Top 25 NFL moments of first 25 years of the 2000s: From Aaron Rodgers' Hail Mary to Super Bowl helmet catch

It always cracks me up when I see stuff like this. I'm now on my second 100yo home, and in both cases the window weight cavities were just empty despite having windows "professionally" installed. Now, my first 100yo home had the windows replaced in the 70s/80s, so.. I can forgive that. The 2nd 100yo home, tho, had the windows replaced in the 2000s. They also insulated from the interior (putting foamboard against the brick, sealed w/ spray foam, then 2x3 metal studs to build a n…

#NowPlaying a throwback to the late 90s/early 2000s. Add N to (X) were a very strange, synthy, blippy electronic band that were only together for a few years at the middle/end of the 90s, and barely into the 2000s (they broke up in 2003). They made some catchy, weird songs.
Add N to (X) did a few LPs, this is my favorite, 'Insult to Injury', from 2000:

Scale-Invariant Regret Matching and Online Learning with Optimal Convergence: Bridging Theory and Practice in Zero-Sum Games
A considerable chasm has been looming for decades between theory and practice in zero-sum game solving through first-order methods. Although a convergence rate of $T^{-1}$ has long been established since Nemirovski's mirror-prox algorithm and Nesterov's excessive gap technique in the early 2000s, the most effective paradigm in practice is *counterfactual regret minimization*, which is based on *regret matching* and its modern variants. In particular, the state of the art across most benchmarks …

New NERDS publication on hitting the music charts
https://nerds.itu.dk/2025/09/04/new-nerds-publication-on-hitting-the-music-charts/

When Donald Trump didn’t like the weak jobs numbers that were released on Friday, he fired the person responsible for producing them.
It was a move with few precedents in the century-long history of economic statistics in the United States.
And for good reason: When political leaders meddle in government data, it rarely ends well.
Perhaps most famously, there is the case of Argentina, which in the 2000s and 2010s systematically understated inflation figures to such a degre…

@… 2000s vibes

"Let us return to 2000: a few days before Joel Spolsky published his Test, Mark Lucovsky gave a talk titled “Windows: A Software-Engineering Odyssey” at the 4th USENIX Windows System Symposium in Seattle, Washington. He was a member of the original Windows NT team from 1988 to the mid-2000s. The PowerPoint slides of the talk are still available online, and I seriously recommend you take a look at them.
Because part of the “odyssey” was, you guessed it, source control."

Twenty Years Is Nothing
In a previous edition of this magazine, we argued that English was so pervasive in our industry, nobody even questioned its use anymore. The same can be said of Git. It is difficult to imagine that merely twenty years ago, the landscape of source control tools was more diverse, and the choice of one such tool was much more complicated than today. Actually, Git was not even on the map yet. Before debating whether the hegemony of Git is good or bad, let us go back in time for a little while.

I burned pictures on a CD today! Inside the camera I was using to take the pictures!

CP violation in the hyperon decays $\Sigma\to N\pi$

CP violation in the hyperon decays $Σ\to Nπ$
The study of $CP$ violation in hyperon transitions has a long history. In the early 2000s the HyperCP experiment made a major effort to seek $CP$-odd signals in the decay sequence $Ξ^-\toΛπ^-$ and $Λ\to pπ^-$, which motivated more searches. Most recently the BESIII and LHCb Collaborations have acquired or improved the upper bounds on $CP$ violation in a variety of hyperon nonleptonic processes, including $Σ^+\to nπ^+$ and $Σ^+\to pπ^0$. These measurements have not reached the standard-…

Worker Quality, Matching and Productivity Slowdown
Measured aggregate productivity and the income share of top earners are strongly and positively correlated in the Canadian data. Productivity slowdown since the early 2000s was accompanied with a flattening income share of top earners. Motivated by these facts, we study the role of firms' top-paid workers and worker matching in accounting for the slowdown of measured total factor productivity. We first estimate total factor productivity for Canadian firms in the period of 2003-2015, taking into…

Interleaving Distance as an Edit distance
The concept of edit distance, which dates back to the 1960s in the context of comparing word strings, has since found numerous applications with various adaptations in computer science, computational biology, and applied topology. By contrast, the interleaving distance, introduced in the 2000s within the study of persistent homology, has become a foundational metric in topological data analysis. In this work, we show that the interleaving distance on finitely presented single- and multi-paramet…

Sheriffs with shields and batons.
You don't often see it expressed in a visible way like this, but such state violence ultimately backs up all property ownership. Homelessness only exists because if people entered and made a home in a vacant or underused property, the state would use essentially unlimited force to evict them.

For Russians Like Me, Silencing Jimmy Kimmel Looks Dangerously Familiar
Opinion | The removal from the air of a second American comedian since President Donald Trump was elected in the United States should send chills down the spine of every journalist who worked in Moscow in the early 2000s.  That was how President Vladimir Putin began consolidating his power – by attacking mainstream media, starting with television and, notably, TV comedians.  In 2000, Putin was deeply unhappy with the coverage he was getting on the NTV television channel, whose journali…

Minimal complexity cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds with geodesic boundary
In the early 2000s, Frigerio, Martelli, and Petronio studied $3$-manifolds of smallest combinatorial complexity that admit hyperbolic structures. As part of this work they defined and studied the class $M_{g,k}$ of smallest complexity manifolds having $k$ torus cusps and connected totally geodesic boundary a surface of genus $g$. In this paper, we provide a complete classification of the manifolds in $M_{k,k}$ and $M_{k+1,k}$, which are the cases when the genus $g$ is as small as possible. In a…

"Gold-Standard" $Δ$-Machine Learned and Transferable Potential for Linear Alkanes
The conformational properties of linear alkanes, C$_n$H$_{2n+2}$, have been of intense interest for many years. Experiments and corresponding electronic structure calculations were first reported in the mid-2000s and continue to the present time. These focus on the minimum chain length where the transition from the linear minimum to the hairpin minimum occurs. We recently reported a transferable many-body permutationally invariant polynomial (MB-PIP) for linear alkanes using B3LYP electronic en…

A new framework of multidimensional pulsating stellar envelopes I.: Properties of turbulent convection in static RR Lyrae envelope models with SPHERLS
Context. The one-dimensional treatment of turbulent convection had large successes until the early 2000s. However, the recent abundance and precision of observational data shows that this problem is far from solved. A modern approach should be developed by using multidimensional models. Aims. We established a new theoretical framework for comparison between one-dimensional and multidimensional convection models by mapping the two-dimensional structure of the convective zone and optimizing the…

Unveiling the Listener Structure Underlying K-pop's Global Success: A Large-Scale Listening Data Analysis
From the mid-2000s to the 2010s, K-pop moved beyond its status as a regionally popular genre in Asia and established itself as a global music genre with enthusiastic fans around the world. However, little is known about how the vast number of music listeners across the globe have listened to and perceived K-pop. This study addresses this question by analyzing a large-scale listening dataset from Last.fm. An analysis of the distribution of play counts reveals that K-pop experienced a significant…

The Ferroelectric Superconducting Field Effect Transistor
The ferroelectric field-effect transistor (Fe-FET) is a three-terminal semiconducting device first introduced in the 1950s. Despite its potential, a significant boost in Fe-FET research occurred about ten years ago with the discovery of ferroelectricity in hafnium oxide. This material has been incorporated into electronic processes since the mid-2000s. Here, we observed ferroelectricity in a superconducting Josephson FET (Fe-JoFET) operating at cryogenic temperatures below 1 Kelvin. The Fe-JoFE…
