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.

Sounds like they picked up where the Quiet American project left off. That’s a good thing! There’s a new Mirt, recorded in the mountains of Thailand, out today.

The one job AI cannot steal: unemployment

#Neurotypicals: You need to be bored. Next time you go to the gym, don't listen to that podcast. Just try to be in your head for a while. Maybe you'll think about the meaning of life, and maybe you'll figure it out.
My #ADHD brain trying to unload the dishwasher without a podcast: Hey, Remember the intro to Clifford the Big Red Dog? That song? You sort of paid attention to it for a few seconds while our kid was watching it. I remember those 5 seconds. Let's sing that intro... just that first part though. We're just going to keep doing that, over and over, hundreds of times in a row.
Neurotypicals: People don't like to be bored. People will give themselves electric shocks to not be bored. They don't want to think about the big questions

SinLlama - A Large Language Model for Sinhala
Low-resource languages such as Sinhala are often overlooked by open-source Large Language Models (LLMs). In this research, we extend an existing multilingual LLM (Llama-3-8B) to better serve Sinhala. We enhance the LLM tokenizer with Sinhala specific vocabulary and perform continual pre-training on a cleaned 10 million Sinhala corpus, resulting in the SinLlama model. This is the very first decoder-based open-source LLM with explicit Sinhala support. When SinLlama was instruction fine-tuned for …

Global small data weak solutions of 2-D semilinear wave equations with scale-invariant damping, III
For the $2$-D semilinear wave equation with scale-invariant damping $\square u+\fracμ{t}\partial_tu=|u|^p$, where $t\geq 1$, $μ>0$ and $p>1$, it is conjectured that the global small data weak solution $u$ exists when $p>p_{s}(2+μ) =\frac{μ+3+\sqrt{μ^2+14μ+17}}{2(μ+1)}$ for $0<μ\le 2$ and $p>p_f(2)=2$ for $μ\geq 2$. In our previous papers, the global small solution $u$ has been obtained for $p>p_{s}(2+μ)$ and $0<μ<2$ but $μ\not=1$. In the present paper, by the vector field …

Global in-time rough large data solution to complex-valued semilinear damped evolution equations
We study the semilinear Cauchy problem for complex-valued damped evolution equations \begin{align*} \partial_t^2u+(-Δ)^σu+(-Δ)^δ\partial_tu=u^p,\ \ u(0,x)=u_0(x),\ \partial_tu(0,x)=u_1(x), \end{align*} with $δ\in[0,σ]$, $σ\in\mathbb{R}_+$ and $p\in\mathbb{N}_+\backslash\{1\}$, where the initial data belong to the rough space $E^α_s$ endowed with the norm \begin{align*} \|f\|_{E^α_s}=\big\|\langleξ\rangle^s\,2^{α|ξ|}\widehat{f}(ξ)\big\|_{L^2}\ \ \mb…
