I believe I have managed to prove my ID in order to comply with the new laws that say I have to prove my ID to own the business I own that I'm sure already asked me to prove my ID when I registered it.
First we tried the on-web version, but that apparently relies upon the corporates having managed to profile and track me, because it told me they had no questions upon which to base identification. Good I guess? My avoid-tracking systems must be working at least a bit?
Next we tried the android app, but apparently the phone I tried that with is too old and the app won't install.
So next option is turning up at a post office with a printed letter. I don't own a printer though, so had to have them post that to me.
Took the letter and a driving licence up to the post office today and "It's not going through" they said, pointing to a stalled progress bar on an android app on a tablet.
Um. Okay. So?
Just wait longer apparently. About ten minutes and it finally proceeded and the post office man took a photograph of me after asking me to disrobe of my robe, strip down to a teeshirt and jeans.
Not sure in what sense this has proven my ID any more than it was already proven to get the driving licence or company registration in the first place?
Apparently I now have government logins for "One Login" and for "government gateway" and they are not the same thing? But sort of are the same thing?
Can't say I really understand it. Expect they'll introduce a third government login when they do these Digital ID cards they're talking about.
God knows how I'm supposed to know which to use when the company tax records need updating in a few months.

La « comtesse rouge » et le tombeau interdit : les cendres d’une descendante du dernier roi de France au cœur d’une bataille judiciaire
Henryane de Chaponay a vécu une vie d’engagements, notamment dans la lutte anticoloniale et pour les droits humains. A sa mort, en 2019, cette descendante du dernier roi de France, Louis-Philippe, souhaitait que ses cendres reposent auprès de ses grands-parents, dans la chapelle royale de Dreux. Mais l’actuel prétendant au trône, Jean d’Orléans, s’y oppose.

Growing a Modular Framework for Modal Systems- HOLMS: a HOL Light Library
The present dissertation introduces the research project on HOLMS (\textbf{HOL} Light Library for \textbf{M}odal \textbf{S}ystems), a growing modular framework for modal reasoning within the HOL Light proof assistant. To provide an accessible introduction to the library, the fundamentals of modal logic are outlined first, followed by a concise manual for the proof assistant itself. The core contribution of this work on HOLMS is the development of a unified and modular strategy for proving adequ…

About morbid thriftiness (Autism Spectrum Condition)
As you may have noticed, I am morbidly thrifty. Usually I don't buy stuff that I don't need — and if I decide that I actually need something, I am going to ponder about it for a while, look for value products, and for the best price. And with some luck, I'm going to decide I don't need it that bad after all.
One reason for that is probably how I was raised. My parents taught me to be thrifty, so I have to be. It doesn't matter that, from retrospective, I see that their thriftiness was applied rather arbitrarily to some spendings and not others, or that perhaps they were greedy — spending less on individual things so that they could buy more. Well, I can't delude myself like that, so I have to be thrifty for real. And when I fail, when I pay too much, when I get cheated — I feel quite bad about it.
The other reason is that I keep worrying about my future. It doesn't matter how rich I may end up — I'll keep worrying that I'll run out of money in the future. Perhaps I'll lose a job and won't be able to find anything for a long time, Perhaps something terrible will happen and I'm going to need to pay a lot suddenly.
Another thing is that I easily get attached to objects. Well, it's easier to be thrifty when you really don't want to replace stuff. Over time you also learn to avoid getting new stuff at all, since the more stuff you have, the more stuff may break and need to be thrown away.
Finally, there's my environmental responsibility. I admit that I don't do enough — but at least the things I can do, I do.
[EDIT: and yes, I feel bad about how expensive my new phone was, even though it's of much higher quality than the last one. Also, I got a worse deal because I waited too long.]

with the bar for safe bike infrastructure as low as it is, it's hard to strike the right balance after a project between "hooray! it's so much better!" and "this, that, and the other thing still suck."

SFMTA Leaves Valencia Bike Lanes Unfinished - Streetsblog San Francisco
The center-running lane is long gone and some finishing touches are coming to the parking-protected section from 15th to 23rd, but the lack of concrete infrastructure remains problematic. And then there's the last four blocks from 23rd to Cesar Chavez, which is still just a striped lane wedged between parked cars and moving traffic.

AV1 might take a ton of time to encode, but the results are awesome. I do need to take a look at the VMs though as I'm seeing a ~33% increase in encode times when compared to the previous nodes I was using. Either way, the minirack is still quiet and taking everything that's been thrown its way.

Coherent states of finite-level systems
A method for constructing coherent states (CS) of finite-level systems with a given angular momentum is proposed. To this end we generalize the known spin equation (SE) to an infinite-dimensional Fock space. The equation describes a special quadratic system in the latter space. Its projections on $d$-dimensional subspaces, represent analogs of SE for $d$-dimensional systems in an external electromagnetic field which describe $d$-dimensional systems with a given angular moment.

Conventional image processing approaches, provide a foundation for detecting artifacts on digital pathology slides. H…

Calamus 31 What ship, puzzled at sea
Just when I'm beginning to think I have some facility reading Whitman I meet a head-scratcher like this. Taken literally this is a poem about Whitman offering to guide a boat at sea, or to offer military troops to a besieged city.
But presumably it's a metaphor. Whitman offering to guide and help those in need. It's a little strange?
Hard-pressed for a gay reading here but I'll focus on this:
Here, sailor! Here, ship! take aboard the most perfect pilot.
Here Whitman is offering himself to a sailor, naming himself the most perfect pilot. I could imagine that being a metaphor of sexual mentorship. But honestly that's a stretch.

To validate its effectiveness, we apply cache steering to induce chain-of-thought reasoning in small language models. Our approach leverages GPT-4o-generated reasoning traces to construct steering vectors that shift model behavior toward more explicit, multi-step reasoning without fine-tuning or prompt modifications.

H-Planarity and Parametric Extensions: when Modulators Act Globally
We introduce a series of graph decompositions based on the modulator/target scheme of modification problems that enable several algorithmic applications that parametrically extend the algorithmic potential of planarity. In the core of our approach is a polynomial time algorithm for computing planar H-modulators. Given a graph class H, a planar H-modulator of a graph G is a set X \subseteq V(G) such that the ``torso'' of X is planar and all connected components of G - X belong to H. Here, the to…

Finally, if $ξ^a$ happens to be hypersurface orthogonal near $\mathscr{H}$, then, not o…

Quantum secret sharing in a triangular superconducting quantum network
We present a three-node quantum communication testbed with a triangular topology, each side of the triangle formed by a 1.3-meter-long transmission line. We demonstrate state transfer and entanglement generation between any two nodes, generate genuine multipartite entangled GHZ states, and implement quantum secret sharing (QSS) of classical information. Our experiments show that the QSS protocol can effectively detect eavesdropping, ensuring the secure sharing of secrets. This device forms a te…

Repeated ancilla reuse for logical computation on a neutral atom quantum computer
Quantum processors based on neutral atoms trapped in arrays of optical tweezers have appealing properties, including relatively easy qubit number scaling and the ability to engineer arbitrary gate connectivity with atom movement. However, these platforms are inherently prone to atom loss, and the ability to replace lost atoms during a quantum computation is an important but previously elusive capability. Here, we demonstrate the ability to measure and re-initialize, and if necessary replace, a …
