On Friday, January 9, ICE arrested a member of our union, the Minnesota Newspaper and Communications Guild, as part of Operation Metro Surge.
He has been transferred to a detention facility in Texas, where he is awaiting action on his petition for habeas corpus.

ICYMI: Julia version 1.12 has been released! julialang.org/blog/2025/10...
We want to thank all the contributors to this release and all the testers who helped find regressions and issues in the pre-releases. Without you, this release would not have been possible! 💜
“DSA stands with working people as democrats sell out to the right”
DSA stands in absolute opposition to the proposed deal to pass Trump's billionaire budget. Healthcare is a right, not a bargaining chip.
Like you said these AI tools are great at little task that have been done a million times. Been using Qwen coder for writing unit test (at least a template that I can edit) and documentation. It's great for that! And it actually gets done, rather than me saying I'll get to it later 😅

The package now includes MTKParameters for optimization, improved initialization, dynamic optimization, and new polynomial solvers. It's a major boost for modeling and simulation.

If, say, Louis Farrakhan was brutally murdered, I hope we would all condemn the murder.
But I am pretty sure Republicans wouldn’t be celebrating his life and legacy and insisting no one criticize anything he ever said or did.
LinearSolve.jl just got autotuning 🔥 The problem: picking linear solvers is hardware-dependent voodoo. Solution: automatic benchmarking that tells you EXACTLY what to use. Share the results to improve the system!

Another resource to consider is github.com/rlabbe/Kalma... it helped me a lot when I first started getting into tracking/filtering. Like starting with zero knowledge of the field 😅 So depending on your current knowledge it may be less useful.
I just implement them from scratch. But Turing.jl does have a sub-project for SSMs github.com/TuringLang/S... Haven't used it yet, but it may be an option if you want a framework.
Is your data non-linear/Gaussian? If so a particle filter may be better. It's my good too method for filtering unless I have a very specific reason to use a kalman filter, e.g. limited computing resources.
Angry greyface 4-cell meme: 1) Greyface wearing blue DNC cap, saying "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO" 2) A photo of Zohran Mamdani smiling 3) The same Greyface looking somewhat stunned 4) The same Greyface now looking quite angry
The current administration has more successfully destroyed US science and the scientific enterprise than the hypothetical nuclear weapons program in Iran.
That would be a yes!
I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought
Tidier is a great library. Use it and AlgebraOfGraphics.jl all the time for data analysis.
The return of Abrego-Garcia to face due process in the US, after Trump officials swore he would never ever return to the US, is a reminder that politics matters and pressure works.
Don’t give up. Don’t let the fascists relax.
A weather alert graphic titled “Tornado Watch” shows a large area of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. highlighted in yellow, including cities such as Baltimore, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Richmond, and Virginia Beach. The alert is valid until 12:00 AM EDT Saturday, May 31, 2025. Threat information includes: a couple tornadoes possible, isolated hail up to ping pong size, and scattered wind gusts up to 65 mph. The potential exposure listed is a population of 22,937,551 people, 5,516 schools, and 319 hospitals. The map is issued by the National Weather Service and NOAA.
Most of Maryland is under a tornado watch until midnight.
