This isn’t simply a matter of Biden pleasing his donors, nor is it really about Biden in particular. This is the liberal international order working as designed, namely that the US makes the rules and orders everyone else around. Israel is a settler-colonial project of the Western imperial core, and it has been the US’ unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia for generations. As Biden has said throughout his career, “were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region.” The Hague Invasion Act has been on the books for over 20 years, so this is nothing new and has always been bipartisan.

This person may be confused, but still your tagline is a waste of mods’ time. And just speaking as a user I find it to be annoying visual pollution, especially since I think it’s ineffectual, unless your only goal is to “raise awareness.” Beyond that I think any effectiveness is about as plausible as that of sovereign citizenship.

In virtually every war in these Burgerlanders’ lifetimes, their country has been on the morally & militarily losing side. They desperately, desperately want a moral & military victory for once, even moreso now that Biden has proven to be Genocider in Chief.

High praise indeed! waow-based Variyam co-develops innovative new data analysis algorithm

The authors presented their new algorithm at the 2022 European Symposium on Algorithms, a premier international conference on algorithm design. Since then, their discovery has been gaining recognition and praise from computer scientists across the field, including world-renowned computer scientist Donald Knuth, author of “The Art of Computer Programming,” who is often referred to as "the father of the analysis of algorithms.”

In May 2023, Knuth published his own paper on the algorithm, “The CVM Algorithm for Estimating Distinct Elements in Streams [PDF],” offering extensive praise and even naming it the CVM algorithm in honor of its inventors. Knuth said in addition to “explaining the ideas to just about everybody [he] meets,” he expects the algorithm to become a foundational aspect of computer science in the near future.

"Their algorithm is not only interesting; it is extremely simple,” Knuth said in the paper. “It’s wonderfully suited to teaching students who are learning the basics of computer science. I’m pretty sure that something like this will eventually become a standard textbook topic.”

As Knuth predicted and Variyam hoped, the algorithm has already found a place in computer science courses.

From Knuth’s paper:

Algorithm D (Distinct element estimation). Given an arbitrary data stream A = (a1, a2, . . . , am) and a buffer size s ≥ 1 as described above, this algorithm returns an unbiased estimate of |A| = |{a1, a2, . . . , am}|. It uses a buffer B that’s capable of holding up to s ordered pairs (a, u), where a is an element of the stream and u is a real number, 0 ≤ u < 1.

D1. [Initialize.] Set t ← 0, p ← 1, and B ← ∅.
D2. [Done?] Terminate if t = m, returning the estimate |B|/p.
D3. [Input a.] Set t ← t + 1 and a ← at, the next element of the stream.
D4. [Remove a from B.] If B contains the pair (a, u), for any u, delete it.
D5. [Maybe put a in B.] Let u be a uniform deviate, independent of all others (namely a random real number in the range 0 ≤ u < 1). If u ≥ p, go back to step D2. Otherwise, if |B| < s, insert (a, u) into B and go back to step D2.
D6. [Maybe swap a into B.] (At this point u < p and |B| = s.) Let (a’, u’) be the element of B for which u’ is maximum. If u > u’, set p ← u. Otherwise replace (a’, u’) in B by (a, u) and set p ← u’. Then go back to step D2.
