After 11 months of being here, I decided to do a very small reflection.
When I first arrived, I didn't have any expectations or goals I'd like to achieve. Matter of fact, the main reason I left Twitter is because of all the bots that followed me and how I almost never got any real interaction.
Over time, things got a little rocky here and it seemed as though, personally, I wasn't going to be enjoying it any further at that time and contemplating shutting the instance down completely and just "disappearing".
However, several months on from that, I'm VERY glad I didn't. I like it here and I like having my "own little space" where nobody can tell me what I can and cannot discuss nor what I can and cannot see.
Something I've just recently realized though, is how important a good bit of you have become to me, personally and my Fedi experience would be very lacking without some of you here. What I didn't expect, was getting that same sentiment back when I discussed it with those few of you. I really appreciate knowing that for some of you, I have been consistently a "good" addition to your timelines and everyday online life.
Those types of comments and feelings they give me, keep me here and sane on those wilder days. To each and every one of you that have followed me for so long, through all the craziness, slight drama, wild opinions, and more, THANK YOU.
If I hadn't been almost universally accepted with such open arms and returned the same energy I try to put out, then I doubt I would still be here to this day.
I'm 11 months in and I think I'm ready to "give back" to those few folks that I consider friends and am on the cusps of creating something new and hopefully something good for Fedi as a whole.
I'm going to keep it very limited for specific reasons I'll lay out later. But, this is new ground for me and I have to figure some things out and hopefully not make too many missteps and learn some things along the way.
Thank you Fedi. I wouldn't be who I am right now, without you.

Best bijzonder dat NSC dit moest herhalen maar dit is ook waarom ze er niet uit kunnen komen, als ze zich aan wetten/verdragen/rechterlijke uitspraken houden, dan zijn de mogelijkheden beperkt.
"NSC-leider Omtzigt zei zojuist voor de camera's dat de vier partijen in een eerder stadium van de formatie hebben afgesproken om zich te houden aan verdragen, rechterlijke uitspraken en wetten. "We hebben een heldere afspraak gemaakt.""

Wilders: ziet er nu niet florissant uit op asiel • Partijleiders hebben de hele dag onderhandeld
De informateurs, Van Zwol en Dijkgraaf, voerden deze week opnieuw inhoudelijke gesprekken met PVV, VVD, NSC en BBB.

I like when news sites are like, "you've hit your limit of free articles. sign up for more!" when in reality I tried to read one article, got busy halfway through, left the browser tab open to read later (and the tab is unloaded to save memory), and I accidentally load the tab a few times while looking for something else. Then when I finally have time to read the article, "you've hit your limit".

Last chance. If you want to have your signature on the real life letter that goes to Canada's House of Commons Speaker and others, you must tell me before 9AM PDT (about 40 minutes).
You do not have to be Canadian to sign.
Signatures received after 9AM will be on the web version.
I've made some updates to the letter including more supporting links and sources.

Logics of False Belief and Radical Ignorance
In the literature, the question about how to axiomatize the transitive logic of false belief is thought of as hard and left as an open problem. In this paper, among other contributions, we deal with this problem. In more details, although the standard doxastic operator is undefinable with the operator of false belief, the former is {\em almost definable} with the latter. On one hand, the involved almost definability schema guides us to find the desired core axioms for the transitive logic and t…

Marking the Web’s 35th Birthday: An Open Letter - World Wide Web Foundation
Original Hope Three and a half decades ago, when I invented the web, its trajectory was impossible to imagine. There was no roadmap to predict the course of its evolution, it was a captivating odyssey filled with unforeseen opportunities and challenges. Underlying its whole infrastructure was the intention to allow for collaboration, foster compassion and

Weak well-posedness by transport noise for a class of 2D fluid dynamics equations
A fundamental open problem in fluid dynamics is whether solutions to $2$D Euler equations with $(L^1_x\cap L^p_x)$-valued vorticity are unique, for some $p\in [1,\infty)$. A related question, more probabilistic in flavour, is whether one can find a physically relevant noise regularizing the PDE. We present some substantial advances towards a resolution of the latter, by establishing well-posedness in law for solutions with $(L^1_x\cap L^2_x)$-valued vorticity and finite kinetic energy, for a ge…
