DIPLODOCUS II: Implementation of transport equations and test cases relevant to micro-scale physics of jetted astrophysical sources
DIPLODOCUS (Distribution-In-PLateaux methODOlogy for the CompUtation of transport equationS) is a novel framework being developed for the general transport of particle distribution functions through the seven dimensions of phase space, including forcing terms and interactions between particles. Following Paper I, which details the background analytic framework, this second paper provides an overview of the numerical implementation in the form of the code package Diplodocus.jl, written in Julia,…

Oh hey, good things do happen even in the darkest times. Yarvin is taking about fleeing the country.
The thinks that Trump's fascism is failing (which it is) and tha Trump is incapable of doing what it takes to actually hold power. He's afraid of vengeance, which is honestly unlikely given how completely useless the democrats actually are. But I'm glad he's afraid. I hope he runs away to Russia, gets drafted and deployed to Ukraine, and eats a drone.
I also hope he can somehow convince Thiel to be afraid, but I think that's unlikely.
The fact is that if Trump fails, which I think he will (and Yarvin thinks it could be soon), it won't be because of Democratic leadership. It will be because of antifascist organizing and community resistence. We will have, once again, kept ourselves safe while the DNC argued over how much of their values they should abandon and how much of the left to sacrifice to "get votes."

Im using case_when() quite a lot, case_match() is new to me: #rstats

A general vectorised switch() — case_match
This function allows you to vectorise multiple switch() statements. Each case is evaluated sequentially and the first match for each element determines the corresponding value in the output vector. If no cases match, the .default is used. case_match() is an R equivalent of the SQL "simple" CASE WHEN statement. Connection to case_when() While case_when() uses logical expressions on the left-hand side of the formula, case_match() uses values to match against .x with. The following two statement…

Porn has long been a proving ground for new technology.
When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 15th century it was quickly deployed to print bawdy pamphlets.
Adult films were put on video in 1977, a year before mainstream Hollywood ones,
and dominated sales for some time.
When Minitel, a French precursor to the internet, was launched in the early 1980s, erotic services initially accounted for between one-third and a half of all traffic.

Tempological Control of Network Dynamics
Feedback control is an effective strategy for stabilizing a desired state and has been widely adopted in maintaining the stability of systems such as flying birds and power grids. By default, this framework requires continuous control input to offset deviations from the desired state, which can be invasive and cost a considerable amount of energy. Here, we introduce tempological (temporal + topological) control -- a novel, noninvasive strategy that harnesses the inherent flexibility of time-var…

Mind the Gap: Linguistic Divergence and Adaptation Strategies in Human-LLM Assistant vs. Human-Human Interactions
As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in customer-facing applications, a critical yet underexplored question is how users communicate differently with LLM chatbots compared to human agent. In this study, we present empirical evidence that users adopt distinct communication styles when users interact with chatbots versus human agents. Our analysis reveals significant differences in grammatical fluency, politeness, and lexical diversity in user language between the two setting…
