I had set up a Gumroad account years ago to experiment with some digital sales and subscription stuff but after reading that the CEO of Gumroad worked for DOGE and Musk I deleted that fucking account.
Most of us don't have a lot of power individually but we can still make choices about the platforms we use (and don't use).

WIRED Talked to a Fired DOGE Staffer About Who Was Really in Charge
Sahil Lavingia, who says he was fired from DOGE after speaking out about his experiences there, told WIRED about how he communicated with the group, who appears to be in charge, and what might be coming next.

Quantum processes as thermodynamic resources: the role of non-Markovianity
Quantum thermodynamics studies how quantum systems and operations may be exploited as sources of work to perform useful thermodynamic tasks. In real-world conditions, the evolution of open quantum systems typically displays memory effects, resulting in a non-Markovian dynamics. The associated information backflow has been observed to provide advantage in certain thermodynamic tasks. However, a general operational connection between non-Markovianity and thermodynamics in the quantum regime has r…

A $2$-dimensional real Banach space with constant of analyticity less than one
We show that on the real $2$-dimensional Banach space $\ell_1^2$ there is an analytic function $f:B_{\ell_1^2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that its power series at origin has radius of uniform convergence one, but for some $a\in B_{\ell_1^2}$ the power series centred at that point has radius of uniform convergence strictly less than $1-\|a\|$. This result highlights a fundamental distinction in real analytic functions (compared to complex analytic functions), where the radius of analy…

Improved Learning via k-DTW: A Novel Dissimilarity Measure for Curves
This paper introduces $k$-Dynamic Time Warping ($k$-DTW), a novel dissimilarity measure for polygonal curves. $k$-DTW has stronger metric properties than Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and is more robust to outliers than the Fréchet distance, which are the two gold standards of dissimilarity measures for polygonal curves. We show interesting properties of $k$-DTW and give an exact algorithm as well as a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm for $k$-DTW by a parametric search for the $k$-th lar…
