Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white overhead view of four people playing badminton on a marked court. The net divides the space, and each player holds a racket, actively engaged in the game. One player is captured mid-swing, striking the shuttlecock. Tables and chairs in the background suggest a courtyard or recreational area. The image conveys energy, movement, and social interaction within a structured play environment. 中文替代文字： 一张黑白照片，从上方俯拍四个人在羽毛球场上比赛。球网将场地分为两半，每位选手…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photograph of a spiral metal staircase viewed from above. The staircase curves downward in a clockwise direction, casting a shadow on the concrete ground below. Patches of grass break up the pavement, and a railing is visible in the corner, suggesting another walkway. The interplay of curves, shadows, and textures creates a visually dynamic and geometric composition. 中文替代文字： 一张黑白照片，从上方俯视一座金属螺旋楼梯。楼梯顺时针向下延伸，在混凝土地面上投下弯曲的阴影。地面上点缀着草地，左上角…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A dramatic black-and-white photo of a tall high-rise building viewed from below. The building’s grid of windows stretches upward, framed by the dark silhouettes of tree leaves in the foreground. Another building is partly visible on the right. The sky is filled with textured clouds, adding depth and atmosphere. The contrast between rigid urban architecture and organic tree shapes creates a timeless, artistic mood. 中文替代文字： 一张黑白照片，从低角度拍摄一栋高层建筑。整齐的窗格向上延…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photograph of a metal outdoor staircase leading up to a landing. The stairs and railings create sharp geometric shadows on the ground and wall, forming a striking pattern of light and dark. Grass and a sidewalk surround the structure, while a tree stands nearby. In the background, a sculpture shaped like a human figure with outstretched arms adds an artistic element. The composition emphasizes contrast, geometry, and the play of sunl…

Sampling Complexity of TD and PPO in RKHS

Sampling Complexity of TD and PPO in RKHS
We revisit Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) from a function-space perspective. Our analysis decouples policy evaluation and improvement in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS): (i) A kernelized temporal-difference (TD) critic performs efficient RKHS-gradient updates using only one-step state-action transition samples; (ii) a KL-regularized, natural-gradient policy step exponentiates the evaluated action-value, recovering a PPO/TRPO-style proximal update in continuous state-action spaces.…

This thread is brilliant, and a call to action.

The @annarborobserver.bsky.social newsletter had a decent summary of the dynamic at the #a2council Transportation Commission meeting last week (https://mailchi.mp/aaobserver/a2view-november-26-2025?e=476ffa7e6c ). But we need to take some time to talk in detail about why the city's presentation was so damaging and damning... (🧵)

🌍 The climate crisis demands urgent action. But which actions are best?
Decision makers face tough trade-offs:
Policy A lowers emissions at home but increases reliance on imports.
Policy B cuts emissions long-term but raises unemployment short-term.
Policy C boosts jobs now but increases emissions in the near term.
None of these choices are simple. A policy that looks good locally may increase global emissions, or its effects may depend on what other countries d…

Figure 1: The input space (control space, search space) is a rectangular area Y (the Cartesian product of the input intervals) and it is assumed that any solution is inside this rectangle. In general it is a hyper-rectangle in an n-dimensional control space, but here n = 2. The output space (objective space) is a collection of real numbers X = R". The black-box function f : Y —> X can be seen as n single-objective functions f_i : Y —> R. The points (a, b, . .., e) are examples of (pairs of) con…
Figure 2: The curves in the objective space here illustrate the idealised point cloud: each curve keeps y1 or y2 fixed and varies the other control continuously. The objective function measures cost (x1) and emissions (x2). The objectives each individually reach zero, but not for the same controls — there is a trade-off. The Pareto front is the set of Pareto-optimal points in objective space.

Saw this in a Sam’s Club in suburban Atlanta: Bijan Robinson who is a star running back for the Atlanta Falcon’s is prominently featured on the box of this 75” TCL flat screen TV.
PLEASE respond with your location and the name of the retailer, and the picture on the box if you live in a different area.
PLEASE boost for reach.
I’m very curious if this is a national deal for TCL or if they have many local deals with local stars featured. If this TV is sold internationally who…

"Their inaction, their neutrality, their “pragmatic” accommodation—every golden plaque presented to Trump, every settlement paid to avoid retaliation, every silent acquiescence to constitutional destruction—all of this is discrediting capitalism in the eyes of ordinary Americans in ways that no socialist organizer could achieve. They are acting like the cartoon villains Marxists make them out to be"

How America’s Business Elite Became Their Own Marxist Caricature
There is a moment in every authoritarian takeover when the business elite must choose between principle and profit, between defending the system that made their wealth possible and accommodating th…

Since January, Mr. Sacks, 53, has occupied one of the most advantageous moonlighting roles in the federal government,
influencing policy for Silicon Valley in Washington while simultaneously working in Silicon Valley as an investor.
Among his actions as the White House’s artificial intelligen…
