South Africa to ban highly toxic pesticide Terbufos
In a decision welcomed by advocacy groups and researchers, South Africa’s Cabinet has approved a ban on the import of Terbufos, a highly toxic pesticide linked to the deaths of six children in a South African township in October 2024. On June 12, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, Minister of Presidency, said the ban will be accompanied by […]

SPARSE-PIVOT: Dynamic correlation clustering for node insertions
We present a new Correlation Clustering algorithm for a dynamic setting where nodes are added one at a time. In this model, proposed by Cohen-Addad, Lattanzi, Maggiori, and Parotsidis (ICML 2024), the algorithm uses database queries to access the input graph and updates the clustering as each new node is added. Our algorithm has the amortized update time of $O_ε(\log^{O(1)}(n))$. Its approximation factor is $20+\varepsilon$, which is a substantial improvement over the approximation factor of t…

On the regularization property of Levenberg-Marquardt method with Singular Scaling for nonlinear inverse problems
Recently, in Applied Mathematics and Computation 474 (2024) 128688, a Levenberg-Marquardt method (LMM) with Singular Scaling was analyzed and successfully applied in parameter estimation problems in heat conduction where the use of a particular singular scaling matrix (semi-norm regularizer) provided approximate solutions of better quality than those of the classic LMM. Here we propose a regularization framework for the Levenberg-Marquardt method with Singular Scaling (LMMSS) applied to nonline…

Natural experiments from Earth Hour reveal urban night sky being drastically lit up by few decorative buildings
Light pollution, a typically underrecognized environmental issue, has gained attention in recent years. While controlling light pollution requires sustained efforts, Earth Hour offers a unique natural experimental setting to assess temporary lights-out measures. Using photometric and spectroscopic sensors, we observed up to 50% night sky darkening during Earth Hour from 2011 to 2024 in Hong Kong, primarily as a result of a small but critical number of lights-out instances in central business di…

Informal Education is Essential to Physics: Findings of the 2024 JNIPER Summit and Recommendations for Action
In order to reach the full civic and scientific potential of physics, this white paper calls for a culture change in physics to recognize informal physics education (also referred to as public engagement or outreach) as an essential disciplinary practice. That is, engaging in informal physics education (IPE) is part of what it means to ''do physics.'' In June 2024, we hosted a summit with forty-two members of the Joint Network for Informal Physics Education and Research (JNIPER) to discuss conc…

After stabilizing around 2000-2005, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gas methane started to rise again, accelerating until a few years ago.
At least the increase seems to be slowing down since 2021.

The Trump regime's coordinated repression did not come from nowhere.
In 2024, TheNew York Times reported that the Trump transition team was already planning to use emergency powers, such as the one Trump invoked on June 7,
to confront political opponents who protest the administration.
While the Trump administration planned this move for about a year,

Rewriting the Ruby parser
At Shopify, we have spent the last year writing a new Ruby parser, which we’ve called YARP (Yet Another Ruby Parser). As of the date of this post, YARP can parse a semantically equivalent syntax tree to Ruby 3.3 on every Ruby file in Shopify’s main codebase, GitHub’s main codebase, CRuby, and the 100 most popular gems downloaded from rubygems.org. We recently got approval to merge this work into CRuby, and are very excited to share our work with the community. This post will take you thro…
