Daten zu Anträgen auf #Agrardiesel Rückvergütung zeigen, dass 2021 und 2022 nur etwa die Hälfte der #Betriebe die Entlastung nutzte.
Gründe reichen von geringem #Dieselverbrauch

Agrardiesel: Nur jeder zweite Betrieb beantragte Rückvergütung
Vor zwei Jahren protestierten Tausende Landwirte wochenlang gegen die geplante Streichung der Agrardieselrückvergütung. Exklusive Zahlen aus Jahren zuvor zeigen nun: Fast die Hälfte der Betriebe beantragte die Steuerentlastung gar nicht.

Angesichts der Lage im Gazastreifen wurde auch hierzulande protestiert – und in dem Zusammenhang wieder heftig über Antisemitismus diskutiert. Dabei lohnt es sich, genauer hinzusehen.

The idea for the program started back in 2021,
as severe drought conditions enveloped agricultural powerhouse states across the country.
The $400 million, according to Montaño Greene, was set to be distributed through the Commodity Credit Corporation,

Did the USDA just forget about $400M in drought aid for farmers?
More than a year later, not a dollar has been spent — and no one knows what happened to the money.

Sony just killed Bluepoint games, a studio that worked marvelously. Stupid industry.

Does Order Matter : Connecting The Law of Robustness to Robust Generalization
Himadri Mandal, Vishnu Varadarajan, Jaee Ponde, Aritra Das, Mihir More, Debayan Gupta
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.20971 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.20971 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.20971
arXiv:2602.20971v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Bubeck and Sellke (2021) pose as an open problem the connection between the law of robustness and robust generalization. The law of robustness states that overparameterization is necessary for models to interpolate robustly; in particular, robust interpolation requires the learned function to be Lipschitz. Robust generalization asks whether small robust training loss implies small robust test loss. We resolve this problem by explicitly connecting the two for arbitrary data distributions. Specifically, we introduce a nontrivial notion of robust generalization error and convert it into a lower bound on the expected Rademacher complexity of the induced robust loss class. Our bounds recover the $\Omega(n^{1/d})$ regime of Wu et al.\ (2023) and show that, up to constants, robust generalization does not change the order of the Lipschitz constant required for smooth interpolation. We conduct experiments to probe the predicted scaling with dataset size and model capacity, testing whether empirical behavior aligns more closely with the predictions of Bubeck and Sellke (2021) or Wu et al.\ (2023). For MNIST, we find that the lower-bound Lipschitz constant scales on the order predicted by Wu et al.\ (2023). Informally, to obtain low robust generalization error, the Lipschitz constant must lie in a range that we bound, and the allowable perturbation radius is linked to the Lipschitz scale.
