Q&A with Grindr CEO George Arison on developing AI-powered features like Wingman and A-List, Grindr's new telehealth service Woodwork, his RTO mandate, and more (J. Edward Moreno/Sherwood News)

Grindr built a wildly successful dating app. Will its push into AI finally get Wall Street's attention?
George Arison, who joined Grindr in 2022, says the company is leaning hard into AI and building “a half dozen or so” other businesses that are tangential to Grindr.

Efficient Long-Time Simulations of Multiscale Systems via High-Order Numerical Homogenization
By a high-order numerical homogenization method, a heterogeneous multiscale scheme was developed in Jin & Li (2022) for evolving differential equations containing two time scales. In this paper, we further explore the technique to propose an efficient algorithm able to carry out simulations up to a long time which was prohibitive before. The new algorithm is a multigrid-in-time method which combines coarse-grid high-order approximations with fine-grid low-order evaluations. The high efficiency …

In 2022, Oregonians narrowly passed Measure 111,
⭐️amending their constitution and guaranteeing affordable health care as a fundamental right to every resident of the state.
Through years of organizing, coalition building and planning,
💥Oregon may enact its Universal Health Plan as early as fall 2027. 
In the face of extreme Medicaid cuts from the Trump administration
-- which will leave roughly 16 million people without health coverage by 2034
-- a state-l…

Could Oregon chart the course for universal health care in the US?
Oregon is on the verge of enacting a single-payer health care plan, but continued organizing is needed to secure this historic victory.

After IECharge, which has set up fast #EV charging stations at their solar battery locations (with the lowest price in the French market: €0.25/kWh), there's now another French network offering green electricity directly from the source (also very competitive at €0.30/kWh).

Machines in the Crowd? Measuring the Footprint of Machine-Generated Text on Reddit
Generative Artificial Intelligence is reshaping online communication by enabling large-scale production of Machine-Generated Text (MGT) at low cost. While its presence is rapidly growing across the Web, little is known about how MGT integrates into social media environments. In this paper, we present the first large-scale characterization of MGT on Reddit. Using a state-of-the-art statistical method for detection of MGT, we analyze over two years of activity (2022-2024) across 51 subreddits rep…

Australia to create a national park for 12,000 koalas
Few animals tug at Australian hearts like the koala. Yet the marsupial, once common along the eastern seaboard, was declared endangered in New South Wales (NSW) in 2022. Habitat loss, climate stress, and disease have driven populations down so far that a parliamentary inquiry warned they could vanish from the state before 2050. The proposed […]

Generalizations of Ferber-Krivelevich and Gallai Theorems on parity of degrees in induced subgraphs

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…

Remember back in 2022, when people all across the Fediverse lost their absolute minds at the idea of someone building a search index of public posts, and took down several reasonable attempts at it?
I wonder how many of those people are storming the offices of MS, OpenAI, Grok, etc. about all the copyright infringing hoovering they're doing.
Oh, none? Thought so. So much easier to beat up on the solo developer trying to be useful.

Mass threshold for global existence in chemotaxis systems with critical flux limitation
This paper investigates the flux-limited chemotaxis system, proposed by Kohatsu and Senba~(2025), \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u_t = Δu -\nabla\cdot(u|\nabla v|^{α-2}\nabla v),\\ \:\:0=Δv + u, \end{cases} \end{equation*} posed in the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^N$ for some $N\geq2$, subject to no-flux and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Due to precedents, e.g., Tello (2022) and Winkler (2022), the exponent $α= \frac{N}{N-1}$ is the threshold for finite-time blow-up …

One--Component Plasma Equation of State Revisited via Angular--Averaged Ewald Potential
We present analytic fits of classical one--component plasma (OCP) internal energy over a wide range of coupling parameter $0.01\leΓ\le 170$ using Monte--Carlo data in the thermodynamic limit. We extend the dataset obtained in [Demyanov and Levashov, Phys. Rev. E 106, 015204 (2022)] using the angular--averaged Ewald potential with additional points at strong coupling ($Γ=120,\ 150,\ 170$). We then fit two frequently used functional forms for the OCP equation of state: (i) a five-parameter equa…

Leveraging Minute-by-Minute Soccer Match Event Data to Adjust Team's Offensive Production for Game Context

Leveraging Minute-by-Minute Soccer Match Event Data to Adjust Team's Offensive Production for Game Context
In soccer, game context can result in skewing offensive statistics in ways that might misrepresent how well a team has played. For instance, in England's 1-2 loss to France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal, England attempted considerably more shots (16 to France's 8) and more corners (5 to 2), potentially suggesting they played better despite the loss. However, these statistics were largely accumulated when France was ahead and more willing to concede offensive initiative to England. To …
