Amazon says it will cut ~14,000 jobs across its corporate workforce, after cutting 27,000 from 2022 to 2023; the company employed 1.55M people globally in June (Spencer Soper/Bloomberg)

Its clear that Trump is effectively if not literally a Russian agent hell bent on destroying the USA...
"As president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO Chrissy Lynch said in July after the Republicans passed the budget reconciliation bill cutting clean energy tax credits: “Working families shouldn’t have to purchase energy from billionaire oil tycoons and foreign governments or let them set the price of our energy bills.”
Her observation hit home earlier this week, when Joe Wallace, Costas Paris, Alex Leary, and Collin Eaton of the Wall Street Journal reported that the comments of Russian president Vladimir Putin and Trump at their meeting in Alaska on August 15 in which they talked about doing more business together were not vague goodwill. ExxonMobil and Russia’s biggest energy company, Rosneft, have been in secret talks to resume a partnership to extract Russian oil, including in the Arctic, that had been severed by Russia’s attack on Ukraine in 2022."

Mastodon is showing me a "who to follow" widget and I checked out two profiles and they are people who haven't posted in a year or more. (One since 2022!)
Maybe this feature needs a tweak.

I don't actually think there's an obligation (in the UK) for ISPs or AI companies to block content from sanctioned entities.
ISPs have an obligation to block "an internet service provided by a designated person" and a "person who provides a social media service" must take "reasonable steps to prevent content...". But AI services aren't ordinarily social media services.

Probing the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 using the evolution of its spectral and aperiodic timing properties
Understanding accretion components in neutron star (NS) low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) systems is important to probe fundamental aspects of accretion mechanism and evolution of the system constraining its physical properties. Here, we present spectral and aperiodic timing analyses of the NICER and AstroSat data from the accretion powered millisecond X-ray pulsar (AMXP) SAX J1808.4-3658 during its 2022 outburst. We find that emissions from a softer accretion disk and a harder, centrally located, c…

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.

Private and public school efficiency gaps in Latin America-A combined DEA and machine learning approach based on PISA 2022
Latin America's education systems are fragmented and segregated, with substantial differences by school type. The concept of school efficiency (the ability of school to produce the maximum level of outputs given available resources) is policy relevant due to scarcity of resources in the region. Knowing whether private and public schools are making an efficient use of resources -and which are the leading drivers of efficiency- is critical, even more so after the learning crisis brought by the CO…

Bayesian Re-Analysis of the Phylogenetic Topology of Early SARS-CoV-2 Case Sequences

Bayesian Re-Analysis of the Phylogenetic Topology of Early SARS-CoV-2 Case Sequences
A much-cited 2022 paper by Pekar et al. claimed that Bayesian analysis of the molecular phylogeny of early SARS-CoV-2 cases indicated that it was more likely that two successful introductions to humans had occurred than that just one had. Here I show that after correcting a fundamental error in Bayesian reasoning the results in that paper give larger likelihood for a single introduction than for two.
