After the whole Adam Something "dating advice for leftist men" thing, I realized I should probably write something about that. I didn't, but I realized I should. Here I am sort of getting around to it.
I had a friend call me an "elder" at one point. I was like 35 at that time, but like... a lot of old leftists are just dead or in prison, so we take what we can get I guess. Being also an elder in the sense that I'm an elder millennial, who is also a parent and married for almost 10 years and all that, I guess I'm technically qualified.
So here it is, dating advice for (straight cis) leftist men:
1. Don't.
That's it, actually. That's the whole thing. Let me explain a bit.
First of all, this is dating advice for neuroatypical folks. We're way overrepresented in both extremes because this system wasn't built for us. And that's who is *the most* confused by all the relationship stuff, and most likely to try to apply all this masculinity/manosphere bullshit. I'm also talking a bit from experience here, as a neruo-spicy trying to "figure out" how to date within a paradigm entirely built around neurotypicals and their relationships. It's garbage. Throw it out. There's nothing worth saving.
His video had some line comparing not having sex to your house being on fire. I'm not gonna bother to quote it because I'm busy with actual life. But like, that's exactly what I'm talking about. I recognize that and it's horribly destructive. Men who buy in to patriarchy actually believe this, because those men value themselves based on (hetro) sex. Yeah, if you think you're worthless because you aren't "getting laid" then yeah, you're gonna feel like that's an emergency.
"Dating" as a paradigm turns humans into roles. It dehumanizes us all, and thus makes human connection much harder. It is a game that, like thermonuclear war, can only be won by not playing.
When you abandon "dating" and just act like a human, everything starts to be easier. There's no such thing as being "friend zoned" because you're just friends. Sometimes friendships become other things, sometimes they don't. It doesn't actually matter, because if you're actually there for friendship then you don't *need* anything else.
My grandma, at 98 I think, gave me some advice. My grandparents always got along well, and were married for enough decades that I listened really closely. She told me I should just do things I loved to do and everything else would work itself out.
And it kind of did.
I understand the fear, the idea that you'll die alone. I get that. I get the loneliness. It all hits a lot harder when you have ADHD emotions and past trauma. I get that. But that fear is self-manifesting. When you build your confidence, when you don't *need* to be "in a relationship," you have more room to actually build relationships. For me, dating was dehumanizing. When I abandoned that, I was able to actually be a good partner, and I was able to find my partner.
I would advise against marriage as well, but we did get married for legal reasons. It can still be hard to maintain that, to see each other as people rather than roles. That becomes extra hard as parents. But the times that we cut through that are the times we're closest. Those are the times when it becomes easier to remember that we're both humans and all human relationships need tending.
Roles don't need to be tended because they are classifications. Classifications are static. But relationships between humans are not. Humans are messy and chaotic. Humans have all kinds of complex needs and desires.
So yeah, don't date. Just be a human and see what happens. Maybe google "relationship anarchy" and see where it takes you.
If you have ADHD, it can be especially useful to understand that relationships with neurotypical folks can be especially difficult. Assume you're incompatible with 90% of the population as your baseline, and you'll start to understand why the standard "dating" thing has made you feel so alienated and miserable.
Neurotypical folks generally have no idea that atypicality exists, much less how it impacts relationships. Having to conform to a neurotypical relationship just adds additional mental strain unless you find someone (really special) who can do at least some of the work.
The ADHD thing was especially important for me. There were so many things I was told to do in specific ways by neurotypicals that never worked for me. Their advice always made me feel like a failure. When I was finally diagnosed, I realized they were just giving advice for the wrong type of brain. It was advice I could never use. Basically all dating advice I ever got fell into this same category.
That's my braindump. Maybe I'll develop it more in the future, but I'm busy so maybe not. I hope it helps someone who is struggling like I was.

Asymmetric warfare requires a different type of society. Old order will not survive because it cannot. It will adapt, but the adaptation can only go so far.
Cybernetics predicts that it will be impossible for the old society to adapt because it cannot possibly develop the level of complexity needed to respond to the increasingly complex environment.
Rather, *we,* the rebellion, will continue to live this day over and over again until *we* evolve to produce a level of complexity that cannot be managed by an oppressive system.

Abstract: Low-altitude wireless networks (LAWN) require drones to follow specific trajectories controlled by ground base stations (GBSs). However, given complex low-altitude channel conditions and limited spectrum and power resources, sensing errors and wireless link unreliability cannot be ignored, leading to trajectory deviations that threaten flight safety. To address this issue, this paper proposes an integrated sensing-communication-control (ISCC) closed-loop trajectory tracking approach, aiming to reveal the coupling mechanisms among communication, sensing, and control during drone flight. In detail, we incorporate sensing errors in trajectory state estimation, packet losses in control command transmission, and finite blocklength transmission effects into the closed-loop dynamics. First, through theoretical analysis, we identify the dominant role of the time-frequency resources allocated to control in ensuring system stability and derive a lower bound on the resources required to guarantee stable operation. Second, to minimize tracking error, we formulate a time-frequency resource allocation optimization problem for the sensing, communication, and control components, subject to constraints on communication rate and closed-loop stability. Accordingly, a solution algorithm based on successive convex approximation is proposed. Third, simulation results indicate that once stability is ensured, system performance is primarily determined by sensing accuracy, with the trajectory tracking error exhibiting an approximately linear dependence on the position error bound. Finally, it is shown that the proposed ISCC scheme avoids trajectory divergence under FBL transmission compared with ISCC designs ignoring control packet loss, and could achieve decimeter-level average tracking accuracy, reducing the error to only 17.37% of that observed in the baseline global navigation satellite system scheme.

From synthetic turbulence to true solutions: A deep diffusion model for discovering periodic orbits in the Navier-Stokes equations

Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence has shown remarkable success in synthesizing data that mimic complex real-world systems, but its potential role in the discovery of mathematically meaningful structures in physical models remains underexplored. In this work, we demonstrate how a generative diffusion model can be used to uncover previously unknown solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation: the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in a turbulent regime. Trained on data from a direct numerical simulation of turbulence, the model learns to generate time series that resemble physically plausible trajectories. By carefully modifying the temporal structure of the model and enforcing the symmetries of the governing equations, we produce synthetic trajectories that are periodic in time, despite the fact that the training data did not contain periodic trajectories. These synthetic trajectories are then refined into true solutions using an iterative solver, yielding 111 new periodic orbits (POs) with very short periods. Our results reveal a previously unobserved richness in the PO structure of this system and suggest a broader role for generative AI: not as replacements for simulation and existing solvers, but as a complementary tool for navigating the complex solution spaces of nonlinear dynamical systems.

There are all sorts of complex practices and laws around churches, because "religious freedom" is really a minefield. It's not that the state cares about the law, but that the narrative of the US is deeply intertwined with the narrative of "religious freedom" and "escaping religious persecution." (I probably don't need to tell anyone that the people "escaping religious persecution" were some of the absolute worst humans on the planet who were not being persecuted but wanted to be free to persecute others... but I digress.)
It is not aligning with the law that matters, nor any other sort of legal justification for their authority. Authority comes from a complex memetic fabric of woven ideas. This fabric can be attacked, these threads can be pulled out, and eventually the fabric unravels and the authority collapses.
When central authority collapses, dual power institutions pick up the pieces. They replace the faltering authority. Today, as the US government is frantically burning itself down, corporations and churches are the two most developed institutions prepared to fill that void,

Deep learning of committor and explainable artificial intelligence analysis for identifying reaction coordinates
Toshifumi Mori, Kei-ichi Okazaki, Kang Kim, Nobuyuki Matubayasi

arXiv:2603.25237v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In complex molecular systems, the reaction coordinate (RC) that characterizes transition pathways is essential to understand underlying molecular mechanisms. This review surveys a framework for identifying the RC by applying deep learning to the committor, which provides the most reliable measure of the progress along a transition path. The inputs to the neural network are collective variables (CVs) expressed as functions of atomic coordinates of the system, and the corresponding RC is predicted as the output by training the network on the committor as the learning target. Because deep learning models typically operate in a black-box manner, it is difficult to determine which input variables govern the predictions. The incorporation of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques enables quantitative assessment of the contributions of individual input variables to the predictions. This approach allows the identification of CVs that play dominant roles and demonstrates that the committor distribution on the surface using important CVs is separated by well-defined boundaries. The framework provides an explainable deep learning strategy for assigning a molecular mechanism from the RC and is applicable to a wide range of complex molecular systems.

The method was previously introduced as a tamper detection method for authenticating a single radiation detector in nuclear safeguards and treaty verification scenarios, and works by randomly sampling detector configuration parameters to produce a sequence of spectra that form a baseline signature of an untampered system. At a later date, after potential tampering, the same random sequence of parameters is used to generate another series of spectra that can be compared against the baseline. Anomalies in the series of comparisons indicate changes in detector behavior, which may be due to tampering. One limitation of this original method is that once the detector has `gone downrange' and may have been tampered with, the original baseline is fixed, and a new trusted baseline can never be established if tests at new parameters are required. In this work, we extend our anti-tamper fuzz testing concept to multiple detector units, such that the downrange detector can be compared against a trusted or `golden copy' detector, even despite normal inter-detector manufacturing variations. We show using three NaI detectors that this inter-detector differential fuzz testing can detect a representative attack, even when the tested and golden copy detectors are from different manufacturers and have different performances. Here, detecting tampering requires visualizing the comparison metric vs. the parameter values and not just the sample number; moreover this baseline is non-linear and may require anomaly detection methods more complex than a simple threshold. Overall, this extension to multiple detectors improves prospects for operationalizing the technique in real-world treaty verification and safeguards contexts.

Recommendations on a 24port 2.5 and 10Gbs switch for a home network?
I would like to swap out my aged 1Gbs managed switch with an unmanaged variety. (I used VLANs at the start but long ago decided they were more work than they were worth for even a relatively complex/busy home network)
currently trolling ebay.
Oh, also if you have recommendations for places to obtain such a beast with decent shipping to Canada, let me know!

As salty as I am about it, there's also another way to think about this. For anyone who still has connections to folks on the right (which is perhaps unlikely for anyone on this server, I digress), the cult that has consumed them thrives on isolation and grievance.
The words "you were right" have the potential to cut through the programming and open up an opportunity for reconnection. The modern conspiratorial cult of the Right has been built partially around people who were told they were wrong or were crazy. In the vast majority of cases, they were wrong and even when they were right they completely misunderstood why, but we'll skip that for now. Liberals making fun of them (even the times when they definitely earned it) has pushed them further and further into their ideological hole.
The thing about those words, "you were right," in this context is that the way they offer reconnection also requires them to take one little step of betraying their ideology to accept them. So they must choose between maintaining allegiance to a pedophile or finally getting to feel superior after years of living in an illusion of persecution.
Under the ideology of the Right, admitting one is wrong is a weakness. It is admitting defeat. They have to "own the libs" by saying things, things that they know aren't true, in order to feel dominant. But these things are often so absurd that they end up being made fun of, feeling even more weak and pathetic, reinforcing their fear and alienation.
Offering what they're looking for can offer a way out, but only if they're willing to start to recognize the thing they've supported for what it is.
And they were right about some things. They were right that Bill Gates was a terrible person. I've had plenty of liberals defend him based on his philanthropy washing, but he's awful and always has been. The Epstein links make that blatant. They intuitively recognized him and didn't trust him, even if they were wildly off base about *how and why* he shouldn't be trusted... Even if their correct mistrust was leveraged into one of the most destructive conspiracy theories ever (vaccine denial and COVID vaccine avoidance).
They were right about Bill Clinton. He was always shady as fuck. Sure, the people who attacked him at the time turned out to be even more shady but that's not the point right now. He was connected to Epstein and that was always creepy as fuck.
And the Epstein thing was an open secret that liberals ignored for a long time. It was seen as some weird thing that right wing nutjobs believed about the Clintons. But it was true. Not all of it, and there has always been an antisemitic element to the right wing interpretation or Epstein stuff, but his whole pedophile conspiracy was always kind of real.
The whole "Illuminati"/deep state thing is a vast oversimplification, an attempt to make comprehensible an incredibly complex set of interlocking and emergent behaviors. But Epstein did very much want to remake the world, to create a new world order, and he absolutely played a part in it.
The Right wing nutjobs talked about global authoritarianism, Blackhawks flying over American cities, masked men with guns disarming and executing legal gun owners in the streets. That's all happening right now.
The "FEMA concentration camps" are not actually that far off. ICE and FEMA are sister agencies, both under DHS. I'd be more than happy to call that one "close enough" in order to hear some MAGA admit that ICE is, in fact, building concentration camps.
There was always a huge millennialist element to these things. They tended to be connected to "the antichrist." It was absurd, especially for me as someone who no longer identifies as a Christian. But I'll even acquiess that to a degree. The "the number of the Beast" is 666. That's just the sum of the Hebrew spelling of "Nero." Revelations focuses a lot on Nero coming back to life after his death. His death that involved a head wound, thus the line from Revelation 13:3:
> And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.
The parallels between Trump and Nero are easy to draw, and Trump's ear wound feels pretty on-the-nose for this. I don't believe in "prophecy" in this way. I think that there are patterns, and useful patterns can become encoded in beleif systems. But I will, again, happily call this one "close enough" for anyone on that side willing to also acknowledge it. I'm happy to meet on that common ground, because anyone who accepts it must recognize that their duty is to fight against it.
A lot of these correct nuggets are embedded in a framework of religious extremism and antisemitism. The vast majority of the beliefs holding these together are wildly wrong and incredibly toxic. But by giving some room to feel validated, listened to, understood, can give some room to admit things that were wrong.
Cult de-programming starts with an opening. People have to talk through their own thoughts, hear their own inconsistencies. Guiding questions can help them untangle these things for themselves. And it all starts by having enough room to feel safe, to not feel cornered, to not feel stupid. Admitting mistakes means being vulnerable, and the MAGA cult is built on fear. It's built on exploiting vulnerability and locking it away.
De-programming takes a long time. It's not easy. It takes patience. But every person who comes out does so with a powerful perspective, a deep understanding, that can be turned back against it. The best people at getting people out of cults are former members. Some of the most dedicated antifa are former fascists who understood their mistakes and dedicate their lives to fixing them.

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce \emph{$\ell^p$-information geometry}, an infinite-dimensional framework that shares key features with the geometry of the space of probability densities \( \mathrm{Dens}(M) \) on a closed manifold, while also incorporating aspects of measure-valued information geometry. We define the \emph{$\ell^2$-probability simplex} with a noncanonical differentiable structure induced via the \emph{$q$-root transform} from an open subset of the \( \ell^q \)-sphere. This choice makes the \(q\)-root transform an \emph{isometry} and allows us to construct the \(\ell^2\)- and \(\ell^q\)-Fisher--Rao geometries, including \emph{Amari--\v{C}encov \(\alpha\)-connections} and a \emph{Chern connection} in the \(\ell^q\)-setting.
We then apply this framework to an infinite-dimensional linear optimization problem. We show that the corresponding gradient flow with respect to the \(\ell^2\)--Fisher--Rao metric can be solved explicitly, converges to a maximizer under a natural monotonicity assumption, and admits an interpretation as the geodesic flow of an \emph{exponential connection}. In particular, we prove that this \(e\)-connection is \emph{geodesically complete}. We further relate these flows to a \emph{completely integrable Hamiltonian system} through a \emph{momentum map} associated with a Hamiltonian torus action on infinite-dimensional complex projective space.
Finally, inspired by the \(\ell^2\)-theory, we outline an analogous Fisher--Rao geometry for \( \mathrm{Dens}(M) \) on possibly noncompact Riemannian manifolds, showing that, with a suitable spherical differentiable structure, the square-root transform remains an \emph{isometry}.

If you think #vibecoding is fine, let me ask you a single question: would you use a medical device whose software was vibecoded? And by "medical device" I mean something where a bug could literally kill you.
If you answered "oh, gawd, no!" then consider that anytime you use an #LLM to contribute to or develop an #OpenSource project, there's a chance that this code will end up powering such a device. And even if it doesn't, you're setting a trend, and it will be even more likely that the software used by these devices will be vibecoded.
I have type 1 #diabetes. I also lead a physically active life. This is both a blessing and a curse. My doctors keep suggesting Constant Glucose Monitoring systems and insulin pumps to me. And I do realize that such hardware would likely improve my blood glucose, and definitely make my life much easier (especially with a closed loop system).
So why do my fingertips look like crap, and I keep using a glucometer and insulin pens? Because I don't want to risk my life to an unnecessarily complex technology.
Admittedly, I occasionally get things wrong and suffer consequences. Or I suspect I got them wrong and worry. Or meet an unexpected situation and need to figure out a way out. Or even accept having elevated glucose levels (as in nearing 200 mg/dl) because there's just no way to safely fit insulin doses on a particular day.
But still, I prefer having control and risking my own mistakes to a device that could suddenly start pumping insulin because of a bug. And that was even before the story of the application that stripped the decimal point and gave people ten times the dose. Or the one about CGMs giving wrong high glucose alerts. Or the whole vibecoding fancy.
Back then, I could have considered such a device. Now, I'm more worried than ever. And honestly, I'm hoping that relatively simple glucometers will remain available. To think that my worst fear used to be of a mechanical fault…
