Democratic lawmakers in Congress are furious
after the Trump administration announced plans to
💥limit classified information that is typically shared with both houses of the legislature -- following a leak regarding the U.S.’s recent military strikes on Iran.
After President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet claimed his ordered attacks on three sites in Iran last weekend “obliterated” the country’s nuclear capabilities,
a leaked intelligence document disputed tha…

White House Plans to Limit Intel Sharing With Congress Over Leak Showing Iran’s Nuclear Capabilities Weren’t “Obliterated”
“This isn’t about national security — it’s about Trump’s insecurity,” Sen. Chuck Schumer said.

Cluster-Aware Two-Stage Method for Fast Iterative MIMO Detection in LEO Satellite Communications
In this paper, a cluster-aware two-stage multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection method is proposed for direct-to-cell satellite communications. The method achieves computational efficiency by exploiting a distinctive property of satellite MIMO channels: users within the same geographical cluster exhibit highly correlated channel characteristics due to their physical proximity, which typically impedes convergence in conventional iterative MIMO detectors. The proposed method implements a…

If a starting date is mentioned in an academic job posting, and if the job involves teaching, which customarily follows a specific calendar, I’d have thought that it’s rather obvious that there are reasons for this particular starting date.
Of course, you can always ask, but it’s typically not possible to move the semester to accommodate you.

I am once again getting a wave of right-wing spam SMSes from Hillsdale College (purportedly). Are they actually letting their institution’s name be attached to political spam? I realize there are all kinds of super gross things about Hillsdale as an institution, but even so, I’d think the institution would want to preserve some shred of self-respect, or at least try to keep up appearances.
The spam links are all the domain rght.io followed by 6-character alphanumeric codes, such as:
http://rght.io/jjne75
http://rght.io/ip0l3b
http://rght.io/646anh

http://rght.io/eo556l
http://rght.io/15bk46
http://rght.io/igd8ga
http://rght.io/pp2ggf
(Those are random examples, I don’t want them validating my number; I just want to send the typical Fedi server traffic their way.)
I haven’t investigated the domain, server, etc. at all, but if anyone is inspired…have at it!

Calamus 15 O drops of me!
It's a remarkably morbid poem for Whitman, literally about blood dropping from wounds, corrupting his poetry.
stain every song I sing, every word I say, bloody drops
But he turns this blood into a sort of virtue that infuses his poem, starting with an inversion. It's not "saturate yourself with the drops". Instead it's saturate them with yourself.
Saturate them with yourself, all ashamed and wet,
Glow upon all I have written or shall write, bleeding drops,
Let it all be seen in your light, blushing drops.
I can make a case for a queer reading of recognizing gay shame and overcoming it. To take the stigma of homosexuality and turn it into a virtue, "let it all be seen in your light".
But I think I may be out on a limb with that interpretation. Whitman's not typically a writer about shame. And I think "gay shame" doesn't apply well as a concept in the 1850s, that's a malady that comes with a backlash against modern gay identity.

Limitations of Nyquist Criteria in the Discretization of 2D Electromagnetic Integral Equations at High Frequency: Spectral Insights into Pollution Effects
The use of boundary integral equations in modeling boundary value problems-such as elastic, acoustic, or electromagnetic ones-is well established in the literature and widespread in practical applications. These equations are typically solved numerically using boundary element methods (BEMs), which generally provide accurate and reliable solutions. When the frequency of the wave phenomenon under study increases, the discretization of the problem is typically chosen to maintain a fixed number of…

Switched this server to my new #Hetzner Object Storage backend. Also switched from #NGINX as reverse proxy to #Caddy.
