Well, we have some advance notice. Can we take advantage? Can we find some candidate not deluded by the neoliberal myth, the simplistic YIMBY faith that the market will provide affordable housing?

Tansu Çiller, and the corruption of her neoliberal government, was one of the primary drivers of the neoliberalism-to-fascism pipeline* in Turkey that exacerbated inequality, alienated and marginalised huge swaths of the population, and eventually led to Erdoğan’s fascist/Islamist takeover.
Carve her name, indeed; right next to Margaret Thatcher’s.
* Sound familiar, Americans?

NLAFormer: Transformers Learn Numerical Linear Algebra Operations
Transformers are effective and efficient at modeling complex relationships and learning patterns from structured data in many applications. The main aim of this paper is to propose and design NLAFormer, which is a transformer-based architecture for learning numerical linear algebra operations: pointwise computation, shifting, transposition, inner product, matrix multiplication, and matrix-vector multiplication. Using a linear algebra argument, we demonstrate that transformers can express such o…

Exploring post-neoliberal futures for managing commercial heating and cooling through speculative praxis
What could designing for carbon reduction of heating and cooling in commercial settings look like in the near future? How can we challenge dominant mindsets and paradigms of efficiency and behaviour change? How can we help build worlds through our practice that can become future realities? This paper introduces the fictional consultancy ANCSTRL.LAB to explore opportunities for making space in research projects that can encourage more systems-oriented interventions. We present a design fiction t…

Lasso Penalization for High-Dimensional Beta Regression Models: Computation, Analysis, and Inference
Beta regression is commonly employed when the outcome variable is a proportion. Since its conception, the approach has been widely used in applications spanning various scientific fields. A series of extensions have been proposed over time, several of which address variable selection and penalized estimation, e.g., with an $\ell_1$-penalty (LASSO). However, a theoretical analysis of this popular approach in the context of Beta regression with high-dimensional predictors is lacking. In this pape…

Bin seit ein paar Wochen in Frankreich und es ist SO angenehm, dass in Nachrichten völlig selbstverständlich tatsächliche Interessensunterschiede sachlich dargestellt und besprochen werden. Gewerkschaften, linke Positionen, neoliberale Positionen, grüne Positionen. Statt der Symbolpolitik bei uns.
