arXiv:2604.24614v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Functional connectivity varies across individuals due to genetic and environmental factors, yet classical twin models typically confound non-shared environment with measurement error and are largely limited to resting-state analyses. We hypothesized that: i) explicitly modeling measurement error from repeated fMRI sessions enables more accurate application of classical twin models (ACE/ADE) to functional connectivity; ii) model applicability depends on scan-length and parcellation granularity; iii) genetic and environmental effects on functional connectomes show differentiated functional modules across conditions. We extended ACE/ADE models to include a repeated-scan derived error term by analyzing monozygotic and dizygotic twins from the Young-Adult Human Connectome Project dataset. Genetic and environment variance components were estimated for all functional couplings across resting-state and task conditions, integrated across conditions using a minimum-error criterion, and analyzed using multilayer community detection across resolution scales. Functional couplings segregated into distinct categories characterized by shared environmental, additive, dominant, or epistatic influences, with a substantial fraction not meeting twin-model assumptions. Integrating across conditions revealed hierarchical community structure in genetic and environmental components observed across community resolution scales. Incorporating measurement error into twin models improves interpretability and applicability at the functional connectome level, revealing that genetic and environmental influences are structured into coherent, multiscale brain networks.

How to get a package removed from #Gentoo?
1. Add a new #NIH dependency.
2. The dependency turns out to use coherent.build. Nightmare! Oh, wait, apparently coherent.build generates source distributions that use flit.core (understandable; coherent.build is unusable).
3. The dependency depends on chardet (the project famous for GPL copywashing). Okay, technically it works with the older version, and the dependency is optional with poor person's fallback, so I guess it would be fine.
4. But hey, this package is not used by anything, and the last package using it in Gentoo was removed in 2020, after not being touched for 4 years already. Also, that package is not maintained upstream since 2017, so I guess there's negligible risk of it ever coming back.

I've seen a bunch of "the CA age verification law is the best way to do a bad thing and so we shouldn't oppose compliance" takes, which others are rightly pointing out is a bad stance because it's blindingly obvious that compliance now sets the stage for compliance later and the clearly set up later is mandatory verification of age data. Even if you think that, for example, California's current "progressive" government won't go there, we're all currently seeing just how easy it is for a new government to pick up the oppressive tools the "good" government was using "restraint" with and put them to worse ends.
On the other hand, I'll freely admit that distros *do* need a way to shield themselves from liability right now. The clear (to me; IANAL) correct solution is to say on your website "don't download this OS if you're in a jurisdiction where it's not legal for us to provide it."). Assuming this does put you in the clear liability-wise, it has several positive effects:
- Stops zero people from downloading it.
- Makes it clear that your project will not collaborate with fascists/oppressive regime enjoyers.
- Means that when the next law makes verifying user ages mandatory (and/or explicitly requires using Palantir-adjacent services to do so) you've already got a strategy in place and there's no need for a "debate" in your "community" about compliance.
- Gets users more practice with "the law is malicious/needlessly bureaucratic/oppressive; let's ignore it" which to be honest people in general clearly desperately need at this point.
- Is the most effective political move if you want to resist the way things are going. Forcing the other side to explain why "California bans Linux" is good rhetorical strategy. Make *them* try to explain "well it's actually not so harmful since we let users set it themselves" and answer your follow-up "but what if next year the requirements change; I just refuse to go along with this slippery slope stuff and I'm not bothered if that means you want to *ban* me."

Precipitation diffusion downscaling and application to out-of-distribution simulations with and without stratospheric aerosol injection
Cameron Dong, James W. Hurrell, Elizabeth A. Barnes
https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.23776 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.23776 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.23776
arXiv:2605.23776v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), a possible climate engineering strategy where reflective particles are injected into the stratosphere, has been explored to mitigate global warming and its associated risks, such as the intensification of extreme precipitation events. However, current Earth system models (ESMs) often used to simulate SAI and other climate change scenarios are too coarse to properly assess such risks. Traditional statistical downscaling methods, used to project higher resolution impacts, may be biased and unrealistic. To address this, we train a deep learning diffusion downscaler to generate 0.25{\deg} contiguous United States (CONUS) daily precipitation using historical and future climate simulations from the Mesoscale Atmosphere-Ocean Interaction in Seasonal-to-Decadal Climate Prediction (MESACLIP) project, then apply the diffusion downscaler to out-of-distribution CESM2 simulations with and without SAI. The diffusion model generates realistic downscaled precipitation using either MESACLIP or CESM2 inputs. It also faithfully recreates the climate change projections of extreme precipitation in MESACLIP. Diffusion-downscaled projections of the future CESM2 SAI scenarios suggest that SAI could nearly cut in half the CONUS-average increase in yearly max precipitation, compared to the non-SAI scenario. However, there is considerable regional variation and internal variability, with SAI modeled to only slightly reduce increases in extreme precipitation frequency in the Mid Atlantic and the Pacific Northwest, but mitigating most intensification in other regions. Future application of diffusion downscaling to a wider variety of SAI scenarios would provide valuable insight into how proposed SAI strategies may affect precipitation variability on fine spatial scales for regional impact assessments.
