Habe mich heute sehr darüber gefreut zu hören, dass @… das Problem #Impressumspflicht schon eine ganze Weile deutlich thematisiert.
Weil mich das nämlich auch schon eine Weile beschäftigt:

"But as you can see, the programs do come at a cost... we estimate about $27.4m a year goes to the administrative costs and also the projected fare revenue reduction."
I'm waiting for the slide where they estimate the much higher cost of all the unmetered parking spaces across the city, and of turning off meters at 6pm and on Sundays. I'm sure that'll definitely be later in this presentation, right?

"Die Wertschöpfung des Rohstoffhandels belief sich 2024 auf 19,2 Milliarden Franken"

Detection of OH maser emission in the 71-year periodic comet 12P/Pons-Brooks using the 40-m Thai National Radio Telescope (TNRT)
Although the optical cometary database is extensive, the radio database is limited. The 18-cm OH maser observations of comets allow us to determine (i) the production rate of OH ($Q_{\rm{OH}}$) and (ii) the water expansion velocity, for each comet. To reveal the physical properties of the periodic comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, we conducted the OH maser observations of the comet using the 40-m TNRT (Thai National Radio Telescope) on March 22nd, 27th and 29th, 2024 before the perihelion passage on April…

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…
