💥🇭🇺🗳️ WOW! 54.14% turnout by 1pm in Hungary’s historic election (vs 40.01% in 2022), where voters could end Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule. Massive participation, in line with independent pollsters’ predictions – who also predicted a massive opposition win. Polls close at 7pm.

Nice Sunday hike along the Lahn River near Weilburg. Found two exceptional slime moulds, the False Puffball. 🍄 #fungifriends

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

This researcher created a fictional illness, and fake studies funded by the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and University of the Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad.

LLMs warned people the illness was real.

Vance said he wants to help Orban “as much as I can” ahead of Hungary’s parliamentary elections on Sunday.

The irony klaxon exploded when he then accused Brussels of trying to interfere in the vote, describing it as “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference.”

I have some ideas for quite a few people who we should shoot to the Moon next (with a one-way ticket, of course).

In 1970, students in a fifth-grade class at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write a letter to someone they admired, asking them “What makes a good citizen?"

So 10yr old Joel Lipton wrote to Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz.

Joel got a reply.

Have been thinking a bit about how Trump may have accidentally spurred countries across the world to massively double down on home-grown renewable energy.

Green domestic energy production can now be much more successfully reframed as "energy sovereignty" and a necessity given global geopolitics.

Extrem zufrieden. Ich hätte es mir schon viel früher holen sollen. Ich benutze es nur für Fotometrie von Kometen über Tycho Tracker, derzeit noch im AltAz Modus. Der schwächste Komet derzeit hatte 17 mag. Das Teil ist das Geld mehr als wert.

Spain made history by meeting 100% of national electricity demand with renewable energy for nine hours, driven by strong wind output, abundant solar generation, and flexible grid management.

Paramount under the current ownership will simply kill off Star Trek as we know it. Giving people hope for a better future which has been Star Trek's whole thing is bad for people who support fascism. And that much is VERY obvious from the owners of Paramount. This is sad. The scaling back is bad.

Isotopic Evidence for a Cold and Distant Origin of the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS

Comments: In Review at Nature; March 6th 2026

Interstellar objects provide the only directly observable samples of icy planetesimals formed around other stars, and can therefore provide insight into the diversity of physical and chemical conditions occurring during exoplanet formation. Here we report isotopic measurements of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which reveal an elemental composition unlike any Solar System body. The water in 3I/ATLAS is enriched in deuterium, at a level of D/H = (0.95 +- 0.06)%, which is more than an order of magnitude higher than in known comets, while its range of 12C/13C ratios (141-191 for CO2 and 123-172 for CO) exceeds typical values found in the Solar System, as well as nearby interstellar clouds and protoplanetary disks. Such extreme isotopic signatures indicate formation at temperatures ≲30 K in a relatively metal-poor environment, early in the history of the Galaxy. When interpreted with respect to models for Galactic chemical evolution, the carbon isotopic composition implies that 3I/ATLAS accreted roughly 10-12 billion years ago, following an early period of intense star formation. 3I/ATLAS thus represents a preserved fragment of an ancient planetary system, and provides direct evidence for active ice chemistry and volatile-rich planetesimal formation in the young Milky Way.

High charges: In Germany, network fees, taxes and levies drive up the price.
You cannot really compare. In France you have state subsidies and the failure to factor in risk costs (such as disposal/accidents).
For me it is a risky technology with a problematic heritage for generations.

I don't argue about coal, which is becoming more and more less important in Germany (22%). The costs for nuclear (including taking care of the wastes) are making it too expensive in comparison to renewables.
