The rules of Simon Says are maximally authoritarian. You must perform any action ordered, with the only restriction that the authority must say "Simon says" first.

Let's flip this and imagine a room. During a specific period of time you will have absolute control over everything in this room. In this room you have total freedom. This is not even the limited freedom, the coordinated freedom, the compromising freedom of civil society. You could, without consequence, perform any action you wish in this room. You could say anything, destroy or steal any object, order any individual to perform any action, kill any person in the room with you and take anything they own. This is the sovereign freedom, the absolute freedom, of dictators and kings. The only restriction is that you are not allowed to leave the room while you have this freedom. In fact, you really only have this level of freedom because the room is actually empty other than for you. I am, of course, talking about a form of torture still common in the US: solitary confinement.

In principle, EV roaming enables every driver to charge anywhere on a single invoice, with information about the different prices and charging options available in advance, for example in an app. For an operator, it is a method of attracting more customers to its stations.

Geometric Interpretation of the Redshift Evolution of H_0(z)
Seokcheon Lee
https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.07454 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.07454 https://arxiv.org/html/2511.07454
arXiv:2511.07454v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Recent analyses of the Master Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) sample have revealed a mild redshift dependence in the inferred local Hubble parameter, often expressed as tilde{H}_0(z) = H_0 (1 z)^{-\alpha}, where \alpha quantifies possible departures from the standard cosmological time dilation relation. In this work, we show that such an empirical scaling can be interpreted as a purely geometric effect arising from a small, gauge-dependent normalization of cosmic time within the Robertson-Walker metric. This interpretation naturally unifies the observed redshift evolution of tilde{H}_0(z) and the corresponding deviation in SN Ia light-curve durations under a single geometric time-normalization framework. We demonstrate that this mapping leaves all background distances--linked to the Hubble radius in the general-relativistic frame--unchanged, while the apparent evolution in SN Ia luminosity distances arises from the redshift dependence of the Chandrasekhar mass. The result provides a unified and observationally consistent explanation of the mild Hubble-tension trend as a manifestation of the geometric structure of cosmic time rather than a modification of the expansion dynamics.

Random thought: humans view trees as vulnerable because they can't move out of the way of danger. But consider:
1. A single tree can produce tens of thousands of offspring.
2. Many of those seeds can remain dormant and viable for millennia.
3. Some living trees survive fit millennia themselves.
4. Trees vastly outnumber humans, maybe up to 100:1.
5. Many seeds die, but those that don't have found a niche that supplies them everything they need without having to move.
In contrast, humans:
1. Only produce a few dozen offspring at most. Barely replace their own population.
2. Cannot remain dormant once birthed.
3. Only survive for a century tops. Can only reproduce for maybe half that time.
4. So few of us. Individual humans live hundreds of feet apart, or at least dozens even in the densest cities.
5. Need to constantly burn energy moving around for their next meal. Could starve and die at any time in just a few days if they can't find water.
At a species level, the survival of humans begins to look much more perilous than the survival of many tree species.
Also I forgot to add:
6. Humans kill *each other* all the time. What the fuck humans?!? We have made ourselves our own biggest threat.
Trees do compete locally for water and sunlight and thus do kill each other, but only via circumstance, not intentionally.

The Greenland sea cables are probably being closely monitored, but redundancy seems minimal likely limited to OneWeb satellite connectivity and some VSAT links.
Looking at the routing side, AS8818 announces just two /19s and one /22 (and two /32s in IPv6) with a single upstream provider, Level 3 Inc. This suggests that Layer 3 redundancy is even more constrained.
I would have expected at least one EU-based provider as an additional upstream...

#Gentoo #jobserver revealed another problem with steve in particular, and (I believe) the jobserver protocol in general: blocking clients are prioritized over polling clients.
The problem is simple: when handling blocking reads, steve can issue a job token immediately. When handling a poll, it merely indicates that a token is available, and the client must issue another read request to get it. So if tokens are scarce and there are both blocking and polling clients running, the former are likely to be taking all the incoming tokens.
My idea of working around this is to implement temporary reservations. If a client polls for a token, we reserve one for it. The reserved token can afterwards be only read by the same client. This way, both blocking and polling clients get a token — the former get it immediately, the latter get it reserved for them. And if there are no tokens available, both get into a single FIFO queue, for a poor man's round-robin (steve also throttles all reads to one token at a time).
However, polls technically don't guarantee that the client will eventually read the token, so we need to handle reservation expirations as well.

I heard (Everything I Do) I Do it for You by Bryan Adams earlier, from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I was 20 when it came out, ridiculously in love and I adored this song. I know everyone's rude about it but when I was 20 it absolutely hit the spot and I played the single to death, so much so that when I heard it today my tummy flipped, it's such a core memory of happy days. I was sat with Mum in the care home at the time so the contrast between times was very great.

Modeling, Segmenting and Statistics of Transient Spindles via Two-Dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Dynamics
C. Sun, D. Fettahoglu, D. Holcman
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10844 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.10844 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.10844
arXiv:2512.10844v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We develop here a stochastic framework for modeling and segmenting transient spindle- like oscillatory bursts in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. At the modeling level, individ- ual spindles are represented as path realizations of a two-dimensional Ornstein{Uhlenbeck (OU) process with a stable focus, providing a low-dimensional stochastic dynamical sys- tem whose trajectories reproduce key morphological features of spindles, including their characteristic rise{decay amplitude envelopes. On the signal processing side, we propose a segmentation procedure based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) combined with the detection of a central extremum, which isolates single spindle events and yields a collection of oscillatory atoms. This construction enables a systematic statistical analysis of spindle features: we derive empirical laws for the distributions of amplitudes, inter-spindle intervals, and rise/decay durations, and show that these exhibit exponential tails consistent with the underlying OU dynamics. We further extend the model to a pair of weakly coupled OU processes with distinct natural frequencies, generating a stochastic mixture of slow, fast, and mixed spindles in random temporal order. The resulting framework provides a data- driven framework for the analysis of transient oscillations in EEG and, more generally, in nonstationary time series.

Worked on some more #Gentoo global #jobserver goodies today.
Firstly, Portage jobserver support patch: #PyTest jobs will also be counted towards total job count.
Again, it's not a perfect solution, but it works reasonably. The plugin still starts -n jobs as specified by the arguments, but it acquired job tokens prior to executing every test, therefore delaying actual testing until tokens are available. It doesn't seem to cause noticeable overhead either.

There's still room to tune - shallow memory throughput is definitely suboptimal due to latency issues I need to chase - but with deep memory ngscopeclient ThunderScope is getting some pretty impressive performance.
