Hello!
I have a happy favour to ask.
Last year, I had a US intern working with us and she now is looking for help that you- good reader of this account- could give.

Research Study on Data Privacy and Collective Redress
A researcher at University College Dublin wants to conduct anonymous interviews to learn about why you would or would not participate in a legal action to rectify a data protection violation. This information can be used to help nonprofit organizations better represent you when organizations violate your data protection rights. Provide your email to receive more information. All personally identifiable information will be deleted following completion of the study.

Recently I've combined various functions which I've been using in other projects (e.g. my personal PKM toolchain) and published them as new library https://thi.ng/text-analysis for better re-use:
- customizable, composable & extensible tokenization (transducer based)
- ngram gene…

WhatsApp rolls out ads in its Updates tab, a first for the app, and will collect some data to target the ads, but says it has no plans to put ads in chats (New York Times)

WhatsApp Introduces Ads in Its App
They will appear in only one part of the Meta-owned messaging service, it said. The move is potentially lucrative, while raising questions about user privacy.

Some thoughts:
- While the "mini" part of minirack might be debatable for this build, the footprint of my Proxmox cluster has become miniscule when compared to the size of three full-sized ATX builds.
- The Minisforum MS-A2s are very warm bois. Keeping the cables clear from behind the server nodes will pay off tons later as the hot air is unobstructed.
- Putting those massive power bricks into the bottom of the minirack is not going to work. I'm not sure exactl…

Expanding Ricci solitons and Higgs bundles
Motivated by the long-time behavior of Ricci flows that collapse with bounded curvature, we study expanding Ricci solitons with nilpotent symmetry on vector bundles over a closed manifold. We prove that, under mild assumptions that are satisfied by Ricci flow limits, the equations dimension-reduce to the so-called twisted harmonic-Einstein equations. When the base is a surface, we establish a correspondence between solutions of the latter and a class of G-Higgs bundles. This allows us to produc…
