For those interested in learning more about the Galleanisti, it's worth digging in to understand the context, IMHO. Like I said, I think that insurrectionary anarchism is generally a pretty bad strategy. I have quite a few critiques, that I won't go into now. But I also think it's worth understanding that part of history and how it all came together.

Mercor Fields $10 Billion-Valuation Offers in ‘Pre-emptive’ Onslaught
The frothiness of the artificial intelligence boom is starting to look like 1999…or 2021. Startups are again receiving unsolicited investment interest months or even weeks after announcing a fundraising, sometimes at prices that would more than double their valuation. The latest is Mercor, a ...

lifeXplore at the Lifelog Search Challenge 2021
Since its first iteration in 2018, the Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) continues to rise in popularity as an interactive lifelog data retrieval competition, co-located at the ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR). The goal of this annual live event is to search a large corpus of lifelogging data for specifically announced memories using a purposefully developed tool within a limited amount of time. As long-standing participants, we present our improved lifeXplore - a retrie…

Predicting Module-Lattice Reduction
Is module-lattice reduction better than unstructured lattice reduction? This question was highlighted as 'Q8' in the Kyber NIST standardization submission (Avanzi et al., 2021), as potentially affecting the concrete security of Kyber and other module-lattice-based schemes. Foundational works on module-lattice reduction (Lee, Pellet-Mary, Stehlé, and Wallet, ASIACRYPT 2019; Mukherjee and Stephens-Davidowitz, CRYPTO 2020) confirmed the existence of such module variants of LLL and block-reduction…

Efficient Polynomial Identity Testing Over Nonassociative Algebras
We design the first efficient polynomial identity testing algorithms over the nonassociative polynomial algebra. In particular, multiplication among the formal variables is commutative but it is not associative. This complements the strong lower bound results obtained over this algebra by Hrubeš, Yehudayoff, and Wigderson (2010) and Fijalkow, Lagarde, Ohlmann, and Serre (2021) from the identity testing perspective. Our main results are the following: (1) We construct nonassociative algebras …

Gas price shocks, uncertainty and price setting: evidences from Italian firms
This paper examines how natural gas price shocks affect Italian firms' pricing decisions and inflation expectations using quarterly survey data from the Bank of Italy's Survey on Inflation and Growth Expectations (SIGE) spanning 1999Q4-2025Q2. We identify natural gas price shocks through a Bayesian VAR with sign and zero restrictions. Our findings reveal that these shocks are a primary driver of firms' inflation expectations, particularly during the post-COVID period (2021-2023) when supply dis…

Description of CRESST-III lithium aluminate data
Two detector modules with lithium aluminate targets were operated in the CRESST underground setup between February and June 2021. The data collected in this period was used to set the currently strongest cross-section upper limits on the spin-dependent interaction of dark matter (DM) with protons and neutrons for the mass region between 0.25 and 1.5 GeV/c$^2$. The data are available online. In this document, we describe how the data set should be used to reproduce our dark matter results.
