Oh good grief, this summary is both farcical and tragic: also, Trump has fucked air travel for at least the next two years, never mind automobiles and logistics. The supply chain shock will get as bad as 2022 within a couple of months—then keep getting worse.
Hello everyone,

title:
Earliest geometries: A cognitive investigation of Howiesons Poort engraved ostrich eggshells
Spectacular article: humans had known geometry apout 60k years ago. One can only speculate what they accomplished with this knowledge. But at least they preserved it and passed it on, on egg shells.
This article presents the first quantitative geometric and spatial analysis of engraved ostrich eggshell (EOES) fragments from the Howiesons Poort (HP) technocomplex of the African late Middle Stone Age (MSA), to evaluate whether the EOES demonstrates genuine formal structuring and visuo-spatial organization. By considering their ‘non-accidental properties’—such as curvature, parallelism, and co-termination—which remain consistent across different viewpoints, as well as their metric properties, including angular inclinations, based on empirical thresholds, we show that the HP dataset systematically employs salient geometric features. These features are combined and embedded through complex cognitive operations, including the iteration and alignment of parallel lines, rotation of lines generating intersections with variable angular openings, and translation of specific elements nested within organized spatial layouts. These engravings therefore constitute an early material expression of complex graphic representation, attesting to a species-specific human capacity for organizing geometric thought. Overall, the patterns reflect a system of rules through which Homo sapiens in the HP organized visual forms, revealing the cognitive foundations of structured graphic behavior.
Yesterday, I quickly put together a tutorial on how to replace ntfy.sh with a minimal, self-hosted XMPP server and published it as a GitHub Gist. Then I remembered I have a website and reworked it into two nice little posts:

Unsere neue Studie: die Erderwärmung hat sich ab 2015 erheblich beschleunigt. Die rote Kurve zeigt 10-Jahres-Trends, um je 1 Jahr versetzt; der letzte ist 2015-2024.
Die blaue Kurve zeigt den Trend vor und nach dem objektiv bestimmten change point, der zugehörige Unsicherheitsbereich ist hellblau.
Höchste Zeit, den Ausstieg aus fossilen Energien zu beschleunigen!

Wow Eliom + Wasm Of OCaml is released (thanks to the #ocsigen toolchain) !
https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/eliom-12-client-server-applications-in-web-assembly/17871
On behalf of the Ocsigen team, I am pleased to announce the release of Eliom 12. Following our recent release of wasm_of_ocaml, this version’s main feature is full support for Web Assembly. Eliom applications are now served by default as Web Assembly programs (with a JavaScript fallback). The default build system has been adapted accordingly. The Ocsigen Start template has also been updated. The new versions are available in opam. If you want to give it a try, please read the main documentatio...
