Pleased to see @fesshole reach 1k on Mastodon - it's tricky for us to build up followers here as we don't know anyone. If you can help by spreading us around that would be fab - and you'll enjoy it more too as Fesshole is best when replies are lively. Also follow @anon_opin for rotten opinions that are occasionally ok.

Мистический туман рассеялся и показался он - повелитель неба андский кондор/andean condor/Vultur gryphus.
На самом деле просто линза запотевшая была 😀.

Встретился после треккинга по леднику Perito Moreno; у меня была с собой камера, но не было телеобъектива. А он так позировал...

"In an effort to correct the research record, MIT has contacted arXiv to formally request that the paper be withdrawn:"

The Schroedinger paper. MIT confuses pre-prints with peer-reviewed papers and only wants to correct their reputational record not the research record.

Teurer Fahren

30 Jahre nach der Gründung der Deutschen Bahn AG ist das Netz kaputt. Fast alle wichtigen Bahnstrecken müssen saniert werden. Insgesamt 41 Korridore. Wie konnte das passieren? Das preisgekrönte Podcast-Team von "Teurer Wohnen" macht sich auf die Suche: Um die Weichen zu finden, die falsch gestellt wurden. Um zu verstehen, warum es in Deutschland viele teure Tunnel gibt, aber das Geld für die Instandhaltung des Schienennetzes nicht reicht. Teurer Fahren ist eine sechsteilige Story vom Podcast-Radio detektor.fm, radioeins vom rbb und vom SWR, erzählt vom Teurer Wohnen-Rechercheteam.

"The biggest mystery is not why arXiv succeeded. Rather, it’s how it wasn’t killed by vested interests intent on protecting traditional academic publishing."

Very interesting interview profile of Paul Ginsparg in WIRED narrating the history of arXiv:

Inside arXiv—the Most Transformative Platform in All of Science

Modern science wouldn’t exist without the online research repository known as arXiv. Three decades in, its creator still can’t let it go.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

I took this photo about 14 months ago while sailing past a remote community in coastal Patagonia. I remember at that time I was thinking "Oh man, what I'd give to spend a couple of weeks in that house". That thought never really went away........
