Is that how actual streaming studios look like?

@vicgrinberg

I was already googling "pro streaming cam" and "LED light panel"...

@vicgrinberg

Yep, I have that impression from some streamers, there are so many people behind the scenes...

This was my "studio" for a talkshow/talk with @hausderastronomie - while I was traveling. The backdrop was locally printed and stitched together with sellotape. :-)

@vicgrinberg @hausderastronomie

I bought that during March 2020... I also have a greenscreen. I could use a better camera and some extra light panels.

I contemplated if we shouldn't have a Euclid "monthly update" or so.

“The cats were found dead with no apparent signs of injury and were from a resident population of ≈24 domestic cats that had been fed [unpasteurised] milk from sick cows. Clinical disease in cows on that farm was first noted on March 16; the cats became sick on March 17, and several cats died in a cluster during March 19–20. In total, >50% of the cats at that dairy became ill and died.”

Erinnern wir uns an die Proteste gegen den AfD Landesparteitag am 20.04. (!!!) in Niedersachsen in Unterlüß:

  • Drei Züge in Richtung Unterlüß wurden aus „technsichen Gründen“ gestoppt oder verspätet.
  • Ein Zug wurde angehalten, die Polizei hat alle zur Demo anreisenden durchsucht.
  • Menschen die bei der Demo auf dem Boden saßen um zu frühstücken wurden zufälligerweise ausgesucht und von der Polizei geboxt.
  • Es kam die Anweisung an die Polizei kein Pfefferspray oder Sonstiges zu benutzen sondern sofort den Schmerzgriff und Prügelei anzuwenden.

...und es hat sich trotzdem gelohnt weil die AfD den ganzen Tag unterbrochen wurde und nicht friedlich ihren Unsinn durchführen konnten.

Jede Person die in Unterlüß dabei war weiß wie sehr der Staatsapparat jetzt schon den Faschismus stützt. 20% der Menschen im Land wählen die AfD, die Polizei ist generell mehr rechts, die dortige Verteilung mag also schlimmer sein!

Fazit: zum AfD Bundesparteitag in Essen (28. - 30. Juni 2024) wird ausschließlich mit Bussen angereist! 🚌

This week, we're hitting the shop floor for a big design that (I hope) will ultimately become a space for a conference.

So far... it's a doughnut.

Is this to remind attendees that they better getting running around this track to burn off eating too many pastries? We shall see...

@elizabethtasker

Pleeeease keep us posted about the final product, the path to get there and the user experience during the meeting.

We have a paper coming out tomorrow (in PNAS Nexus) on the CO2 emissions of all astronomy conferences in 2019. They're immense and not sustainable in the future and as a depedency for communication of the field.

knud,
@knud@mastodon.social avatar

@elizabethtasker

I will and yes. This started as a small product in A4E and took very long to get all data (and equally long to get it into a journal). We assessed all astro conferences and schools globally (~300 with specific data, the remaining ~60 with extrapolation).

I've had it twice last year that the only (!) connection from Barcelona that still let's me travel onward to Germany was sold out. In both classes. Sucked big time. It all depends on too few seats on a single train.

    Autonomes Fahren in Städten ist tot. Aus, vorbei. Das hat Apple erkannt, das hat Bosch erkannt, das hat vermutlich auch Tesla erkannt, darf es aber noch nicht laut sagen.

    Und ich bin froh darüber, weil klar war, dass das wenn dann nur mit massiven Einschränkungen (oder Gefährdungen) aller anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer*innen hätte funktionieren können.

    And don't forget daily libration, from any observer on Earth rotating throughout a day, changing the line of sight to the Moon by up to 12000 km.

    Elon Musk might say Tesla is preparing for its “next growth phase cycle,” but laying off 14,000 people after news the mass-market vehicle was canceled and sales are dropping doesn’t suggest things are going all that great.

    @parismarx

    Well, making overblown promises and then cancelling them later was one of the main strategies throughout Musk's businesses.

    Now claiming to survive with "robotaxis" will not help strengthen confidence in Musk.

    261 authors from 152 institutions in 22 countries on 6 continents. And that is a small part-of-the NISP-instrument paper in the @ec_euclid. 🤪

    To be submitted tomorrow. The main instrument paper will follow in ~2 weeks.

    Will both (and more!) appear on arXiv on 24 May 🙂

    And do you know what this means? It means we urgently need collaborators in !
