Employers slashed more than 150,000 jobs in October,
the largest wave of layoffs in more than 20 years,
a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas said Nov. 6.
From tech to Hollywood, retailers and utilities,
U.S. companies are intensifying job cuts and workforce reductions that began in 2024,
as they focus on cost savings and leaner operations amid a challenging economic environment.
Firms have pointed to a myriad of causes for their layoffs,

Layoffs are hitting. See the major companies cutting jobs in 2025.
Verizon, Amazon, Target and Paramount are just a few of the many companies to have announced layoffs in 2025.

"Dispensing false information in a confident tone, rather than offering no answer when none is readily available, is a major flaw of generative AI, experts say.

Old growth threatened by logging increases in BC
The Narwhal reports on a new study by Sierra Club BC that finds efforts to protect old growth forests in BC have largely failed since the ruling centrist NDP party has been in charge starting in 2013. The report found that "13,000 football fields worth of old-growth deferral zones were logged" in the past 4 years in BC. Meanwhile, premier David Eby has urged forestry production in BC to increase by 50% over 2024 levels.

State-Dependent X-ray Variability in Cygnus X-1: A 12-Year NuSTAR Timing Study of Accretion Flow Geometry
We present a comprehensive timing analysis of the black hole X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 using 26 NuSTAR observations spanning 2012-2024, providing the most detailed characterization to date of its accretion flow variability across spectral states. Our analysis reveals fundamental insights into the physics governing state transitions in stellar-mass black holes. We discover distinct bimodal flux distributions in the 8-79 keV band with well-separated peaks, contrasting with overlapping distributions…

Graphs Excluding a Minor in Blowups of Treewidth 3 Graphs
Alon, Seymour, and Thomas [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 1990] famously showed that every $n$-vertex $K_h$-minor-free graph has treewidth $O_h(\sqrt{n})$. Recently, Distel, Dujmović, Eppstein, Hickingbotham, Joret, Micek, Morin, Seweryn, and Wood [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 2024] refined this by showing that these graphs are $O_h(\sqrt{n})$-blowups of treewidth $4$ graphs. We improve this by showing that these graphs are $O_h(\sqrt{n})$-blowups of treewidth $3$ graphs.

In the light of the recent Particle Data Group (PDG) release, we revisit the running quark and lepton Yukawa couplings, together with the quark mixing parameters, across a range of energy scales. The 2024 PDG determinations of low-energy fermion masses feature significantly smaller uncertainties, resulting from a reduced estimate of systematic errors compared to the more conservative treatment in the 2022 analysis. To assess the impact of these changes, we present running parameters obtained us…

On the pancyclicity of $2$-connected $[5,3]$-graphs

On the pancyclicity of $2$-connected $[5,3]$-graphs
A graph $G$ is called an $[s,t]$-graph if any induced subgraph of $G$ of order $s$ has size at least $t$. In 2024, Zhan conjectured that every $2$-connected $[p + 2, p]$-graph of order at least $2p + 3$ and with minimum degree at least $p$ is pancyclic, where $p$ is an integer with $3 \leq p \leq 5$. In this paper, we confirm the conjecture for the case $p=3$, thereby taking the first step toward a complete resolution of the conjecture.
