PIPQ: Strict Insert-Optimized Concurrent Priority Queue
This paper presents PIPQ, a strict and linearizable concurrent priority queue whose design differs from existing solutions in literature because it focuses on enabling parallelism of insert operations as opposed to accelerating delete-min operations, as traditionally done. In a nutshell, PIPQ's structure includes two levels: the worker level and the leader level. The worker level provides per-thread data structures enabling fast and parallel insertions. The leader level contains the highest pri…

Zohran Mamdani’s apparent victory late Tuesday night represented a sharp rebuke of the Democratic Party establishment
It represented, he said, the ascendance of a new Democratic coalition, one that prioritized the needs of the working class over those of the elite.
“We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford,” he said.
“A city where they can do more than just struggle. One where those who toil in the night can enjoy the fruits of their labor in…

In Joyful Speech, Mamdani Vows to Work for ‘Each and Every New Yorker’
A crowd in Queens celebrated the triumph of Zohran Mamdani, the presumptive winner of the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City.

Interesting that while Abundant SF's head is taking shots at Zohran, Abundance New York endorsed him.
(Fifth, but they still favored him over Cuomo. They said "Zohran Mamdani is more likely to prioritize the central crises facing New Yorkers.")

I want to preorder #Borderlands 4, but OMG that is a lot of money.

I have always been a copyright sceptic but I wouldn't have wished AI to be the force to crash it. Time to think for new models of how to keep writing and music alive. Maybe a society deciding to prioritize guaranteeing giving everyone the possibility of a safe basic income, food, housing and health care instead of forcing them into competition hell could help? Maybe?

Adaptive alert prioritisation in security operations centres via learning to defer with human feedback
Alert prioritisation (AP) is crucial for security operations centres (SOCs) to manage the overwhelming volume of alerts and ensure timely detection and response to genuine threats, while minimising alert fatigue. Although predictive AI can process large alert volumes and identify known patterns, it struggles with novel and evolving scenarios that demand contextual understanding and nuanced judgement. A promising solution is Human-AI teaming (HAT), which combines human expertise with AI's comput…
