Bill Esterson, Chair of HoC Energy Security and Net Zero Committee, calls Ofgem’s proposal to reduce record levels of consumer energy debt that have more than doubled since 2022 “completely inadequate”, saying the cost crisis demands “out of the box thinking” from Government and Ofgem to ensure that “parts of the sector that are making healthy profits become part of the solution to dealing with the high cost of energy”.

Ugh, my personal git server uses a pre-2022 version of sshd - and now, when I do anything, I get a warning that I'm not using post-quantum keys.
We should be moving to PQ methods, yes, but I don't think anyone will convince me that mass "store now, decrypt later" quantum attacks will ever really be a thing - the opportunity cost will always be too high.
This is a VPN-advert level of unnecessary caution.

Robust forecast aggregation via additional queries

Abstract: We study the problem of robust forecast aggregation: combining expert forecasts with provable accuracy guarantees compared to the best possible aggregation of the underlying information. Prior work shows strong impossibility results, e.g. that even under natural assumptions, no aggregation of the experts' individual forecasts can outperform simply following a random expert (Neyman and Roughgarden, 2022).
In this paper, we introduce a more general framework that allows the principal to elicit richer information from experts through structured queries. Our framework ensures that experts will truthfully report their underlying beliefs, and also enables us to define notions of complexity over the difficulty of asking these queries. Under a general model of independent but overlapping expert signals, we show that optimal aggregation is achievable in the worst case with each complexity measure bounded above by the number of agents $n$. We further establish tight tradeoffs between accuracy and query complexity: aggregation error decreases linearly with the number of queries, and vanishes when the "order of reasoning" and number of agents relevant to a query is $\omega(\sqrt{n})$. These results demonstrate that modest extensions to the space of expert queries dramatically strengthen the power of robust forecast aggregation. We therefore expect that our new query framework will open up a fruitful line of research in this area.
