Ukraine is the victim of a lawless, brutal, unprovoked invasion by a politically backward and dysfunctional would-be empire ruled by a murderous autocrat.
That assessment was obvious on Feb. 24, 2022 when the full-scale invasion was launched,
and it was obvious in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea.
The challenge of writing about the war is that once you’ve said that,
saying it again just feels repetitive.
This is a bigger problem than one columnist’s selfish de…

Column: The war in Ukraine is becoming very inconvenient for Trump
It is utterly dishonorable to watch the president excoriate and victim-blame Ukrainians on a geopolitical scale.

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 18 nodes and 113 edges.

VBR: Version Based Reclamation
Safe lock-free memory reclamation is a difficult problem. Existing solutions follow three basic methods (or their combinations): epoch based reclamation, hazard pointers, and optimistic reclamation. Epoch-based methods are fast, but do not guarantee lock-freedom. Hazard pointer solutions are lock-free but typically do not provide high performance. Optimistic methods are lock-free and fast, but previous optimistic methods did not go all the way. While reads were executed optimistically, writes w…

The U.S. Supreme Court again rejected Missouri congressional maps backed by President Donald Trump on Thursday,
a loss for Republicans trying to maintain control of the House in the pivotal midterm elections.
The decision appears to clear the way for the state to use a map passed in 2022, as the state's highest court ordered.
It's part of a pitched legal battle that has created confusion for voters and others shortly before ballots begin going out for the November el…

Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020).

in 2022 I designed and built a 1:76th scale model of a shepherds hut that I had seen mentioned in a news story, found pictures of it on an auction site, drew it up as a buildable kit and cut it out with my laser. Having built it I then lost the files (my fault).
Today I re-found the pictures online and drew up the kit again, hopefully slightly improved. Here is the original model alongside the new kit of parts.
No AI was used in this process at all.

Organizational Technology Ladders: Remote Work and Generative AI Adoption
Gregor Schubert
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.11626 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.11626 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.11626
arXiv:2608.11626v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This study proposes that firms move along an "organizational technology ladder": adopting one technology transforms hiring and work processes and builds skills and organizational capital that change the cost of adopting subsequent technologies. I study how firms' adoption of remote work technology during the COVID-19 period shaped later uptake of generative AI. Using U.S. job-posting data and an instrumental-variables strategy based on predicted differences in labor-market pressure to offer remote work, I estimate that a 10 percentage point increase in remote hiring in 2021-2022 increases the share of job postings mentioning generative AI in 2023-2024 by 0.4 percentage points across firms and 0.7 percentage points across occupations within firms. I provide evidence on mechanisms consistent with a technology-ladder channel: remote work adoption shifts hiring toward technical and managerial capabilities that predict faster conversion of generative AI exposure into adoption. Firms with return-to-office mandates---interpreted as revealing low remote productivity---exhibit a substantially larger response of generative AI adoption to remote work, consistent with an organizational frictions channel.
