Hope Is a Practice and a Discipline: Building a Path to a Counterculture of Care - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly
We are wading through hell and high water, tasked with dreaming new worlds into being while the worlds we have known fall down around us. Here, on the edge of everything, the work of cultivating hope and purpose, of anchoring people to one another, is as important now as it has ever been, at any time in human history—because without those efforts, we would be lost in the dark.

Can't tell if this is a welcome return to an interest i've neglected, or an extreme form of procrastination in the face of other commitments, but lately I've felt a strong and quite persistent urge to have another go at working my way through SICP:
(if anyone else on here wanted to have a go at a chapter a week with a bit of discussion on a hashtag, that could be fun)

I have taken too many pictures of tulips for my mind to process, but the poppies have started now and that is not yet a full deluge, so here the first 24h of poppy flowering this season :)

On the fifth and subsequent positive elements in the greedy $B_h$-set
A set ${A}$ of nonnegative integers is called a $B_h$-set if every solution to \(a_1+\dots+a_h = b_1+\dots+b_h\), where $a_i,b_i \in {A}$, has $\{a_1,\dots,a_h\}=\{b_1,\dots,b_h\}$ (as multisets). Let $γ_k(h)$ be the $k$-th positive element of the greedy $B_h$-set. Previous work has given formulas for $γ_i(h)$ for $0\le i \le 4$.

$3$-cluster-free families of subspaces
Three $k$-dimensional subspaces $A$, $B$, and $C$ of an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$ over a finite field are called a $3$-cluster if $A \cap B \cap C = \{\mathbf{0}_V\}$ and yet $\dim(A+B+C) \leq 2k$. A special kind of $3$-cluster, which we call a covering triple, consists of subspaces $A,B,C$ such that $A = (A \cap B )\oplus (A \cap C)$. We prove that, for $2 \leq k \le n/2$, the largest size of a covering triple-free family of $k$-dimensional subspaces is the same as the size of the large…

Soooo....I'm doing a thing...🤭😏
As a lot of you know, Tooters shut down recently and the way it was handled in the end is regrettable.
However, I felt for longest time while it was up, that it was consistently one of the BEST run instances on Fedi with how they protected their users from some of the insanity that happens here.
That being said, with Tooters being gone, it leaves a bit of a hole in my Fedi heart and I know a lot of others as well.
So, I'm creating a new, very limited for now, politically-light (as little politics as possible locally), AI friendly (AI art welcome), Sharkey instance for some folks within my circle that I've grown to consider my friends.
The Social Zone is meant to be a place to escape the very political society we currently all live in and just be social with one another about our hobbies, interests, and day to day lives.
I'm still working out all the details but when I launch it, it's going to be invite only because I'm new to something like this and I want to get it right. Especially because those I will invite are people that are close to me and I don't want to disappoint them.
Depending on how things go for the next few months, including if I can even get this thing started correctly, I MIGHT be open to allowing more members in, down the line.
But, this is just getting started. I registered the domain yesterday and just started researching Sharkey today and how hard it would be to spin something up. Then, of course, there's configuration settings and administration with Sharkey that I have to familiarize myself with.
All in all, I'm very nervous, but excited that I decided to take this next step in my Fedi adventure and hope to eventually "give back" to the entire community, the same positive energy that you've all given me over the past wonderful year of being on this amazing platform.
Please do not ask for invites. I will not be handing them out anytime soon. I've already asked about 5 of you along with some IRL folks and I feel I would like some time to get this right for them first.
Thanks for reading. I hope you understand why I'm choosing to do this and hope you're as excited as me to see where things can go and understand why I feel it's important to have these types of "politically-light" spaces so people can escape such topics from time to time.
Keep on keeping on, Fedi. The future is bright and I'm ready to learn along with you. More info about TheSocial.Zone coming soon!
Your friend,
B.A.

Data reification in a concurrent rely-guarantee algebra
Specifications of significant systems can be made short and perspicuous by using abstract data types; data reification can provide a clear, stepwise, development history of programs that use more efficient concrete representations. Data reification (or "refinement") techniques for sequential programs are well established. This paper applies these ideas to concurrency, in particular, an algebraic theory supporting rely-guarantee reasoning about concurrency. A concurrent version of the Galler-Fis…

The jet of BP Tau
A strong global magnetic field of young low-mass stars and a high accretion rate are the necessary conditions for the formation of collimated outflows (jets) from these objects. But it is still unclear whether these conditions are also sufficient. We aim to check whether BP Tau, an actively accreting young star with a strong magnetic field, has a jet. We carried out narrowband SII 672 nm imaging and spectroscopic observations of BP Tau and its vicinity. We find that BP Tau is a source of a Herb…

Flying With Photons: Rendering Novel Views of Propagating Light

Our approach relies on a new ultrafast imaging setup to capture a first-of-its kind, multi-viewpoint video dataset with picosecond-level temporal resolution. Combined with this dataset, we introduce an efficient neural volume rendering framework based on the transient field. This field is defined as a mapping from a 3D point and 2D direc…

Ring class fields and a result of Hasse
For squarefree $d>1$, let $M$ denote the ring class field for the order $Z[\sqrt{-3d}]$ in $F=Q(\sqrt{-3d})$. Hasse proved that $3$ divides the class number of $F$ if and only if there exists a cubic extension $E$ of $Q$ such that $E$ and $F$ have the same discriminant. Define the real cube roots $v=(a+b\sqrt{d})^{1/3}$ and $v'=(a-b\sqrt{d})^{1/3}$, where $a+b\sqrt{d}$ is the fundamental unit in $Q(\sqrt{d})$. We prove that $E$ can be taken as $Q(v+v')$ if and only if $v \in M$. As byproducts o…

A reminder that especially during the anthropocene, blocking highways is a particularly good (and moral) way to protest.

He's a Republican so we typically expect this, but today really proves Democrats and Republican Mayors+Governors hate our right to protest.

Additive triples in groups of odd prime order
Let $p$ be an odd prime. For nontrivial proper subsets $A,B$ of $\mathbb{Z}_p$ of cardinality $s,t$, respectively, we count the number $r(A,B,B)$ of additive triples, namely elements of the form $(a, b, a+b)$ in $A \times B \times B$. For given $s,t$, what is the spectrum of possible values for $r(A,B,B)$? In the special case $A=B$, the additive triple is called a Schur triple. Various authors have given bounds on the number $r(A,A,A)$ of Schur triples, and shown that the lower and upper bound …

On further questions regarding unit fractions
We prove that a subset $A\subseteq [1, N]$ with \[\sum_{n\in A}\frac{1}{n} \ge (\log N)^{4/5 + o(1)}\] contains a subset $B$ such that \[\sum_{n\in B} \frac{1}{n} = 1.\] Our techniques refine those of Croot and of Bloom. Using our refinements, we additionally consider a number of questions regarding unit fractions due to Erdős and Graham.

Putin’s Russia: first arrests under new anti-LGBT laws mark new era of repression - Global Comment
Sergey Katsuba, University College Dublin Just over three decades after Russia decriminalised homosexuality in 1993, three people have been arrested and charged under the country’s harsh new anti-LGBT laws and could face ten years in prison for membership of an “extremist organisation”. The arrests are a clear indication of how Russia has come full circle

I am so angry at how certain politicians are combining with misinformation/disinformation sources to create huge confusion and misplaced anger and media hyperbole about the carbon tax in BC and Canada, especially when it comes to fuel for "normal" cars and trucks driven by "normal" people.
If you believe the carbon tax is the only or even largest reason gas prices are rising, then you have been lied to.

Discrete Brunn-Minkowski Inequality for subsets of the cube
We show that for all subsets $A_1, A_2,\dots, A_n\subseteq\{0,1\}^d$, we have $$ |A_1+A_2+\dots+A_n| \geq \prod_{i=1}^{n}|A_i|^{(\log_{2}(n+1))/n}. $$ In addition, we show that for all $A, B \subseteq \{0,1,2\}^{d}$ we have $$ |A+B|\geq (|A||B|)^{\log(5)/(2\log(3))}.$$ We also show that for all finite $A,B \subset \mathbb{Z}^{d}$, and any $V \subseteq\{0,1\}^{d}$ the inequality $$ |A+B+V|\geq |A|^{1/p}|B|^{1/q}|…

My >20yo kick drum pedal had a bolt shear off. I went around looking at reviews for what's the new hi-tech awesomeness, because surely after 20 years there's been some major changes, right?
Nope. DW 5000 is still on top (with 9000 being more adjustable in ways that I don't care about, but otherwise the same).

I'm pretty irritated that I'm not allowed to edit (or even log into) #wikipedia because of who my ISP is. I even opened up a case or whatever with them, and haven't heard back.
