After months of resistance, the Democratic National Committee finally relented this May and published a draft of its "autopsy" of what had gone wrong in the 2024 election,
saying it was releasing the unfinished document “in its entirety” in the interest of transparency.
But, according to Paul Rivera, the man who wrote the autopsy, the draft omitted a chapter titled

Countable Functionally Balanced Groups
Li-Hong Xie, Jiang Yang
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.12494 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.12494 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.12494

Abstract: We prove that every countable Hausdorff functionally balanced topological group is balanced, answering Question~13 in the problem list of Bouziad and Troallic. The proof does not assume metrizability, first countability, sequentiality, or a non-Archimedean local base. Its non-locally-precompact part combines an infinite-fibre amplification, a simultaneous Bernoulli colouring lemma for countably many arbitrary self-maps, a McShane extension with respect to a continuous left-invariant pseudometric, and the Protasov--Saryev criterion. We also prove a countable-union form of Question~4: in an \(\FSIN\) group, every left uniformly discrete family whose union is countable is right uniformly discrete. Consequently, Questions~7 and~8 have positive answers for \(\aleph_0\)-bounded \(\FSIN\) groups. We reconstruct all thirteen questions and their logical relations. The original problem chapter states, without proof, that a positive answer to Question~13 would imply Question~4 for all \(\aleph_0\)-bounded groups. We isolate the ambient reflection principle needed for that transfer and explain why neither subgroup reduction nor the present colouring proof establishes it. Therefore Question~12 is \emph{not} claimed as solved here: the precise boundary between the proved countable theorem and the asserted \(\aleph_0\)-bounded transfer is recorded explicitly.

Halo Reach: flying around in space
I am, apparently, a little way through the game, and I restarted halfway through chapter 3.

The world feels a lot more empty and open, and you have a sense of partaking in a massive war rather than an…

Chapter 2: Newtonian Growth and Decay
The growth-decay formulas were developed in the trivial fashion by
Isaac Newton's famous brother Phigg. His idea was to provide an equation
that would describe a quantity that would dwindle and dwindle, but never
quite reach zero. Historically, he was merely trying to work out his
mortgage. Another versatile equation also emerged, one which would define
a function that would continue to grow, but never reach unity.…

Exploring Brain Networks Using Noninvasive Electrophysiological Measurements: Methods and Applications
Richard Leahy, Takfarinas Medani
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.17602 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.17602 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.17602

Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) provide noninvasive measurements of brain activity with millisecond temporal resolution, enabling the investigation of functional and effective interactions within large-scale brain networks. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the methodological foundations and practical workflows for EEG/MEG-based brain network analysis. We first review the physical principles underlying EEG and MEG, emphasizing their complementary strengths and limitations. We then describe the forward and inverse problems, including subject-specific head modeling, source reconstruction techniques, and the importance of accurate anatomical modeling for reliable source localization. Strategies for mitigating volume conduction and signal leakage are discussed, together with best practices for source-space connectivity analysis. The chapter reviews widely used functional and effective connectivity measures, including coherence, phase synchronization metrics, amplitude envelope correlation, Granger causality, dynamic causal modeling, and transfer entropy, highlighting their assumptions, advantages, and limitations. Modern end-to-end analysis pipelines are presented, with particular emphasis on Brainstorm and complementary open-source software for reproducible EEG/MEG research. Finally, we discuss emerging approaches, including time-varying connectivity, cross-frequency interactions, and network-based analyses, illustrating how noninvasive electrophysiology contributes to understanding brain organization in health and disease. The chapter provides both conceptual foundations and practical guidance for researchers and advanced students seeking to map and interpret human brain networks using EEG and MEG.

I'm sure a bunch of random people using motorcycles in your ID-checked trainlines would get your attention, but sending a fucking SOLDIER? Why if at this point they don't really know that they're Avalanche and they even got fake IDs?

And specially since she goes visit her parents sometimes, wouldn't it just be safe to use the real ID? Then again, motorcycles on a railway.

I do wonder since this was wheel differential related if this would apply to EVs as well. I suspect it could but non-legacy EV makers in their desire to get to palatable price levels would find a better solution.

Before I got shot, I was trying to figure out how to organize against Trump. I found out about the Twin Cities GDC. They had made it relatively easy to organize a GDC chapter. We were working on getting chartered when I got shot.
Twin Cities GDC sent people to help us get Greater Seattle Seattle GDC off the ground. One of their folks helped my partner make sure the house was secure. They gave all sorts of training. We used their "GDC in a box" zip file that had everything you needed to get started (dues forms, meeting notes templates, etc).
When I got out of the hospital, I ended up talking with Erik a few times. I have a *huge* amount of respect for him.
This is the real threat: support, cooperation, organizing. It's not about militancy. It's about organizing. The fascist state wants to destroy people who build. That's the whole point.
He is a threat because he has worked tirelessly, for years, against countless challenges, to make things better for people. That is the thing that cannot be.

I'm re-reading Dune right now for a variety of reasons, and there's a lot wrong with it IMO (including serious queerphobia/misia & fatmisia), but it also has a ton of very cool ideas. Just came across this chapter-starter quote:
"The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future."
This perfectly matches part of what I was trying to express with my recent short story about the pessimism of techno-optimism:

Just played the first 3 hours or so of Death Stranding, until like the beginning(?) of chapter 2.
Is this game going to be completely american bullshit propaganda or does it gets better?
Hugos mom told him it was a gift, not an illness. Well, sure it might be a gift for him but what about all the people that died from the plague? The rats can't just stay around after that right? If there are no rats he has no powers right?
Also if he went through the first threshold when reuniting with Amicia I wonder what the 2nd game will be about. Maybe the other thresholds are more dangerous?
Also, what did the threshold actually change if his powers remained the same?
Also wonder what's going on with the Inquisitor rn, we'll probably figure out in this chapter.
I also wonder if the plague will still be a thing next game.
Off to chapter 14 we go
Hm, chapter 10 and it's all dark and sad again. Damn.
And whoah I thought I was near the end now but I searched and apparently there are still 7 chapters to go?
Woah, chapter 9 is amazing!! A large open world map in the middle of a linear game! ![]()
![]()
Chapter 9 is great, and then they actually find the solution in the old carriers prision which sets everything up to work out well... But then apparently everything is going off rails now? All for nothing...
Ugh idk, I'll keep playing to see how the game actuality gets there but like... Ugh.
~~Ok, in chapter 2 there's this elevator thing when you're trying to get sulphur. The game devs want you to make your companion hold it for you while you go to the other side, but they show this as if the elevator was locked up when Amicia tries to pull it. But your companion here is clearly weaker and smallwr than you, and yet he's able to pull it just fine? Why not just letting you move the elevator and then say "oops I need to go through instead of to hold this"~~
Nvm I'm dumb, I thought you were supposed to repeatedly press triangle but you should press and hold it instead so that's why it didn't work lmao. I prefere repeatedly pressing like in the previous game, I wonder if there's an option for that...
One thing I find interesting is that in this article Amicia has a bandage that she doesn't have in my game: https://godisageek.com/2022/10/a-plague-tale-requiem-windmill-puzzle-guide/
I thought the La Cuna open world fun was over and that now it'd be now dark full of rats (except for the clear lack of enough fireplaces around it to lit in that case), but maybe Amicia gets hurt now and we get back there? Weird that the article does mention chapter 9 tho...
Also when going to the round tower I didn't think it'd already be the goto the fort and end of the open world, if I did I'd have done a last exploring around the world first (even tho I think I found everything, I did want to see if re entering the castle was possible...)
Oh and yeah I was now reminded that slavery was still a thing when this game is set, add another one to the list of historical facts these games made me notice or remember.
