Working in computer security, I've learned to be *real fucking careful* about this law and have heard of it being interpreted *very broadly.* If a client of mine described a system to circumvent access restrictions like this I would fire them. But assuming I didn't fire them, I would
1) tell them to shut it down immediately
2) tell them to talk to a lawyer.
LLMs, as a class of user, are clearly not authorized to access the information. By circumventing access controls, they have "knowingly accessed a computer without authorization." Those access restrictions exist to protect against various damages, including bandwidth use and "intellectual property theft" (another concept I'm not a fan of, but anyway). By violating those restrictions they could open themselves up to legal liability.
Now, IANAL. My job is to describe risk. That's a sufficient risk. It actually doesn't even matter if you'd win the case in the end, a lot of people just can't afford to fight.
But, in this case, it tends to be powerful people, for whom the law does not apply, abusing people who neither have the protection of the law nor the money to just ruin someone's life with a flood of lawyers.

Isomorphic Emergence of Lorentz and Gauge Symmetries--A Constructive Interpretation Based on Continuum Mechanics
Ke-Xia Jiang
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.06244 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.06244 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.06244

Abstract: Lorentz symmetry and gauge symmetry constitute the mathematical cornerstones of modern physics, yet their ultimate physical origins remain elusive. From the standpoint of a constructive interpretation, this paper demonstrates that both symmetry structures can emerge isomorphically from a unified classical source: dynamical constraints on wave-packet excitations in a continuous elastic substrate medium (SM). Neither symmetry is posited as fundamental, nor does their emergence rely on quantization. Three core results are established. First, taking the transverse wave speed of a homogeneous, isotropic SM as the benchmark under a conventionalist synchronization scheme, Minkowski-type spacetime arises isomorphically, with Lorentz transformations as effective coordinate transformations between inertial frames. This reinterprets the Michelson--Morley null result: observers are composite wave-packet excitations, and medium-induced kinematic corrections are encoded in their measurement frameworks. Second, for wave packets endowed with $SU(N)$ intrinsic symmetry, the requirement of identity invariance drives the SM to spontaneously generate gauge fields. This requires invariant equivalence classes of intrinsic states under propagation, yielding gauge structures isomorphic to Yang-Mills theory. The gauge group $SU(N)$ is uniquely determined by the number of stable normal modes supported by the medium. Third, through the same conventionalist measurement protocols, inhomogeneous distributions of the SM emerge isomorphically as curved spacetime geometry, governed by Einstein-type field equations from variational extremization of the medium's deformation free energy. This paper advances a unified interpretive account of the physical origin underlying the mathematical structures of both Relativity and the Standard Model.

Closed-Form of the Local Galactic Potential and Stellar Distribution Function from Gaia DR3

Abstract: The local dark matter density determines the strength of the signal expected in direct-detection experiments, yet published estimates from stellar motions disagree by more than their errors, and the most recent machine-learning analysis of Gaia data finds a local density consistent with zero. According to Jeans' theorem, a distribution function built from integrals of motion satisfies the collisionless Boltzmann equation (CBE) trivially for any choice of potential, so a search that simultaneously fits the distribution function and the potential to the CBE identifies neither. Our pipeline instead estimates the distribution function in isolation, linearizing the equation in terms of accelerations and allowing for direct measurement of the local force field, and then fits closed forms to that field via symbolic regression. Throughout, we find that the usable information lies not in the CBE residual but in the stellar number counts, the observable most distorted by survey selection. Along the vertical profile, our recovered potential agrees with the classical self-gravitating isothermal disc.

Is Dark Matter Really Matter?
Jun-Qian Jiang, Arman Shafieloo

Abstract: In the standard model of cosmology, it is assumed that dark matter is pressureless with equation of state $w=0$ and dark energy has $w=-1$. We test these assumptions jointly using DESI DR2 distance measurements, including the recent Lyman-$\alpha$ full-shape Alcock-Paczynski (AP) information, DES supernovae, and two complementary CMB treatment. When constant $w_{dm}$ and $w_{de}$ are varied together, we find $w_{dm}=0.000968^{ 0.000501}_{-0.000496}$ and $w_{de}=-0.9380^{ 0.0259}_{-0.0262}$ (68%). With an alternative CMB treatment that marginalizes over the lensing spectrum, the corresponding constraints are $w_{dm}=0.000870^{ 0.000408}_{-0.000410}$ and $w_{de}=-0.9353^{ 0.0258}_{-0.0254}$. Both standard $\Lambda$CDM values are disfavored at approximately $2\sigma$ in the joint extension. Neither parameter departs significantly from its standard value when only that parameter is varied. This behavior arises because late-time distances favor $w_{de}>-1$, while maintaining the early-Universe physical matter density requires a compensating positive $w_{dm}$, which changes the mapping to the matter density today. Allowing dynamical dark energy clarify further on complexity of the situation: phantom crossing for dark energy makes $w_{dm}=0$ consistent with the data, whereas a positive $w_{dm}$ preference persists when crossing is forbidden. Interestingly, the Pad'e-$w$ parameterization that provides a flexible description of a class of quintessence models (with no phantom crossing), along with $w_{dm}$ free, is even mildly favored over the phantom-crossing $w_0w_a$ model according to both the best-fit $\chi^2$ and the DIC under both CMB treatments. One can conclude that the apparent preference for phantom crossing may instead reflect deviations in the dark-matter sector rather than dark-energy dynamics alone. [abridged]

Countable Functionally Balanced Groups

Abstract: We prove that every countable Hausdorff functionally balanced topological group is balanced, answering Question~13 in the problem list of Bouziad and Troallic. The proof does not assume metrizability, first countability, sequentiality, or a non-Archimedean local base. Its non-locally-precompact part combines an infinite-fibre amplification, a simultaneous Bernoulli colouring lemma for countably many arbitrary self-maps, a McShane extension with respect to a continuous left-invariant pseudometric, and the Protasov--Saryev criterion. We also prove a countable-union form of Question~4: in an \(\FSIN\) group, every left uniformly discrete family whose union is countable is right uniformly discrete. Consequently, Questions~7 and~8 have positive answers for \(\aleph_0\)-bounded \(\FSIN\) groups. We reconstruct all thirteen questions and their logical relations. The original problem chapter states, without proof, that a positive answer to Question~13 would imply Question~4 for all \(\aleph_0\)-bounded groups. We isolate the ambient reflection principle needed for that transfer and explain why neither subgroup reduction nor the present colouring proof establishes it. Therefore Question~12 is \emph{not} claimed as solved here: the precise boundary between the proved countable theorem and the asserted \(\aleph_0\)-bounded transfer is recorded explicitly.

Semi-subtoot: there's a certain kind of anti-genocide narrative that draws comparisons between the Gaza genocide and the genocide of Jews, queer, and disabled people during WW2, with an incredulous overtone, the subtext of which is: if the good nations invaded Germany to stop the Nazis' evil in WW2, it's hypocritical for this nations not to take action to protect Gazan civilians now. There are a couple of problems with this line of reasoning, but the most obvious from an anarchist perspective (which sees "good nation" for the oxymoron it is) is that it's ahistorical. The reasons for the various allies' entrance into WW2 are varied, but they weren't about good and evil, and in fact the full depth of the evils of the Holocaust *was not known* in allied countries until after the war. Nations never really do things to "fight evil" like some humans might; they always act out of a kind of (imperfect) self-interest. The motivations for many of the allies were simply "we don't want Germany to conquer and destroy us" (and the imperfection in that motive is amply evident in the appeasement that preceded the war). America was of course not swayed by that motive, and it was the Japanese that (thinking the issue would have to come to a head eventually and that a surprise attack was worth speeding it up) put America in a situation where it joined for similar reasons.
Why is this extra relevant right now? Because neither the US nor any European country is existentially threatened by Israel (or threatened at all in fact, quite the opposite they're all benefiting economically from the situation in Gaza). The lesson of history isn't "brave, good nations will stand up to fight against anyone who commits genocide or other major evils", it's "nations act in their narrow and twisted and often mistaken self-interest (the interest of the national entity, which is often counter to the interest of it's citizens), and they always mythologize their actions after the fact as having been a fight against evil, which sometimes by luck is partially true."
To double down on this point: in the European theater the U.S. war actions were pretty good overall, defeating an evil opponent through military force and being a fairly gracious victor to the civilian populations there. In contrast, in the Pacific theater the U.S. was one of two evil empires duking it out for global dominance at the expense of civilians on both sides. The Japanese empire was a vile regime and perpetrated horrors in China, Korea, and across southeast Asia. The U.S. was barely better, between Japanese internment camps at home, and mass targeting of civilians on Japan, both with the firebombing of Tokyo and especially the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
So if your model of how we stop genocide is "convince the good guys to invade (or exert political pressure) and save the day", your model is wrong. That's not what happened in WW2. I'm not confident I know the perfect solution, but I do think it involves a mass of people making increasingly disruptive protest so that the cost *to rich companies and thus politicians* of falling to intervene is too high to stomach. That's a large part of what succeeded in South Africa, for example. Thankfully, there is already a vibrant protest movement to end the genocide in Gaza, and even though they haven't been fully successful yet, I'm optimistic that as things naturally (and through hard work) fall apart for various fascists politically, that movement will be able to succeed.

Abstract: Wave-induced melting of vertical ice fronts is represented in several operational iceberg and coastal-erosion models by the rough-wall parameterization of White (1980), whose closure chain is incompletely documented and whose commonly used compact expression is stated at the waterline. We reconstruct the formulation, specify the rough-turbulent wave-friction closure using Jonsson's implicit relation and its Lambert-W solution, and extend the model to a depth-resolved melt-rate profile under linear wave kinematics. Because the horizontal and vertical orbital-velocity components are linked, we use the horizontal component as a convenient representative scale and introduce a dimensionless coefficient alpha for the remaining closure uncertainty. The reconstruction gives a waterline coefficient of 3.0 x 10^-4 with White's resultant-velocity definition and 2.09 x 10^-4 for the reference choice alpha = 1; neither reproduces White's published 1.46 x 10^-4 directly. Two monochromatic wave-flume experiments with freshwater ice are then used to calibrate alpha from profiles below the wave trough. The full Lambert-W friction coefficient is used in this calibration. Best-fit values are 0.684 and 0.612 for periods of 1.54 and 0.87 s, respectively, a relative difference of approximately 11%. Their corresponding effective waterline coefficients, 1.43 x 10^-4 and 1.28 x 10^-4, are close to White's published value but do not constitute an independent validation. The fitted profiles reproduce the observed depth dependence below the trough, while deviations near the surface expose unresolved effects of intermittent submergence, local wave impact, and uncertain thermal forcing.

now I'm not in a position to fall for the sales circus anyway, and likely neither are you, but it will serve as a useful marker of some people's credibility that we can carry into the After Times.
so that's nice at least.

These companies neither employ a lot of people nor do they make products that are of any economic or survival necessity; literally they didn’t exist like 3 years ago.

There’s a note of managed emotion, of keeping the rage in check, that represents neither care for the machine on the other end nor care for the business behind it, but a desire to keep one’s own dignity, one’s own humanity, even in the face of humanity being siphoned away all around.

These attacks on elections are absurd, incoherent, cravenly partisan, nakedly totalitarian. This is obvious. It’s obvious, yet the attacks still work.
Why? Because this is asymmetric warfare. Every attack on democracy needs a carefully reasoned, principled response — democracy rests on principles, or it isn't democracy — but the attackers need be neither reasoned nor principled. They need only be shameless and relentless.
