Tangent structures for divided power algebras
We build a tangent structure on the category of divided power algebras using a particular notion of semidirect product. We show that this tangent structure admits an adjoint tangent structure, which involves a version of Kähler differentials, and which is similar to the Zariski cotangent space for affine schemes. We study vector fields and differential bundles for these two structures, which correspond respectively to a notion of special derivation, and to the category of modules over the unde…

Seaweed farming as an eco-friendly alternative for Tanzanian fishing communities
Climate change, overfishing and habitat loss have caused a sharp decline in fish stocks around Pemba Island, off the coast of Tanzania. To find a new income from the sea, women from Pemba are turning to sustainable seaweed farming, Mongabay’s video team reported in May. Seaweed farming was introduced to the island in 1989. It […]

"My father used to say," said Oskar, "that there isn't anything real except thoughts. Nothing is there at all unless somebody's thinking it.
He said thoughts were more real than guns. He got shot by the Russians for saying that. But the thought wasn't shot, because I'm thinking it now."
[from The River at Green Knowe, by Lucy M Boston (1959)]

Police have little or no insight into where the federal enforcement actions are taking place
but often have to deal with the aftermath, including protests and questions from residents about what exactly happened.
In some cases, local cops have been mistaken for federal agents, eroding years of work to have immigrant communities trust the police

Deformations of the tangent bundle of a projective hypersurface
For a nonsingular hypersurface $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n, n \geq 4,$ of degree $d \geq 2$, we show that the space $H^1(X, \End(T_X))$ of infinitesimal deformations of the tangent bundle $T_X$ has dimension ${n+d-1 \choose d} (d-1)$ and all infinitesimal deformations are unobstructed even though $H^2(X, \End(T_X))$ can be nonzero. Furthermore, we prove that the irreducible component of the moduli space of stable bundles containing the tangent bundle is a rational variety, by constructing an explic…

Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab reportedly raising $2B would be the largest seed round ever, far surpassing Yuga Labs' $450M seed round in 2022 (Joanna Glasner/Crunchbase News)

Thinking Machines Lab’s $2B Seed Round Is Biggest By A Long Shot
The $2 billion Andreessen Horowitz-led financing that Thinking Machines reportedly just closed at a $10 billion valuation is by far the largest seed round in the Crunchbase dataset. We take a look at that, as well as the runner's up in seed funding.
