I'm finally trying printing with Spiderflex (77-82A shore) filament. The print speeds remind me of my first 3d printer. Two tiny parts totaling under 3g took about an hour, printing with a maximum speed of 10mm/s. But having really flexible TPE is really handy; there's really no reasonable alternative!
Now I have new feet for my KX3, and honestly they might be better than the originals (sorry Elecraft!) They are at least as grippy on the table surface, and they are a closer fit on the …

There is an ActivityPub proposal that involves the #DNS.
I have only just discovered it and have not considered it deeply so I am reluctant to make any grand statements. It is not obvious to me why this is useful or better than alternative approaches. It appears to involve the use of TXT RRs, any new de facto use of which makes me skeptical.

[TRACKING] FEP-612d: Identifying ActivityPub Objects through DNS
The proposal has been received. Thank you! This issue tracks discussions and updates to the proposal during the `DRAFT` period. Please post links to relevant discussions as comment to this issue. `dateReceived`: 2023-04-18 If no further actions are taken, the proposal may be set by ed...

Dwarf diversity in $Λ$CDM with baryons
Observed rotation curves of dwarf galaxies exhibit significant diversity at fixed halo mass, challenging galaxy formation within the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model. Previous cosmological galaxy formation simulations with baryonic physics fail to reproduce the full diversity of rotation curves, suggesting either that there is a flaw in baryonic feedback models, or that an alternative to CDM must be invoked. In this work, we use the Marvelous Massive Dwarf zoom-in simulations, a suite of high-resol…

A great quote from the book Autocracy Inc from Ann Applebaum, a recommended read. A good description of the atmosphere the Trump administration tries to create.

New Gist: No Contest
"There are, perhaps, alternative worlds where lots of things are different. Fianna Fšil maybe decide to run an MEP instead of a MIA. Or one where a fleet of no-hopers got nominated and we spent the whole campaign having to listen to the media asking candidates their opinions on the Latin mass and if cocaine bloat is a positive feature in a President. "
Also, I explain exactly what kind of idiot I have recently been.

Maybe I'm in my own little info bubble but I find it hard to believe that 60% of Canadians would support a new pipeline from Alberta to the west coast. I was disappointed with Carney's negotiation/capitulation to Smith, and I think longterm it's a misstep by the Liberals. Indigenous People will fight it tooth and nail, and we should support them in that effort. B.C. doesn't want a new terminal on their coast. Demand for oil continues to drop and there's a real risk the pipeline is severely underused upon completion. Most of the money made from oil moving through this pipe will leave Canada. Canada's reputation is polluted with this announcement while the majority of countries continue to develop alternative energy solutions. I can understand the support from Alberta as the province doesn't appear to have a strategy for transitioning from an oil dependent economy. But who are the other Canadians that Angus Reid surveyed?

An Investigation into the Performance of Non-Contrastive Self-Supervised Learning Methods for Network Intrusion Detection
Network intrusion detection, a well-explored cybersecurity field, has predominantly relied on supervised learning algorithms in the past two decades. However, their limitations in detecting only known anomalies prompt the exploration of alternative approaches. Motivated by the success of self-supervised learning in computer vision, there is a rising interest in adapting this paradigm for network intrusion detection. While prior research mainly delved into contrastive self-supervised methods, th…

Zeros and Orthogonality of generalized Fibonacci polynomials
This paper analyzes the concept of orthogonality in second-order polynomial sequences that have Binet formula similar to that of the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, referred to as Generalized Fibonacci Polynomials (GFP). We give a technique to find roots of the GFP. As a corollary of this result, we give an alternative proof of a special case of Favard's Theorem. The general case of Favard's Theorem guarantees that there is a measure to determine whether a sequence of second-order polynomials is o…
