Adding another post. This one is a bit less polished, but I want to get it out. As things get harder for everyone, I'm seeing a greater tendency to want to grasp onto revolutionary fiction such as #Andor. I think there's value in that, but it has to come with an informed critique.
> We are so thirsty for hope that we will drink it up, even when that hope comes from a fiction and the truth behind the hope is poison. In Andor, we see the worst elements sacrifice themselves for some of the best. The revolution goes through a process of purification, the complicated elements weeding themselves out to make room for the simplified good, as the rebellion unifies. In reality, this tends to be the opposite how things actually work.
> [...]
> [The Urban Guerilla movement of the 60's through the 80's] centered militant revolution. In doing so, they omitted or cut themselves off from the logistic support needed to sustain such revolutionary activity. The trauma of carrying out violence further isolated and radicalized them. Lacking infrastructure for trauma healing, their decay escalated and became unrecoverable. Ultimately, their revolutionary movements both emulated and reinforced the status quo they were trying to resist.
> There emerges a strange historical parallel that is difficult to see from within the dominant paradigm. The competitive politics of electoralism derives from heroic competition, where people (typically men) compete (often violently) for control over a territory or people. Thus the insurrectionary enters into the very same competition as a challenger, not against the system of domination but for control over it. The success of the revolution, then, does not abolish the system of violent domination but changes rather replaces its management.
> Many modern anarchists will be quick to point out the disconnect between ends and means. While authoritarian projects often assert that "the ends justify the means," and Andor implies the same, anti-authoritarian projects assert the ends and the means are not only united but are, in fact, the same.
This is still very much something I'm actively editing, but I'd still love feedback to help me refine it to it's final form. Typo catches and clarifying questions welcome.

Low regularity Sobolev well-posedness for Vlasov--Poisson
We consider the Vlasov--Poisson equation on $\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n$ with $n \ge 3$. We prove local well-posedness in $H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n)$ with $s> n/2-1/4$, for initial distribution $f_{0} \in H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n)$ having compact support in $v$. In particular, data not belonging to $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n)$ for large $p$ are allowed.

Updated bounds on ultra-light dark matter from the tiniest galaxies
The particle mass of dark matter (DM) was previously constrained using kinematics of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies to $m > 3 \times 10^{-19}\,\mathrm{eV}$. This constraint, which excludes the "fuzzy" range of ultra-light dark matter from comprising all of the DM, relies on an estimate of the heating rate from fuzzy dark matter (FDM) wave interference using linear perturbation theory. Here, we compare the results of this perturbative calculation to full Schrödinger-Poisson simulations of the evolu…

Electrically reconfigurable nonvolatile transmissive metasurface in visible
The synergy between metasurfaces and non-volatile phase change materials (PCMs) has created many reconfigurable photonic devices for applications in optical memory, optical computing and optical communications. But these advances have been limited to the infrared wavelengths due to the high loss of PCMs in the visible regime. Here we demonstrate a nonvolatile visible metasurface that is electrically reconfigurable using wide bandgap PCM Sb2S3. Our device supports a resonant mode at 610 nm, a wa…

For Professor Yang, the golden snub-nosed monkey was like Jane Austin with her chimpanzees, he lived with them and learned their ways.

#NowPlaying excellent new debut LP 'Fate Unknown' from HOT LOAD outta L.A. - this is rip roaring.. Kinda punk like Poison Idea but also plenty of Motorhead vibes you'll hear more and more as the tracks go on. A great batch of rowdy tunes. Love how the first hashtag on this is 'drugs' 😂

The ALMA-QUARKS survey: Extensive detection of acetamide in multiple high-mass star-forming regions
Acetamide (CH$_{3}$CONH$_{2}$), a key interstellar amide and a methyl derivative of formamide (NH$_{2}$CHO), has been sparsely detected, limiting insights into its prebiotic relevance. We present the first systematic survey for acetamide toward 52 hot molecular cores using ALMA Band 6 data. Acetamide has been detected in 10 cores, markedly expanding the inventory of known emitters. The derived column densities of acetamide range from $(2.5\pm0.9)\times10^{14}$ to $(1.5\pm0.6)\times10^{16}$ cm$^…

The Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for PRIMA: Approach and Estimated Performance
We present the architectural concept for the Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for the Probe Mission for far-IR Astrophysics (PRIMA). FIRESS spans the 24--235 micron range with four R ~ 100 slit-fed grating modules, each coupling to a 24 (spatial) by 84 (spectral) pixel array of kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs). All four arrays are read out simultaneously, and a point source of interest can be coupled to two of the four bands at a time. A Fourier transform module can be enga…
