The DoJ civil rights division has seen dramatic changes since Trump came back into office last year and installed Harmeet Dhillon, a former Republican Party operative in California, to lead it.
Dhillon has fired employees in droves,
pushed out others through separation incentives tied to pressure campaigns,
reassigned staff
and rewritten the mission statements for each section in the division.
She has vastly reshaped the types of cases the office pursues

India's Telegram ban until June 22 over exam paper leak concerns is a terrible look for the country, sets a precedent, and could happen again if unchallenged (Nikhil Pahwa/@nixxin)

Nikhil Pahwa (@nixxin) on X
A few additional thoughts on the Telegram ban in India: 1. Is this a permanent ban? It's unusual for the Indian government to issue a press release about the telegram ban: the precedence that I remember is when Chinese apps were banned in India in June 2020 including tiktok. A

May 2026 was the second-warmest May on record globally, in between 2024 and 2025.
The global average temperature was 15.81°C, 0.55°C above the 1991-2020 average for May and 1.42°C above the estimated 1850-1900 pre-industrial average for the month.

Ce qui est intéressant dans la décision, c'est que la justice française s'aligne sur une classification faite par la justice allemande il y a 6ans (BGH Urt. v. 18.06.2020, Az. 4 StR 482/19). Le cas allemand était encore moins claire, car la volonté n'avait pas été relevé avec la même clarté. Selon le BGH, il suffisait que l'automobiliste était indifférent au sort des autres.

Hong Kong’s national security law has already crushed the territory’s once-vibrant civic and political life.
But now the city’s hard-line authorities are making the law even more repressive for anyone caught in its net.

Under updates which took effect this week,
the city’s chief executive can classify any case as a national security crime under the 2020 law,
even when the alleged offense was committed before that law took effect.

For good reasons, people cann…

Hong Kong’s nightmare gets darker

fly_hemibrain: Fly hemibrain (2020)
A synaptic map of the hemibrain connectome of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using EM reconstruction techniques. Neurons are labeled by their type. Edges are annotated by the connection strength between the neurons.
This network has 21739 nodes and 4259624 edges.

« Face à un pouvoir répressif » (2/3). A partir de 2020, les trois années de politique zéro Covid et leurs confinements drastiques ont provoqué de nombreuses protestations, favorisant un éveil politique d’une partie de la jeunesse. Les autorités ayant renforcé le contrôle, certains choisissent la résistance passive.

It is high time we let go of the Mersenne Twister
When the Mersenne Twister made his first appearance in 1997 it was a powerful example of how linear maps on $\mathbf F_2$ could be used to generate pseudorandom numbers. In particular, the easiness with which generators with long periods could be defined gave the Mersenne Twister a large following, in spite of the fact that such long periods are not a measure of quality, and they require a large amount of memory. Even at the time of its publication, several defects of the Mersenne Twister were …
