"Stop being dismissive of radical movements. Stop rolling your eyes at the ostensibly utopian dreams of your anti-capitalist and anti-state friends. It’s far more unrealistic to imagine persuading the US to stop supporting genocide than it is to imagine abolishing every state and taking care of each other without presidents. Find your local anarchist or anti-state Marxist or Indigenous group and see how you can be part of movement work that is committed to liberation from imperialism, colonialism, ecocide. Or, just be a better neighbor; get to know the people on your block, build relationships that will be supportive as we all move into escalating collapse. Stop giving time and money to electoral politics (if you have money to give, get it directly to people who need it, not to red-tape nonprofits). Stop telling those of us who have already walked away from that delusion that we’re making it worse for people (worse for whom? what Palestinian thinks Biden is better than Trump?). Believe that a world without domination is possible, because then you can believe that a world without genocide is possible."

Public policy and health in the Trump era via The Lancet
“Trump exploited low and middle-income white people's anger over their deteriorating life prospects to mobilise racial animus and xenophobia and enlist their support for policies that benefit high-income people and corporations and threaten health.”

Trump’s opponents are rushing to endorse him and show they’re on the right side.
It’s not because they love Trump; it’s because they know that loving Trump is a prerequisite for any future career in Republican politics.
Partisan incentives are powerful, and Trump has commandeered them on his own behalf.
Now and for the foreseeable future, the GOP is Trump’s to do with as he will.
Which means that no matter what horrible things Trump does to the country and the Constit…

Trump plans to abuse power. Who will stop him?

Independence Phenomena in Mathematics: a Set Theoretic Perspective on Current Obstacles and Scenarios for Solutions
The standard axioms of set theory, the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms (ZFC), do not suffice to answer all questions in mathematics. While this follows abstractly from Kurt Gödel's famous incompleteness theorems, we nowadays know numerous concrete examples for such questions. A large number of problems in set theory, for example, regularity properties such as Lebesgue measurability and the Baire property are not decided - for even rather simple (for example, projective) sets of reals - by ZFC. Even ma…

Unsolvable Problem Detection: Evaluating Trustworthiness of Vision Language Models
This paper introduces a novel and significant challenge for Vision Language Models (VLMs), termed Unsolvable Problem Detection (UPD). UPD examines the VLM's ability to withhold answers when faced with unsolvable problems in the context of Visual Question Answering (VQA) tasks. UPD encompasses three distinct settings: Absent Answer Detection (AAD), Incompatible Answer Set Detection (IASD), and Incompatible Visual Question Detection (IVQD). To deeply investigate the UPD problem, extensive experim…

“I did not find the case trivial. I found it nauseating, a grouping of some of the least attractive and sleaziest human beings I have ever imagined in proximity to the levers of power. And critically, these were people actively and consciously engaged in an effort to corrupt an election. I came away from the trial thinking it was actually important that Trump had to answer for this conduct.”

Jonathan Coulton's "Still Alive" (from Portal) is an Easter song, and the lyrics don't even require that much tweaking to work. Imagine Jesus singing it to all of humanity:
This was a triumph
I'm making a note here
"Huge success"
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
My Father's Kingdom
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
But there's no sense crying over every missed line
You just keep on trying till you run out of wine
And the tombstone grows moss and you make a neat cross
For the people who are still alive
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart
And killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Now, these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
So I'm glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive
Go 'head and leave me
I think I'd prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else
To help you
Maybe Ron Hubbard?
That was a joke, ha-ha, fat chance
Anyway, this wine is great
It's so delicious and moist
Look at me, still talking when there's religion to do
When I look out there, it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there's salvation to be done
On the people who are still alive
And believe me, I am still alive
I'm doing preaching and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive
While you're dying, I'll be still alive
And when you're dead, I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive

Voltage-insensitive stochastic magnetic tunnel junctions with double free layers
Stochastic magnetic tunnel junctions (s-MTJ) is a promising component of probabilistic bit (p-bit), which plays a pivotal role in probabilistic computers. For a standard cell structure of the p-bit, s-MTJ is desired to be insensitive to voltage across the junction over several hundred millivolts. In conventional s-MTJs with a reference layer having a fixed magnetization direction, however, the stochastic output significantly varies with the voltage due to spin-transfer torque (STT) acting on th…
