I wrote a blog post about the often stated but never explained assumption that communities in graphs should always be connected.
This “connected cluster axiom” is inconsistent with statistical significance and null models that underlie the most widely employed methods.

«Dans cette mise Š l’enquête, une partie des anciens plans du bâtiment sont visibles. On peut voir notamment la porte intérieure du bar. Elle mesure 1 mètre 50, avec ouverture non réglementaire. En effet, l’ouverture doit se faire dans la direction de fuite, ce qui n’est pas le cas sur le plan. La porte de la véranda s’ouvre également dans le mauvais sens, vers l’intérieur.»

A day without work with the worker calling in sick.
Seems to be better today though.
We have shelves in the closet and another frame is in construction here. Presumably for the window doors.
Painting has begun. Colour would ideally be half a shade darker but getting varnish for pine in blue seems to be surprisingly tricky. Maybe another coat will help but don't want to lose the wood grain under it.
Might have tried to get a slightly more pale wall if I'd known. So many things you don't really know until you see 'em.
Feels like I'm being gassed, opened up all the windows and doors. This paint takes a long time to try and apparently stinks up the flat while it does so.

Let not my love be called idolatry,
Nor my beloved as an idol show,
Since all alike my songs and praises be
To one, of one, still such, and ever so.
Kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind,
Still constant in a wondrous excellence;
Therefore my verse to constancy confined,
One thing expressing, leaves out difference.
Fair, kind, and true, is all my argument,
Fair, kind, and true, varying to other words;
And in th…

"Maduro’s arrest is connected to a new kind of politics I’ve spent the last year struggling to describe. A profoundly embarrassing collision of violent nationalism, illiterate social chatter, and memetic fascism that’s been spreading across the globe since the pandemic."

The rise of the troll state
Read to the end for a crab tureen

Fascinated at how Wikidata's property constraints push particular models.
The capture of Maduro has different instance values, eg both "military intervention" and "kidnapping" (with a "disputed by" qualifier).
But the (disputed) inclusion then tries to push the use of perpetrator/victim values, rather than a neutral "participant".
(Wikidata property values have highly contextual meanings beyond simple labels... but editors are sti…

ChatGPT head says screenshots of ChatGPT ads are "either not real or not ads"; OpenAI's research head says "anything that feels like an ad" is now turned off (Matthias Bastian/The Decoder)

OpenAI insists its shopping suggestions shouldn't be seen as advertising
Paid ChatGPT users recently reported seeing a prompt labeled "Shop for home and groceries. Connect Target," which appeared to ask them to link their ChatGPT account to OpenAI's retail partner Target. For many users, the message looked like an ad.

I really want to be interested in this "dark forest theory of the internet" but just listened to their podcast about the economics of it and they just went on and on about using substack and discord as if that was somehow revelatory? I couldn't get the point of what they were saying at all. Then they talked about how charging for membership of their closed group didn't really make money but helped weed people out, with no consideration that some people don't have spare …

I think I'm making progress on the bottom-of-column logic.
I've traced out a bunch, but I don't grok.
There's a bunch of control signals running the full height from bottom to top which makes tracing stuff out a bit painful.
The circuit that I thought was the column mux itself seems straightforward, just eight pass transistors that connect the drain-side bitlines to a common 8-bit bus on metal 2 running the full width of the array.
But then there's…
