Since mid-January, this Orange Pi Zero 3 has been searching for binary radio pulsars in Arecibo data via Einstein@Home. ~42k BOINC credits so far. ARM devices get BRP workunits keeping Arecibo's legacy alive, one work unit at a time. Passively cooled, zero maintenance.

✅ Got PyTorch XPU running on my Intel Arc A770 on Fedora 43. The key missing piece: you need both oneapi-level-zero (loader) AND intel-compute-runtime (driver) from the Fedora repos, plus source oneAPI's setvars.sh before launching Python. #PyTorch #IntelArc #Linux #Fedora #MachineLearning

The Next Frontier of Disinformation: Malicious AI Swarms
Unlike the rigid botnets of the past, swarms of LLM agents can coordinate continuously and autonomously, adapt to human feedback in real-time, and infiltrate communities to manufacture artificial consensus.

Calling on all forest disturbance experts: Please consider contributing to our study on global forest disturbance change, and help resolve the nuances of changing forest disturbance regimes. More details and survey here: www.lss.ls.tum.de/edfm/disturb...
🚗💨 Exhaust gases are no longer the most important emission factor from motor vehicles by far when it comes to particulate matter. This is shown by a large-scale study carried out by TU Graz for the FVV eV. in Germany.

It's frustrating that we are getting technologies that really will transform our lives, and we should be thinking carefully about what that means, but the possibility of thoughtful discussion is being squelched by a stream of soul-crushing visions and wild hyperbole coming from Silicon Valley.
Co-hosting this session at #EGU2026 and we're looking for YOUR research! 🌱
