So... When a judge gets accused of a crime by the executive branch for their rulings, that's really, really bad. That's textbook fascist power creep that needs to be vigorously opposed.
But at the same time, isn't it telling that said judge needs to raise money from donations to afford an appropriate defense? How much more clear could it be that "justice" is reserved for the rich in America?

Quantifying data needs in surrogate modeling for flow fields in 2D stirred tanks with physics-informed neural networks (PINNs)

Quantifying data needs in surrogate modeling for flow fields in 2D stirred tanks with physics-informed neural networks (PINNs)
Stirred tanks are vital in chemical and biotechnological processes, particularly as bioreactors. Although computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is widely used to model the flow in stirred tanks, its high computational cost$-$especially in multi-query scenarios for process design and optimization$-$drives the need for efficient data-driven surrogate models. However, acquiring sufficiently large datasets can be costly. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) offer a promising solution to reduce dat…

Overconfident conspiracy theorists: Many unaware their beliefs are on the fringe
Overconfidence is a hallmark trait of people who believe in conspiracies, and they also significantly overestimate how much others agree with them, Cornell psychology researchers have found. The study indicates that belief in conspiracies may be less about a person's needs and motivations and more about their failure to recognize that they might be wrong.

Y'all were wondering which way the army would break. This is as clear an answer as you're going to get.
This isn't a mistake. It's a message.
Edit: cut out "During drills they were perfectly in time" because I don't have receipts to show. Linking to a longer video in a threads post that shows a bit more intense of a juxtaposition between themselves and the division in front of them. This thread makes the same claim about drills, but I also don't see video.
https://www.threads.com/@davidmorehouse/post/DK7ExrKs5iw?xmt=AQF0w52awa66lUQeIuolzDaz8uSFcMmJLHALm9RZc4P75w
Edit: to clarify a bit, this is one division. The division in front of them in the longer video is in step. This isn't "the whole army is going to refuse" but this may be, "some units are fed up enough to make it clear they don't want to play, which is saying a lot."
Any division that exists needs to be cultivated. The way you cultivate that is absolutely not by lumping them all together. Some of the military voted for Trump, some don't care, some hate him. All of them are being treated like shit right now. All of them swore an oath to defend the constitution. Some of them probably know what that means.
I'm absolutely not a fan of the military, but I will take every opportunity I can to humanize these folks. Look for every opportunity you can to remind them that they are welcome on our side whenever they're ready to actually fulfill their oath, and we will appreciate every subtle bit of resistance they give to those who are violating it in the meantime.

Finite sample-optimal adjustment sets in linear Gaussian causal models
Traditional covariate selection methods for causal inference focus on achieving unbiasedness and asymptotic efficiency. In many practical scenarios, researchers must estimate causal effects from observational data with limited sample sizes or in cases where covariates are difficult or costly to measure. Their needs might be better met by selecting adjustment sets that are finite sample-optimal in terms of mean squared error. In this paper, we aim to find the adjustment set that minimizes the me…

Use of Redshifts as Evidence of Dark Energy
The large-scale dynamics of the universe is generally described in terms of the time-dependent scale factor $a(t)$. To make contact with observational data, the $a(t)$ function needs to be related to the observable $z(r)$ function, redshift versus distance. Model fitting of data has shown that the equation that governs $z(r)$ needs to contain a constant term, which has been identified as Einstein's cosmological constant. Here, it is shown that the required constant term is not a cosmological co…

Slogan ideas welcome too. A few I've been thinking of:
- "Impeach Trump/Abolish ICE/Abolish DHS" - simple, helps build momentum towards at least one specific demand which IMO the movement could use pretty soon.
- "If you separate my family I'll separate yours/As you ride to snatch children are yours safe at home?" - maybe too many words, but inspires fear/defection in ICE other troops, which IMO the movement needs more of. Hopefully too vague to be a criminal threat or incitement (especially version with the conditional?).
