Positive Hermitian curvature flow on 2-step nilpotent Lie groups
We study the positive Hermitian curvature flow for left-invariant metrics on $2$-step nilpotent Lie groups with a left-invariant complex structure $J$. We describe the long-time behavior of the flow under the assumption that $J[\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{g}]$ is contained in the center of $\mathfrak{g}$. We show that under our assumption the flow $g_{t}$ exists for all positive $t$ and $(G,(1+t)^{-1}g_{t})$ converges, in the Cheeger-Gromov topology, to a $2$-step nilpotent Lie group with a non fla…

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Multilingual Chain-of-Thought Reasoning: Performance, Consistency, and Faithfulness Across Languages
Large reasoning models (LRMs) increasingly rely on step-by-step Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning to improve task performance, particularly in high-resource languages such as English.

In this work, the strong lensing effect of the memory signal was considered. In the geometric optics limit, the lensed memory signal becomes oscillatory, while the unlensed is basically monotonic. This is because only the high frequency Fourier modes contribute to the lensed signal. Therefore, the strong lensing system serves as a high-pass filter for the memory signal. Due to the step function like behavior of the unlensed memory waveform, the lensed waveform possesses characteristic morpholog…

Can We Reliably Rank Model Performance across Domains without Labeled Data?
Estimating model performance without labels is an important goal for understanding how NLP models generalize. While prior work has proposed measures based on dataset similarity or predicted correctness, it remains unclear when these estimates produce reliable performance rankings across domains. In this paper, we analyze the factors that affect ranking reliability using a two-step evaluation setup with four base classifiers and several large language models as error predictors. Experiments on t…

Re “apply the pressure anyway:” that’s advice I got from…Keith Ellison.
I was part of a citizen group pressuring him to vote for the ACA when he was in the House. He met with us, and gave us an impassioned speech about universal care and how the ACA was a good first step but insufficient, relating it to the less-remembered civil rights acts of the 1950s that laid the groundwork for the big one in 1964.
Somebody from the group finally asked him, “Why are we meeting with you? You’re already convinced!”
He replied (paraphrasing here): “I •need• your pressure. I need it even if I already agree. If you’re pressuring me, then I can get on the floor of the House and say ‘My constituents are beating down the doors of my office! This has tremendous support!’ I can tell my colleagues in private about how agitated voters are. If you apply pressure, I can pass that pressure forward. I need you to do it! •That• is why you’re meeting with me.”
And now Keith Ellison is MN Attorney General. He’s already started doing the right thing. Follow his advice, and apply that pressure!

PCIe-from-scratch update: GTP is configured and sending a hardcoded 8b10b junk pattern to the SoC.
On the RX side, I'm able to correctly identify and parse TS1/TS2 training sets.
Next step will be to refactor a bit, then implement the actual LTSSM and start sending training sets.

Brazil's renewable energy ambitions just got a major boost. Envision Energy and Casa dos Ventos are teaming up on a 630MW wind project—Envision's first net-zero energy initiative in the country.
The deal includes customized 8.xMW Galileo AI turbines designed for local grid needs, with potential expansion into green hydrogen solutions. It's a significant step toward positioning Brazil as a leader in the global green energy market.

It is hard to convey the breadth and depth of determination among normally comfortable privileged white people around here.
People are outraged, spooked, heartbroken, scared, confused, in shock, utterly livid, all that — but there’s something else. I’ve •never• seen so many people organize like this. I’ve never seen the general population so willing to •act•, to show up, to make emergency plans, to just step into a crisis situation and shout down people with assault rifles. It’s wild.

After identification of a Thai worker's remains, the first phase of Gaza’s tenuous 8-week-old ceasefire is
a step closer to completion, with one more hostage’s remains still to be returned.
The subsequent phases under a U.S.-drafted, U.N.-backed plan for Gaza remain deeply uncertain.
There has been no word on how provisions for Hamas’ disarmament will be carried out,
or how a planned international administration and security force will be established.

A unified model of memory and perception: How Hebbian learning explains our recall of past events
A collaboration between SISSA's Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. The study, recently published in Neuron, shows that distinct perceptual biases—long thought to arise from separate brain systems—can, in fact, be explained by a single, biologically grounded mechanism.

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from,
and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”
“People are devastated and they’re frightened,” Project Citizenship executive director Gail Breslow told WGBH.
“People were plucked out of line. They didn’t cancel the whole ceremony.”
