In 2022 Larry Ellison gave Elon Musk $1 billion to help fund his purchase of Twitter (now X).
And last year Skydance Media merged with Paramount creating a conglomerate with almost unmatched reach.
While Larry’s son David runs Paramount on paper, it’s the father who actually owns the company.
This means that Larry Ellison owns a controlling stake in a broadcast network (CBS),
a major streaming platform (Paramount ),
multiple movie studios,
CBS News,

Larry Ellison’s quest to run the world
TikTok is the latest prize in the Silicon Valley billionaire’s second act as a media mogul.

Pushing Blocks without Fixed Blocks via Checkable Gizmos: Push-1 is PSPACE-Complete
We prove PSPACE-completeness of Push-1: given a rectangular grid of 1 x 1 cells, each possibly occupied by a movable block, can a robot move from a specified location to another, given the ability to push up to one block at a time? In particular, we remove the need for fixed (unmovable) blocks in a previous result (FUN 2022), which seems to require a completely different reduction. This fundamental model of block pushing, introduced in 1999, abstracts the mechanics of many video games. It was s…

Symbolic dynamics, shadowing and representation of real numbers with some countably piecewise linear Markov maps
We study piecewise linear Markov maps, with countable Markov partitions, inspired by a problem of the Miklós Schweitzer competition of the János Bolyai Mathematical Society in 2022. We introduce $\ell$-Markov partitions and apply ideas of symbolic dynamics to our systems, relating them to Markov shifts. We prove the shadowing property for the system from the competition. We also investigate the possible orbits of rational numbers, for a class of piecewise linear Markov maps which generalize o…

Zonal winds in Titan's middle atmosphere from a stellar occultation observed with Keck adaptive optics
We present spatially resolved Keck/NIRC2 images of a stellar occultation by Titan on September 5, 2022 and compare them to predictions from concurrent ALMA observations and a suite of General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations. ALMA data and GCM simulations can predict middle atmosphere zonal wind distributions, which in turn produce diagnostic occultation image sequences. We construct an occultation forward model using the temperature profile measured by the Huygens Atmospheric Structure Inst…

Large Language Models Discriminate Against Speakers of German Dialects
Dialects represent a significant component of human culture and are found across all regions of the world. In Germany, more than 40% of the population speaks a regional dialect (Adler and Hansen, 2022). However, despite cultural importance, individuals speaking dialects often face negative societal stereotypes. We examine whether such stereotypes are mirrored by large language models (LLMs). We draw on the sociolinguistic literature on dialect perception to analyze traits commonly associated wi…

The hot-electron closure of the moment-based gyrokinetic plasma model
We derive the hot-electron limit (HEL) closure of the moment hierarchy used to solve the gyrokinetic equations, denoted as gyromoment (GM). By expanding gyroaveraging kernels in the small temperature ratio Ti/Te limit and retaining only essential O(Ti/Te) terms, we obtain a closed system for density, parallel velocity, and parallel and perpendicular temperatures. In the Z-pinch geometry, the GM system with HEL closure is analytically equivalent to the one developed by Ivanov et al. (2022). Nume…

The Role of Follow Networks and Twitter's Content Recommender on Partisan Skew and Rumor Exposure during the 2022 U.S. Midterm Election
Social media platforms shape users' experiences through the algorithmic systems they deploy. In this study, we examine to what extent Twitter's content recommender, in conjunction with a user's social network, impacts the topic, political skew, and reliability of information served on the platform during a high-stakes election. We utilize automated accounts to document Twitter's algorithmically curated and reverse chronological timelines throughout the U.S. 2022 midterm election. We find that t…

An elementary construction of the ring of dual $K$-$Q$-cancellation property
This paper presents an elementary introduction on $K$-theoretic $Q$-functions, which were introduced by Ikeda and Naruse in 2013. These functions, which serve as $K$-theoretic analogs of Schur $Q$-functions, are known to possess combinatorial and algebraic constructions. In a 2022 paper, the author introduced ``$β$-deformed power-sums" to provide a simpler, more algebraic construction of these functions. Since the original approach relies on fermionic operators and vacuum expectation values, t…

An adaptive procedure for detecting replicated signals with $k$-family-wise error rate control
Partial conjunction (PC) hypothesis testing is widely used to assess the replicability of scientific findings across multiple comparable studies. In high-throughput meta-analyses, testing a large number of PC hypotheses with k-family-wise error rate (k-FWER) control often suffers from low statistical power due to the multiplicity burden. The state-of-the-art AdaFilter-Bon procedure by Wang et al. (2022, Ann. Stat., 50(4), 1890-1909) alleviates this problem by filtering out hypotheses unlikely t…

If you're a follower of #Pastafarianism then you understand. Yes, it's #TalkLikeAPirate Day, which makes it a great opportunity to post about those scoundrels who sailed the eastern coast of Canada during the 17th and 18th centuries. One of the best-known pirates to make his mark on Canada was Peter Easton. In 1612, Easton embarked on a series of raids on European fishing fleets in coastal harbours in Newfoundland and Labrador. He turned Harbour Grace into his headquarters and destroyed a Basque fleet that was intent on capturing his fort there. Part of his myth involved capturing an Irish princess who later married one of his lieutenant and settled in Newfoundland. Easton was the rare pirate who retired in France with his wealth. He was succeeded in Canadian waters by Black Bart who captured more than 400 ships over 2 year period, but who met a bloody end when he was put out of business by the British navy.

Got my water/utility bill for the spring/summer yesterday. (we get billed 3 times a year as part of our general city utilities bill including water, sewer and garbage/recycling fees).
Figured it would be a big water year this year so I've been wanting to see this. And of course, I have data going back to 2019ish.
Today's bill only goes to August 1st, so it doesn't include when we started to fill the #pondpool!
This was already a dry year in the spring and we were doing lots of watering in the front yard for the new ground cover in the modified driveway and the 3 new fruit trees.
Verdict:
2024: Apr 12 - Aug 7: 122, 200L
2025 Apr 14 - Aug 1 (7 less days!): 136,600L
It will be interesting to see if the August pond filling will add a big chunk onto our summer/fall consumption or if that is offset by both the brief August water restrictions, and the departure of both kids this fall to consume other people's water. ;=)
If you want an indication of how much water people use vs. yards: look at our August 2022 bill, which captures when we were on our cross-Canada roadtrip for 30 days in July/August of the 100 day period.

Generalizations of Ferber-Krivelevich and Gallai Theorems on parity of degrees in induced subgraphs
A long-standing and well-known conjecture (see e.g. Caro, Discrete Math, 1994) states that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ without isolated vertices contains an induced subgraph where all vertices have an odd degree and whose order is linear in $n$. Ferber and Krivelevich (Adv. Math., 2022) confirmed the conjecture. In this short paper, we generalize this result by considering $G$ with vertices labeled 0 or 1 and requiring that in an induced subgraph of $G$, the 0-labeled vertices are of even degree…
