Interesting essay on the Latin American "post new left". A bit dewy eyed re Lula and Boric but some great points taking inspiration from Zapatists, piqueteros and the Landless Workers Movement (MST).

Ahí donde la derecha extrema vende miedo, la izquierda ensaya utopías concretas: democracia participativa, derechos colectivos, economías solidarias.

Minimising length of closed billiard trajectories on hyperbolic polygons
In a hyperbolic polygon any finite collection of closed billiard trajectories can be assigned an average length function. In this paper, we consider the average length of the collection of cyclically related closed billiard trajectories in even-sided right-angled polygons and the collection of reflectively related closed billiard trajectories in Lambert quadrilaterals with acute angle $π/k$. We show that in the former case the average length is minimised by the regular evensided right-angled p…

Generative Diffusion Contrastive Network for Multi-View Clustering
In recent years, Multi-View Clustering (MVC) has been significantly advanced under the influence of deep learning. By integrating heterogeneous data from multiple views, MVC enhances clustering analysis, making multi-view fusion critical to clustering performance. However, there is a problem of low-quality data in multi-view fusion. This problem primarily arises from two reasons: 1) Certain views are contaminated by noisy data. 2) Some views suffer from missing data. This paper proposes a novel…

E.P.A. To Stop Collecting Emissions Data From Polluters
The data, from thousands of coal-burning power plants, oil refineries, steel mills and other industrial facilities, is the country’s most comprehensive way to track greenhouse gases.

The Blooming Tree Algorithm at Work: Clusters, Filaments and Superclusters in the Field of A2029
The Blooming Tree (BT) algorithm, based on the hierarchical clustering method, is designed to identify clusters, groups, and substructures from galaxy redshift surveys. We apply the BT algorithm to a wide-field ($10\times 10$ deg$^2$) spectroscopic dataset centered on the galaxy cluster A2029. The BT algorithm effectively identifies all the X-ray luminous clusters and most of the optical clusters known in the literature, numerous groups, and the filaments surrounding the clusters, associating a…
