Det som förra vintern kunde anas som ett trendbrott verkar nu bli mer tydligt. Fetman har minskat i USA och fetmamedicinerna är av allt att döma orsaken.

Democrats see themselves as the opposite of Republicans, but the fact that this is wrong becomes obvious during a government shutdown. Both parties agree that violence and cruelty are essential functions of the government. Neither believe that services outside of terror are essential.
The truth is that Democrats recognize that services are useful for keeping the poors from revolting, while Republicans believe that they can simply murder away any resistance. Republicans have been trying to end food stamps for longer than I've been alive. They've always believed that anyone who needs support should either die or become a debt slave. (When snap doesn't come back, just wait for companies to start offering pay day advances backed by police collection.)
The longer benefits are stopped, the more they can "cull the unproductive." Cruelty has always been the point, and Democrats are not ideologically prepared to oppose them.
No, the actual opposite of Trumpism is anarchism. We want to specifically shut down the infrastructure of violence. That's what we mean when we're talking about opposing the state. The other stuff, the stuff Democrats see as optional, we see as so essential we can't trust it to the whims of politicians.
We want all services to be directly democratically controlled, preferably at the most local level possible. We want it to be impossible to shut down the things we share, water services, sewer, internet, mass transit, childcare, public media.
When we talk about "community self defense" we don't mean cops protecting businesses from the consequences of their actions, from those who oppose their use of slave labor or their environmental destruction. We don't mean border patrol kidnapping people so their bosses don't need to pay them, or just straight up carrying out ethnic cleansing. We don't mean organized terror against people escaping environmental or political crises created by, or with the help of, the government attacking them. No, "community defense" means doing what people are doing every day to protect their neighbors against this shit... Shit that Democratic politicians agree is "essential."
Republicans want to destroy every good thing the government does and rule by terror alone. Anarchists want to destroy all institutions of oppression and terror so we can build all the good things together. Democrats are a compromise between the two.

Description of the strong approximation locus using Brauer-Manin obstruction for homogeneous spaces with commutative stabilizers
For a homogeneous space $X$ over a number field $k$, the Brauer-Manin obstruction has been used to study strong approximation for $X$ away from a finite set $S$ of places, and known results state that $X(k)$ is dense in the omitting-$S$ projection of the Brauer-Manin set $\mathrm{pr}_S(X(\mathbb{A}_k)^{\mathrm{br}})$, under certain assumptions. In order to completely understand the closure of $X(k)$ in the set of $S$-adelic points $X(\mathbb{A}_k^S)$, we ask: (i) whether $\mathrm{pr}_S(X(\mathb…

Distributed Safety-Critical MPC for Multi-Agent Formation Control and Obstacle Avoidance
For nonlinear multi-agent systems with high relative degrees, achieving formation control and obstacle avoidance in a distributed manner remains a significant challenge. To address this issue, we propose a novel distributed safety-critical model predictive control (DSMPC) algorithm that incorporates discrete-time high-order control barrier functions (DHCBFs) to enforce safety constraints, alongside discrete-time control Lyapunov functions (DCLFs) to establish terminal constraints. To facilitate…

A deep first-order system least squares method for the obstacle problem
We propose a deep learning approach to the obstacle problem inspired by the first-order system least-squares (FOSLS) framework. This method reformulates the problem as a convex minimization task; by simultaneously approximating the solution, gradient, and Lagrange multiplier, our approach provides a flexible, mesh-free alternative that scales efficiently to high-dimensional settings. Key theoretical contributions include the coercivity and local Lipschitz continuity of the proposed least-square…
