Reclaimer, spare that tree!
Take not a single bit!
It used to point to me,
Now I'm protecting it.
It was the reader's CONS
That made it, paired by dot;
Now, GC, for the nonce,
Thou shalt reclaim it not.

Construction of TotalEnergies pipeline cuts through coral reefs in Mozambique
Over the past year, a dredger operated by Dutch company Van Oord cut through a coral reef off the coast of northern Mozambique, part of the construction of French oil and gas giant TotalEnergies’ troubled liquefied natural gas project in Cabo Delgado. Data scientists analyzing satellite imagery and vessel data have found that a massive […]

the nytimes profile of How Epstein Got His Wings reminds me a lot of Tom Ripley, but with less murder. Ripley had a talent for math, Epstein started as a math teacher. Ripley's entry into wealthy lifestyle began with fixing some rich guy's taxes, Epstein gained access to wealthy patrons with tax-avoidance advice. they both played piano while running all types of self-interested cons on all their charmed associates. etc.

I was part of an OCLC RLP working group on 'artificial intelligence to support metadata workflows'.
Four posts summarise this work, looking at primary cataloguing, archives and special collections, institutional repositories, and overall pros and cons https://hangingtogether.org/tag/aiandm

Leaving Vienna for #DectWorld (Munich) in the small morning hours.
Pros: Every street is a pedestrian area when there are barely any cars.
Cons: Train station bakeries open way after the first train leaves.

Beyond Cons: Purely Relational Data Structures
We present {Kanren} (read: set-Kanren), an extension to miniKanren with constraints for reasoning about sets and association lists. {Kanren} includes first-class set objects, a functionally complete family of set-theoretic constraints (including membership, union, and disjointedness), and new constraints for reasoning about association lists with shadowing and scoped lookup. These additions allow programmers to describe collections declaratively and lazily, without relying on structural encodin…

Evaluating BBRv2 on the Dropbox Edge Network
Nowadays, loss-based TCP congestion controls in general and CUBIC specifically became the de facto standard for the Internet. BBR congestion control challenges the loss-based approach by modeling the network based on estimated bandwidth and round-trip time. At Dropbox, we've been using BBRv1 since 2017 and are accustomed to its pros and cons. BBRv2 introduces a set of improvements to network modeling (explicit loss targets and inflight limits) and fairness (differential probing and headroom for…

Curved Boolean Logic: A Contextual Generalization of Propositional Logic with Algorithmic Consequences
Curved Boolean Logic (CBL) generalizes propositional logic by allowing local truth assignments that do not extend to a single global valuation, analogous to curvature in geometry. We give equivalent sheaf and exclusivity-graph semantics and a context-aware proof calculus that is conservative in the flat limit. We formalize CBL-SAT and basic complexity (NP-complete in general) and present operational operators (CBL-AC and CBL-CONS) that prune contradictions earlier on classical hardware. We mode…

Le Conseil d’Etat vaudois a décidé de conclure sa folle semaine par une annonce inattendue. Réuni pendant près de cinq heures vendredi – soit plus du double qu’initialement prévu –, le gouvernement s’est mis d’accord pour renoncer Š la contribution de crise de 0,7% ainsi qu’Š la suppression des décharges de fin de carrière pour les enseignants.

Cédric Weissert, chef de groupe UDC, «c’est l’apothéose»: «On se sent abandonnés. Nous avons soutenu ce gouvernement par fidélité et il nous lâche au dernier moment. Nous sommes frustrés et en colère. La gauche n’a pas besoin de retrouver la majorité en 2027, c’est déjŠ elle qui dirige ce canton. Ce Conseil d’Etat avait pour une fois l’occasion de montrer qu’il avait du cran. Eh bien c’est raté et ça nous donne une bonne raison de refuser ce budget.»
