Okay, I wrote a little bit about Sly, and about Janet and Prince, and the very first thing I ever blogged about, and how Sly maybe invented some not-small part of the world we live in. And also about the scariest live show I've ever been to. https://www.anildash.com/2025/06/09/sly-st

Sly Stone and the Scariest Show Ever

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard posted a bizarre video about nuclear bombs on X this morning.
She says we are “closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before…”
(Breaking the video into a 2 part 🧵 bc of video post limits, but watch to the end..it gets weird.)

Enhancements in velocity-dependent dark matter annihilation in Galactic subhalos
We examine velocity-dependent dark matter annihilation in subhalos using a sample of six Milky Way-like galaxies from the Aurgia simulation suite. We quantify the enhancement in the annihilation rate in subhalos when including the contribution from particles in the smooth component of the halo that overlap with the subhalos. The enhancement in the annihilation rate scales with the smooth component of the host halo dark matter density, and is evident for subhalos over the resolvable mass range. …

Thermal corrections to dark matter annihilation with real photon emission/absorption
The dark matter relic density is being increasingly precisely measured. This relic density is theoretically determined by a Boltzmann equation which computes the dark matter distribution according to the (thermally averaged) cross section for annihilation/production of dark matter within a given model. We present here the complete higher order thermal corrections, calculated using real time thermal field theory, to the cross section for the annihilation of dark matter into Standard Model fermio…

Revisiting Chien-Hrones-Reswick Method for an Analytical Solution
This study presents an analytical method for tuning PI controllers in First-Order with Time Delay (FOTD) systems, leveraging the Lambert W function. The Lambert W function enables exact pole placement, yielding analytical expressions for PI gains. The proposed approach identifies a critical condition that achieves a step response without overshoot with minimum settling time, while also providing explicit tuning rules for systems where controlled overshoot is specified. The method demonstrates s…

A Unified Ontology for Scalable Knowledge Graph-Driven Operational Data Analytics in High-Performance Computing Systems
Modern high-performance computing (HPC) systems generate massive volumes of heterogeneous telemetry data from millions of sensors monitoring compute, memory, power, cooling, and storage subsystems. As HPC infrastructures scale to support increasingly complex workloads-including generative AI-the need for efficient, reliable, and interoperable telemetry analysis becomes critical. Operational Data Analytics (ODA) has emerged to address these demands; however, the reliance on schema-less storage s…

Mirror Symmetry in Geometric Constraints: Analytic and Riemann-Roch Perspectives
Building upon the discovery of mirror symmetry phenomena in compatible pair Spencer complexes, this paper develops rigorous analytical foundations through systematic application of elliptic perturbation theory and characteristic class analysis. We establish a comprehensive multi-level framework revealing the mathematical mechanisms underlying the symbolic transformation $(D,λ) \mapsto (D,-λ)$: metric invariance analysis via Spencer metric theory, topological isomorphisms through elliptic oper…
