[Dr. Thusiyan Nandakumar @Thusi_Kumar]

Thileepan was just 23-years-old when he decided to take a bold stand.

On this day 38 years ago, in front of 100,000 people Rasiah Parthipan - Thileepan - began a hunger strike. He vowed he would have no food. And not a single drop of water.

As a former medical student at the University of Jaffna, he knew what his body would undergo.

He knew that the process of starvation is excruciating. But he was determined.

His demands were simple. End the detention of Tamil political prisoners, end the opening of Sri Lankan military camps and an end the colonisation of the Tamil homeland.

At such a young age, he was prepared to give his life, in a non-violent act of protest, for his peoples’ freedom.

Today, in the homeland and around the world, we remember his courage.

I acquired ~700 historical documents from Saleem al-Rayes, Gaza's #1 antique dealer. The documents span the periods, 1910s-1970s. You can download the docs for free here: https://t.co/glECPzwNEd

Here is video of Saleem explaining why he loves Gaza so much, shot on Oct. 1, 2023:

@Israel @Liorfink Lol. Half of the security cabinet have been regurgitating genocidal rhetoric towards Lebanon. By “peace?” — asked by the Israeli — you mean “annihilation”?

@donyadelsouz Zionist derangement syndrome: the belief that carrying out wars of aggressions, ethnic cleansing and genocide make Israel the most moral country in the world.

Viktor Orbán’s huge defeat in the Hungarian election creates hope for all progressive forces in the world. The defeat suggests that ordinary Hungarians realized that right-wing ideology is nothing but a cover for cronyism.

Nithin Raj, a 23 year old BDS student at Anjarakandy Dental College, Kannur died by suicide after relentless caste based abuse from seniors & faculty, including HOD Dr M K Ram & Prof Sangeetha. Another life lost to caste, and some still have the nerve to pretend it doesn’t exist!

Excited to share my latest work: Teacher-Free Self-Distillation (TFSD)! A new loss function that fixes deep flaws in standard cross-entropy for classification. No more infinite gaps or unstable training. Let's dive in. 🧵 1/8

Neural networks have a fundamental problem. Feed them garbage data and instead of admitting that they are confused, they will confidently hallucinate.

I just open-sourced the HALO-Loss to try and fix this. It give the model a mathematically sound *I don't know!* button.🧵

@slimer48484 @sameQCU I can share the code. Give me some time. Can I DM you?

@slimer48484 @sameQCU You mean replicating student from ghost data? I have done a Resnet18 experiment with CIFAR10 for teacher.

I talked to two Israeli sources on why Iranian launches continue to increase, despite US-Israeli claims that they have destroyed almost all of the launchers. Here is what they said:

1) The 90–95% drop in volume claimed by CENTCOM earlier in the month was probably a temporary lull as Iran repositioned its remaining launchers into hardened sites. Independent satellite analysis suggests that a significant portion of the "80% destruction" claimed by the IDF actually hit high-fidelity decoys.
2) Despite fewer launchers, the lethality per strike has increased. Iran's shift to cluster warheads has allowed a single missile to impact multiple locations simultaneously, compensating for the lower volume of launches
3) Iran has successfully set up mobile, underground units able to fire at steady rates. Iran used that quiet period to move their remaining ~100-120 heavy launchers into "Super-Hardened" facilities
4) Iran is utilizing its Zolfaqar and Dezful road-mobile launchers. These units move from hardened tunnels to pre-surveyed launch spots, fire, and return underground in under 10 minutes, often before coalition drones can re-task for a strike.
5) Because these launching units are decentralized, it is very hard for US and Israeli intelligence to get info on them.

Israel and the United States do not have an answer to this problem. That is why they are trying escalation on energy sources instead. But that is backfiring.

We introduce the Perceptual Manifold (PM): the set of all inputs a network confidently labels as a given class. Our foundational finding: machine PMs are orders of magnitude higher dimensional than human ones.

If you're using Claude Code for research: stop making it read directly from PDFs

We've introduced a SKILL.md that fetches structured, AI-friendly paper overviews from alphaXiv 👀
