Inspector Smile is ready for science! 🫡 This is Smile’s first ultraviolet view showing an auroral substorm. With the ultraviolet camera now operational, Smile becomes the first spacecraft since 2008 to capture the full ring of northern lights around the north pole in ultraviolet light. 🔭 🧪 ☀️

This leads to a credibility gap: to put it crudely, why should anyone trust AI safety analysis when y'all are partying with SPECTER and cashing checks from Blofeld? Why should anyone take analysis of lone wolf/PLA misuse of open-weight models seriously when there's no similar analysis of XAI?

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I'm still so annoyed by this framing because like, god forbid that a group of people is working on understanding the fundamental nature of the universe, which is a major endeavor, and it's not happening on the scale of one human lifetime. The hubris!!!!!!!

Hugh Mangum, an photographer, travelled all across the US from the 1890s till his death in 1922s. Possibly ignoring segregation laws in some places he welcomed everybody in front of his camera. The results are fantastic. If only these photos could talk. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Ma...

If we lose the culture of openness in science and retreat to our wizard towers, ready to Dark Forest each other the moment we hear whispers of a good idea, I think that would be more of a net negative for science than any productivity gains from LLMs.

Exciting dark matter news from @lzdarkmatter.bsky.social ! We see one event consistent with a 248 keV nuclear recoil, in tension with our background model at 2.6 sigma. Paper is now available here: lz.lbl.gov/wp-content/u... 🧪⚛️

Our new results are out! We have observed a single nuclear recoil in our detector that we find difficult to explain with our background model. Could it be a hint of dark matter? It’s far too early to say, but it’s certainly intriguing! #darkmatter

With XENONnT we observed solar pp neutrinos via neutrino-electron scattering. With an exposure of 2.46 t x y and electron recoil energies from 1 keV to 140 keV (probing neutrinos with energies down to 17 keV) the measured flux is (10.2±2.0)x10^10 cm^-2 s^-1. Read more at: arxiv.org/abs/2608.29450

The solar pp flux estimated from the inference results. Top: The best-fit result is shown as a solid red point. Also plotted are results from combining GALLEX/GNO and SAGE, Borexino, and PandaX-4T. The prediction from the B16-GS98 solar model is indicated by a vertical grey dashed line. Bottom: Log likelihood ratio as a function of the solar pp-flux. Dashed lines indicate different significance levels.
