We have to talk about burning trash🗑️🔥
Waste incinerators / waste-to-energy plants that generate electricity and heat are an enormous and often underestimated source of CO2 🏭💨🌎. For example, in Germany, a country where waste-to-energy plants are common, their emissions are higher than those of cement.
Waste incinerator operators will often claim that half of their emissions don't count 🌿 or even that they already have net-negative emissions 🌎. I disagree with both 🧵

Just Stop Burning Trash
Waste-to-energy plants are a massive source of carbon dioxide emissions. Yet, it is not obvious what the best solution for high-emitting incinerators would be. Should incinerators be equiped with carbon capture? How much can recycling rates be improved, and what role should chemical recycling play? And could landfills be a carbon storage solution?

Hmm… to be lucky, perhaps, but to be proud of having been born somewhere may well be the problem.
Letter in The Guardian:

I’ve generally disliked South Park — not because it is rude and raunchy, but because it made it seem like being a cynical asshole is somehow brave and countercultural. It made the case that it’s OK to be carelessly hurtful as long as you hurt •everyone•. It tried to make a virtue out of disaffection. Its compulsion never to be caught actually •caring• about anything or anyone robbed it of its capacity to have insights or a moral center. It flirted with satire, but always ended up just being trolling.
But who knows? It feels like trolling the fascists might be what we need right now. Maybe the show finally has its moment.

Universal pre-training by iterated random computation
We investigate the use of randomly generated data for the sake of pre-training a model. We justify this approach theoretically from the perspective of algorithmic complexity, building on recent research that shows that sequence models can be trained to approximate Solomonoff induction. We derive similar, but complementary theoretical results. We show empirically that synthetically generated data can be used to pre-train a model before the data is seen. We replicate earlier results that models t…

An eigenvalue interlacing approach to Garland's method
Let $X$ be a pure $d$-dimensional simplicial complex. For $0\le k\le d$, let $X(k)$ be the set of $k$-dimensional faces of $X$, let $\tilde{L}_k(X)$ be the $k$-dimensional weighted total Laplacian operator on $X$, and let $\tilde{H}_k(X;\mathbb{R})$ be its $k$-dimensional reduced homology group with real coefficients. For $σ\in X$, let $\text{lk}(X,σ)$ be the link of $σ$ in $X$. For a matrix $M$, we denote by $\text{Spec}(M)$ the multi-set containing all the eigenvalues of $M$. We show that,…

Estimating Conditional Covariance between labels for Multilabel Data
Multilabel data should be analysed for label dependence before applying multilabel models. Independence between multilabel data labels cannot be measured directly from the label values due to their dependence on the set of covariates $\vec{x}$, but can be measured by examining the conditional label covariance using a multivariate Probit model. Unfortunately, the multivariate Probit model provides an estimate of its copula covariance, and so might not be reliable in estimating constant covarianc…
