Analysis | The Civilian Climate Corps was dropped from the climate bill. Now what?
The federally funded initiative was hugely popular and aimed at hiring tens of thousands of young people to pursue climate-friendly projects.

There was a large, global surge in prices in 2021 and 2022 as the economy restarted following the COVID-19 pandemic.
That inflation surge left Joe Biden, like leaders in almost every major democracy, deeply unpopular. Biden, like his global peers, has yet to recover.
Is it possible that Biden’s standing can recover as the economy returns to health and the inflation surge recedes further into the past?
Sure.

Nur weil gerade alle wieder über Autos reden, möchte ich mal wieder auf einen Blog-Post von mir hinweisen, der inzwischen auch schon fast zwei Jahre alt ist.
Damals habe ich gezeigt, dass allein schon die Herstellung eines großen SUVs das Restbudget an CO2 aufbraucht, das jeder persönlich hat.
Die aktuellen Zahlen habe ich nicht. Müsste man noch mal neu ausrechnen. Es ist aber klar, dass wir in den letzten Jahr weiter CO2 ausgestoßen haben, so dass wir sehr nah an der Grenze sind. Die Produktion neuer Autos ist also keine Option. Also es ist schon eine. Leider. Aber es ist die falsche.

Online Misogyny Against Female Candidates in the 2022 Brazilian Elections: A Threat to Women's Political Representation?
Technology-facilitated gender-based violence has become a global threat to women's political representation and democracy. Understanding how online hate affects its targets is thus paramount. We analyse 10 million tweets directed at female candidates in the Brazilian election in 2022 and examine their reactions to online misogyny. Using a self-trained machine learning classifier to detect Portuguese misogynistic tweets and a quantitative analysis of the candidates' tweeting behaviour, we invest…

The world can no longer afford two things:
🔸the costs of economic inequality;
🔸and the rich.
Between 2020 and 2022, the world’s most affluent 1% of people captured nearly twice as much of the new global wealth created as did the other 99% of individuals put together
And in 2019 they emitted as much #carbon #dioxide

Why the world cannot afford the rich
Equality is essential for sustainability. The science is clear — people in more-equal societies are more trusting and more likely to protect the environment than are those in unequal, consumer-driven ones.

Homogeneous Second-Order Descent Framework: A Fast Alternative to Newton-Type Methods
This paper proposes a homogeneous second-order descent framework (HSODF) for nonconvex and convex optimization based on the generalized homogeneous model (GHM). In comparison to the Newton steps, the GHM can be solved by extremal symmetric eigenvalue procedures and thus grant an advantage in ill-conditioned problems. Moreover, GHM extends the ordinary homogeneous model (OHM) (Zhang et al. 2022) to allow adaptiveness in the construction of the aggregated matrix. Consequently, HSODF is able to re…

Hamiltonian Operator Inference has been introduced in [Sharma, H., Wang, Z., Kramer, B., Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 431, p.133122, 2022] to learn structure-preserving reduced-order models (ROMs) for Hamiltonian systems. This approach constructs a low-dimensional model using only data and knowledge of the Hamiltonian function. Such ROMs can keep the intrinsic structure of the system, allowing them to capture the physics described by the governing equations. In this work, we extend this appr…

Recent work by Moroianu et al.

While the inductive part of the construction is rather easy, it all relies on the fact that a certain 17-vertex base graph has the crossing number 13, which was originally verified…
