Huh, so the American "No Kings Day" is happening on the same day as the Commonwealth's "Kings Official Summer Birthday".
Strange coincidence.
I think there should be no kings and no king's birthday celebrations FWIW. Power passed down the genetic line like a mutation is ridiculous, and anyway no power should be concentrated in one person like that in the first place.
Have a happy holiday, whichever you are celebrating/protesting.

Ricardo Mendes, born and raised within the Buddhist cult-like community Ogyen Kunzang Choling (OKC), describes in his testimony how this community, initially founded on ideals of spirituality, communal living, and alternatives to Western society, gradually became a sectarian organization

Ever since Homo sapiens came out of Africa, migration has been part and parcel of humanity's history and culture. Immigration, however, is just a byproduct of arbitrary borders, which are a much more recent invention than is commonly realised. Passports and visa became mandatory for crossing borders only in the era of modern nationalism, around the time of WW I.

“I hope this message finds you well.”
Is this a phrase commonly used outside the USA? The only time I ever see it is in the simulated #phishing emails they test us with at work.

Primary care shortage affects 44% of Virginia's neighborhoods, almost 3.8 million residents, study finds
Nearly half of Virginia's neighborhoods don't have enough nearby primary care physicians for their residents, with rural communities being hit hardest by workforce shortages, according to a new study led by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Commonly Graded Algebras and Their Homological Properties
In this article, we study bounded-below locally finite $\mathbb{Z}$-graded algebras, which are referred to as commonly graded algebras in literature. Commonly graded algebras have almost similar theory as that of connected graded algebras, but sometimes the results need different methods of proof. We give several characterizations of commonly graded AS-Gorenstein algebras, and show that any noetherian commonly graded AS-Gorenstein algebra admits a balanced dualizing complex. We then study (sk…

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.

ILT-Iterative LoRA Training through Focus-Feedback-Fix for Multilingual Speech Recognition
The deep integration of large language models and automatic speech recognition systems has become a promising research direction with high practical value. To address the overfitting issue commonly observed in Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) during the supervised fine-tuning (SFT) stage, this work proposes an innovative training paradigm Iterative LoRA Training (ILT) in combination with an Iterative Pseudo Labeling strategy, effectively enhancing the theoretical upper bound of model performance. Bas…

Magic Steady State Production: Non-Hermitian and Stochastic pathways
Universal quantum computers require states with both entanglement and non-stabilizerness, the latter property being commonly known as \textit{quantum magic}. Here, we introduce a protocol that prepares magic steady states by leveraging non-Hermitian dynamics, which, contrary to unitary dynamics, can host pure-state attractors. We investigate the dissipative qubit, in which we find the optimal parameters to prepare $|H\rangle$ and $|T\rangle$ states. Interestingly, this approach does n…
