Permutations with a fixed number of 321 patterns
We bound the number of permutations with a fixed number $r$ of $321$ patterns by a constant times the number of permutations which avoid $321$. We use this to show that the ordinary generating function for permutations with $r$ copies of $321$ patterns is not rational.

Survey of LLM Agent Communication with MCP: A Software Design Pattern Centric Review
This survey investigates how classical software design patterns can enhance the reliability and scalability of communication in Large Language Model (LLM)-driven agentic AI systems, focusing particularly on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It examines the foundational architectures of LLM-based agents and their evolution from isolated operation to sophisticated, multi-agent collaboration, addressing key communication hurdles that arise in this transition. The study revisits well-established pa…

"These meetings are distracting me from the work."
The meetings are the work. Sorry.
The fact that your org doesn't value meetings and doesn't put any effort into making them more effective is a symptom of a broader pattern of ignoring feminized "glue work" in favor of Big Masculine Outputs.
Making the work visible is the first step towards making it valued.

The glue is the work
Tech orgs only function thanks to people who volunteer for thankless "glue work." This is the space where UX lives; for the field to get respect we need to make this work visible.

London Blue Light Collaboration Evaluation: A Comparative Analysis of Spatio temporal Patterns on Emergency Services by London Ambulance Service and London Fire Brigade
With rising demand for emergency services, the London Ambulance Service, LAS, and the London Fire Brigade, LFB, face growing challenges in resource coordination. This study investigates the temporal and spatial similarities in their service demands to assess potential for routine cross-agency collaboration. Time series analysis revealed aligned demand peaks in summer, on Fridays, during daytime hours, and were highly sensitive to high temperature weather conditions. Bivariate mapping and Moran …
