Magnetic reconnection driving two-sided-loop jet is typically associated with interactions between an emerging bipole and the overlying horizontal magnetic field, or between filaments from separate magnetic systems. Leveraging high temporal and spatial resolution observations from ground-based and space-borne instruments, we have identified a two-sided-loop jet originating from magnetic reconnection between threads within a single filament.

Reasoning in interactive problem solving scenarios requires models to construct reasoning threads that reflect user understanding and align with structured domain knowledge.

These limitations result in lengthy generic output that does not guide users through goal-oriented reasoning steps. To address this, we propose …

Y'all were wondering which way the army would break. This is as clear an answer as you're going to get.
This isn't a mistake. It's a message.
Edit: cut out "During drills they were perfectly in time" because I don't have receipts to show. Linking to a longer video in a threads post that shows a bit more intense of a juxtaposition between themselves and the division in front of them. This thread makes the same claim about drills, but I also don't see video.

Edit: to clarify a bit, this is one division. The division in front of them in the longer video is in step. This isn't "the whole army is going to refuse" but this may be, "some units are fed up enough to make it clear they don't want to play, which is saying a lot."
Any division that exists needs to be cultivated. The way you cultivate that is absolutely not by lumping them all together. Some of the military voted for Trump, some don't care, some hate him. All of them are being treated like shit right now. All of them swore an oath to defend the constitution. Some of them probably know what that means.
I'm absolutely not a fan of the military, but I will take every opportunity I can to humanize these folks. Look for every opportunity you can to remind them that they are welcome on our side whenever they're ready to actually fulfill their oath, and we will appreciate every subtle bit of resistance they give to those who are violating it in the meantime.

Reduced-Order Modeling of Bolt Loosening: Application to a Pair of Oscillators Under Transverse Shock Excitation

This preload can be dynamically lost due to sustained vibrations or sudden shock that are large enough to induce slip in the threads. While high-fidelity finite element simulations and analytical methods can accurately model the loss of preload for a single, their prohibitive computational expense and complexity render them unfeasible for analyzing large-scale str…

BlockFIFO & MultiFIFO: Scalable Relaxed Queues
FIFO queues are a fundamental data structure used in a wide range of applications. Concurrent FIFO queues allow multiple execution threads to access the queue simultaneously. Maintaining strict FIFO semantics in concurrent queues leads to low throughput due to high contention at the head and tail of the queue. By relaxing the FIFO semantics to allow some reordering of elements, it becomes possible to achieve much higher scalability. This work presents two orthogonal designs for relaxed concurre…

Subtooting since people in the original thread wanted it to be over, but selfishly tagging @… and @… whose opinions I value...
I think that saying "we are not a supply chain" is exactly what open-source maintainers should be doing right now in response to "open source supply chain security" threads.
I can't claim to be an expert and don't maintain any important FOSS stuff, but I do release almost all of my code under open licenses, and I do use many open source libraries, and I have felt the pain of needing to replace an unmaintained library.
There's a certain small-to-mid-scale class of program, including many open-source libraries, which can be built/maintained by a single person, and which to my mind best operate on a "snake growth" model: incremental changes/fixes, punctuated by periodic "skin-shedding" phases where make rewrites or version updates happen. These projects aren't immortal either: as the whole tech landscape around them changes, they become unnecessary and/or people lose interest, so they go unmaintained and eventually break. Each time one of their dependencies breaks (or has a skin-shedding moment) there's a higher probability that they break or shed too, as maintenance needs shoot up at these junctures. Unless you're a company trying to make money from a single long-lived app, it's actually okay that software churns like this, and if you're a company trying to make money, your priorities absolutely should not factor into any decisions people making FOSS software make: we're trying (and to a huge extent succeeding) to make a better world (and/or just have fun with our own hobbies share that fun with others) that leaves behind the corrosive & planet-destroying plague which is capitalism, and you're trying to personally enrich yourself by embracing that plague. The fact that capitalism is *evil* is not an incidental thing in this discussion.
To make an imperfect analogy, imagine that the peasants of some domain have set up a really-free-market, where they provide each other with free stuff to help each other survive, sometimes doing some barter perhaps but mostly just everyone bringing their surplus. Now imagine the lord of the domain, who is the source of these peasants' immiseration, goes to this market secretly & takes some berries, which he uses as one ingredient in delicious tarts that he then sells for profit. But then the berry-bringer stops showing up to the free market, or starts bringing a different kind of fruit, or even ends up bringing rotten berries by accident. And the lord complains "I have a supply chain problem!" Like, fuck off dude! Your problem is that you *didn't* want to build a supply chain and instead thought you would build your profit-focused business in other people's free stuff. If you were paying the berry-picker, you'd have a supply chain problem, but you weren't, so you really have an "I want more free stuff" problem when you can't be arsed to give away your own stuff for free.
There can be all sorts of problems in the really-free-market, like maybe not enough people bring socks, so the peasants who can't afford socks are going barefoot, and having foot problems, and the peasants put their heads together and see if they can convince someone to start bringing socks, and maybe they can't and things are a bit sad, but the really-free-market was never supposed to solve everyone's problems 100% when they're all still being squeezed dry by their taxes: until they are able to get free of the lord & start building a lovely anarchist society, the really-free-market is a best-effort kind of deal that aims to make things better, and sometimes will fall short. When it becomes the main way goods in society are distributed, and when the people who contribute aren't constantly drained by the feudal yoke, at that point the availability of particular goods is a real problem that needs to be solved, but at that point, it's also much easier to solve. And at *no* point does someone coming into the market to take stuff only to turn around and sell it deserve anything from the market or those contributing to it. They are not a supply chain. They're trying to help each other out, but even then they're doing so freely and without obligation. They might discuss amongst themselves how to better coordinate their mutual aid, but they're not going to end up forcing anyone to bring anything or even expecting that a certain person contribute a certain amount, since the whole point is that the thing is voluntary & free, and they've all got changing life circumstances that affect their contributions. Celebrate whatever shows up at the market, express your desire for things that would be useful, but don't impose a burden on anyone else to bring a specific thing, because otherwise it's fair for them to oppose such a burden on you, and now you two are doing your own barter thing that's outside the parameters of the really-free-market.

Dear fellow liberals, there is no perfect candidate. Every one of them has flaws, moments they regret, policies you may strongly oppose. The difference between us and MAGA is they rally behind their choice no matter what, while we’re busy policing each other as MAGA works to take over the world and take away the rights of the poor, queer folk, women & minorities… we can have those discussions amongst ourselves but right now we’re fighting against authoritarianism...& they’re flooding…

Duh. Another #Trump distraction fueled by the same stupid ragebaiting tactic... to distract you from his involvement with that #pedophile, Jeffrey #Epstein.
Oh, did you forget about that already?…

George Conway (@gtconway3) on Threads

Legit Q: What will be the consequences to #Trump if he's outed as a pedophile?
❌ His base doesn't care about his racism, sexism, lack of ethics or criminality
❌ Congress kowtows & rolls over for him every week
❌ SCOTUS is bought & sealed
❌ Reasonable people already know he's evil incarnate
I don't see this as a means to weaken or oust him.

I don’t ask for much. But I’m asking now. Like it. Share it. Burn it into the algorithm. Donald Trump. Jeffrey Epstein. Pam Bondi. The cover-up is real. And Trump doesn’t wanna talk about it anymore. So we’re gonna talk about it louder than ever. Blow this wide open. Let’s make them hear it in the streets. Fucking viral. Right now.
