Alexandrov estimates for polynomial operators by determinant majorization
We obtain estimates on the supremum, infimum and oscillation of solutions for a wide class of inhomogeneous fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Euclidean domains where the differential operator is an I-central Garding-Dirichlet operator in the sense of Harvey-Lawson (2024). The argument combines two recent results: an Alexandrov estimate of Payne-Redaelli (2025) for locally semiconvex functions based on the area formula and a determinant majorization estimate of Harvey-Lawson (2024). The de…

Funding cuts may make public radio more reliant on old, rich, white donors
After years of interviews, research, and writing, Laura Garbes submitted the final draft of her book on public radio in December 2024. By the time Listeners Like Who? Exclusion and Resistance in the Public Radio Industry published last month, a lot had changed. Following Trump’s election and fede…

Most Cambodia & Laos tree cover loss in 2024 happened inside protected areas
More than half of Cambodia and Laos’ tree cover loss in 2024 was recorded inside protected areas, Mongabay’s Gerald Flynn reports. The findings were a result of Mongabay’s analysis of satellite data published by the Global Land Analysis and Discovery laboratory at the University of Maryland, in partnership with Global Forest Watch. In Cambodia, 56% of the nation’s […]

Out-of-bag prediction balls for random forests in metric spaces
Statistical methods for metric spaces provide a general and versatile framework for analyzing complex data types. We introduce a novel approach for constructing confidence regions around new predictions from any bagged regression algorithm with metric-space-valued responses. This includes the recent extensions of random forests for metric responses: Fréchet random forests (Capitaine et al., 2024), random forest weighted local constant Fréchet regression (Qiu et al., 2024), and metric random f…

"Typical deployment of a Python Docker container"

Here’s a good analysis by Gartner and The Next Platform that tries to make sense of spending on AI predictions over the next few years. “if you add devices to datacenter stuff, then AI drove 19.6 percent of IT revenues in 2024 and will drive 27.2 percent of IT revenues in 2025 and 34.1 percent in 2026.” h…

Improved $\ell_{p}$ Regression via Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares
We introduce fast algorithms for solving $\ell_{p}$ regression problems using the iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) method. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art iteration complexity, outperforming the IRLS algorithm by Adil-Peng-Sachdeva (NeurIPS 2019) and matching the theoretical bounds established by the complex algorithm of Adil-Kyng-Peng-Sachdeva (SODA 2019, J. ACM 2024) via a simpler lightweight iterative scheme. This bridges the existing gap between theoretical and practical a…

AfD-Boykott zu den Landtagswahlen 2026 in BW und Rheinland-Pfalz Keine Wahlpodien mit der AfD
In Belgien weigerten sich im Europawahlkampf 2024 die etablierten politischen Parteien im Rahmen des „Cordon sanitaire“, einer echten Brandmauer, mit der extremen Rechten zusammenzuarbeiten. Festzuhalten ist ein geringer Wahlerfolg der rechten Parteien in Belgien (vgl. (3) und (4)). Die Autoren der europäischen Cambridge-Studie von 2022 finden keine Hinweise dafür, dass Anpassungsstrategien die Unterstützung der radikalen Rechten verringern. Wenn überhaupt, deuten die Ergebnisse darauf …

CL-UZH submission to the NIST SRE 2024 Speaker Recognition Evaluation
The CL-UZH team submitted one system each for the fixed and open conditions of the NIST SRE 2024 challenge. For the closed-set condition, results for the audio-only trials were achieved using the X-vector system developed with Kaldi. For the audio-visual results we used only models developed for the visual modality. Two sets of results were submitted for the open-set and closed-set conditions, one based on a pretrained model using the VoxBlink2 and VoxCeleb2 datasets. An Xvector-based model was…

Austria deploys 1 GW of PV in January-September period
Austria added 1,036 MW of new solar capacity between January and September 2025, down from 1,419 MW over the same period in 2024, as political uncertainty, delayed legislation, and weakening residential demand strain the solar sector.

"Let it be Chaos in the Plumbing!" Usage and Efficacy of Chaos Engineering in DevOps Pipelines
Chaos Engineering (CE) has emerged as a proactive method to improve the resilience of modern distributed systems, particularly within DevOps environments. Originally pioneered by Netflix, CE simulates real-world failures to expose weaknesses before they impact production. In this paper, we present a systematic gray literature review that investigates how industry practitioners have adopted and adapted CE principles over recent years. Analyzing 50 sources published between 2019 and early 2024, w…
