Dream Chaser: Entwicklung des Raumgleiters geht trotz ungewisser Zukunft weiter
Eigentlich sollte Dream Chaser dieses Jahr Transportmissionen zur ISS fliegen. Daraus wird nichts, aber Tests bereiten die erste Mission für Ende 2026 vor.

Tonight I had a dream involving meeting a (recovered) fefe. Highly unusual, don't recall ever having dreams involving him before. In any case, let's hope for his best recovery and hopefully the dream will become reality at some point #fefe

I just woke up from a dream. For every parent there is a time when, with shame, we have to explain how the world actually works... when they become a little too old to keep saying, "I'll explain it when you're older."
Amsterdam is full of reminders of the occupation, of the Holocaust. It's impossible to pretend there hasn't been a great evil here... One that's not in the past, but still very alive in the present.
At some point things will have to change because fascism can't last forever. It is a thing which necessarily contains its own downfall. We will, at that point, have an opportunity to make the world one that we can be proud to tell our children we created. We can stop short and reestablish the status quo that got us here, or we can build a world that we will no longer have to explain to each new generation in shame.
What would it look like?
(Shout out to the comrade who prompted me to be thinking about this.)
There was also a sign in my dream that said, "we created the bike, therefore we can do anything." This may or may not be related.

The dream of safe C/C code is here.

HBO has been running ads for “Task” quite heavily this week on Discovery channels (e.g.Science Channel) at a rate of once or twice per ad break. Which is bad enough, but that’s just the framework into which they assort at least 3 *slightly* different 15-second edits. It’s very annoying.

Vistoria: A Multimodal System to Support Fictional Story Writing through Instrumental Text-Image Co-Editing
Humans think visually-we remember in images, dream in pictures, and use visual metaphors to communicate.

Most see civilization, hence inequality, as a tragic necessity. Some dream of returning to a past utopia, of finding an industrial equivalent to ‘primitive communism’, or even, in extreme cases, of destroying everything, and going back to being foragers again. But no one challenges the basic structure of the story.
There is a fundamental problem with this narrative.

Do Teachers Dream of GenAI Widening Educational (In)equality? Envisioning the Future of K-12 GenAI Education from Global Teachers' Perspectives
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly entering K-12 classrooms worldwide, initiating urgent debates about its potential to either reduce or exacerbate educational inequalities. Drawing on interviews with 30 K-12 teachers across the United States, South Africa, and Taiwan, this study examines how teachers navigate this GenAI tension around educational equalities. We found teachers actively framed GenAI education as an equality-oriented practice: they used it to alleviate pre-exis…

Nef cones of Hilbert schemes of points on some K3 surfaces
Let $X$ be a Mori dream K3 surface of Picard rank $2$. We compute the nef cone of the Hilbert scheme $X^{[n]}$ of $n$ points on $X$ for large $n$ using Bridgeland stability methods. We also find bounds on the nef cone for small $n$. Studying the geometry of a $2$-to-$1$ cover $X\rightarrow Q$ of a smooth quadric $Q$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$, and its induced rational map $X^{[2]}\dashrightarrow Q^{[2]}$ on the Hilbert schemes, we calculate the nef cone of $X^{[2]}$ in a particular case.

I dream of them sneaking by CPB, who is then deployed with the rest of the federal forces to occupy cities, in stolen ships repaired with materials stolen from prison construction sites... and with the sale of tariff skipped good, they fund a Cascadian version of the AIF.

Sometimes you have a #dream that leaves you pondering. This time the middle segment involved freeing a certain harmless creature. It wasn't imprisoned in a physical jail but rather barred from leaving by another stronger creature. I've said that I'll keep said guardian busy for half an hour, so the victim could escape. The guardian turned out demonic in nature, and turned into an iron C-shaped bracket that tightened against my right side painfully. So my fight was mostly an attempt to get it off me, or at least stop it from tightening even more.
Since I woke up, I'm wondering if it was just an oddly specific dream, or if my right side actually ached through the night.

On Mori dreamness of blowups along space curves
We study the problem of determining when the blowup $X \to \mathbb{P}^3$ along a smooth space curve $C$ is a Mori Dream Space. We obtain sufficient conditions, as well obstructions to the Mori dreamness of $X$ based on the external geometry of $C$. We furthermore find infinitely many pairs $(g,d)$ such that the corresponding Hilbert schemes $H_{g,d}^S$ admit components whose general element has these obstructions. As a consequence we show that Mori dreamness is not an open property in flat fami…

Really silly dream
I had a really silly #dream recently. I dreamt that my CFL broke. Or more specifically, it kept trying to turn out, successive parts of it were lighting up, then it all went off and tried again. And it looked like it had a bunch of cuts across it, and around these cuts little thunder sparks started appearing, like some kind of STALKER-like anomaly.
I finally flipped the switch, but the anomaly remained, and I wanted to get rid of it in case the sparks could jump onto my hardware and damage something. So I threw a metal bowl towards it, supposing the thunder would jump onto it. While it was flying near the anomaly, it slowed down and started turning back like a boomerang. On top of that, pieces of cat food (don't ask me why I threw a full bowl) were getting out of it and staying in the air levitating. When the bowl reached the floor and started turning again, Mr Ek came close to it and started levitating himself; he was sitting a few centimeters above the floor.
In the middle of all this, I've figured out I should record it. I took a bunch of photos with my phone, before I managed to switch to recording video.
Once I've recorded the fascinating flying bowls and levitating cat food, I needed to go back to discharging the thing. I threw a second metal bowl, and that one started levitating as well. I've figured out that's stupid, and I've found some big ass hammer with a metal end and a wooden handle. I held the end near the lamp to charge it, then tried to find something to discharge it to. I've tried some small stuff like the door handle, but obviously that wasn't sufficient. Finally, I've figured out to use the electricity box, since it is grounded. I held the hammer to it, watching sparks light the semi-darkness; I've recorded that as well.
And that's how much of it I remember.
