Techtonic shift: GCCs hiring 4x faster than IT cos now
GCCs are expanding headcount by 18-27% year on year, compared with 4-6% for IT services, according to data from staffing firm TeamLease Digital. Together, they employ nearly 2 million people now, up from 1.2 million in 2022, creating about 300,000 jobs annually. In contrast, IT services have added only 25,000-40,000 employees a year on a net basis during this period.

dom: Animal dominance archive (2022)
Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
This network has 10 nodes and 40 edges.

I'm curious - what San Francisco media has covered this? Admittedly something I have not been looking for. But a quick search doesn't find many news articles - but it appears to be a nationwide problem. Sure, FDA has published their alert (2022) but that's not a great tool to reach people who need to know about risks.
The FDA has warned against this ‘natural remedy’ for joint pain. San Francisco immigrants still trust it

Improved Clifford operations in constant commutative depth
The commutative depth model allows gates that commute with each other to be performed in parallel. We show how to compute Clifford operations in constant commutative depth more efficiently than was previously known. Bravyi, Maslov, and Nam [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129:230501, 2022] showed that every element of the Clifford group (on $n$ qubits) can be computed in commutative depth 23 and size $O(n^2)$. We show that the Prefix Sum problem can be computed in commutative depth 16 and size $O(n \log n)$, …

Just fixed an issue where our calendaring server was having issues, which I tracked down to a bunch of old events in the timezone "Europe/Kiev" which now doesn't exist.

Fermionic influence superoperator for transport through Majorana zero modes
In recent years, the study of Majorana signatures in quantum transport has become a central focus in condensed matter physics. Here, we present a rigorous and systematic derivation of the fermionic superoperator describing the open quantum dynamics of electron transport through Majorana zero modes, building on the techniques introduced in Phys. Rev. B 105, 035121 (2022). The numerical implementation of this superoperator is to construct its differential equivalence, the hierarchical equations o…

AfD-Boykott zu den Landtagswahlen 2026 in BW und Rheinland-Pfalz Keine Wahlpodien mit der AfD
In Belgien weigerten sich im Europawahlkampf 2024 die etablierten politischen Parteien im Rahmen des „Cordon sanitaire“, einer echten Brandmauer, mit der extremen Rechten zusammenzuarbeiten. Festzuhalten ist ein geringer Wahlerfolg der rechten Parteien in Belgien (vgl. (3) und (4)). Die Autoren der europäischen Cambridge-Studie von 2022 finden keine Hinweise dafür, dass Anpassungsstrategien die Unterstützung der radikalen Rechten verringern. Wenn überhaupt, deuten die Ergebnisse darauf …
