Techtonic shift: GCCs hiring 4x faster than IT cos now
GCCs are expanding headcount by 18-27% year on year, compared with 4-6% for IT services, according to data from staffing firm TeamLease Digital. Together, they employ nearly 2 million people now, up from 1.2 million in 2022, creating about 300,000 jobs annually. In contrast, IT services have added only 25,000-40,000 employees a year on a net basis during this period.

Men (2022)
In the aftermath of a personal tragedy, Harper retreats alone to the beautiful English countryside, hoping to find a place to heal. But someone — or something — from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her, and what begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears.

Evolution of wartime discourse on Telegram: A comparative study of Ukrainian and Russian policymakers' communication before and after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine
This study examines elite-driven political communication on Telegram during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, the first large-scale European war in the social media era. Using a unique dataset of Telegram public posts from Ukrainian and Russian policymakers (2019-2024), we analyze changes in communication volume, thematic content, and actor engagement following Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion. Our findings show a sharp increase in Telegram activity after the invasion, particularly among ruling…

Improved Clifford operations in constant commutative depth
The commutative depth model allows gates that commute with each other to be performed in parallel. We show how to compute Clifford operations in constant commutative depth more efficiently than was previously known. Bravyi, Maslov, and Nam [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129:230501, 2022] showed that every element of the Clifford group (on $n$ qubits) can be computed in commutative depth 23 and size $O(n^2)$. We show that the Prefix Sum problem can be computed in commutative depth 16 and size $O(n \log n)$, …

Transformer-based models have been proposed to handle both short- and long-term dependencies when predicting future values from historical data. However, studies such as those by Zeng et al.

Provability Models
In this paper, we study a new Kripke-style semantics for classical modal logic, named as provability models. We study provability models for the propositional modal logics K, K4, S4 GL, GLP and the interpretability logic ILM. Provability models combine features of Kripke models with the assignment of logics to individual worlds. Originally introduced in [Mojtahedi, 2022], these models allowed the first author to establish arithmetical completeness for intuitionistic provability logic. Interesti…

We use continuous wavelet tools to characterize the dynamics of climate change across time and frequencies. This approach allows us to capture the changing patterns in the relationship between global mean temperature anomalies and climate forcings. Using historical data from 1850 to 2022, we find that greenhouse gases, and CO$_2$ in particular, play a significant role in driving the very low frequency trending behaviour in temperatures, even after controlling for the effects of natural forcings…

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 10 nodes and 40 edges.

The Role of Informal Care in Cognitive Outcome and Healthcare Utilization Among Older Adults with Dementia
This paper examines the relationship between informal caregiving and both cognitive functioning and healthcare utilization among older adults with dementia. Using data from the RAND version of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally representative longitudinal panel of U.S. adults over age 50, covering the years 2010 to 2022, I estimate Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Instrumental Variables (IV) models to address potential endogeneity in caregiving decisions. The number of children…

Tiny fee on Minneapolis carbon pollution won't do much for the climate, warns expert
When Minneapolis City Council Member Robin Wonsley began pursuing a carbon fee in 2022, she saw it as a promising way to cut the city's greenhouse gas emissions and raise revenue for climate-related projects.

Am 29. April 2022 habe ich mich erstmals im Fediverse registriert (auf mas.to).
Ein Jahr später bin ich dann hierher auf tyrol.social umgezogen.
3,5 Jahre also jetzt, dass ich von (damals noch) Twitter weg bin.
Eine gute Entscheidung!
