Analysis: YC picked just four Indian startups in 2024 vs. 66 in 2021, amid a growing trend of startups shifting their parent entities to India for domestic IPOs (The Economic Times)
https://economictimes.…

From 66 to 4: Why Y Combinator backed fewer Indian startups in 2024
Y Combinator's selection of Indian startups has decreased significantly. This decline is attributed to factors like YC's US incorporation requirement and the rise of domestic IPOs. Indian startups are shifting focus to local funding options. They find domestic markets favorable for listing. YC is also prioritizing AI-focused startups. This shift impacts Indian participation. Domestic capital is growing with regulatory support.

Pressure dependent structure of neat liquid methanol, CH3OH: molecular dynamics simulations with various united atom type potentials
Molecular dynamics computer simulations have been conducted on neat liquid methanol, using three different united atom (three site) interatomic potentials: TraPPE [J. Phys. Chem. B 105, 3093 (2001)], UAM-I [J. Mol. Liq. 323, 114576 (2021)] and OPLS/2016 [J. Chem. Phys. 145, 034508 (2016)]. The effects of pressure, between 1 bar and 6 kbar, have been evaluated on total scattering structure factors, partial radial distribution functions, as well as on collective characteristics such as ring size …

Unavoidable pivot-minors in graphs of large rank-depth
Shrub-depth and rank-depth are related graph parameters that are dense analogs of tree-depth. We prove that for every positive integer $t$, every graph of sufficiently large rank-depth contains a pivot-minor isomorphic to a path on $t$ vertices or a graph consisting of two disjoint cliques of size $t$ joined by a half graph. This answers an open problem raised by Kwon, McCarty, Oum, and Wollan in 2021.

On approximate quantum error correction for symmetric noise
We revisit the extendability-based semi-definite programming hierarchy introduced by Berta et al. [Mathematical Programming, 1 - 49 (2021)], which provides converging outer bounds on the optimal fidelity of approximate quantum error correction (AQEC). As our first contribution, we introduce a measurement-based rounding scheme that extracts inner sequences of certifiably good encoder-decoder pairs from this outer hierarchy. To address the computational complexity of evaluating fixed levels of th…

Stealing Accuracy: Predicting Day-ahead Electricity Prices with Temporal Hierarchy Forecasting (THieF)
We introduce the concept of temporal hierarchy forecasting (THieF) in predicting day-ahead electricity prices and show that reconciling forecasts for hourly products, 2- to 12-hour blocks, and baseload contracts significantly (up to 13%) improves accuracy at all levels. These results remain consistent throughout a challenging 4-year test period (2021-2024) in the German power market and across model architectures, including linear regression, a shallow neural network, gradient boosting, and a s…

We present a systematic analysis on the X-ray variability in 13 bright quasars at z > 4.5, combining recent Swift observations from 2021 to 2023 and archival multi-epoch observations. Upper limits of the luminosity measurements were included in the analysis by using the Kaplan-Meier estimator method. It is found that the high-z quasars exhibit X-ray variability on both short-term (hours-to-days) and intermediate-term (weeks-to-months) timescales, with short-term variability dominating the overa…

Kida et al.\ introduced collage systems [Theor. Comput. Sci., 2003] to generalize SLPs by adding repetition rules and truncation rules. The smallest size $c(T)$ of collage systems for $T$ has gained attention to see how these generalized rules improve the compression ability of SLPs. Navarro et al. [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 2021] s…

Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

The Case against Scale: Empirical Evidence of Underperformance in Large Secondary Funds
The paper analyses the increasing popularity of large funds in the secondary private equity market, which are pegged on the perceived larger scale advantages of operational efficiency and fewer manager relationships (Reuter & Zitzewitz, 2021). However, it has been proved empirically that smaller funds perform better than the big ones in terms of their internal rates of return (IRRs). This work questions this authoritative view, providing evidence of outperformance of smaller funds relative to t…

The Power Contamination Problem on Grids Revisited: Optimality, Combinatorics, and Links to Integer Sequences
This paper presents a combinatorial study of the power contamination problem, a dynamic variant of power domination modeled on grid graphs. We resolve a conjecture posed by Ainouche and Bouroubi (2021) by proving it is false and instead establish the exact value of the power contamination number on grid graphs. Furthermore, we derive recurrence relations for this number and initiate the enumeration of optimal contamination sets. We prove that the number of optimal solutions for specific grid fa…

The Perturbation Theory Approach to Stability in the Scattered Disk
Scattered disk objects (SDOs) are distant minor bodies that orbit the sun on highly eccentric orbits, frequently with perhelia near Neptune's orbit. Gravitational perturbations due to Neptune frequently lead to chaotic dynamics, with the degree of chaotic diffusion set by an object's perihelion distance. Batygin et al. (2021) developed a perturbative approach for scattered disk dynamics, finding that, to leading order in semi-major axis ratio, an infinite series of $2:j$ resonances drives the d…

Modified Loss of Momentum Gradient Descent: Fine-Grained Analysis
We analyze gradient descent with Polyak heavy-ball momentum (HB) whose fixed momentum parameter $β\in (0, 1)$ provides exponential decay of memory. Building on Kovachki and Stuart (2021), we prove that on an exponentially attractive invariant manifold the algorithm is exactly plain gradient descent with a modified loss, provided that the step size $h$ is small enough. Although the modified loss does not admit a closed-form expression, we describe it with arbitrary precision and prove global (f…

Rank 3 Quadratic Generators of Veronese Embeddings: The Characteristic 3 Case
This paper investigates property QR(3) for Veronese embeddings over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $3$. We determine the rank index of $(\mathbb{P}^n , \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n} (d))$ for all $n \geq 2$, $d \geq 3$, proving that it equals $3$ in these cases. Our approach adapts the inductive framework of [HLMP 2021], re-proving key lemmas for characteristic $3$ to establish quadratic generation by rank $3$ forms. We further compute the codimension of the span of rank $3$ quadr…

Bias correction for Chatterjee's graph-based correlation coefficient
Azadkia and Chatterjee (2021) recently introduced a simple nearest neighbor (NN) graph-based correlation coefficient that consistently detects both independence and functional dependence. Specifically, it approximates a measure of dependence that equals 0 if and only if the variables are independent, and 1 if and only if they are functionally dependent. However, this NN estimator includes a bias term that may vanish at a rate slower than root-$n$, preventing root-$n$ consistency in general. In …

Who Gets Seen in the Age of AI? Adoption Patterns of Large Language Models in Scholarly Writing and Citation Outcomes
The rapid adoption of generative AI tools is reshaping how scholars produce and communicate knowledge, raising questions about who benefits and who is left behind. We analyze over 230,000 Scopus-indexed computer science articles between 2021 and 2025 to examine how AI-assisted writing alters scholarly visibility across regions. Using zero-shot detection of AI-likeness, we track stylistic changes in writing and link them to citation counts, journal placement, and global citation flows before and…

BTW - that CBC article used a lot of numbers from this report, which because it's all numbers is awesome. Some tidbits:
- The number of farms over 3,500 acres has nearly doubled in 20 years.
- 41.3% of Canadian farmland is rented.
- From 1971 to 2021, the farm population declined by 62.2%, from 1 in 14 Canadians to 1 in 61.
- Farm debt has more than doubled in the last 20 years, from $43B in 2002 to $138.8B in 2022. That is currently 10x the size of net farm income.
- In 2021, 96,043 tonnes of pesticides were sold for agricultural use – more than three times the amount sold in 1991.

On the spectral theory in the Fock space with polynomial eigenfunctions
The notion of the eigenvalue problem in the Fock space with polynomial eigenfunctions is introduced. This problem is classified by using the finite-dimensional representations of the $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$-algebra in Fock space. In the complex representation of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg algebra, proposed by Turbiner-Vasilevski (2021) in Ref.7, this construction is reduced to the linear differential operators in $(\frac{\partial}{\partial \overline{z}}\,,\,\frac{\partial}{\partial z})$ acting on …

Ammonia, Methane, Hydrogen and Methanol Produced in Remote Renewable Energy Hubs: a Comparative Quantitative Analysis
Remote renewable energy hubs (RREHs) for synthetic fuel production are engineering systems harvesting renewable energy where it is particularly abundant. They produce transportable synthetic fuels for export to distant load centers. This article aims to evaluate the production costs of different energy carriers, and includes a discussion on advantages and disadvantages in terms of technical performance. To do so, we extend the study of Berger et al., (2021) which focuses on methane (CH4) as ene…

To buy or not to buy: deterministic rent-or-buy problems on node-weighted graphs
We study the rent-or-buy variant of the online Steiner forest problem on node- and edge-weighted graphs. For $n$-node graphs with at most $\bar{n}$ non-zero node-weights, and at most $\tilde{k}$ different arriving terminal pairs, we obtain a deterministic, $O(\log n \log \bar{n})$-competitive algorithm. This improves on the previous best, $O(\log^4 n)$-competitive algorithm obtained by the black-box reduction from (Bartal et al. 2021) combined with the previously best deterministic algorithms f…

APCs and citation impact of Gold OA articles authored by Ukrainian scholars before and during Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine (2020-2023)
This study examines how Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine affected APCs, publishing patterns, and citation impact of Gold OA articles authored by Ukrainian scholars between 2020 and 2023. Data from Scopus covers articles published before (2020-2021) and after (2022-2023) the war's onset. Statistical analysis revealed a small but significant correlation between APC amounts and citation impact, though the effect size was minimal, suggesting higher APCs did not substantially boost citations.…
