Avec la tempête je découvre que 2 de nos fenêtres (en double-vitrage pourtant) ne sont pas étanches. Je me suis retrouvée avec deux belles flaques.
Y a moyen de se retourner contre les vendeurs de l’appart pour vice caché ?
@eliserodarde Si le vendeur est pro, oui, sinon peu de chance.
The next stop on the #NHAMFest26 parade is live now and starting soon (1700 UTC).

@johann will be on the AMR's Steinway B211, improvising for an hour. Let's say "noisy-clumsy minimal". Sound and technical direction by Stéphan Mauclaire. #piano

"Now that infrastructure itself is being treated as evidence of terrorism, and solidarity is turning into “material support.”
This isn't only an attack on A/I. It's a warning to anyone building servers, encrypted communications, independent publishing platforms and other infrastructure that makes organizing beyond state and corporate surveillance possible"

Ratko Mladic has died, aged 84. The Grim Reaper’s aim is getting better.
Nepal is paying a devastating price for a climate crisis it did little to create. A catastrophic flood triggered by a Himalayan glacier collapse has killed over 160 people(with hundreds still missing). This is the cruelest face of climate change -> the countries with fewer resources to protect themselves are often the ones hit hardest.
The question is no longer whether the poorest can afford to adapt. It's whether the rest of the world can afford to keep looking away. #Nepalfloods #ClimateCrisis

@brentsimmons @pasi I am sometimes looking for an article I've seen recently but it might not be in the "today" category anymore. There's no way for me to walk back my feed and find it.
@tclementdev @pasi Good point. One of our feature requests, which I plan to do, is a back button so you can navigate back to it. (NetNewsWire of Yore had this feature.) (It’s already possible to search.)
Panic refunds illegal tariffs customers paid on its Playdate gaming handheld

Note: most corporations are not returning tariff refunds to customers.

Most are pocketing the refunds and using it to disguise a recession.

Tariff refunds are mostly going to misrepresenting earnings calls & artificially inflating stock prices.

The US has declared Autistici/Inventati, an Italian anarchist hacker (in the classic sense of the term) collective, a terrorist organization. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/
But what you really ought to read is this article about A/I's history, and what this means https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083
I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival. Repost information about this broadly, and if you have media contacts, inform them of counter-narratives; there could come a time where the fediverse, or any decentralized network infrastructure, is a target as well if we don't sound the alarms now.

One time you influenced me to look up the history of oneko.

Had a wonderful hot oil massage this afternoon thanks to my beautiful girlfriend. It's eased my body so much and stopped things cracking and hurting for a while.

@paulnatsuo
It was in our local HPC newsgroup. But, yes, it's frightening.
@jrhawley @tante
but i also believe duda's work on compression through tANS is limited to first-order state transitions instead of attempting to support e.g. slurping multiple symbols into one? or vice versa?
but a few weeks ago i started thinking i got that wrong. i think the inferential model he uses is very basic and clearly derived from his physics background (which is, incredibly, not derogatory) and i think we can do better is all. but it does kind of require me to incorporate matrix multiplication shit and i will simply have to do that later especially because compression is so much more effective with domain expertise guiding it
from the "XTR is ECC but better" paper, an example of the reasoning you absolutely cannot find in ECC papers. note the reference to the MOV embedding (menezes-okamoto-vanstone) -- that's the 1993 paper that identified the issues with supersingular curve computation.
note that instead of relying upon the hardness of discrete log, it's "discrete log within the XTR supergroup", exactly equivalent to the claims made by ECC advocates. i personally don't trust it as much as discrete log but if i can get really small public keys and faster computation while actually understanding that i'm computing in GF(q6) and not GF(q) then i would totally take that offer up

![At the Crypto 2000 Rump Session [17] the following comparison was presented,
suggesting that XTR is nothing other than an elliptic curve cryptosystem in disguise. As is well known, the number of points over GF( p^2 ) (including the point at infinity) on an elliptic curve defined over GF( p^2 ) takes the form p^2 − t + 1 for some integer called the Frobenius trace number t ∈ [−2 p, 2 p]. There exist elliptic curves over GF( p^2 ) of such order equal to p ^ 2 − p + 1. These curves are actually characterized in [15] as Class Three supersingular elliptic curves over GF( p^2 ) with Positive parameter t, namely t = p (as opposed to t = − p). This is why we call these curves simply the CTP curves for short. Moreover, there exist efficiently computable (i.e., in polynomial time and space in length of input) injective homomorphisms of such curves onto the XTR supergroup. The Menezes–Okamoto–Vanstone (MOV) embedding [16], provides an example of such a homomorphism.](https://asset.circumstances.run/media_attachments/files/117/168/460/156/357/314/original/9a28152262085ff2.png)
