“As we consider these three risks, we don’t have to speculate about how AI data centers might affect Massachusetts. Consider Ireland, a country with a similar population size, where AI has driven a data center boom. Warehouses full of servers are on pace to use one-third of Ireland’s electricity, drawing from fossil-fuel power plants and wind farms alike. That keeps old, dirty plants on the grid, sucks up renewable energy that otherwise would help replace fossil fuels, and drives up costs fo…

karate: Zachary Karate Club
Network of friendships among members of a university karate club. Includes metadata for faction membership after a social partition. Note: there are two versions of this network, one with 77 edges and one with 78, due to an ambiguous typo in the original study. (The most commonly used is the one with 78 edges.).
This network has 34 nodes and 78 edges.

Reading a preprint paper on threat intelligence dated December 2025, and it claims that MISP uses an XML format and that OpenIOC is still commonly used.
I’m guessing they relied on an LLM trained on a 2014-era dataset.

Abstract: Motivated by recent experiments, the theoretical study of wave propagation in time varying materials is of current interest. Although significant in nearly all such experiments, material dispersion is commonly neglected in theoretical studies. Yet, as we show here, understanding the precise microscopic model for the material dispersion is crucial for predicting experimental outcomes. Here we study the temporal scattering coefficients of four different time-varying Drude-Lorentz models, exploring how an incident continuous wave splits into forward and backward waves due to an abrupt change in plasma frequency. The differences in the predicted scattering are unique to time-varying media, and arise from the exact way in which the time variation appears in the various model parameters. We verify our results using a custom finite difference time domain algorithm, concluding with a discussion of the limitations that arise from using these models with an abrupt change in plasma frequency.
