The most common strategy for "AI-proofing" your career is to get good at using AI tools.
This is futile, because no one is using AI tools to make things that are *good.* The goal is to check the box on the project plan at a predictable pace. As long as the box is checked, quality is not a factor.
To AI-proof your job, get out of the project game.

You can't "AI-proof your career" with a project mindset
Competing with LLMs on output velocity is a fool's errand because you will always lose. You can only beat them by curing yourself of your computer brain.

Normality of monomial ideals in three variables
Maki Ataka, Naoyuki Matsuoka
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.01782 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.01782 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.01782
arXiv:2602.01782v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: An ideal $I$ in a Noetherian ring is called \textit{normal} if $I^n$ is integrally closed for all $n \geq 1$. Zariski proved that in two-dimensional regular local rings, every integrally closed ideal is normal. However, in dimension three and higher, this is no longer true in general, including monomial ideals in polynomial rings.
In this paper, we study the normality of integrally closed monomial ideals in the polynomial ring $k[x,y,z]$ over a field $k$. We prove that every such ideal with at most seven minimal monomial generators is normal, thereby giving a sharp bound for normality in this setting. The proof is based on a detailed case-by-case analysis, combined with valuation-theoretic and combinatorial methods via Newton polyhedra.

Abstract: The precise manipulation and analysis of neutron spin states are foundational for a wide range of physics experiments, from fundamental symmetry tests to materials science. To enable systematic characterization of neutron polarimetry devices, we have constructed and extended a monochromatic neutron beamline at the Spallation Neutron Source, Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The beamline delivers monochromatic neutrons and provides a flexible platform for deploying and evaluating advanced neutron spin manipulation instruments. We describe the design and commissioning of the extended beamline and present a proof-of-concept neutron polarimetry study using three devices: a supermirror neutron polarizer, a Mezei spin flipper, and an in situ neutron 3He spin analyzer system. Performance metrics, optimization strategies, and systematic effects are discussed, demonstrating the beamline utility for neutron instrumentation testing. These results establish the extended monochromatic beamline as a useful resource for the development and validation of neutron polarimetry technologies.

Abstract: We show the simplicity of the automorphism groups of the generic $n$-hypertournament and the semigeneric tournament, and determine the normal subgroups of the automorphism groups of several other ultrahomogeneous oriented graphs. We also give a new proof of the simplicity of the automorphism group of the dense $\frac{2\pi}{n}$-local order $\mathbb{S}(n)$ for $n \geq 2$ (a result due to Droste, Giraudet and Macpherson). Previous techniques of Li, Macpherson, Tent and Ziegler involving stationary weak independence relations (SWIRs) cannot be applied directly to these structures; our approach involves applying these techniques to a certain expansion of each structure, where the expansion has a SWIR and its automorphism group is isomorphic to a stabiliser subgroup of the automorphism group of the original structure.

The product delivery lifecycle is composed of service relationships. AI's main value proposition is freedom from relationships.
When designers champion AI tools, we are not making ourselves layoff-proof. We are reinforcing a system that frames us as unnecessary friction.
If we don't want to serve as janitors for vibe prototypes, We must invest in deliberately designing the service relationships that make up the PDLC.

UX works through social relationships. AI tools are erasing them.
Stakeholders want to vibe code and have designers clean up after them afterwards. But rather than helping with velocity, there is just more noise and more work for everyone.

Bounded modular functionals and operators on Hilbert C*-modules are regular

Abstract: We prove that for any C*-algebra $A$ and Hilbert $A$-modules $M\subseteq N$ with $M^\perp=\{0\}$, every bounded $A$-linear map $N\to A$ (or $N\to N)$ vanishing on $M$ is the zero map. This verifies the conjectures of the first author and settles the regularity problem for bounded modular functionals and operators on Hilbert C*-modules. As a consequence, kernels of bounded C*-linear operators on Hilbert C*-modules are shown to be biorthogonally complemented, which gives a correct proof of Lemma 2.4 in ``On Hahn-Banach type theorems for Hilbert C*-modules'', Internat. J. Math. 13(2002), 1--19, in full generality.

B(H) is not a twisted groupoid C*-algebra

arXiv:2603.21946v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We show that $B(H)$ for an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$ cannot be realized as the reduced twisted $C^*$-algebra of any locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid.
The proof is based on the canonical conditional expectation $$C_r^*(G,\Sigma)\to C_0(G^{(0)})$$ and a structural analysis of the resulting diagonal subalgebra inside $B(H)$. We show that this diagonal must be an atomic abelian von Neumann algebra, and then exclude both possibilities for its spectrum.
If the unit space is finite, one obtains a tracial state on $C_r^*(G,\Sigma)$, which is impossible for $B(H)$. If it is infinite, the groupoid structure forces a block-sparsity phenomenon for compactly supported sections, which is incompatible with $B(H)$.
This provides the first examples of $C^*$-algebras that cannot be realized as reduced twisted \'etale groupoid $C^*$-algebras.

The grim irony is that carrying your papers isn't enough.
Multiple reports have confirmed the ICE practice of rounding up people in groups and ignoring their offers to show their papers on the spot,
then holding them for hours or days or even transporting them to distant places.

“Noem: U.S. Citizens Should Be Prepared To Show Proof.” Did you vote for a “Show Me Your Papers” society?

As Donald Trump ramped up his threats against the people he is supposed to be working for,
his administration’s extreme immigration enforcement led Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to admit that anyone
— U.S. citizen or otherwise
— should be prepared to have to prove their citizenship to DHS agents.
Asked Thursday about U.S. citizens being asked to provide proof of citizenship in Minnesota
and whether that is “targeted enforcement,”
Noem said the f…

Noem says that virtually anyone could face a Kavanaugh stop
Trump started off the day with an Insurrection Act threat. Noem followed up by saying that anyone "surrounding" any DHS target has to prove their legal status.

Not that it will be forgotten:
The #AfD in Rhineland-Palatinate is also a big fan of #Trump
-- who is blackmailing Germany with special tariffs.
And these people claim for themselves to represent Germany's interests
- further proof of how dangerous this party is for our society.

Attached: 2 images Nicht, dass es vergessen wird: Auch die #AfD in Rheinland-Pfalz ist großer #Trump-Fan, der unser Land mit Sonderzöllen erpresst. Und diese Leute beanspruchen für sich, Interessen Deutschlands zu vertreten - ein weiterer Beweis, wie gefährlich diese Partei für unsere Gesellschaft ist. #NoAfD #RLP

Here’s what you need to know about the documentary proof of citizenship requirements of the SAVE America Act:

The list of qualifying documents in the SAVE Act for proving citizenship appears long -- but many of them come with qualifiers.
Under the bill, a REAL ID -compliant driver’s license would have to indicate that “the applicant is a citizen,”
--- but not all do.
Only five states
— Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington
— offer the type of enhanced REAL IDs that explicitly indicate U.S. citizenship.
Standard driver’s licenses, generally available…

Documents required by GOP's voting bill can be difficult and costly to get
Congressional Republicans are pushing voting legislation that's backed by President Donald Trump and would require voters to produce documentary proof of citizenship in order to register for federal elections. Obtaining those records and paying for them may not be as easy as the bill’s promoters make it sound. There's a range of hurdles, including the time and money involved in getting birth certificates or passports. A University of Maryland study estimates that 21.3 million Americans who ar…

Trump issues blunt
message to Senate majority leader
to pass voter ID legislation
As John Thune battles conservative blowback for refusing to alter Senate rules
and mandate a traditional “talking” filibuster that would force Democrats to hold the floor to block the Save America Act,
Donald Trump had a blunt message for the Senate majority leader.
“He’s got to be a leader,” the president told reporters outside the White House today.
The upper chambe…

Donald Trump said that the US-Israel war in Iran will end “soon” because there is “practically nothing left to target” in a phone interview with Axios.
“Any time I want it to end, it will end,” the president told the outlet.
“The war is going great. We are way ahead of the timetable.
We have done more damage than we thought possible, even in the original six-week period.”
It’s the latest update in a series of inconsistent messages from the administration on the estima…

House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries has said that DHS leadership change is not enough to reopen the government
and starting to fund the Department of Homeland Security again.
It comes as Republican Senator Thom Tillis said he believes White House adviser Stephen Miller “should go”
and that his role in the Trump administration has been a “big problem”.
The senior senator representing North Carolina, when asked on CNN’s State of the Union if he thinks Miller should go…
