Up to 1.3 MWh solar generation this month, so I'm ahead of April's 1.2 already. Looking forward to seeing what the monthly total ends up at.
Of course I consumed 3.3 MWh month to date so I'm nowhere near neutral, but I'd much rather pay for 2 MWh of power than 3.3 with today's prices...
Looking at some more lab consolidation to see if I can shove more stuff into virtual environments and have another lab workstation in suspend/off when not actively used.

Just finished "Snake-Eater" by T. Kingfisher (@…). I'd read and thoroughly enjoyed her "Digger" webcomic, and found this book to be quite enjoyable too. There's something indelibly heartwarming about an anxious character growing to feel more comfortable and self-assured, especially when escaping and unlearning emotional abuse, and I'm certainly a sucker for heartwarming characters. I like the way that Kingfisher has taken time to talk about and try to avoid cultural appropriation, in a way that I feel is reasonable, although of course I'm not an expert judge of the nuances and I'm biased by having liked the book, so I'm willing to be told things are complicated in that regard it others judge differently. I also really liked the window dressing of a vaguely solarpunk future society, in a book that's not at all about that society. I'd love to see Kingfisher write something focused on how that society could work (or maybe she already has?).
Probably going to look up some of Kingfisher's fantasy books soon.

Faraday waves covered by a viscoelastic sheet

arxiv.org/abs/2605.18273 arxiv.org/pdf/2605.18273 arxiv.org/html/2605.18273

Abstract: The hydroelastic response of free floating viscoelastic covers is measured using Faraday waves on the surface of a vertically oscillated fluid layer. We systematically vary the thickness $d$ of the covers to investigate its effect on the hydroelastic dispersion relation, the damping and the isotropy of the waves. Compared to bare fluids, the wave patterns are disordered. Various methods are explored to define and analyze the wavelengths, the isotropy, and shape of the waves. We find a significant difference between the measurements and the theoretical dispersion relation. Over all thicknesses $d$, this is explained by an increase in the in-plane membrane tension, which scales with $d^{3/2}$. Covering waves also has a large efect on their damping. Only for thin covers ($d = 20\: \mu{\rm m}$) the onset amplitude (and thus the damping) can be explained by dissipation in the bulk and in the boundary layer of the water beneath the cover. The same was found for bare water due to the presence of an immobile surface layer. Lastly, we find a large effect of the membrane on the ampitude of the waves, which we attribute to nonlinear wave interaction.

Non-symmetric vector dyson equations

arxiv.org/abs/2607.16333 arxiv.org/pdf/2607.16333 arxiv.org/html/2607.16333
arXiv:2607.16333v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study the vector Dyson equation $$-\frac{1}{m(z)}=z\mathbf{1} \mathbf{a} Sm(z),$$ with parameter $z$ in the complex upper half-plane $\mathbb{C}_ $, where $\mathbf{a}\in\mathbb R^d$ and $S$ is a nonnegative matrix, not necessarily symmetric. This equation has a unique vector solution $m(z)\in\mathbb{C}_ ^d$, for which we establish a complete measure decomposition and prove regularity. We then develop a graph-theoretic approach to the singularity and stability problem for non-symmetric matrices $S$. The graph structure of $S$ identifies the possible degeneracies of the stability operator as $z$ approaches the real axis. In particular, for non-backtracking matrices, we prove square-root growth at regular edges, cubic-root growth at regular cusps, and complete stability estimates. We also obtain the corresponding estimates for symmetric matrices in the periodic setting.

I have another fun project idea that I'm not going to realize.
What I'd love to have is a heat map of "how soon can I get there". One where I select my train station, and get a map of all train stations I can reach within N hours, each marked with the earliest arrival time and colored by how late I'll get there. Including all the reasonable transfers.
Say, the first train from here goes to Konin, so I get its arrival times marked on all stations towards Konin. Then, I can transfer to a few trains in Poznań, so I get their arrival times on their respective stations. And then all the transfers there, and so on.
So what I'd get is a pretty colorful map, with arrival time getting later with distance, except for major stations where IC trains get earlier than suburban trains, and then backwards from major stations where I can get via IC and then change into suburban going back. It would be such a cool experiment!
And honestly, I could start playing with it even with a partially automated tool: one that lets me select a given train and updated the map if it arrived somewhere earlier than I had before.

Working in computer security, I've learned to be *real fucking careful* about this law and have heard of it being interpreted *very broadly.* If a client of mine described a system to circumvent access restrictions like this I would fire them. But assuming I didn't fire them, I would
1) tell them to shut it down immediately
2) tell them to talk to a lawyer.
LLMs, as a class of user, are clearly not authorized to access the information. By circumventing access controls, they have "knowingly accessed a computer without authorization." Those access restrictions exist to protect against various damages, including bandwidth use and "intellectual property theft" (another concept I'm not a fan of, but anyway). By violating those restrictions they could open themselves up to legal liability.
Now, IANAL. My job is to describe risk. That's a sufficient risk. It actually doesn't even matter if you'd win the case in the end, a lot of people just can't afford to fight.
But, in this case, it tends to be powerful people, for whom the law does not apply, abusing people who neither have the protection of the law nor the money to just ruin someone's life with a flood of lawyers.

Added Power Grips (pedal straps) to my wife's #Brompton. Not going to say it's my nicest work, but I'm hopeful that it'll hold. I only drilled holes through the plastic reflectors; the metal is all intact. I can change that later if needed. #BikeTooter

The right side pedal. The red Brompton is folded up (doesn't even really look like a bike), but the right crank has a normal-looking pedal with a black strap on it. The metal hardware attachment has screws going through the orange plastic reflector of the pedal.

The bike's on a white rug w/ black line pattern.
The opposite side of that same right pedal. You have a better view of the opposite side of the orange reflector, with nuts and washers attached to the bolts that go through it. The red folding bike it's attached to is just a jumble of stem, wheel, drivetrain, etc.
The left-side pedal (and behind it, the brompton logo on the red frame). The pedal is folded up so that it is parallel to the crank arm. The orange reflector is missing from the exposed side of the pedal. Of the two screws that held the reflector in, one is missing (just an empty screw hole), and the other is screwed into the end of the black Power Grip strap.
The other side of the left pedal. This time the pedal is unfolded (so it's perpendicular to the crank arm), and the plastic grey reflector mount is installed but only one side is screwed in. The orange reflector is actually missing, and underneath you can see the silver Power Grips attachment hardware. Though normally you'd have two screws holding the attachment hardware in, there's only one screw there; the grey reflector mount is on top of it, pinching it down to hold it in place. Essentially…

Today is the day I finally upgrade the fysh.org servers to Debian 13/trixie. I'll be using this thread to allow fysh.org users to follow along. Other folk should probably just mute this thread (I'd make it quiet public, but I *do* want a hash tag search to work).

I'm already exhausted by the Toronto politics narrative that's going to bombard us non-stop through the election: "mayoral race has tightened." I've seen no evidence whatsoever that Brad Bradford - my councillor - has any business being elected to the office he holds, much less the mayoral position. Toronto's got problems. It'd be great if we could avoid making Bradford an even bigger one.

Quantum Occam Learning: Sample-Supported Expressibility for Circuit-Based Quantum Learning
Jeongho Bang, Kyoungho Cho, Jeongwoo Jae
arxiv.org/abs/2606.12211 arxiv.org/pdf/2606.12211 arxiv.org/html/2606.12211
arXiv:2606.12211v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A central principle in quantum machine learning is that an ansatz should be expressive enough to represent the quantum data of interest. Yet, the expressibility is statistically meaningful only insofar as it can be learned from finitely many copies of an unknown quantum state. In this work, we develop an information-theoretic Occam theory for quantum data generated by finite-size quantum circuits. For the class $S_{n,G}$ of $n$-qubit pure states preparable with at most $G$ two-qubit gates, a metric-entropy argument gives the realizable sample law $\widetilde{\Theta}(G/\epsilon^2)$ in the circuit-limited regime. For an arbitrary source $\hat{\rho}$, we introduce the best $G$-gate approximation error $d_G(\hat{\rho})$ and the approximate circuit complexity $C_\eta(\hat{\rho})$. We prove an agnostic quantum Occam theorem: with $M$ copies, one can learn up to the best $G$-gate approximation error plus a statistical penalty $\widetilde{O}(\sqrt{G/M})$. We then remove the need to know $G$ in advance through an adaptive model-selection theorem whose oracle inequality selects the circuit complexity justified by the data. Matching lower bounds yield a sample-supported expressibility law: at trace-distance accuracy $\epsilon$, $M$ samples can support only $G_{\rm supported} \simeq M\epsilon^2$ gates, up to logarithmic factors and tomography saturation at $2^n$. Thus, the circuit complexity becomes an adaptive statistical resource rather than a static promise. Our framework turns bounded circuit complexity into a model-selection principle for quantum machine learning.

I'm aware this might seem like a lot. Three fairly long albums of mine came out between 2025 and 2026, and now here comes another collection. :D
Unlike those, which were intended to be listened through, this isn't really an album. I've still grouped pieces into families and shaped a running order that makes a kind of sense, but there is no expectation it be heard star…

Only a few months left until KDE drops X11 forever, and they STILL haven't fixed fractional scaling in themes OR gesture configurability, both of which are fully working in X11, and the latter of which would be mitigated by simply stripping the hardcoded gestures currently baked into kwin_wayland and allowing the user to find their own way. (As ever, my kwin6 patches are available on GitHub if you'd like to do exactly that.)
I'm sure they're all working on Very Importan…

I mean albums that are so good, I'd have a tough time removing them from my list. 11, and the year isn't even half done. That's how much awesome music is coming out lately.

Would any of y'all be interested in an archival curation tool that can handle merging large collections of files?
I'm in the middle of designing something — git is inspiration but the wrong tool for this job — but that allows reintegrating diverged collections of materials, and propagating enough information that if you were to merge two folders, you'd get a relevant set of questions about the contents to successfully and meaningfully merge them.
It's aware of the fact that embedded metadata changes.
My goal is to make a library simple enough that one could embed it in an operating system's file browser to surface intelligent behavior, and that it could form the basis of media servers too, taking the scanning-and-recording-files duties.

I am so glad that I'm a freelancer. How often have I been at the doctor's office when I just needed a sick note for a cough or cold that would be over in a week? Now the government wants this from day 1 (currently you only need one if you're sick for longer than 3 days). Doctors are already overworked. Everyone says this is a bad idea, even the health insurance companies. This is going to break local healthcare for absolutely nothing.

One of my strong suites in all the packaging work is the knowledge in my head.
"Why don't you write it down for others to benefit from, then?", you'd ask.
The thing is, this knowledge is basically "hot cache". I'm bumping hundreds of #Python packages in #Gentoo, so I remember stuff. And because of that, I can quickly notice some things or answer some questions.
If that were written down, the effort needed to find it would diminish all the gain. I mean, technically *it is* already written down, and the whole point is that I have it "cached".

For years, whenever I'd share links to my Wordpress posts on social media the preview image would be seemingly pulled at random, usually ignoring the first image. Finally fixed it yesterday by installing a plugin called "Open Graph and Twitter Card Tags", then checking the box that says,"First image from the post/page content" in the settings. I'm sure there are better ways to fix but it worked for me. Sharing in case anyone still blogs and has the same problem. #wordpress #blog #blogging wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm0

Content warning: LLM, negative, loss of trust

Some people think that #LLM usage costs rising will start undoing some of the harm caused by the #AI hype. I don't think that's really going to help that much.
I'm not even talking about all the projects that were ensloppified and enshittified already. I'm not talking about all the technical debt. I'm not talking about all the forks that will have to be maintained forever. I'm not talking of all the projects that were abandoned because of burnout, or because they were only hype-oriented. And I'm not talking about all the corporations that will continue submitting slop.
I'm talking about the loss of trust. After all, we're not talking of people who realized they were wrong and are sorry. We're not talking of people realizing that it was wrong to forfeit ethics and morals in the name of "productivity". We're talking of people who are jumping ships because their previous approach turned out not to be profitable anymore. We're talking of gamblers who left the casino because they went broke. They aren't sorry that they gambled; they are sorry that they've lost. And they'd be happy to do it again at the nearest opportunity.
So, I'm sorry to say, but #FreeSoftware is never going to be the same again. A lot of people have shown their true colors, and I won't forget that.
