The studio has brought on an outside law firm to investigate the allegations, which have also been alerted to the SEC.

Today was one of the rare occasions when I bought gas (petrol) for my plugin hybrid car. I went to the local Shell station to use its car wash as a great deal of salt is being put on the road recently and I wanted to protect the car, if I could.
When I got home I checked out the Shell webpage and found this item

LNG Canada | Shell Canada
LNG Canada, the largest private-sector energy investment in Canada’s history and the country’s first liquefied natural gas export facility, is located in Kitimat, British Columbia, in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation.

Cool thing of NixOS. You need a package temporarily (i.c. wget), run 'nix-shell -p wget" and after some brief magic you can use it in that session. So that Crux iso came down very smoothly.

The two Dutch gas storages of NAM, operated by Gasterra (Shell/Exxon/Dutch government) are now completely empty: filling level 0.00%. The reason given is the winding down of Gasterra, which used to sell the Groningen gas. But one would say that a new operator could have bought the remaining gas.

Oh, so all of these MAGA shops that made 86 46 shirts, hats, stickers, etc. wanted to kill Joe Biden?

Calibrations for the Sasaki volume on odd spheres and the no-gap problem
Jonas Matuzas
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.22961 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22961 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22961
arXiv:2602.22961v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: For each odd sphere $S^{n}$ with $n=2m 1\ge 5$, we consider the Sasaki volume functional $\mathrm{Vol}^S(V)=\int_{S^{n}}\sqrt{\det(I (\nabla V)^{\top}(\nabla V))}\,d\mathrm{vol}$ on smooth unit tangent vector fields $V$. Using the Brito--Chacon--Naveira calibration $\omega=a\wedge\Theta$ on the unit tangent bundle $E=UTS^{n}$, we establish the universal calibrated lower bound $\mathrm{Vol}^S(V)\ge c(m;1)\,\mathrm{vol}(S^{n})$, where $c(m;1)=4^{m}/\binom{2m}{m}$. In the relaxed (integral-current) setting, we show that the section-constrained stable mass in $E$ equals the calibration value and is attained by an $\omega$-calibrated mass-minimizing integral $n$-cycle in the section class.
We also analyze the equality case on smooth graphs. If a smooth graph is $\omega$-calibrated on an open set, then it satisfies the rigidity system $\nabla_V V=0$ and $\nabla_X V=\lambda X$ for all $X\perp V$, hence is locally a radial distance-gradient field. In particular, for $m\ge 2$ there is no smooth unit field on $S^n$ whose graph is $\omega$-calibrated everywhere.
Finally, we construct an explicit smooth recovery sequence (presented in detail for $S^5$ and then extended to all odd dimensions) and prove a uniform nonvanishing estimate for the polar-shell normalization in the patching construction. As a consequence, $\inf_{V}\,\mathrm{Vol}^S(V)=c(m;1)\,\mathrm{vol}(S^{n})$, so there is no Lavrentiev gap.

Not sure Bazzite is going to work as a real Linux distro. They want me to use homebrew to install shell utilities?! WTF? I guess this is an immutable distro and they don't want users installing random packages on the system. So instead it's homebrew (just for the user) or distrobox (a virtual environment?).
Homebrew is terrible, the #1 reason I stopped using MacOS. Debian works fine for me and my single user Linux boxes, but I can see why the atomic distro approach has its advantages.

So I copy the code over to the project, fix it and while at it, rename it to "jinja" and adjust a bit.
But then, highlighting Jinja expressions alone looks pretty bleak, so let's combine it with YAML… Hmm, that actually doesn't work that well, needs some more adjustments. And before you know it, I have a pretty new Jinja highlighter, and a recipe highlighter that combines Jinja expressions, YAML, v0 recipe selectors, v1 if:/skip: conditions, and also highlighting shell / cmd variables for a good measure.

RE: https://flipboard.social/@ScienceDesk/116449255966946249
I wonder if it's these trees responsible for the OLD JIZZ stench on Derby Road, up towards the QMC after the Shell roundabout.

Why this is all relevant to the OP is that there is actually nothing preventing us from exploiting these same vulnerabilities (and doing so far more effectively). The (illusion of The) Satanic Temple has already given us some vision of what that could look like. We can imagine a religious institution that actually challenges power in the way TST claims to do. We could imagine an institution that is more radical. We could imagine an institution so dangerous it actually forces the state to choose between it's own survival and alienating liberals by (more) visibly clamping down on freedom of religion.
One could imagine an anarchist or solar punk religion that intentionally builds an alternative society within the shell of the old, one that recognizes the validity of other religious sects (like, for example, Quakers) who are doing similar things.
While there is a very interesting spiritual element to #CultPunk. I think there's also a very interesting set of radical opportunities that we have long since ignored....

Implementation of the multigrid Gaussian-Plane-Wave algorithm with GPU acceleration in PySCF

https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.24881 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.24881 https://arxiv.org/html/2603.24881
arXiv:2603.24881v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We introduce a GPU-accelerated multigrid Gaussian-Plane-Wave density fitting (FFTDF) approach for efficient Fock builds and nuclear gradient evaluations within Kohn-Sham density functional theory, as implemented in the GPU4PySCF module of PySCF. Our CUDA kernels employ a grid-based parallelization strategy for contracting Gaussian basis function pairs and achieve up to 80% of the FP64 peak performance on NVIDIA GPUs, with no loss of efficiency for high angular momentum (up to f-shell) functions. Benchmark calculations on molecules and solids with up to 1536 atoms and 20480 basis functions show up to 25x speedup on an H100 GPU relative to the CPU implementation on a 28-core shared memory node. For a 256-water cluster, the ground-state energy and nuclear gradients can be computed in ~30 seconds on a single H100 GPU. This implementation serves as an open-source foundation for many applications, such as ab initio molecular dynamics and high-throughput calculations.

We have a revolutionary moment in our hands. I cannot express strongly enough how important it is to seize this moment.
We must *build* an alternative society, starting by drawing people in and giving them opportunities to create a better future. We cannot win with logical arguments, because people are not logical. We must demonstrate, through experience, what we mean when we talk about liberation, autonomy, and mutual aid. We must create the new world in the shell of the old, here and now, so people can understand what it is we are fighting for. This is our best opportunity, right now, to reach out while the window is wide open.
If we miss this opportunity, we may not get another.

'You Can’t Live Without Us': How Big Oil Pivoted from Climate-friendly Messaging to Normalise Dependence on Fossil Fuels  
Four of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies have spent the last four years systematically shifting away from climate-friendly advertising to push a new message: fossil fuels are here to stay, a report has found.  Campaign group Clean Creatives analysed 1,859 communications from BP, Shell, ExxonMobil, and Chevron published between 2020 and 2024, spanning paid advertisements on Facebook, YouTube, […]

Attempting to use arch, btw, in a VM for the first time (to set up a ngscopeclient CI builder).
Coming from Debian... wow this is not a noob distro lol. So far I've had to manually partition the disk in a shell, configure everything from the keymap to the time zone by editing config files or creating symlinks. There's no top level install tool as far as I can tell.
And grub didn't auto detect anything so now I have I think a fully installed system but I'm stuck in…

This newly processed image from the NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope is the clearest view yet of the #EggNebula: #PreplanetaryNebula, a structure of gas and dust created as a Sun-like star approaches the end of its life. The Egg that we see now will eventually hatch, revealing a white dwarf at its centre and leaving its shell to become a spectacular planetary nebula.

Running legacy services directly on a public IP is a mess in 2026.
I've got a toy project listening on :23 (Telnet) and :22 (SSH), on a public IP. I've only shared this information with a few friends. Scanners are finding it.
I had to put a “enter nnnn at the prompt" on the Telnet port.
Tonight's new abuse: one SSH connection but MANY session channels within that connection, probing for accounts (on a system that is not serving login/shell on this ssh port)…

So far, so good. Getting ready to tackle the Phantom Forest in FF6 (about 4.5 hours in) and everything is proceeding smoothly. No issues with SRAM or the EPROM. Also, FF6 is so very, very good...

🥳 New JavaScript Database (JSDB) release
• Fix: Now properly handling array indices on `JSTable.PERSIST` events in the `keypath` property that’s passed to the event handler.
Just noticed that the pretty keypaths of the JavaScript deltas written to the append-only log were ignoring array indices while playing with a new database introspection call I’m adding to the Kitten Interactive Shell (REPL) and fixed it.
I’ll be updating Kitten shortly to use this version of JSDB and I…

Zena Linux, that bootc container image with Mangowc and Niri, is humming along nicely. Finally spending some time to clean up configs for both wm's. And Fastfetch to do also 😜

Still not feeling great, but figured today would be a great day to finally test out the entirety of the custom FF6 cart I built so long ago. Broke out the Sony PVM-2530, got everything hooked up, and now it's time to beat all of the things down.
The SNES is modded with Voultar's SNESRGB mod, and the video/audio goes out via a SCART connector into the SCART switch (`gscart`), then into the CMPTR adapter, _then_ into the Sony PVM.
I do have two SCART switches, and if you…

Just ran a successful non-interactive build and test cycle of ngscopeclient in a Debian VM with a PCIe passthrough GPU.
Just start the VM from the snapshot, paste a handful of shell commands into a SSH session, and I get this.
Still need to work out how to actually spawn the VM, specify the hash I want to build, shut it down and revert when done, etc.
Took only three and a half minutes on this instance (16GB RAM, 16 vCPU, GTX 1630) which is pretty decent considering there w…

What I was talking about previously. This is exactly what I wanted 😎 Zena is a bootc-based, immutable Linux desktop with the Cachy kernel, Niri, MangoWC, and Dank Material Shell. Even more importantly: it uses an adaptation of the Nix pkg manager (Zix) to install applications (next to Flatpaks and Distrobox). Wow!

Right, that'll be the 30pin panel connector then - you can see the two differential data pairs and the aux pair on the right side; and a couple of damn fine cables going to the panel itself. And ooh test points.
