The person who accepts lies for strategic reasons loses the facts as weapons. In the world the liar creates, the liar wins every battle. The only remedy against alternative truths is the truth.

Argentinas högerradikala president Javier Milei kallar Greta Thunberg ”en före detta klimataktivist som förvandlats till legoknekt; aktivistisk för vad än den internationella vänstern säger, i utbyte mot press och kameror.” https://e…

R&D has become more effective at finding productivity-enhancing ideas,
but these ideas may also render rivals’ technologies obsolete,
making innovations more transient.
Because of obsolescence, rising R&D does not necessarily mean rising aggregate productivity growth.

Multi-Granular Spatio-Temporal Token Merging for Training-Free Acceleration of Video LLMs
Video large language models (LLMs) achieve strong video understanding by leveraging a large number of spatio-temporal tokens, but suffer from quadratic computational scaling with token count. To address this, we propose a training-free spatio-temporal token merging method, named STTM. Our key insight is to exploit local spatial and temporal redundancy in video data which has been overlooked in prior work. STTM first transforms each frame into multi-granular spatial tokens using a coarse-to-fine…

Marginal sets in semigroups and semirings
In 2019, V. A. Roman'kov introduced the concept of marginal sets for groups. He developed a theory of marginal sets and demonstrated how these sets can be applied to improve some key exchange schemes. In this paper, we extend his ideas and introduce the concept of marginal sets for semigroups and semirings. For tropical matrix semigroups and semirings, we describe how some marginal sets can be constructed. We apply marginal sets to improve some key exchange schemes over semigroups.

Continents have lost so much water to the ocean since 2002 that they have surpassed ice sheets as the biggest contributor to global sea level rise, a new study reveals.
Almost 70% of this loss is due to unchecked groundwater extraction,
which removes water from deep aquifers and eventually transfers it to the ocean, researchers found.
Together with rising rates of evaporation due to climate change, this has caused rapidly drying "hotspots" to merge into four &quo…

'Like a creeping mold that's spreading across the landscape': Separate dry areas around the world are merging into 'mega-drying' regions at an alarming rate, study finds
Unchecked groundwater extraction and climate change have dried continents significantly over the past 22 years, with 101 countries now losing fresh water to the ocean, research reveals.
