us_agencies: U.S. government agency websites (2018)
50 networks, one for each U.S. state, representing the web-based links between their associated government agencies websites. A node is an entire agency website and a directed edge (i,j) represents the existence of a hyperlink from any webpage in website i to some webpage in website j. Data was collected with a crawler. Nodes are annotated with the number of webpages per website, website name (related to its government function) and U…

Jack Smith says Trump's claims that he won the election were not protected free speech because they were intended to target a government function.
"There is no historical analog for what President Trump did in this case."

For now, here's where I am on student LLM-use:
1) The contemporary university's primary social function is certification.
2) Prompting LLMs does not require a degree. For universities, this is existential.
3) Admin tell faculty - academic freedom! - that we alone (without any support) can solve the problem. We can integrate LLMs or track down their illicit use.
4) My job is to teach, not to police students or hawk the hype. So I teach those who want to learn and …

So there's obviously ICE agents doing it because they're small, power-hungry racists.. but it's clear that a fair number of them are doing it just for the money. The expectation is that they will get back pay once the government shutdown ends, but what happens if it doesn't end? Do we end up with ICE losing the ability to function due to attrition, or do we end up with Trump declaring that ICE agents can keep the spoils of whatever they seize from people they abduct?

New pre-print out: "Types, equations, dimensions and the Pi theorem".
We formalized the covariance principle (physical laws must be independent of units) as a homomorphism between the algebra of physical quantities and real numbers.
While the Pi Theorem from Dimensional Analysis (DA) is non-constructive, we introduce a constructive method for applying it. This could enable DA-driven program derivation where the type checker helps identify valid physical laws.

Released a small update to my early-stage @… map distributor for locally hosting map files.
It now has a small comfort function for updating map files, based on the ones you already got downloaded from a former release. This helps not having to specify your map files of interest for each new map release.
Small warning: I unified the default storage location to be internally consistent (i.e. it's no longer `comaps_folder/maps` but simply `maps`).
