Leo I: the classical dwarf spheroidal galaxy with the highest dark-matter density
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are known for being strongly dominated by dark matter (DM), which makes them convenient targets for investigating the DM nature and distribution. Recently, renewed interest in the dSph Leo I has resulted from claims suggesting the presence of a central supermassive black hole (BH), with mass estimates that challenge the typical expectations for dSphs, which are generally thought to host intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). However, Pascale et al. 2024 present…

Analysis of BDDC preconditioners for non-conforming polytopal hybrid discretisation methods
In this work, we build on the discrete trace theory developed in [Badia, Droniou, Tushar, arXiv (2024)] to analyse the rate of convergence of the Balancing Domain Decomposition by Constraints (BDDC) preconditioner generated from non-conforming polytopal hybrid discretisation. We prove polylogarithmic condition number bounds for the preconditioner that are independent of the mesh parameter and number of subdomains, and hold on polytopal meshes. The analysis hinges on the continuity of a face tru…

AI, AGI, and learning efficiency
My 4-month-old kid is not DDoSing Wikipedia right now, nor will they ever do so before learning to speak, read, or write. Their entire "training corpus" will not top even 100 million "tokens" before they can speak & understand language, and do so with real intentionally.
Just to emphasize that point: 100 words-per-minute times 60 minutes-per-hour times 12 hours-per-day times 365 days-per-year times 4 years is a mere 105,120,000 words. That's a ludicrously *high* estimate of words-per-minute and hours-per-day, and 4 years old (the age of my other kid) is well after basic speech capabilities are developed in many children, etc. More likely the available "training data" is at least 1 or 2 orders of magnitude less than this.
The point here is that large language models, trained as they are on multiple *billions* of tokens, are not developing their behavioral capabilities in a way that's remotely similar to humans, even if you believe those capabilities are similar (they are by certain very biased ways of measurement; they very much aren't by others). This idea that humans must be naturally good at acquiring language is an old one (see e.g. #AI #LLM #AGI

Chemical Signatures of Population III Stars in Damped Lyman-$α$ Absorption Systems at $z \approx 6$
Recently, Sodini et al. (2024) presented a sample of OI damped Lyman-$α$ absorption system (DLA) analogs at $z\sim6$ that contain possible chemical signatures of Population III (Pop III) stars. In this paper, we use an N-body simulation-based semi-analytic model of the first stars and galaxies to predict the impact of Pop III stars on high-redshift DLAs. These Pop III DLA predictions are the first to include a number of important physical effects such as Lyman-Werner (LW) feedback, reionizatio…

Analysis of Floating-Point Matrix Multiplication Computed via Integer Arithmetic
Ootomo, Ozaki, and Yokota [Int. J. High Perform. Comput. Appl., 38 (2024), p. 297-313] have proposed a strategy to recast a floating-point matrix multiplication in terms of integer matrix products. The factors A and B are split into integer slices, the product of these slices is computed exactly, and AB is approximated by accumulating these integer products in floating-point arithmetic. This technique is particularly well suited to mixed-precision matrix multiply-accumulate units with integer s…

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…

Who is using AI to code? Global diffusion and impact of generative AI
Generative coding tools promise big productivity gains, but uneven uptake could widen skill and income gaps. We train a neural classifier to spot AI-generated Python functions in 80 million GitHub commits (2018-2024) by 200,000 developers and track how fast--and where--these tools take hold. By December 2024, AI wrote an estimated 30.1% of Python functions from U.S. contributors, versus 24.3% in Germany, 23.2% in France, 21.6% in India, 15.4% in Russia and 11.7% in China.

A search for heavy neutral lepton ($N$) production in $π^+\to e^+ N$ in-flight decays using data collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2017-2024 is reported. Upper limits for the extended neutrino mixing matrix element $|U_{e4}|^2$ are established at the level of $10^{-8}$ for heavy neutral leptons with mass in the range 95-126 $MeV/c^2$ and lifetime exceeding 50 ns.

Are there stars in Bluesky after the return of Donald Trump to the White House?
This study examines the shift in the scientific community from X (formerly Twitter) to Bluesky, its impact on scientific communication, and consequently on social metrics (altmetrics).

Retraction dynamics, in particular, remain stable and minimally affected by the COVID-19 shock, which contributed less than 1% to total notices.

Thoughts on Rust hashing
In languages like Python, Java, or C++, values are hashed by calling a “hash me” method on them, implemented by the type author. This fixed-hash size is then immediately used by the hash table or what have you. This design suffers from some obvious problems, like: How do you hash an integer? If you use a no-op hasher (booo), DoS attacks on hash tables are inevitable. If you hash it thoroughly, consumers that only cache hashes to optimize equality checks lose out of performance.
