Zombie-Debatten und formative Schnippsel
Ich bin schon seit geraumer Zeit dabei, die Ordner, die ich von Umzug zu Umzug mitgeschleppt habe, zu digitalisieren. Andere Menschen würden vermutlich eher zu "kann doch weg" tendieren, ich habe, und wenn ich mir unseren Keller anschaue: durchaus familiär beeinflusst - eher eine Tendenz zum Aufhebe

Computing Large Deviations of First-Passage-Time Statistics in Open Quantum Systems: Two Methods
We propose two methods for computing the large deviations of the first-passage-time statistics in general open quantum systems. The first method determines the region of convergence of the joint Laplace transform and the $z$-transform of the first-passage time distribution by solving an equation of poles with respect to the $z$-transform parameter. The scaled cumulant generating function is then obtained as the logarithm of the boundary values within this region. The theoretical basis lies in t…

Defeating Cerberus: Concept-Guided Privacy-Leakage Mitigation in Multimodal Language Models
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in processing and reasoning over diverse modalities, but their advanced abilities also raise significant privacy concerns, particularly regarding Personally Identifiable Information (PII) leakage. While relevant research has been conducted on single-modal language models to some extent, the vulnerabilities in the multimodal setting have yet to be fully investigated. In this work, we investigate these emerging ris…

Large deviations and almost sure convergence for the extremes of branching Lévy processes
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of supercritical branching Markov processes $\{\mathbb{X}_t, t \ge0\}$ whose spatial motions are Lévy processes with regularly varying tails. Recently, Ren et al. [Appl. Probab. 61 (2024)] studied the weak convergence of the extremes of $\{\mathbb{X}_t, t \ge0\}$. In this paper, we establish the large deviation of $\{\mathbb{X}_t, t \ge0\}$ as well as some almost sure convergence results of the maximum of $\mathbb{X}_t$.

Three powerful businessmen
—two Americans and a Russian
—hunched over a laptop in Miami Beach last month, ostensibly to draw up a plan to end Russia’s long and deadly war with Ukraine.
But the full scope of their project went much further, according to people familiar with the talks.
They were privately charting a path to bring Russia’s $2 trillion economy in from the cold
—with American businesses first in line to beat European competitors to the dividends.

Taking notes from the successes and failures of the Russian revolution, a group of anarchists (including Nestor Makhno, a Ukrainian anarchist militant who was critical in defeating the Tzar's army and who later also fought the Red Army) wrote a document titled the "Organizational Platform of the Libertarian Communists." This document came to be known as "The Platform." It remains one of the most important first-hand revolutionary documents, outlining a clear revolutionary plan.
I've taken this, the Viable System Model from cybernetics, and my own organizing experience, to describe an organization to confront the current set of crises.
This continues to build on the stuff I have been writing, but it's a lot less high level theory and a lot more specific.

As always, editing notes (typos, grammar, spelling, etc) are always welcome, as are any questions. My ADHD brain tends to go a lot faster than anything else, so I have a tendency to drop words and have a lot of trouble catching them later. Between my ADHD and mild dyslexia, it can be pretty hard for me to catch when autocorrect gives me the wrong word.
A lot of folks have already been super helpful in offering their editing support, and I'm really grateful. Writing this has felt collaborative, and it should. On the one hand this comes from my own experience and research, but on the other I'm also voicing things that have come from conversations here. This has all been a bit of my voice and a bit of the federated world, and I'm really appreciating that.

Trump weather balloon cuts have Michigan meteorologists debating forecasts
Workforce cuts made by the Trump administration at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are prompting meteorologists to debate the reliability of weather predictions.
