So…is governor abbott planning to assassinate Texas state legislators?
Next step after locking Nicole Collier in the capital, right?
Not even 1st state legislator in U.S. assassinated this year.
At what point does “don’t mess with Texas” flex its strength and stop abbott?

Texas Democratic legislator to stay in State Capitol after refusing law enforcement escort to leave
First, Texas House Democrats refused to meet in their legislative chamber in an act of resistance.

Het kan elke dag nog weer gekker daar in de VS. Nu wordt er een Texaans parlementslid door de republikeinen opgesloten in het parlement.

Categorical Construction of Logically Verifiable Neural Architectures
Neural networks excel at pattern recognition but struggle with reliable logical reasoning, often violating basic logical principles during inference. We address this limitation by developing a categorical framework that systematically constructs neural architectures with provable logical guarantees. Our approach treats logical theories as algebraic structures called Lawvere theories, which we transform into neural networks using categorical algebra in the 2-category of parametric maps. Unlike e…

Republican state legislators in California filed suit on Tuesday
to block a mid-year redistricting plan meant to counter Texas’s effort to redraw congressional district lines.
The emergency petition argues that the process being used in the California assembly violates laws requiring a 30-day period between the introduction of legislation and voting on it.

Composable logical gate error in approximate quantum error correction: reexamining gate implementations in Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill codes
Quantifying the accuracy of logical gates is paramount in approximate error correction, where perfect implementations are often unachievable with the available set of physical operations. To this end, we introduce a single scalar quantity we call the (composable) logical gate error. It captures both the deviation of the logical action from the desired target gate as well as leakage out of the code space. It is subadditive under successive application of gates, providing a simple means for analy…

Non-Iterative Symbolic-Aided Chain-of-Thought for Logical Reasoning
This work introduces Symbolic-Aided Chain-of-Thought (CoT), an improved approach to standard CoT, for logical reasoning in large language models (LLMs). The key idea is to integrate lightweight symbolic representations into few-shot prompts, structuring the inference steps with a consistent strategy to make reasoning patterns more explicit within a non-iterative reasoning process. By incorporating these symbolic structures, our method preserves the generalizability of standard prompting techniq…

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave?
Honestly, I think livestream: dance on other legislators’ desks. Mock w/parody lyrics from show-tunes, raid copier paper to stuff empty suits and print out opposition faces and put them in seats & act out humiliating legislative scenes.
You’re not locked in with them, their seats are locked in with you.

David Barton isn’t just a primary pitchman for the Ten Commandments law in Texas
His fingerprints appear on 28 bills that have cropped up before the legislatures in 18 states this year.
A data analysis of the bills exposes how their language, structure and requirements are inherently identical.
In dozens of instances, they match model legislation pitched by Barton verbatim.
At the Texas hearing, Barton’s eyes fixated on the cover of the rare 1782 Aitken Bible.

28 Bills, Ten Commandments and 1 Source: A Christian Right ‘Bill Mill’
More than a dozen state bills — and three new laws mandating the Ten Commandments in public schools — are virtually identical to model legislation.
