Say you have an opportunity to do whatever it takes to get something done.
Or you are forced on a dramatic shipping deadline.

The nations of #South #America
must create a #Unitary 'block'
diplomatic economic and military
to counteract the #American fascist advance
as soon as possible
if they don't they will be attached individually
and they will not have the sufficient 'weight'
to counter the aggression.
And there will be aggression
surely
since war is the only solution fascists like #Trump know.

Through a political desire for unity, ‘we are documenting the transformation of the very meaning given to the principle of #laïcité, the interpretation of which has undergone a notorious shift: whereas yesterday it allowed the pluralist expression of beliefs, today it requires religious neutrality’.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is brazenly refusing to honor his agreement to allow a free and fair election this year.
The United States lifted some sanctions in October after the Maduro government and the Venezuelan opposition, known as the #Unitary #Platform, agreed in Barbados on a “road map” that would lead to elections.
It stipulated that all candidates would enjoy freedom of movement and assembly, that each party could select its own candidates and that they would have equal access to the media.
But Mr. Maduro has violated the agreement. In June, the regime barred #María #Corina #Machado, the most popular opposition leader
, from running, based on specious corruption allegations.
Ms. Machado overwhelmingly won an unofficial opposition nominating contest.
She appealed the ban, but on Jan. 26, the Maduro-controlled Supreme Court turned down her bid for reinstatement

Today is the anniversary of the victory of a militant struggle in France.
White men of left and right coordinated to push young brown and black women back to their rightful place: subaltern.
October 2003: Lycée Henri Wallon in Aubervilliers expelled two sisters for wearing headscarves. A deafening political and media controversy ensued. The polemic obtained a law enacted on 15 March 2004, that banned girls wearing headscarves from schools.
Nathalie (in 2015): "I have children to feed and I’m looking for work, so I’m taking off my headscarf. I have no choice. No choice."

There are two effective ways of participating in a discussion topic: #groups and #hashtags.
For example, choose your <topic> and type <topic> in the search box at the top of your screen. Then:
- "Profiles": spot one ending in "@a.gup.pe" then on the right push "Follow";
- "Hashtags": spot an item and then in the top right-hand corner "Follow the hashtag".
You may enter a peculiar discussion below, if it piques you:

#judicialBias
#unitary
#fragility
#proZionism [support, allies]

There is no judicial truth. Organisations cannot "do Justice". Let's discuss the biases of the judicial institutions.

"The world we live in is false in the sense that institutions deceive about the truth of their role and their objective functions. Therefore, telling the truth about these institutions and calling them into account are one and the same thing."
"Non-intervention and non-commitment constitute objectively ways of not changing the world and hence of committing to its conservation."

If Trump wins, he’ll be a vessel for the most regressive figures in US politics
#CPAC is a harbinger of what a second #Trump presidency would bring,
influenced by a consortium of self-proclaimed #Christian #nationalists and #reactionary #dark #money groups like the Heritage Foundation who see Trump as their return ticket to relevancy.
The #Heritage #Foundation has poured $22m into #Project2025, their plan to gut the “deep state” and radically reshape the government
with a souped-up version of the #unitary #executive theory, which contends that the president should be allowed to enact his agenda without pesky checks and balances.
To paraphrase one speaker at CPAC: “Welcome to the end of democracy.”
The Heritage Foundation’s policy agenda is disturbingly #radical, even by the standards of the modern Republican party.
They want to #dismantle the administrative state, #ban #abortion completely at the state and federal level, and, as always, #cut #taxes for the rich.
They would put #religious #liberties over civil ones, and #Christian rights over the rights of #women, people of color, #LGBTQ+ people and really anyone who does not look and think exactly like they do.
As Trump himself said in an alarmingly theocratic speech last week:
“No one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration, I swear to you.”
And we have no reason to doubt him. Russell #Vought, a radical involved with Project 2025 who speaks with Trump at least twice a month, is a candidate to be the next White House chief of staff.
Vought works closely with the Christian nationalist William #Wolfe, a former Trump administration official who has advocated for ending surrogacy, no-fault divorce, sex education in schools and policies that “subsidize single motherhood”.
The Heritage Foundation has even called for “ending recreational sex”.
Media coverage of Trump tends to focus on his mounting legal woes (nearly half a billion in damages and counting) and increasingly bizarre rants (magnets don’t work underwater).
But such an approach misses the point.
We can’t risk focusing on spectacle at the expense of strategy, and he has made his strategy perfectly clear.
#Language #models. For example, in #NLP, when #training
recurrent #neural #networks, it is useful to constraint the transition #matrix to be #unitary (Arjovsky et al., 2015). The unitary
matrix keeps the #gradient #norm unchanged, and the network
is able to learn long-range dependencies. Unitary matrices
form a #smooth #Riemannian #manifold, and Riemannian #optimization can be easily applied to them.

I've worked out that the injectivity radius under the Euclidean metric for the #unitary group U(n) is π and for real and special subgroups O(n), SO(n), and SU(n) is π√2.
This seems like a pretty basic property, but I can't find a single reference that gives the injectivity radii for any of these groups. Anyone know of one?
