric reference contract --- what a verifier must recognize, verify, make outcome-bearing, and check before reporting a validation as hybrid --- with a diagnosis of why standards do not require it.

One more photo from the trail that I posted about recently. The blooming heather always make sme smile. Especially when there aren't too many flowers around.
In such spost I'm always traying a bit what looks more interesting: a great vista, a plain trail shot, the heather in the foreground or a blurred foreground.
The advantage is: I always have little rests along the way :)

I don't take photos of animals often, but every now and then we are visiting the #TiergartenNürnberg and I bring the camera to see if I can capture a scene that's worth taking a photo.

Gradient Dynamics in First-Price Auctions: Iterative Strategy Elimination via Cubic Potentials
Mete \c{S}eref Ahunbay, Weiqiang Zheng, Tao Lin
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.05108 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.05108 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.05108
arXiv:2606.05108v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We show that in discretised first-price auctions with complete information, if the buyers learn to bid with online gradient ascent, in time-average the outcome is (almost) the efficient outcome of the second-price auction. Our proof rests on two novel innovations in the analysis of online gradient ascent in normal-form games, which may be useful in a wider range of applications. First, we develop a potential-function-based argument for the analysis of gradient ascent in normal-form games, allowing us to deduce that certain strategies will not be played in time-average. We provide sufficient conditions which ensure this argument can be applied iteratively, resulting in a procedure reminiscent of iterative elimination of dominated strategies. Second, we develop a novel class of cubic "candidate potential functions", classifying a family of quadratic strategy modifications on the probability simplex against which online gradient ascent incurs no regret.

Greets from today's #cycling loop. It's been a great time outside. Friendly cyclists, super views. Some rests to have a snack and refill water.
And at the end some cake 😋
