As @pluralistic writes here, “the American right is a brittle coalition:”
https://pluralistic.net/2024/07/14/fracture-lines/
We imagine the right as monolithic at our peril. Reply guys love, love, love to lecture me about how These People are all the same. Here’s the thing: they are not, and imagining they are is self-defeating. The right has been •incredibly• effective at finding fracture points on the left and jamming a crowbar into them. It’s time we did the same.

Somehow we made this part of the Queensboro Bridge worse. This is a 3-4ft wide two-way bike lane. There's so much wrong with this, from the metal manhole cover taking up almost the entire width of the bike lane, to the MUTCD-violating usage of sharrows, to those shitty rumble strip/speed bump things THAT ARE LOOSE.

In this paper, we study some families of right modules of quaternionic slice regular functions induced by a generalized fractal-fractional derivative with respect to a truncated quaternionic exponential function on slices. Important Banach spaces of slice regular functions, namely the Bergman and the Dirichlet modules, are two important elements of one of our families.

On Hierarchies of Fairness Notions in Cake Cutting: From Proportionality to Super Envy-Freeness
We consider the classic cake-cutting problem of producing fair allocations for $n$ agents, in the Robertson-Webb query model. In this model, it is known that: (i) proportional allocations can be computed using $O(n \log n)$ queries, and this is optimal for deterministic protocols; (ii) envy-free allocations (a subset of proportional allocations) can be computed using $O\left( n^{n^{n^{n^{n^{n}}}}} \right)$ queries, and the best known lower bound is $Ω(n^2)$; (iii) perfect allocations (a subset…

On the right, there is an “economic exploitation” faction whose goal is to get as close to slave labor as they can, and a racist faction whose goal is to be as cruel as possible to immigrants.
Those factions overlap, they align, some people gravitate to both — but they are not identical. They align •only• if the cruelty creates terrible labor conditions — not if the cruelty removes the labor entirely.

Source Identification Problem for a Nonlinear Subdiffusion Equation
The work is devoted to the study of the inverse problem of determining the right-hand side of a nonlinear subdiffusion equation with a Caputo derivative with respect to time. Nonlinearity of the equation means that the right-hand side of the equation depends nonlinearly on the solution of the equation. The inverse problem consists of reconstructing the coefficient of the right-hand side, which depends on both time and spatial variables, under a measurement in an integral form. Similar inverse p…

Full distribution of the number of distinct sites visited by a random walker in dimension $d \ge 2$
We study the full distribution $P_M(S)$ of the number of distinct sites $S$ visited by a random walker on a $d$-dimensional lattice after $M$ steps. We focus on the case $d \ge 2$, and we are interested in the long-time limit $M \gg 1$. Our primary interest is the behavior of the right and left tails of $P_M(S)$, corresponding to $S$ larger and smaller than its mean value, respectively. We present theoretical arguments that predict that in the right tail, a standard large-deviation principle (L…

We consider the behavior of extremal particles in $K$-symmetric exclusion on $\mathbb{Z}$ when the process starts from certain infinite-particle step configurations where there are no particles to the right of a maximal one. In such a system, the occupancy of a site is limited to at most $K \geq 1$. Let $X^{(0)}_t\geq X^{(1)}_t\geq \cdots$ denote the order statistics of the particles in the system.

Well, the YT algorithm never love…

Got `acme.sh` installed on all the Proxmox nodes and managed to get the certs issued and installed to the right location without too much hassle. All of the UIs now no longer anger the Firefox gods. Also all of the servers are updated and nothing is on fire. Time to relax and debate on what to eat for supper.

Crossing numbers of dense graphs on surfaces
In this paper, we provide upper and lower bounds on the crossing numbers of dense graphs on surfaces, which match up to constant factors. First, we prove that if $G$ is a dense enough graph with $m$ edges and $Σ$ is a surface of genus $g$, then any drawing of $G$ on $Σ$ incurs at least $Ω\left(\frac{m^2}{g} \log ^2 g\right)$ crossings. The poly-logarithmic factor in this lower bound is new even in the case of complete graphs and disproves a conjecture of Shahrokhi, Székely and Vrt'o from 19…

I'm not sure which is worse: the idea that the folks setting this up didn't realize what they were implying...
... Or that they knew exactly what they were doing.

He’s a Master of Outrage on X. The Pay Isn’t Great.
An online creator went from a “nobody” to a conspiratorial sensation on X. What he gets in return is less clear.

Is comparing crowd size at No Kings versus the pathetic military parade just pure pettiness?
❝No. Right now crowd sizes matter a lot because competitive authoritarianism rests largely on self-fulfilling expectations.❞

I don’t want to dwell •too• much on the shadenfreude of Trump’s pitiful parade, but I do think it’s worth just taking this in:
Trump’s political success has always hinged on him knowing how to be a reality TV star, knowing better than the news orgs themselves that political “news” is in fact reality TV, knowing how to manipulate that reality TV show.
And today, he failed at that completely. His reality show sucked. The news of the day just ran right over him. https://kolektiva.social/@Voline/114685755430626127

Eagles OT Lane Johnson believes he's still improving at 35: 'I'm getting close to maybe my peak' https://www.nfl.com/news/eagles-ot-lane-johnson-believes-he-s-still-improving-at-35-i-m-getting-close-t…

My good, how much I hate the internet and computers. I just wanna scream louder than I ever have at them, my good, I’m angry right now. All my life lost to a dumb-ass screen, brainwashed by the latest tech psyops on YouTube nobody asked for.
It’s like being trapped in a never-ending circus of clicks and scrolls, where the clowns are algorithms and the ringmaster is some faceless corporation laughing at how easy it is to fool us.
Computers and the internet promised freedom but del…

Sadly, @… is right — and the article she quotes is (I think) wrong when it says this:
❝In some real sense Meta's future depends on hiring and retaining those people, and Meta has already committed $65 billion to Al infrastructure this year. What's a few hundred million more?❞
Meta’s future does not in fact depend on hiring these specific researchers. This isn’t for the researchers, and it’s not for the research either. It’s for the investors. It’s making a show of being willing to being even more preposterously all-in on AI than anyone else, because investors are gaga for that shit. https://mas.to/@kims/114666065511798564

Iran said Israel’s deadly attacks on Friday underscored its need to advance uranium enrichment and missile capabilities.
“One should not speak to such a predatory regime except in the language of power,”
the Iranian government said in a statement.
“The world now better understands Iran’s insistence on the right to enrichment, nuclear technology, and missile power.”

Genuinely torn about this. Keeping people safe from a roving right-wing murderer does seem prudent. But I don’t want to send out the message that this is a way to get a protest cancelled.
❝The No Kings coalition that organized protests across the US today is cancelling all demonstrations in Minnesota that have not already started after two lawmakers were shot, Reuters reports.
Indivisible said on Bluesky: “Governor Walz has recommended that we cancel No Kings events across Minnesota because the individual who assassinated a Democratic lawmaker is still at large.”❞
