»Wie die Politologin Virginia Eubanks in ihrem Buch ›Automating Inequality‹ zeigt, werden KI-Systeme, wenn sie im Rahmen des Sozialstaats eingesetzt werden, in erster Linie dazu verwendet, den Zugang von Menschen zu öffentlichen Ressourcen zu kontrollieren, zu bewerten und zu reglementieren, und nicht etwa dazu, ihnen bessere Unterstützung zukommen zu lassen.«

Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin’s Third District
wants you to think he is a tough guy.
He wears his Navy SEAL Trident like a shield, using his past service to deflect from the fact that he is a traitor to this country and tried to overthrow a democratically elected government on January 6th, 2021.
Derrick Van Orden is not a tough guy. He is a thug. And his race should be the number one target in Wisconsin.
Over the next year, we must strip away the costume and sh…

I love Deerhoof’s Actually, You Can not just as a great, fun album but as a time capsule from an optimistic moment. In late 2021, we seemed to be emerging from the shadows of Trump and Covid-19—who’d have thought the Four Seasons presser and the vaccines, respectively, didn't end them? The music bottles up joyful, radical imaginings of a better world that were in the air since the George Floyd rebellion, not yet extinguished by the reactionary “crime” panic to come.

I never posted another "garage door fix" post after this one because we ended up getting a new garage door opener when the old one started failing even more and was beyond repair and also my partner was fed up with my hacks.

'Google for DNA' enables rapid full-text searches of vast genetic archives
Rare hereditary diseases can be identified in patients and specific mutations in tumor cells detected—DNA sequencing revolutionized biomedical research decades ago. In recent years, new sequencing methods (next-generation sequencing) in particular have resulted in numerous scientific breakthroughs. In 2020/2021, for example, they enabled the rapid decoding and global monitoring of the SARS-CoV-2 genome.

The moduli spaces of left-invariant statistical structures on Lie groups
In the context of information geometry, the concept known as left-invariant statistical structure on Lie groups is defined by Furuhata--Inoguchi--Kobayashi [Inf. Geom. (2021)]. In this paper, we introduce the notion of the moduli space of left-invariant statistical structures on a Lie group. We study the moduli spaces for three particular Lie groups, each of which has a moduli space of left-invariant Riemannian metrics that is a singleton. As applications, we classify left-invariant conjugate s…

Ergodic Properties of Quantum Markov Semigroups

Ergodic Properties of Quantum Markov Semigroups
In this paper, we study the ergodic theorem for infinite-dimensional quantum Markov semigroups, originally introduced by Frigerio and Verri in 1982, and its latest version developed by Carbone and Girotti in 2021. We provide a sufficient condition that ensures exponential convergence towards the positive recurrent subspace, a well-known result for irreducible quantum Markov semigroups in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Several illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the applicatio…
