I love the non-profit block of the Art Fair, I love to go and argue with the anti-tax people and the Mars society dweebs, to glare at the Republicans, to donate to Planned Parenthood and some of the off-brand religions, to smile and wave and loudly greet the communists HI COMMUNISTS!!! They always wave back. It is such a welcoming feeling!
I’ve been twice already today, once with four grandchildren who collected tons of swag and were cute as hell.

It's time to organize, no heroes are coming!

I've got a 3am start with derpmaster Mike coming up in the next few days. He normally gets up at 5.30am so I've got a feeling there's going to be no settling him after I arrive and his regular humans all leave.
Still, hot weather will mean an early walk and breakfast and then we can both snooze!
My fourth year of looking after Michael.

Holey sheets: Double-Threshold Rupture of Draining Liquid Films
Classical rupture is attributed to molecular (van der Waals) forces acting at nanometric thicknesses. Nonetheless, micron-thick liquid sheets routinely perforate far above the scale where these molecular forces act, yet the mechanism that selects opening versus healing has remained unclear. Using direct numerical simulations of a draining sheet with an entrained air bubble (cavity), we show that irreversible rupture occurs only when a deterministic double-threshold is crossed: (i) the outward d…

Securing your company's most important digital assets of the 21st century: [productA] transforms your most valued AI prompts into blockchain-secured NFTs.
(Yes, I feel dirty to have come up with such an idea. But I won't be the only one coming up with such 💩, and by posting it I can later tell people "See? ProductB is just plagiarism!". I don't have any plans to make such a product. If your moral code allows you to do it to exploit …

Enhancing Situational Awareness in ISAC Networks via Drone Swarms: A Real-World Channel Sounding Data Set
With the upcoming capabilities of integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) and the incorporation of user equipment (UE) like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in 6G mobile networks, there is a significant opportunity to enhance situational awareness through multi-static radar sensing in meshed ISAC networks. This paper presents a real-world channel sounding data set acquired using a testbed with synchronized, distributed ground-based sensor nodes and flying sensor nodes within a swarm of up to…

JamShield: A Machine Learning Detection System for Over-the-Air Jamming Attacks
Wireless networks are vulnerable to jamming attacks due to the shared communication medium, which can severely degrade performance and disrupt services. Despite extensive research, current jamming detection methods often rely on simulated data or proprietary over-the-air datasets with limited cross-layer features, failing to accurately represent the real state of a network and thus limiting their effectiveness in real-world scenarios. To address these challenges, we introduce JamShield, a dynam…
