Many people suggest that coal-fired power is on the rise in China. In real life, it's not anymore. Massive expansion of wind and solar capacities does eat into coal's share, whether or not new power plants come online.

I have always envisioned a union operating autonomously from capitalist structures, organized horizontally without hierarchical authority, embodying direct workers’ self-management and solidarity, aimed at dismantling hierarchical power and creating a society structured around the needs and capacities of people rather than profit.

"#AI is worrisome enough as is — its insatiable thirst for energy and water, its capacities to override the wishes of human beings, its potential to destroy the planet.
My immediate concern is that AI is becoming a financial bubble whose bursting will harm lots of innocent people" -- @…

An Extrapolation Theorem in the setting of Hausdorff capacities
In this article, we prove an analogue of the Rubio de Francia's extrapolation theorem in the setting of Hausdorff capacities. We prove the result using techniques analogous to those in the classical setting and using the recently developed theory of capacitary Muckenhoupt weights.

Non-squeezing and capacities for some calibrated geometries
It was shown by Barron--Shafiee that an analogue of Gromov's non-squeezing theorem holds for affine maps which preserve a power $ω^k$ of the symplectic form $ω$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. In the present paper, we state and prove in two ways an improved version of their result which is closer to the classical affine non-squeezing theorem. One proof closely follows their argument, and the other consists of a reduction to the classical case by showing that, except for the case $k = n$, every linear m…

Artificial phantasia: Evidence for propositional reasoning-based mental imagery in large language models https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.23108 on the representation of visual imagery in humans; more information in the Bluesky thread

Artificial Phantasia: Evidence for Propositional Reasoning-Based Mental Imagery in Large Language Models
This study offers a novel approach for benchmarking complex cognitive behavior in artificial systems. Almost universally, Large Language Models (LLMs) perform best on tasks which may be included in their training data and can be accomplished solely using natural language, limiting our understanding of their emergent sophisticated cognitive capacities. In this work, we created dozens of novel items of a classic mental imagery task from cognitive psychology. A task which, traditionally, cognitive…

Detection of Chagas Disease from the ECG: The George B. Moody PhysioNet Challenge 2025
Objective: Chagas disease is a parasitic infection that is endemic to South America, Central America, and, more recently, the U.S., primarily transmitted by insects. Chronic Chagas disease can cause cardiovascular diseases and digestive problems. Serological testing capacities for Chagas disease are limited, but Chagas cardiomyopathy often manifests in ECGs, providing an opportunity to prioritize patients for testing and treatment. Approach: The George B. Moody PhysioNet Challenge 2025 invites …

Optimizing Fairness in Production Planning: A Human-Centric Approach to Machine and Workforce Allocation
This work presents a two-layer, human-centric production planning framework designed to optimize both operational efficiency and workforce fairness in industrial manufacturing. The first layer formulates the Order-Line allocation as a Constraint Programming (CP) problem, generating high-utilization production schedules that respect machine capacities, processing times, and due dates. The second layer models Worker-Line allocation as a Markov Decision Process (MDP), integrating human factors suc…

Chrysalis: A Unified System for Comparing Active Teaching and Passive Learning with AI Agents in Education
AI-assisted learning has seen a remarkable uptick over the last few years, mainly due to the rise in popularity of Large Language Models (LLMs). Their ability to hold long-form, natural language interactions with users makes them excellent resources for exploring school- and university-level topics in a dynamic, active manner. We compare students' experiences when interacting with an LLM companion in two capacities: tutored learning and learning-by-teaching. We do this using Chrysalis, an LLM-b…
