Fleet Street's local newspaper goes out of business
City Matters launched in 2016, aiming to "fill a local news gap" for City of London which, at the time, had "no dedicated title".

AI-Augmented CI/CD Pipelines: From Code Commit to Production with Autonomous Decisions
Modern software delivery has accelerated from quarterly releases to multiple deployments per day. While CI/CD tooling has matured, human decision points interpreting flaky tests, choosing rollback strategies, tuning feature flags, and deciding when to promote a canary remain major sources of latency and operational toil. We propose AI-Augmented CI/CD Pipelines, where large language models (LLMs) and autonomous agents act as policy-bounded co-pilots and progressively as decision makers. We contr…

glad people are advocating for more tree planting opportunities in sf! if you email, consider asking them for a permit process to plant trees in bulbouts in the parking lane too. this allows for larger tree beds, healthier trees and built in traffic calming and is common in berkeley & santa cruz but currently not permitted in sf!

Optimizing Token Choice for Code Watermarking: A RL Approach
The need for detecting LLM-generated code necessitates watermarking systems capable of operating within its highly structured and syntactically constrained environment. To address this, we introduce CodeTracer, an innovative adaptive code watermarking framework underpinned by a novel reinforcement learning training paradigm. At its core, CodeTracer features a policy-driven approach that utilizes a parameterized model to intelligently bias token choices during next-token prediction. This strateg…

CUDA Assisted Swampland and Black Hole Thermodynamics
Motivated by string theory activities, we investigate the swampland program in the black hole context via CUDA numerical computations. Precisely, we study charged black hole solutions submerged in a hypergeometric inflationary potential extracted from Gauss-Bonnet scalar couplings to the Einstein-Maxwell-Hilbert action. Exploiting CUDA enabled parallel programming techniques, we examine the scalar potential behaviors permitting to derive the physically relevant roots of the black hole metric fu…

"Les actions de Tesla se négocient Š un ratio cours/bénéfice de 197. En d'autres termes, les actions de Tesla valent 197 fois l'argent que l'entreprise gagne. Cette situation va bien au-delŠ d'une bulle spéculative ; un tel prix mettrait dans l'embarras une pyramide de Ponzi."

Fast and Optimal Incremental Parametric Procedure for the Densest Subgraph Problem: An Experimental Study
The Densest Subgraph Problem (DSP) is widely used to identify community structures and patterns in networks such as bioinformatics and social networks. While solvable in polynomial time, traditional exact algorithms face computational and scalability limitations, leading to the adoption of faster, but non-optimal, heuristic methods. This work presents the first experimental study of the recently devised Incremental Parametric Cut (IPC) algorithm, which is an exact method for DSP and other "mono…

Says a lot that the Hayes Valley open space on land that was supposed to be affordable housing (Proxy/Parcel K) is apparently secure, with no politician threatening to build the housing anytime soon; but the Hayes Valley open space that closes 1 block of street two days a week is fighting for its life.
