Analysis of Null Related Beampattern Measures and Signal Quantization Effects for Linear Differential Microphone Arrays
A differential microphone array (DMA) offers enhanced capabilities to obtain sharp nulls at the cost of relatively broad peaks in the beam power pattern. This can be used for applications that require nullification or attenuation of interfering sources. To the best of our knowledge, the existing literature lacks measures that directly assess the efficacy of nulls, and null-related measures have not been investigated in the context of differential microphone arrays (DMAs). This paper offers new …

Game-Theoretic Gradient Control for Robust Neural Network Training
Feed-forward neural networks (FFNNs) are vulnerable to input noise, reducing prediction performance. Existing regularization methods like dropout often alter network architecture or overlook neuron interactions. This study aims to enhance FFNN noise robustness by modifying backpropagation, interpreted as a multi-agent game, and exploring controlled target variable noising. Our "gradient dropout" selectively nullifies hidden layer neuron gradients with probability 1 - p during backpropagation, w…

RLZ-r and LZ-End-r: Enhancing Move-r
In pattern matching on strings, a locate query asks for an enumeration of all the occurrences of a given pattern in a given text. The r-index [Gagie et al., 2018] is a recently presented compressed self index that stores the text and auxiliary information in compressed space. With some modifications, locate queries can be answered in optimal time [Nishimoto & Tabei, 2021], which has recently been proven relevant in practice in the form of Move-r [Bertram et al., 2024]. However, there remains th…

Over on Twitter, the doofus-and-loud extreme left is utterly crashing out on the fact that "No Kings" is showing that even us so-called libs or neolibs or libtards or whatever they're calling us today ABSOLUTELY DESTROY THEM at the one thing they thought they had in the bag, organizing and protesting.
Carry on!

It seems like, again, just following the plain logic of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence (which, again, I do not subscribe to), that every law passed under Trump, every supreme court justice appointment by Trump, every supreme court ruling by Trump appointed justices, all the illegal firing, etc, must all, necessarily, be null and void.
And if not following from the insurrection act, or from the oath of office, then following from the Declaration of Independence itself. The logic here being that a constitution is a contract between the people and their government, which the later upholds in order to maintain its legal status. The violation of said laws by the government violates "consent of the governed" (which, again, I have issues with the concept entirely but we're just going to ignore that) and therefore nullifies the authority of that government, granting " the right of the people to alter or to abolish it."
That seems a lot like the hard reset some folks have been looking for. Given that existing flaws allowed this state to be reached, it would also be necessary for the true authority to correct those mistakes before assuming authority that derives from these principles.
Now, personally, I don't subscribe to any of this logic but it's interesting to explore, as an outsider, where the logic goes.
