«The original paper confidently and without discussion labelled millions of tweets based on what Dave (and some others) said about the website in the tweet, but the original authors have almost certainly never heard of Dave. […] Dave's opinions must take on a form totally independent of Dave, because the original authors would never have taken this dataset seriously had it been presented as "Dave's thoughts on media." This is the spectacle of computation.»

On solutions to Hardy-Sobolev equations on Riemannian manifolds
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension at least $3$. Let $S$ be the union of the focal submanifolds of an isoparametric function on $(M,g)$. In this article we address the existence of solutions of the Hardy-Sobolev type equation $Δ_g u+K(x)u=\frac{u^{q-1}}{\left(d_{S}(x)\right)^s}$, where $d_{S}(x)$ is the distance from $x$ to $S$ and $q>2$. In particular, we will prove the existence of infinite sign-changing solutions to the equation.

AI and Agile Software Development: From Frustration to Success -- XP2025 Workshop Summary
The full-day workshop on AI and Agile at XP 2025 convened a diverse group of researchers and industry practitioners to address the practical challenges and opportunities of integrating Artificial Intelligence into Agile software development. Through interactive sessions, participants identified shared frustrations related to integrating AI into Agile Software Development practices, including challenges with tooling, governance, data quality, and critical skill gaps. These challenges were system…

On our way to Costco yesterday, and saw that the one of the local “no/ez credit car lots in our neighborhood* has a Cybertruck 😂
This is the car dealer where they asked us “why are you here?“ When they discovered we didn’t have bad credit. (respect for honesty I guess🤷🏻‍♀️)
So that’s kinda hilarious

Ergodicity of the hard-core PCA with a random walk method
The hard-core probabilistic cellular automaton has attracted a renewed interest in the last few years, thanks to its connection with the study of a combinatorial game on percolation configurations. We provide an alternative proof for the ergodicity of this PCA for a neighbourhood of size $2$ and $3$, using the notion of decorrelated islands introduced by Casse in 2023, together with some new ideas. This shortens the previous proofs and provides a more intuitive and unified approach.

Assemble Your Crew: Automatic Multi-agent Communication Topology Design via Autoregressive Graph Generation
Multi-agent systems (MAS) based on large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a powerful solution for dealing with complex problems across diverse domains. The effectiveness of MAS is critically dependent on its collaboration topology, which has become a focal point for automated design research. However, existing approaches are fundamentally constrained by their reliance on a template graph modification paradigm with a predefined set of agents and hard-coded interaction structures, significa…

A Computationally Efficient Method for Solving Mixed-Integer AC Optimal Power Flow Problems
Stepwise controllable devices, such as switched capacitors or stepwise controllable loads and generators, transform the nonconvex AC optimal power flow (AC-OPF) problem into a nonconvex mixed-integer (MI) programming problem which is generally hard to solve optimally. Existing methods for solving MI-AC-OPF problems usually suffer from either limited accuracy or computational intractability, making them impractical for real-world applications. To address these challenges, we propose an efficient…

MFAz: Historical Access Based Multi-Factor Authorization
Unauthorized access remains one of the critical security challenges in the realm of cybersecurity. With the increasing sophistication of attack techniques, the threat of unauthorized access is no longer confined to the conventional ones, such as exploiting weak access control policies. Instead, advanced exploitation strategies, such as session hijacking-based attacks, are becoming increasingly prevalent, posing serious security concerns. Session hijacking enables attackers to take over an alrea…
