gah, i just really love piano pieces that reference the sound of orthodox church bells. Y’all have a favorite, other than that one Rach Prelude which everyone knows and Rachmaninoff hated (which is wild tbh, but I get it)??

BUFFY: Where did you send him? ANYA: The land of the trolls. He'll like it there. Full of trolls. WILLOW: It's hard to be precise, though. Alternate universes don't stay put. Trying to send him to a specific place is sort of like... like... trying to hit a... puppy, by throwing a live bee at it. Which is a weird image, and you should all just forget it. ANYA: It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday... or the crazy melty land... or, you know, the world without shrimp. TARA: There's a world without shrimp? I'm allergic. WILLOW: He, he's probably in troll land.

🎧Transcendental Étude Op. 11, No. 6 - Sergei Lyapunov

[transgenderer]

pluto's orbit is technically chaotic but in an extremely fake and gay way:

Pluto's inclination and eccentricity behave in a chaotic manner. Computer simulations can be used to predict its position for several million years (both forward and backward in time), but after intervals much longer than the Lyapunov time of 10–20 million years, calculations become unreliable

[zvaigzdelasas]

In this work, we connect solving linear algebra problems to sampling from the thermodynamic equilibrium distribution of a system of coupled harmonic oscillators. We present simple thermodynamic algorithms for (1) solving linear systems of equations, (2) computing matrix inverses, (3) computing matrix determinants, and (4) solving Lyapunov equations. Under reasonable assumptions, we rigorously establish asymptotic speedups for our algorithms, relative to digital methods, that scale linearly in matrix dimension. Our algorithms exploit thermodynamic principles like ergodicity, entropy, and equilibration, highlighting the deep connection between these two seemingly distinct fields, and opening up algebraic applications for thermodynamic computing hardware.

[A 100yo veteran of the Great Patriotic War, Ibrahim-Pasha, from Degestan votes in the Russian Presidential elections on Saturday. The Russian Presidential elections are being held from March 15th - March 17th, 2024]

🇷🇺 🚨

MORE THAN 90'000 CYBER ATTACKS ON RUSSIAN ELECTION RESOURCES REPELLED ON FIRST DAY OF VOTING

More than 90k cyber attacks on Russian voting resources were repelled on the first day of voting in the Russian Federation's Presidential elections, according to the Chief of the Solar Group, Igor Lyapunov, a subsidiary of Rostelecom, Russia's largest provider of digital services.

Reporting on the cyber attacks said that this equated to 8 times the number of cyber attacks attempted on the Unified Voting Day of the previous year.

“Of course, yesterday a very large number of attacks and attempted attacks occurred on our resources - more than 90 thousand cyber attacks were carried out on the resources of election portals, on the resources of the Central Election Commission, on remote electronic voting, on the resources of State Services," Lyapunov told reporters with the Russian news agency Ria Novosti.

"This is a large number, which is eight times higher the number of cyber attacks that were recorded last year on Single Voting Day. All these attacks were repelled," Lyapunov added.

The Solar Group chief recounted a large cyber attack that occured mid-day against the digital election portal (DEG) which entered through the application portal, emulating requests from other users of the DEG, with a peak of more than 2.5 million requests per second. Pointing to the attack, Lyapunov noted that "of course, such a load caused delays on the portal."

Within an hour of the cyber attack, a team with the Solar Group managed to process and block the hack, while more than 100 fake phishing resources with a similar profile to the remote electronic voting platform, and the Central Election Commission website, managed to be processed and blocked by their teams on the first day of voting.

“If in the first two months of this year - January, February, we blocked about 60 such resources (phishing - ed.), then yesterday more than 100 such fake resources were blocked. These are portals similar to DEG, these are portals similar to The Central Election Commission, these are similar portals that talk about exit polls - this is all great counteraction to information attacks,” Lyapunov told Ria Novosti.

“Of course, when we talk about such an unprecedented level of cyber attacks, we must understand that the collective West is fighting against us. We see attacks from Ukraine , from IP addresses of Western Europe , North America . And, of course, in terms of the level of professionalism of cyber attacks, we can understand that the most professional, special groups working in our country work," Lyapunov concluded.

Voting for the President of the Russian Federation has been scheduled for three days spanning March 15th, 16th and 17th, with most voting expected to occur on the last day of voting. Current President, Vladimir Putin is expected to win by a substantially large margin, according to opinion polls conducted prior to voting.

Screw spotify wrapped, here's my musical retrospective for the year:

LISTENING

A lot of Jocelyn Morlock - because I miss her very much and her death was really hard, and also because everything she wrote demands repeated listening with the new perspectives each year brings.

Big in my Caroline Shaw era, also got really into some artists that had only been floating in my mental periphery before, like Unsuk Chin and Fazıl Say. Many longtime favourites in the rotation - Pärt, Saariaho, Xenakis, Borodin, Vivaldi, Lyapunov, etc. Bach (quelle surprise.) Gorillaz, Cosmo Sheldrake, The Oh Hellos, Yoko Kanno. I listened to Bone Alphabet about eight million times on repeat, idk man, my brain go BOOM BOOM RATTLE CLICK

As per usual, lots of folk music and bluegrass. Every year my tastes get a little crunchier skewing away from production value and note-perfect-ness. Except Béla Fleck, who can be as note-perfect as he likes without sacrificing an iota of crunch, bless him. SHOWS

Started off this year with HILARY HAHN in January!!! Friends surprised me with tickets ❤️ Held it together through the Sibelius and like IMMEDIATELY cried during the encore lol - she played the Bach E Major Partita, specifically the loure, which I think I've listened to probably at least once a week for the past decade. Honestly I think one of my top favourite concerts of all time.

Other highlights included Danish String Quartet in the spring (tickets were also a Christmas present from different friends, I am a very lucky person 🥺) and then Andrew Bird in the summer.

PLAYING

Took a huge step up for violin this year. My vibrato had seemingly hit a brick wall in terms of expressiveness, and violinist friends encouraged me to keep continually braining myself on that brick wall even if it didn't seem to be producing results, so I did. Then randomly over the summer it just got better!!! Literally felt like it happened overnight. It's not perfect but it feels so good to have vibrato be less of an anxiety/pain point that practice motivation is WAY up.

Ditto viola, although orchestra is out of session and I miss my section grandpas :( Alto clef is less scary than it was last year. Marginally.

Decided to take a break from Chopin this year for piano lol. This was a Bach year. Fugues just felt really good with where my brain was at (aka constant chaos that needed to be settled into some nice form of 3-voiced order.) Also got back in touch with some old friends, soundtracks and the like. My goal for 2024 is to DIG THE FUCK INTO some Lyapunov and finish the Zelda arrangements I'm working on.

Nothing really to say about guitar, alas. I got too lost in the violin sauce and I guess that was enough stringed instruments for my brain in 2023.

I bought a flute this year! Finally have the hang of embouchure - sort of - and now lung capacity will be 2024's challenge.

Probably my big playing goal for 2024 though is to get back into baroque chamber ensembles. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO COULD PROBABLY REMEMBER HOW TO PLAY HARPSICHORD WITH JUST A BIT OF NOODLING, HIT ME UP.

Hi! 2, 21, and 49 please!

jennifer hiiiiiiii!! thank u sm 💖 (i was thinking no one would send me one lol)

2. Do you drink tea or coffee? How do you take it? 

i prefer drinking iced tea!! coffee makes my stomach hurts kajghasj but frozen capuccino is great (i havent had any in a while tho)

21. How was your day today? 

omg thank u for asking!! ive been struggling with some stuff lately, but im getting better!! i was pretty bumped yesterday, but today i managed to be a functional human being. how about your day?

49. What does your last text say? 

it was a text explaining how to calculate the lyapunov exponent, programming in fortran (i have a group project to work on and its giving me a big headache akjghasjg)

thank u sm for sending this! it made me rly happy!
