I've been mentioning to a lot of people to steer clear of #hyprland because of the weird community things that happened.
But I'm curious (asking here and not in the Discord which could skew the results):
Do you think that Hyprland's community is now ok? or does it still have problems?

Texas isn't the only state pushing for an end to no-fault divorce--Nebraska, Mississippi, & Louisiana are, too, & many more will follow. Red states want to trap women in pregnancy & in marriage, & they don't care how many of us die as a result. They're misogynists & abusers, & they want to take us back to a time when (white) men had all the power & we had none. #GOP

To enshrine a traditional idea of marriage, there is a state-level push against no-fault divorce. It would harm victims of abuse.

There is reportedly a major disagreement in the Las Vegas Raiders draft meetings about what direction they want to take the football team, starting with the 2024 NFL Draft. The Raiders hold the No. 13 pick in April’s draft. The Raiders have flexibility with the pick. They need help at cornerback, offensive line, and quarterback. The biggest need is arguably quarterback. They traded away Derek Carr to the New Orleans Saints last year and brought in Jimmy Garoppolo for the 2023 season. Garoppo…

Near-Tight Bounds for 3-Query Locally Correctable Binary Linear Codes via Rainbow Cycles
We prove that a binary linear code of block length $n$ that is locally correctable with $3$ queries against a fraction $δ> 0$ of adversarial errors must have dimension at most $O_δ(\log^2 n \cdot \log \log n)$. This is almost tight in view of quadratic Reed-Muller codes being a $3$-query locally correctable code (LCC) with dimension $Θ(\log^2 n)$. Our result improves, for the binary field case, the $O_δ(\log^8 n)$ bound obtained in the recent breakthrough of (Kothari and Manohar, 2023) (arX…

Establishing such a connection formally, however, is already daunting, as it would imply the breakthrough separation $\mathbf{NEXP} \not\subseteq \mathbf{P}/\operatorname{poly}$, as recently observed by Pich and Santhanam (2023).

Abstract: We summarize the Fermilab Accelerator Complex Evolution (ACE) Science Workshop, held on June 14-15, 2023. The workshop presented the strategy for the ACE program in two phases: ACE Main Injector Ramp and Target (MIRT) upgrade and ACE Booster Replacement (BR) upgrade. Four plenary sessions covered the primary experimental physics thrusts: Muon Collider, Neutrinos, Charged Lepton Flavor Violation, and Dark Sectors. Additional physics and technology ideas were presented from the community that could expand or augment the ACE science program. Given the physics framing, a parallel session at the workshop was dedicated to discussing priorities for accelerator R\&D. Finally, physics discussion sessions concluded the workshop where experts from the different experimental physics thrusts were brought together to begin understanding the synergies between the different physics drivers and technologies.
In December of 2023, the P5 report was released setting the physics priorities for the field in the next decade and beyond, and identified ACE as an important component of the future US accelerator-based program. Given the presentations and discussions at the ACE Science Workshop and the findings of the P5 report, we lay out the topics for study to determine the physics priorities and design goals of the Fermilab ACE project in the near-term.
