For Donald Trump, it’s always personal.

First, the US supreme court rejected his effort to restrict mail-in ballots ahead of the midterm elections.
“These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court,”
the president wrote on his Truth Socialplatform. “They are merely a shell of their original selves.”
Then the Federal Reserve defied Trump by raising its benchmark interest rate by a quarte…

Today, that is €2.61, while in real life, people pay an average of €2.33.
It's not because it's hard to find the average.

The Butterfly Defect Effect in Cylindrical Shell Buckling: Non-localized Interactions of Localized Imperfections
Uba K. Ubamanyu, Antoine Blond, John W. Hutchinson, Pedro M. Reis
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.19245 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.19245 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.19245
arXiv:2607.19245v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We investigate the buckling of axially compressed cylindrical shells containing localized defects, focusing on interactions among multiple defects and between them and the shell edges. Using high-fidelity finite-element simulations, we first characterize the parameter space of single-dimple sensitivity, defect-edge coupling, and pairwise defect-defect interactions. Building on this deterministic baseline, we run stochastic simulations of shells with randomly distributed imperfections whose amplitudes are sampled from a log-normal distribution. Post-buckling deformations form non-axisymmetric, butterfly-shaped patterns whose `wings' reach far across the shell surface. This spatial extent induces unavoidable interactions with neighboring defects and the clamped edges, so that buckling is not necessarily initiated by the deepest defect. A larger defect population raises the likelihood of an extreme defect, producing a statistical size effect: as the mean number of defects grows, the mean knockdown factor decreases asymptotically and its variability decays exponentially. The butterfly defect effect qualitatively explains the scatter in historical experimental data by correlating the knockdown factor with the cylinder length-to-thickness ratio ($H/t$) rather than the radius-to-thickness ratio ($R/t$) alone, thereby establishing $H$ as a key parameter for stability alongside $R$ and $t$. Nonetheless, the knockdown factors obtained here remain well above those reported in historical experiments, indicating that the localized Gaussian dimple, though nearly the worst-case imperfection for spherical shells, is not so for cylinders.

DefoEye: Python-Based Software for Facilitating Time-Series InSAR Analysis of Sentinel-1 Remote-Sensing Data
Alireza Taheri Dehkordi, Hossein Hashemi, Amir Naghibi
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.04915 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.04915 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.04915

Abstract: Many existing time-series Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (TS-InSAR) software tools have limitations, including restricted geographic applicability, commercial licensing, and incomplete end-to-end processing support. Although GMTSAR avoids some of these constraints, it still requires substantial manual intervention and C-shell commands, lacks a user-friendly graphical interface, and omits important steps such as interferogram network pruning and anchoring of unwrapped interferograms. This paper introduces DefoEye (v1), an open-source Python-based software package that wraps GMTSAR and provides a unified, user-friendly TS-InSAR workflow for Sentinel-1 data. DefoEye supports parallel job execution, interferogram network pruning, and multiple anchoring options. Its performance was evaluated from 2020 to 2024 in four regions with different geological settings, deformation mechanisms, and atmospheric and climatic conditions. In Bologna, Italy; Gotland, Sweden; and Houston, USA, DefoEye results were compared with observations from 10 GNSS stations and showed strong agreement, with RMSE values of 4.3-11.9 mm and Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.63-0.95. In Karaj, Iran, where GNSS observations were unavailable, DefoEye was compared with other widely used processing tools and achieved similarly close agreement, with an RMSE of 4.8 mm/yr and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.98. These results demonstrate that DefoEye provides reliable TS-InSAR products for geological, hydrological, and environmental applications.

On the way back I discovered this stone sculpture and it SO reminded me of the places of power in #witcher3.

It's been a beautiful tour that I extended rather spontaneously. But I haven't been to such a frequented summit recently. But I wasn't surprised. So all cool.
