I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Actually Handed Over: 'I handed a US company my passport, my face, and the mathematical geometry of my skull. They cross-referenced me against credit agencies and government databases. They’ll use my documents to train their AI. And if the US government comes knocking, they’ll hand it all over — even if it’s stored in Europe, even if I’m European, and possibly without ever telling me.
...know what you’re trading.'

Unitary, Inner product, and Dagger categories
Robin Cockett, Durgesh Kumar, Priyaa Varshinee Srinivasan
arxiv.org/abs/2603.27614 arxiv.org/pdf/2603.27614 arxiv.org/html/2603.27614
arXiv:2603.27614v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This article provides an alternate characterization of dagger categories, which are central to the study of categorical quantum mechanics, in terms of inner product categories. An inner product category is an "achiral involutive" category with an inner product combinator. Inner product categories are, in turn, precisely the same as unitary categories, which are a weaker form of dagger categories. In unitary categories, there is an isomorphism between an object and its dagger, instead of the identity function as in the case of dagger categories. Every unitary category is equipped with a global inner product structure, which allows one to strictify the involutive structure on the unitary category to obtain a dagger category, making unitary categories 2-categorically equivalent to dagger categories.
By regarding the inner product as an abstract metric on an (achiral) involutive category, one can define metric-preserving maps (isometries) in inner product categories, and also develop other notions of special maps -- unitary, Hermitian, positive, and normal maps -- in this setting.

JUST-DUB-IT: Video Dubbing via Joint Audio-Visual Diffusion

arxiv.org/abs/2601.22143 arxiv.org/pdf/2601.22143 arxiv.org/html/2601.22143
arXiv:2601.22143v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Audio-Visual Foundation Models, which are pretrained to jointly generate sound and visual content, have recently shown an unprecedented ability to model multi-modal generation and editing, opening new opportunities for downstream tasks. Among these tasks, video dubbing could greatly benefit from such priors, yet most existing solutions still rely on complex, task-specific pipelines that struggle in real-world settings. In this work, we introduce a single-model approach that adapts a foundational audio-video diffusion model for video-to-video dubbing via a lightweight LoRA. The LoRA enables the model to condition on an input audio-video while jointly generating translated audio and synchronized facial motion. To train this LoRA, we leverage the generative model itself to synthesize paired multilingual videos of the same speaker. Specifically, we generate multilingual videos with language switches within a single clip, and then inpaint the face and audio in each half to match the language of the other half. By leveraging the rich generative prior of the audio-visual model, our approach preserves speaker identity and lip synchronization while remaining robust to complex motion and real-world dynamics. We demonstrate that our approach produces high-quality dubbed videos with improved visual fidelity, lip synchronization, and robustness compared to existing dubbing pipelines.

Late in 2024, Elon Musk endorsed Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland. We document that after this, Tesla sales rose by up to 30 percent in right-leaning districts relative to left-leaning ones [..] Divestment in second-hand markets shows no partisan differences, consistent with resale requiring a larger identity cost from Tesla’s image shock than non-purchase. Our lower bound-estimate for the overall loss in Tesla sales is [..] worth at least €241 million."

Panel (a) reports event-study estimates using new registrations of other electric vehicle
brands as the outcome variable. Panel (b) examines political polarization in private Tesla listings on a large second-hand market.
Two maps of Germany at district level: The left panel shows the change in new Tesla registrations by district between the first half of 2024 and the first half of 2025. The right panel shows district-level vote shares for the Alternative for Deutschland in the 2021 federal election.
The upper panel shows event study estimates of the Alternative for Deutschland vote shares in the 2021 federal election on new Tesla registrations. The lower panel shows event study estimates of the Green Party vote share in the 2021 federal election on new Tesla registrations.

Canadian Historical Association president Coates on federal and provincial budget cuts which "have a major impact on our colleagues, on our students who may hope to find work in these fields, and on our abilities to carry out our own research and teaching. The particular historical moment in which we find ourselves, with the threats to Canadian sovereignty... underline the urgency of making available to all citizens the wide knowledge of our past."

🆔 DC4EU final report proposes pluralistic trust model to realise EUDI Wallet vision
A key message in the report: no single trust model fits Europe’s diversity. Instead, DC4EU proposes a pluralistic approach, weaving together three complementary trust infrastructures.
⏳ With less than a year left to achieve Europe’s 2026 digital identity mandate, the report calls for coordinated action to move from feasibility to real-world deployment at European scale.
Read more:

Quote: "I am very pleased to see that the report recognises the need to integrate with the well-established and globally used eduGAIN identity federations. The solution proposed by DC4EU demonstrates that the EUDI wallet can work at scale by building on what already works.” – Klaas Wierenga, Chief Services Officer at GÉANT and member of the DC4EU Strategic Committee

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.

Letter:

Dear Minister Miller,
I am writing to you in my capacity as president of the Canadian Historical Association | Société historique du Canada. The members of our association have been distressed to see the recent news about cutbacks in a number of federal government units that are very important to all Canadians who are interested in the history of our country: Library and Archives Canada, the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum, Parks Canada, and Statistics Canad…
Letter:

While we cannot expect the federal government to address problems at the provincial level, in your role as Minister of Canadian Heritage, we hope that we can count on you to advocate on behalf of all Canadians to maintain and enhance the role of agencies that collect data and records and make them accessible to broad publics. We recognise that the country faces many current challenges, but we do not want short-sighted decisions to have long-lasting effects on the future study of the co…
