Abuse and Buddhism: Behind the Smiling Façade
Buddhism in the West is in a crisis. For years, it had benefited from a reputation too good to be true. Only now are victims of sexual abuse, corruption and cultic behaviour finally beginning to speak out.

Lesley Stahl from ‘60 Minutes’ got this tidbit from Trump shortly after he won the 2016 election.

Differential Robustness in Transformer Language Models: Empirical Evaluation Under Adversarial Text Attacks
This study evaluates the resilience of large language models (LLMs) against adversarial attacks, specifically focusing on Flan-T5, BERT, and RoBERTa-Base. Using systematically designed adversarial tests through TextFooler and BERTAttack, we found significant variations in model robustness. RoBERTa-Base and FlanT5 demonstrated remarkable resilience, maintaining accuracy even when subjected to sophisticated attacks, with attack success rates of 0%. In contrast. BERT-Base showed considerable vulne…

Where ‘grift’ meets ‘graft’ - Columbia Journalism Review #words

Where ‘grift’ meets ‘graft’
Shortly after the arrest of Steve Bannon, President Trump’s former White House strategist, on fraud charges, the New York Times ran an editorial with the headline “Steve Bannon’s Art of the Grift.”  The word “grift” did not appear in the editorial. The Washington Post did use it: “The grift alleged is disgusting, if not surprising,” […]

On Aug. 1, shortly after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a surprisingly weak employment report,
the conservative economist E.J. Antoni joined Steve Bannon’s influential “War Room” podcast.
“Have we put in our own person into B.L.S.?” Mr. Bannon asked Dr. Antoni.
“Is a MAGA Republican, that President Trump knows and trusts, are they running the Bureau of Labor Statistics yet?”
“No, unfortunately, Steve, we still haven’t gotten there,” Dr. Antoni replied,

Constraining exoplanet interiors using observations of their atmospheres
Astronomical surveys have identified numerous exoplanets with bulk compositions that are unlike the planets of the Solar System, including rocky super-Earths and gas-enveloped sub-Neptunes. Observing the atmospheres of these objects provides information on the geological processes that influence their climates and surfaces. In this Review, we summarize the current understanding of these planets, including insights into the interaction between the atmosphere and interior based on observations ma…

PSA for users that regularly test #Fedora Beta as well as proposed updates once the new version was released:
Do not enable updates-testing[1] by modifying /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo; instead do it like this:
$ sudo dnf config-manager setopt updates-testing.enabled=true
Otherwise updates-testing will be disabled shortly before the release of a new version (t…

On The Orbital Evolution of Multiple Wide Super-Jupiters: How Disk Migration and Dispersal Shape the Stability of The PDS 70 System
Direct imaging has revealed exoplanet systems hosting multiple wide-orbit Super-Jupiters, where planet-planet interactions can shape their long-term dynamical evolution. These strong perturbations may lead to orbital instability, raising questions about the long-term survival of such systems. Shortly after formation, planet-disk interactions can shepherd planets into mean-motion resonances, which may promote long-term stability as seen in HR 8799. However, early-stage processes such as disk pho…
