I visited Budapest in the spring of 2024. It is an •incredible• place, not just the awe-inducing history visible everywhere in built environment, but the present: the vibrant life, the artistry and skill everywhere, the rich and varied intersections of cultures, the spirit, the marvelous people I met through seemingly every door I entered.
Sending Hungarians love and strength from Minneapolis today. You are amazing. Your home and your society are worth fighting for.

the BC Greens have reached a turning point.
When we signed the Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord (CARGA) with the BC NDP in 2024, we did so with a clear goal: to use our leverage in the legislature to force action on some of the issues that matter most to you—housing, healthcare, climate, and the cost-of-living crisis.
Today, I am announcing that the BC Greens will not renew that agreement.

This is genuinely important and good news: as I expected, no British jury is going to convict #PalestineAction activists of non-violent protest.
Of course, this is why the UK government is trying to get rid of jury trials, but ...
Will the proscription of Palestine Action as a 'terrorist organisation'(!) also fall?

Incremental (k, z)-Clustering on Graphs
Emilio Cruciani, Sebastian Forster, Antonis Skarlatos
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.08542 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.08542 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.08542
arXiv:2602.08542v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Given a weighted undirected graph, a number of clusters $k$, and an exponent $z$, the goal in the $(k, z)$-clustering problem on graphs is to select $k$ vertices as centers that minimize the sum of the distances raised to the power $z$ of each vertex to its closest center. In the dynamic setting, the graph is subject to adversarial edge updates, and the goal is to maintain explicitly an exact $(k, z)$-clustering solution in the induced shortest-path metric.
While efficient dynamic $k$-center approximation algorithms on graphs exist [Cruciani et al. SODA 2024], to the best of our knowledge, no prior work provides similar results for the dynamic $(k,z)$-clustering problem. As the main result of this paper, we develop a randomized incremental $(k, z)$-clustering algorithm that maintains with high probability a constant-factor approximation in a graph undergoing edge insertions with a total update time of $\tilde O(k m^{1 o(1)} k^{1 \frac{1}{\lambda}} m)$, where $\lambda \geq 1$ is an arbitrary fixed constant. Our incremental algorithm consists of two stages. In the first stage, we maintain a constant-factor bicriteria approximate solution of size $\tilde{O}(k)$ with a total update time of $m^{1 o(1)}$ over all adversarial edge insertions. This first stage is an intricate adaptation of the bicriteria approximation algorithm by Mettu and Plaxton [Machine Learning 2004] to incremental graphs. One of our key technical results is that the radii in their algorithm can be assumed to be non-decreasing while the approximation ratio remains constant, a property that may be of independent interest.
In the second stage, we maintain a constant-factor approximate $(k,z)$-clustering solution on a dynamic weighted instance induced by the bicriteria approximate solution. For this subproblem, we employ a dynamic spanner algorithm together with a static $(k,z)$-clustering algorithm.

I generally hate buying new computing devices and try to make them last as long as possible. I bought a used/refurb iPad 5th Gen in 2022 for $199 and got 2 years of solid use before I upgraded to a 6th Gen in 2024 (for $170) so I could use an Apple Pencil.
I then put the old 5th Gen on my trainer bike as a video player and it still works great.
But sadly, two years in the 6th Gen now has dead spots on the screen. I may need to replace it.

I do have to question whether all people's of the Nisga’a Nation are fully aware of and/or still supportive of being in co-ownership with a fascist Republican owned gas pipeline in NWBC.
“In 2024, the project was sold to the Nisga’a Nation in northwestern B.C. and the Texas-based Western LNG. Among the biggest of the project’s investors is Blackstone Inc., led by CEO and chairman Steve Schwarzman, a friend and advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, and one of the Republican Party’s top 10 donors.”
