The border rank of the $4 \times 4$ determinant tensor is twelve
We show that the border rank of the $4 \times 4$ determinant tensor is at least $12$ over $\mathbb{C}$, using the fixed ideal theorem introduced by Buczyńska-Buczyński and the method by Conner-Harper-Landsberg. Together with the known upper bound, this implies that the border rank is exactly $12$.

The 3D index and Dehn filling
We provide a rigorous proof of the Gang-Yonekura formula describing the transformation of the 3D index under Dehn filling a cusp in an orientable 3-manifold. The 3D index, originally introduced by Dimofte, Gaiotto and Gukov, is a physically inspired q-series that encodes deep topological and geometric information about cusped 3-manifolds. Building on the interpretation of the 3D index as a generating function over Q-normal surfaces, we introduce a relative version of the index for ideal triangu…

While China’s older tech pioneers tend to idolize Silicon Valley,
younger founders find their role models in people such as
DeepSeek’s Liang Wenfeng and
Unitree’s Wang Xingxing
— both of whom studied exclusively at Chinese universities and are known to predominantly hire domestic talent.

A December analysis from Citi GPS projected that the world would be populated by 648 million humanlike bots by 2050,
unlocking an enduring production advantage and immen…

The Chinese robots are coming
China is miles ahead in the race to dominate a technology that could define the 21st century.

TikTok Rewards Divisive Political Messaging During the 2025 German Federal Election
Short-form video platforms like TikTok reshape how politicians communicate and have become important tools for electoral campaigning. Yet it remains unclear what kinds of political messages gain traction in these fast-paced, algorithmically curated environments, which are particularly popular among younger audiences. In this study, we use computational content analysis to analyze a comprehensive dataset of N=25,292 TikTok videos posted by German politicians in the run-up to the 2025 German fede…

James Bond writers can't find a way to resurrect fictional guy who has an agent for over 60 years, mostly getting younger, except in the early 80s

Doctors are seeing more aggressive breast cancer in younger women than expected #women

Doctors are seeing more aggressive breast cancer in younger women than expected
Younger women are being diagnosed with breast cancer more often than screening guidelines anticipate. Many of these cancers are invasive and harder to treat, especially in those under 40. After analyzing 11 years of data, researchers found that this age group makes up a steady and significant share of diagnoses. The results support a stronger push for earlier risk evaluation.

Ben Meiselas is a very busy man.
His “pro-democracy” channel MeidasTouch,
which he runs with his younger brothers Jordan and Brett,
puts out 15 or more videos a day, most of them presented by Meiselas himself.
The prolific output is part of the reason The MeidasTouch has become one of the most listened-to podcasts in the US,
routinely beating the mighty Joe Rogan in both video and audio,
and even overtaking Fox News in YouTube views.
Rogan and oth…
