Elizabeth Holmes

— is lobbying for a pardon from President Trump.
And why not?
Game knows game. Grift knows grift.
Of all the powers a president wields, few match his awesome pardon authority.
It is sweeping and life-changing. Idiosyncratic, resting wholly on personal whim, and irrevocable.
Once granted, it is impossible to reverse.
The power to pardon is also, like a…

Parallel Neuron Groups in the Drosophila Brain
Robert Worden
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10525 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.10525 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.10525
arXiv:2512.10525v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The full connectome of an adult Drosophila enables a search for novel neural structures in the insect brain. I describe a new neural structure, called a Parallel Neuron Group (PNG). Two neurons are called parallel if they share a significant number of input neurons and output neurons. Most pairs of neurons in the Drosophila brain have very small parallel match. There are about twenty larger groups of neurons for which any pair of neurons in the group has a high match. These are the parallel groups. Parallel groups contain only about 1000 out of the 65,000 neurons in the brain, and have distinctive properties. There are groups in the right mushroom bodies, the antennal lobes, the lobula, and in two central neuropils (GNG and EB). Most parallel groups do not have lateral symmetry. A group usually has one major input neuron, which inputs to all the neurons in the group, and a small number of major output neurons. The major input and output neurons are laterally asymmetric. Parallel neuron groups present puzzles, such as: what does a group do, that could not be done by one larger neuron? Do all neurons in a group fire in synchrony, or do they perform different functions? Why are they laterally asymmetric? These may merit further investigation.

Worked on some more #Gentoo global #jobserver goodies today.
Firstly, Portage jobserver support patch: #PyTest jobs will also be counted towards total job count.
Again, it's not a perfect solution, but it works reasonably. The plugin still starts -n jobs as specified by the arguments, but it acquired job tokens prior to executing every test, therefore delaying actual testing until tokens are available. It doesn't seem to cause noticeable overhead either.

Had to time-shift the match.
The change to the diamond 4-4-2 provided some needed stability. It is a more conservative setup from Slot, who prefers a more aggressive shape and ultimately wants to allow his attacking midfield to be able to freely rotate and drift into spaces, causing overloads, vacancies, and defensive confusion.
But when a team is in a rut and needs to stop the bleeding, the old standard works. Everyone knows a 4-4-2 and confusion in duties is largely eliminated.…

For months, the Trump administration has been accusing its political enemies of mortgage fraud for claiming more than one primary residence.
Donald Trump branded one foe who did so “deceitful and potentially criminal.”
He called another “CROOKED” on Truth Social and pushed the attorney general to take action.
But years earlier, Trump did the very thing he’s accusing his enemies of, records show.
In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a “Bermuda style” home in Palm Beach,…

When you say you need hope about climate change, what do you really need?
Maybe it's proof your actions matter.
Maybe it's permission to want a better future.
Maybe it's feeling less alone.
Your brain treats hope like a prediction. When reality doesn't match, hope breaks.
But agency doesn't break.
Community doesn't break.
Imagination doesn't break.
What if we stopped chasing hope and built something stronger?
