Then, it demanded that those sellers lower their prices,
which lured in more customers.
With more customers, more sellers piled in.
Faster and faster, the flywheel spins, creating the "everything store":

1.Share of IPv4 traffic decreases in 2023-11, but has recently recovered.
2. IPv4 and IPv6 is roughly 50/50 in last year's (day-over-day) view. In a weekly (hour-over-hour) view, it is roughly 63/37 in IPv4's favor (pick any week in the past year).
Some differences may be explained by artifacts of how things are counted and measured I presume, but these are not small anomalies.

Separable algebras in multitensor C$^*$-categories are unitarizable
Recently, S. Carpi et al. (Comm. Math. Phys., 402:169-212, 2023) proved that every connected (i.e. haploid) Frobenius algebra in a tensor C$^*$-category is unitarizable (i.e. isomorphic to a special C$^*$-Frobenius algebra). Building on this result, we extend it to the non-connected case by showing that an algebra in a multitensor C$^*$-category is unitarizable if and only if it is separable.

Unconditional correctness of recent quantum algorithms for factoring and computing discrete logarithms

Unconditional correctness of recent quantum algorithms for factoring and computing discrete logarithms
In 1994, Shor introduced his famous quantum algorithm to factor integers and compute discrete logarithms in polynomial time. In 2023, Regev proposed a multi-dimensional version of Shor's algorithm that requires far fewer quantum gates. His algorithm relies on a number-theoretic conjecture on the elements in $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^{\times}$ that can be written as short products of very small prime numbers. We prove a version of this conjecture using tools from analytic number theory such as z…

We establish uniform moment bounds for steady-state queue lengths of generalized Jackson networks (GJNs) in multi-scale heavy traffic as recently proposed by Dai et al. [2023]. Uniform moment bounds lay the foundation for further analysis of the limit stationary distribution. Our result can be used to verify the crucial moment state space collapse (SSC) assumption in Dai et al. [2023] to establish a product-form limit of GJN in the multi-scale heavy traffic regime.

Ananth, Lin, and Yuen (2023) have shown that logarithmic pseudorandom states can be used to construct a pseudo-deterministic PRG: informally, for a fixed seed, the output is the same with $1-1/poly$ probability. In this work, we introduce new definitions for $\bot$-PRG and $\bot$-P…

Ducks C Jackson Powers-Johnson Goes 44th to Raiders
One of the most underrated aspects in all of football is the impact of a truly great center. Jason Kelce has been one of if not the best center of the past decade and the entire Eagles' O-Line benefitted from it. What made Kelce so great? It was his freakish speed, athleticism and incredible football IQ, all of which new Raiders' center Jackson-Powers Johnson has in spades. Regarded by many as the top center of the class, JPJ was a unanimous All-American in 2023, becoming the fifth Oregon playe…

Random Apollonian networks with tailored clustering coefficient
We introduce a family of complex networks that interpolates between the Apollonian network and its binary version, recently introduced in [Phys. Rev. E \textbf{107}, 024305 (2023)], via random removal of nodes. The dilution process allows the clustering coefficient to vary from $C=0.828$ to $C=0$ while maintaining the behavior of average path length and other relevant quantities as in the deterministic Apollonian network. Robustness against the random deletion of nodes is also reported on spect…

2/ Hat mir gerade jemand geschickt. Also #Philosophie scheint auch die Schnauze voll zu haben und sagt Tschüss. Sehr schön! #PoliticalPhilosphy #Wiley
„Die Open Library of Humanities hat jetzt Political Philosophy im Angebot. Political Philosophy ist ein großes Ding, jedenfalls in der theoretischen Politikwissenschaft. Es geht aus dem Wiley-Journal The Journal of Political Philosophy hervor, das aktuell kein Editorial Board hat.
Wiley hat den Editor in Chief, Robert Goodin, gefeuert, als dieser sich weigerte, mehr Artikel pro Jahr in dem Journal zu veröffentlichten. Daraufhin hat der Rest des Boards, ebenfalls sehr respektable Leute, hingeschmissen. [1] Du wirst Robert Goodin wahrscheinlich mögen, er hat u.a. ein Standardwerk zur politischen Theorie von Grüner Politik verfasst.
Wiley versucht offenbar, die Steuergelder abzuschöpfen, die in Gold-OA-Gebühren fließen. Diese Praxis kannte ich bisher nur von MDPI oder Frontiers. Die Preise bei Wiley für das Journal: $3840 oder 3190€. Ich glaube wir alle wissen, wie diese Preise zu bewerten sind ...“
