Cop gets busted driving his police SUV 80mph in a 45mph zone, with no lights or siren. He initially ignored a sheriff's deputy trying to pull him over; after he finally stopped, he refused to hand over his license and then he fled the traffic stop.
Surprise! Cop is now back on the job, because the law is for little people.

Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds
Return-to-office mandates at some of the most powerful tech companies
— Apple, Microsoft and SpaceX
— were followed by a spike in departures among the most senior, tough-to-replace talent,
according to a case study published last week by researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of Michigan.

Researchers drew on résumé data from People Data Labs to understand the impact that…

Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds
In the months following return-to-office mandates, an increased number of senior employees departed Apple, Microsoft and SpaceX, often to work for competitors.

You can spin the whole "people leave if you ask them to go back to office" thing as "stupid companies" but given how they are currently all trying to juice their stock value with layoffs doing that work for them doesn't sound like them being dumb, it saves on severance and shit.

No-Regret Algorithms in non-Truthful Auctions with Budget and ROI Constraints
Advertisers increasingly use automated bidding to optimize their ad campaigns on online advertising platforms. Autobidding optimizes an advertiser's objective subject to various constraints, e.g. average ROI and budget constraints. In this paper, we study the problem of designing online autobidding algorithms to optimize value subject to ROI and budget constraints when the platform is running any mixture of first and second price auction. We consider the following stochastic setting: There is…

Action Model Learning with Guarantees
This paper studies the problem of action model learning with full observability. Following the learning by search paradigm by Mitchell, we develop a theory for action model learning based on version spaces that interprets the task as search for hypothesis that are consistent with the learning examples. Our theoretical findings are instantiated in an online algorithm that maintains a compact representation of all solutions of the problem. Among these range of solutions, we bring attention to act…

On closed definable subsets in Hensel minimal structures
This paper deals with Hensel minimal structures on non-trivially valued fields $K$. The main aim is to establish the following two properties of closed 0-definable subsets $A$ in the affine spaces $K^{n}$. Every such subset $A$ is the zero locus of a continuous 0-definable function $f:K^{n} \to K$, and there exists a 0-definable retraction $r: K^{n} \to A$. While the former property is a non-Archimedean counterpart of the one from o-minimal geometry, the former does not hold in real geometry in…
