Victory! The Immigrant Safety Act was just signed into law by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.

New Mexico is sending a message: ICE can't be allowed to continue terrorizing our communities.

Thanks!

Why you need your whole body – from head to toes – to think | Aeon Essays Contemplating the world requires a body, and a body requires an immune system: the rungs of life create the stuff of thought

What if thinking doesn’t begin in the brain, but in the ceaseless labour of our cells? Today’s essay rethinks the question of how we become minds, arguing that cognition begins not in the mind but in the collective processes that keep a body alive @annaciaunica.bsky.social

Distributed Information and Computation in Generic Quantum Systems This book provides insight into modern constructs of AI and quantum information and includes tools for the characterization of physical interactions.

Just out today - generic agents and the FEP from unmodified quantum information theory.

Operational protocols cannot certify classicality The existence and practical utility of operational protocols that certify entanglement raises the question of whether operational protocols exist that certify the absence of entanglement, i.e. that ce...

Amplituhedra for Generic Quantum Processes from Computation-Scattering Correspondence We study the relationship between computation and scattering both operationally (hence phenomenologically) and formally. We show how topological quantum neural networks (TQNNs) enable universal quantu...

Negligence? As if he's not sharing military plans via Signal on purpose? How about "violation of the Espionage Act"?

Sure looks like it.

In the language of computation, the history of anything is an execution trace, not a function. Execution traces are constructive and generally not ergodic. I don't see any disagreement with classical physics being computational.

Burn him!

In New Mexico, we stand up for workers and justice. I
marched alongside the fierce Dolores Huerta and community this morning in Barelas. In this moment, in this country, we have to harness our strength, stand together and fight for what is right, and I'm not backing down.

Today, we’re saying hands off
Medicaid, Social Security, VA benefits and all of the programs that New Mexicans rely on. As we stand together, we send a clear message: we will never stop organizing and we will stand up for our communities!

Yep, that's goal. A country for the rich and only the rich. What's the plan for reversing this takeover?

What about the rising tide of vicious right-wing madness that has engulfed the world over the past two decades. Might that have anything to do with it?

Every senator who values freedom should now step up.

Lovely. Thank you, and Congratulations!

What will you do to oppose this?

All voter suppression acts are un-American. The only goal of these bills is the replacement of democracy with dictatorship.
