At least 9 GOP lawmakers are at Trump trial, which could be a problem for Republicans
At least nine Republican lawmakers traveled to New York to appear in court alongside former President Trump on Thursday, with some members’ attendance possible after the House Oversight and Accountability Committee bumped a scheduled hearing. Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Mike Waltz (Fla.) and Eli Crane (Ariz.) were spotted in…

A Characterization of Entropy as a Universal Monoidal Natural Transformation
We show that the essential properties of entropy (monotonicity, additivity and subadditivity) are consequences of entropy being a monoidal natural transformation from the under category functor $-/\mathsf{LProb}_ρ$ (where $\mathsf{LProb}_ρ$ is category of $ρ$-th-power-summable probability distributions, $0<ρ<1$) to $Δ_{\mathbb{R}}$. Moreover, the Shannon entropy can be characterized as the universal monoidal natural transformation from $-/\mathsf{LProb}_ρ$ to the category of integrally cl…

Even CERN has to queue for GPUs. Here's how they optimise what they have.

Even CERN has to queue for GPUs. Here's how they optimise what they have
CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, has long had some of the biggest of big data needs. Its engineers historically built their own IT systems including for distributed and high performing computing (HPC), and sometimes still do. But the culture has largely shifted to engaging with open source communities with similar requirements, including adopting OpenStack for the computing needs of the Large Hadron Collider.

Donald Trump has had his political cronies show up at his hush-money trial.
And it turns out
🔥he has been editing what they would say on his behalf,
🔥a seemingly obvious violation of his gag order.
One of the journalists covering the trial says the former president was “editing” and “making notations” to the speeches his allies made outside of the courtroom Tuesday.
“In court yesterday, actually, I was sitting close enough that I could actually look over Trump…

Oops! Trump Spotted Outside the Courtroom Editing Stooges’ Speeches
Donald Trump has been caught using an obvious ploy to circumvent the gag order in his hush-money trial.

1/N Tänään on kansainvälinen saavutettavuustietoisuuden päivä (Global Accessibility Awareness Day). Tietoisuus on pätkä, joka usein jätetään päivän nimestä. Se on tärkeä osa, sillä siitä kaikki alkaa. Mistä sitten pitäisi olla tietoinen? Saavutettavuuden tarpeesta, erilaisista saavutettavuuden muodoista, sen taustalla olevista arvoista, yleisistä sen puutteista, keinoista sen parantamiseen, sääntelystä, jne... Lista on selvästikin pitkä.

Watched something on #evidence in education, someone said "Think #Bias!" and the subtitles rendered this as "think by ass" and I will never not hear those three words every time I open a research paper.

720 kHz: Voice of Islamic Republic of Iran Tajik service, 400kW into directional antenna via Taybad🇮🇷. 1st spotted @ 1707z w/ OM tlk underneath echoed-up Could You Be Loved by Bob Marley from 3x Romanians. 1719z closing w/ OLD VOIRI IS played 4 times, then joining one of domestic programmes in Farsi. Good signal, sometimes even over the Romanian pile-up... yet a NEW LOG! for some reason 😂 #mediumwave

"Climate change has exposed biodiversity to unprecedented conditions, significantly altering ecosystem structure and resilience in most regions.
"In the last decades, among thousands of species spread across terrestrial, marine and freshwater systems, half to two-thirds have shifted their range in response to warming.
"As a result, climate-induced distributional shifts have caused severe declines in nearly half of all studied populations"
