Algorithmic Collective Action with Multiple Collectives
As learning systems increasingly influence everyday decisions, user-side steering via Algorithmic Collective Action (ACA)-coordinated changes to shared data-offers a complement to regulator-side policy and firm-side model design. Although real-world actions have been traditionally decentralized and fragmented into multiple collectives despite sharing overarching objectives-with each collective differing in size, strategy, and actionable goals, most of the ACA literature focused on single collec…

'Bound to browsable' - love this detailed overview of the work that goes into making specific formats (like magazines) more findable in online catalogues https://blogs.loc.gov/thesignal/2025/09/unlocking-historical-media-publications/

Bound to Browsable: Unlocking the Historical Media Publications Collection | The Signal
This post details the exciting transformation of the Historical Media Publications Collection, a challenging digital collection of historical media industry magazines spanning the late 19th to mid-20th century. Expanding online presentation from dense bound volumes into searchable, issue-level resources, this collaborative project improved discoverability and usability of this collection and set a foundation for working with other serialized content though innovative new workflows and next-gene…

ClusterFusion: Expanding Operator Fusion Scope for LLM Inference via Cluster-Level Collective Primitive
Large language model (LLM) decoding suffers from high latency due to fragmented execution across operators and heavy reliance on off-chip memory for data exchange and reduction. This execution model limits opportunities for fusion and incurs significant memory traffic and kernel launch overhead. While modern architectures such as NVIDIA Hopper provide distributed shared memory and low-latency intra-cluster interconnects, they expose only low-level data movement instructions, lacking structured …

The z = 9.625 Cosmic Gems Galaxy was a "Compact Blue Monster" Propelled by Massive Star Clusters
The recent discovery of five massive stellar clusters at z=9.625 in the Cosmic Gems has raised the question about the formation mechanism of star clusters in the first half Gyr after the Big-Bang. We infer the total stellar mass in clusters by normalizing and integrating the stellar cluster mass function (SCMF, dn(M)/dM ~ (n$_0$) $M^β$), assuming three different slopes $β$ = -1.5, -2.0 and -2.5 and different lower-mass limits between $10^2$ and $10^5$ Msun. The total integrated cluster stella…
