SCOOP: Thrive Netted 2.4x DPI from 2016 Fund. Here's Thrive's $10 Billion Pitch.
We've got an inside look at Josh Kushner's Thrive Capital's performance

Bizarrely warm end of the winter, here in the Netherlands: average temperature in the last part of February (21-28/29) was more than a full degree higher than the previous record set just five years ago:
10.5°C, that's warmer than the already warmed 1991-2020 average for April!
Peak was above 17°C.

Zum 2. Mal den Film 3 1/2 Stunden @… gesehen. Es geht um den Tag des Mauerbaus und einen Zug, der auf dem Weg in die DDR ist.
Der Plot ist gut und es gibt zahlreiche mikro-Plots, die alle noch viel besser erzählt sind.
Insgesamt ist der Film großartig, denn es stimmt alles. Tolle Schauspieler mit glaubhaften Rollen, die Tiefe haben. Wunderbare Bilder und Licht.

Unterwegs spricht sich die Nachricht von einem Mauerbau wie ein Lauffeuer herum. Die überzeugte Kommunistin Marlies (Susanne Bormann), Tochter eines hohen NVA-Offiziers (Uwe Kockisch), erkennt sofort, welche Auswirkungen dadurch auf ihre Ehe und die beiden Kinder (Kolja Rashed, Klara Metten) drohen.

The idea for the program started back in 2021,
as severe drought conditions enveloped agricultural powerhouse states across the country.

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.

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.

China expects up to 287 GW of new PV capacity additions in 2026
China’s PV industry expects 238 GW to 287 GW of domestic capacity additions in 2026 as it pivots away from volume-led growth after a loss-making year driven by overcapacity and sharp price declines. The shift follows rapid expansion in 2021-25 that lifted cumulative capacity above 1.2 TW, annual additions beyond 300 GW and exports over $180 billion.
