Regulating Big Tech is like regulating a malignant tumour. You don’t regulate a malignant tumour. You cut it out, with enough of a surgical margin to ensure you get every last putrid bit to avoid regrowth.
(This is moot, of course, as we’re not even regulating Big Tech, we’re feeding it with subsidies, government contracts, and access to national healthcare and other sensitive data while the folks who should be regulating them eye their next lucrative gig beyond the revolving doors of …

Bondi expected to be grilled about use of justice department to investigate Trump’s political enemies – live
Attorney general Pam Bondi is facing senators on the judiciary committee now.
She’ll face questions lawmakers about her tenure at the justice department (DoJ) so far,
particularly as Democratic senators have called out the Trump administration for
weaponizing the DoJ to investigate and prosecute political enemies.
Democratic senator Adam Schiff, of Cali…

$(P,ϕ)$-Tamari lattices
Given any poset $P$ and chain $ϕ$ in $P$, we define the $(P,ϕ)$-Tamari lattice. We study in depth these lattices and prove in particular that they are join-semidistributive, join-congruence uniform and left modular. We prove that the lattices of higher torsion classes of the higher Auslander and Nakayama algebras of type $\mathbb{A}$ are examples of $(P,ϕ)$-Tamari lattices and thus they inherit their properties. We also give general results related to left modular, extremal and congruence no…

Not finished today, but surely surely finished tomorrow!?
Mirrors stuck onto the doors. Quite a lot of mirror. Makes the room feel bigger.
All the trim and handles are on now. Just one hole for cables missing. Catches need to be put on the blind-doors. Adjusting the doors so they open and close smoothly. Couple of lights to be attached. Painting and decorating touch-up.
Actually do believe they'll finish tomorrow.

Robust multicellular programs dissect the complex tumor microenvironment and track disease progression in colorectal adenocarcinomas
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly heterogeneous, with five-year survival rates dropping from $\sim$90% in localized disease to $\sim$15% with distant metastases. Disease progression is shaped not only by tumor-intrinsic alterations but also by the reorganization of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Metabolic, compositional, and spatial changes contribute to this progression, but considered individually they lack context and often fail as therapeutic targets. Understanding their coordination cou…

A Scalable AI Driven, IoT Integrated Cognitive Digital Twin for Multi-Modal Neuro-Oncological Prognostics and Tumor Kinetics Prediction using Enhanced Vision Transformer and XAI
Neuro-oncological prognostics are now vital in modern clinical neuroscience because brain tumors pose significant challenges in detection and management. To tackle this issue, we propose a cognitive digital twin framework that combines real-time EEG signals from a wearable skullcap with structural MRI data for dynamic and personalized tumor monitoring. At the heart of this framework is an Enhanced Vision Transformer (ViT++) that includes innovative components like Patch-Level Attention Regulari…

It's that time again! Tomorrow evening (Tue 9/12), 20:00 NZST is our monthly FOSS/Libre Tech catch up. Find us at https://meeting.iridescent.nz - all welcome! We'll be discussing relevant current events, sharing case studies, looking at new technologies, and how to make a living doing this stuff! Our mee…

STM32MP2 update: slowly working on getting stm32-cpp ported over. It's now failing to build because I haven't implemented any of the RCC code paths to turn on I2C, timer, or GPIO blocks, so that at least should be straightforward.
All of the peripherals are close to STM32H7, but with some extensions and new features in most cases (all of them have an IP identifier and version ID which is handy and I wish they had put this on their older parts too).

Everyone in church tomorrow:
"May peace prize be with you"

Not really sure why he took the radiator off today. Presumably whatever prep was going into the walls needed to be done behind it? He put it back on anyway.
All looks mostly the same to me other than filling in the routes that hold the wires. Which apparently is just stage one of that, and a finer filler will be applied tomorrow.
Suspect maybe some amount of slack on account of the guy who was supposed to be bringing the paint this morning not turning up until (hopefully) tomorrow.
