Mean-Field-Type Game Theory with Rosenblatt Noise
We study the integration of Rosenblatt noise into stochastic systems, control theory, and mean-field-type game theory, addressing the limitations of traditional Gaussian and Markovian models. Empirical evidence from various domains, including water demand, e-commerce, power grid operations, wireless channels, and agricultural supply chains, demonstrates the prevalence of non-Gaussian characteristics such as skews, heavy tails and strong long-range dependencies. The Rosenblatt process, a non-Gau…

I don’t agree in one respect:
Neither OOP nor FP (nor 4GLs nor IDEs nor SOAs nor any of the other new hotnesses past) had anything remotely resembling the current money behind them. None led to companies speculatively laying off tens of thousands of employees for imagined productivity boosts that had not actually arrived yet. None shaped whole election cycles, or led to national proposals for preemptive deregulation. None led to the construction of nuclear power plants or the draining of rivers. None sent oligarchs or fascists into spasmodic wet dreams of world domination. None started quasi-religious cults like EA.
All •that• is the part that feels like blockchain — but even worse, if such a thing is possible.

Observations of Carbon Radio Recombination Lines with the NenuFAR telescope. I. Cassiopeia A and Cygnus A
Carbon Radio Recombination Lines (CRRLs) at decametre wavelengths trace the diffuse phase of the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Galaxy. Their observation allows to measure physical parameters of this phase. We observed CRRLs with the recently commissioned New Extension in Nançay Upgrading LOFAR (NenuFAR) telescope towards two of the brightest sources at low-frequency (10-85 MHz): Cassiopeia A and Cygnus A (hereafter Cas A and Cyg A respectively), to measure the density n_e and temperature T_…

A Note on Reconfiguration Graphs of Cliques

A Note on Reconfiguration Graphs of Cliques
In a reconfiguration setting, each clique of a graph $G$ is viewed as a set of tokens placed on vertices of $G$ such that no vertex has more than one token and any two tokens are adjacent. Additionally, three well-known reconfiguration rules have been studied in the literature: Token Jumping ($\mathsf{TJ}$, which involves moving a token to any unoccupied vertex), Token Sliding ($\mathsf{TS}$, which involves moving a token to an adjacent unoccupied vertex), and Token Addition/Removal ($\mathsf{T…

If you happen to resemble a fascist, talk like a fascist, parade around like a fascist, and suppress like a fascist, congratulations! You’ve just unlocked the exclusive, ultra-elite "Insta-Blocked" club membership—no application needed, no trial, just instant social media exile.
Because why waste time on subtlety when you can just hit the block button and pretend the problem vanished? Welcome to the future of discourse: if you fascist, you get ghosted faster than a bad Tinde…

After a too long extended reconfiguration to use Centos 9 rather than the nonsense that AWS Linux has become, moving to Python 3.12 from 3.7 and removing all the fingers of the original code using Twitter. There were still meaningless failures.
So this morning I blamed SELinux, which ten or more years ago I'd have assumed from the start.
I was right.
There were no denials in messages but as soon as I changed it to Permissive it all sparked into life.

The only jury I've ever been on faced a question about resisting arrest. The defendant was tackled by an officer and initially fought back (or so the officer claimed). The officer was wearing a police uniform, but we acquitted on the charge, because the defendant was tackled from behind and there was reasonable doubt as to whether the officer actually identified themselves verbally in a way that made it clear to the defendant they weren't being tackled by some random dude.
This ain't legal advice, but in situations where a kidnapper refuses to identify themselves, show a warrant, or even a badge number, I suspect a sufficiently white bystander might not be convicted on interference charges if they did something like a citizen's arrest of a suspicious out-of-town paramilitary type who was in the process of an extrajudicial kidnapping. If there are multiple kidnappers, to be effective you might need multiple people willing to face jail time for such interventions to be successful...
#resist #ICE #kidnapping
Just thinking about this in light of the recent kidnapping in the next town over where some fools called the city police thinking they might actually protect the community from an unlawful assault. Can't blame the fools too much because of how deep positive portrayals of cops are embedded in our media diet though...

Es ist wieder die Zeit im Jahr, in der man hinter jeder Ecke mit einer rotzfrechen Bande Rosen rechnen muss, die einem in aller Obszönität ins Gesicht springt.
