The effect of 20th century industrialization: Power station, acid rains, over-pumping, on an erstwhile uniform freshwater dune aquifer in Haifa Bay, Israel
Vasily Rogojin, Joel Kronfeld
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.00893 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.00893 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.00893
arXiv:2607.00893v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A small phreatic sand dune aquifer lies along the shore of Haifa Bay. It has been exploited for its freshwater resources since the 1930s. During this time the salinity has increased continuously, partly by seawater intrusion due to overpumping. The chemistry of the young aquifer water is laterally variable and is characterized by excess SO$_4^{2-}$, high $Sr^{2 }$ concentrations above that of modern seawater, high alkalinity, and markedly enriched $\delta^{13}C_{DIC}$ values. Acidic winter rains, formed from $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ gaseous emissions from a nearby power station, leach the dry deposition that accumulated across the dune surface during the dry summers. The acidity also partially dissolves the aragonite sea shells in the dune sands, remnants of a previous marine transgression. As a consequence, this adds $Sr^{2 }$, $Ca^{2 }$ excess, and alkalinity, while leading to enriched $\delta^{13}C_{DIC}$ values, particularly during the winter, at which time the radiocarbon activity in the DIC is observed to decrease.

Bounded Priority-Aware Locking for Real-Time Kernels
Shriram Raja, Richard West
https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.27620 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.27620 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.27620
arXiv:2605.27620v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A real-time multicore system requires delay bounds on access to shared resources. These resources include the kernel, which has potentially many non-preemptible critical sections guarded by one or more different synchronization primitives. While primitives such as FIFO locks bound the waiting time to enter a critical section, they do not distinguish the importance of individual tasks competing for shared resource access. To address this, we consider a priority-aware spinlock, which reduces the average delay of more important tasks while maintaining a worst-case bound on lock waiting time. We propose a Batched Priority Lock (BPL) that first groups waiting tasks based on the order of their lock requests, and then determines the next lock holder according to priority within the waiting group. We compare BPL to alternative lock approaches, showing that the average waiting time is reduced for higher priority tasks, in simulations up to 64 cores, and for a working implementation on an 8-core machine with a real RTOS. BPL is a compromise between strict priority and FIFO ordering. While strict priorities may lead to starvation and, hence, unbounded lock acquisition delays, BPL has the same waiting bound as FIFO, but with benefits to higher priority tasks. Although its complexity is greater than that of a simple spinlock, its common case execution overhead is shown to be inexpensive in a working system. We believe this is an acceptable cost in systems that require predictability.

So one of the authors is Nicholas Carlini, who works for Anthropic. This is basically an ad for the three letter agencies to use Claude. It massively over-promises compared to what the actual paper says.
But, it is important. First, this is really about silencing people. The threat of identification is designed to make people afraid to talk online. There's a massive asymmetry between the fascists and the people. The fascists are weird racists and pedophiles who are obsessed with control. No one likes them. No one likes their ideas, because their ideas are creepy and bad.
When they talk about their ideas, that people should be murdered or kidnaped based on their skin color, that there should be a national dress code, that people's sex lives should be monitored, that children should be treated like objects that are owned by the parent (specifically, one parent), that people with different skin color or uteri should be considered as livestock, people fucking hate it because it's awful. When we talk about our ideas, that everyone should be able to eat and take care of themselves, that people who can't take care of themselves should be taken care of, that we should live in a society that values life, that we should live in harmony with nature, people like those ideas. When fascists out us for talking about those ideas, people support us. When we out people who are working as fascist goons those people have to face social consequences.
Everyone hates these people. The US government is currently less popular than it has ever been. The only way they can keep power is by making everyone think that they aren't extraordinarily unpopular. The only way to do that, the way authoritarian have always done it, is to make everyone afraid to talk.
But, yes, what this paper is saying is actually kind of bad. It looks like people who don't take any precautions at all in separating identities can be identified about 30% of the time (based on the results). It's unclear how this will actually work in the real world. Larger corpses will probably have more data, making connecting things easier.
This isn't as good as a human trying to dox someone. It's not going to work as well. It may only work in a small number of cases. There will be false positives (just like there are with people doing the work). It's probably not cheaper than hiring people. But it does mean that you can just dump money into a machine that has no ethical framework and get data out. That's the point. It's hard to find humans who will do evil shit like help dictatorships target human rights activists, but if a machine can do it for twice the price then it's a better deal for the dictatorship.
For most people, you just shouldn't care. This isn't for you. As long as you keep doing what you're doing, and you can keep everyone else doing what they're doing, then there aren't enough resources to actually target you. Even if they know who you are, there are just too many people who hate them and too few goons.
For people who might actually be targeted, there are a lot of things. First, keep in mind what you're putting into anonymous accounts. Any feature that's connected to your real life is a feature that can be extracted to identify you. This has always been true, it just may be easier to find now. Your identities should be totally siloed. It's also harder to identify you if you're writing anonymously as a collective. Collectives are better anyway because they can help check your thinking. When you write as a collective, you can help clean up each other's personal details and language. A collective develops its own voice, which is distinct from individual contributors. If you do this, and you also present your work as being from one "person," then it becomes even harder for anyone (systems or individuals) to really figure it out.
I'm not going to do a full deep dive on this because I just don't have time, but your existing threat model should *already cover these threats* if you need to make sure your writing remains anonymous.
This paper doesn't present any novel methodologies. It just extracts a bunch of features, which a human would extract as notes, and tries to correlate those between identities, which is how human researchers work. Linguistic forensics were mentioned (not by name) in the paper, but the actual methodology doesn't actually seem to use them.
So a thing with less ethics can do a worse job for more money (when adjusted for the real, not investor deflated, price of tokens). It's worth knowing. It's not the end of the world, but it is a good reminder to check your threat model and make sure it's up to date.

It’s Arizona Senator Mark Kelly.
AZ-06 is a dogfight we can’t afford to lose. That’s why I’m stepping up

Jo Mendoza and her team launch Mendoza Victory fund

I’m not exaggerating when I say this is a tight race.
Polling shows this race as a dead-heat again, but I know Jo is ready to step up and win in a race this close.
She’s a retired U.S. Marine Corps Drill Instructor who served 3 combat tours in…

Infrastructure that civilians rely on for survival is not generally considered a legitimate military target,
and striking it could be considered a war crime.
But the attacks on water resources are especially concerning in the Gulf region:
Most nations there lack widespread access to fresh water and rely heavily on hundreds of desalination plants -- complex operations where repairs can be difficult and time-consuming.
Desalination plants produce 90 percent of Kuwait’s…

For more than a year, the Pentagon has deployed about 9,000 active-duty troops along nearly 2,000 miles of the southwest border to confront illegal migrants, smugglers and drug cartels.

— even though the Trump administration months ago largely achieved its goal of slashing illegal crossings.
The military patrols, working closely with Customs and Border Protection as well as the Mexican mili…

Since Trump’s decision to snatch Maduro in January and reboot relations with his successors,
the five-star hotel has become the nerve centre of Washington’s efforts to steer a country some now call a US protectorate
– and which Trump has even said he hopes to turn into the 51st state.
“It’s [effectively] the US embassy.
I don’t think anybody’s going to work at the actual embassy,”
said Phil Gunson, a Caracas-based political analyst for Crisis Group.
