I quite like the idea of forging a faux display context and lying to whatever WindowsHook handler is driving the Recall collection and then filling it with garbage nonsense, surreal poetry and invented scenes from Waiting for Godot and Krapps Last Tape.

Filing: Clearview AI proposes to settle a class action suit by collectively giving a 23% company stake worth ~$52M to Americans whose faces are in its database (Kashmir Hill/New York Times)

Clearview AI Used Your Face. Now You May Get a Stake in the Company.
The facial recognition start-up doesn’t have the funds to settle a class-action lawsuit, so lawyers are proposing equity for those whose faces were scraped from the internet.

Wanna guess what Meta's stupid AI considers not following their guidelines on sale of illegal or regulated goods?
My guess is some of the following (in 3 photos):
* A poetry collection
* A lemon
* A glass of lemonade (made from the lemon)
* A crime novel by Stuart MacBride I'm currently translating

Cleveland confirms ransomware attack as City Hall remains closed
For the second straight week, the building is closed to the public following a cyberattack.

A survey on the Le-Murakami-Ohtsuki invariant for closed 3-manifolds
We review the original approach to the Le-Murakami-Ohtsuki (LMO) invariant of closed 3-manifolds (as opposed to the later approach based on the Aarhus integral). Following the ideas of surgery presentation, we introduce a class of combinatorial structures, called Kirby structures, which we prove to yield multiplicative 3-manifold invariants. We illustrate this with the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants. We then introduce a class of combinatorial structures, called pre-LMO structures, and prove that…

Partial stochastic resetting with refractory periods
The effect of refractory periods in partial resetting processes is studied. Under Poissonian partial resets, a state variable jumps to a value closer to the origin by a fixed fraction at constant rate, $x\to a x$. Following each reset, a stationary refractory period of arbitrary duration takes place. We derive an exact closed-form expression for the propagator in Fourier-Laplace space, which shows rich dynamical features such as connections not only to other resetting schemes but also to interm…

A Game Theoretic Analysis of the Three-Gambler Ruin Game
We study the following game. Three players start with initial capitals of $s_{1},s_{2},s_{3}$ dollars; in each round player $P_{m}$ is selected with probability $\frac{1}{3}$; then \emph{he} selects player $P_{n}$ and they play a game in which $P_{m}$ wins from (resp. loses to) $P_{n}$ one dollar with probability $p_{mn}$ (resp. $p_{nm}=1-p_{mn}$). When a player loses all his capital he drops out; the game continues until a single player wins by collecting everybody's money. This is a "strate…

An efficient active-stress electromechanical isogeometric shell model for muscular thin film simulations
We propose an isogeometric approach to model the deformation of active thin films using layered, nonlinear, Kirchhoff Love shells. Isogeometric Collocation and Galerkin formulations are employed to discretize the electrophysiological and mechanical sub-problems, respectively, with the possibility to adopt different element and time-step sizes. Numerical tests illustrate the capabilities of the active stress based approach to effectively simulate the contraction of thin films in both quasi-stati…
