"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…

Personalized Auto-Grading and Feedback System for Constructive Geometry Tasks Using Large Language Models on an Online Math Platform
As personalized learning gains increasing attention in mathematics education, there is a growing demand for intelligent systems that can assess complex student responses and provide individualized feedback in real time. In this study, we present a personalized auto-grading and feedback system for constructive geometry tasks, developed using large language models (LLMs) and deployed on the Algeomath platform, a Korean online tool designed for interactive geometric constructions. The proposed sys…

Optimal Pricing of Electric Vehicle Charging on Coupled Power-Transportation Network based on Generalized Sensitivity Analysis
In the last decade, charging service providers are emerging along with the prevalence of electric vehicles. These providers need to strategically optimize their charging prices to improve the profits considering operation conditions of the coupled power-transportation network. However, the optimal pricing problem generally involves the user equilibrium model, which leads to a mathematical program with equilibrium constraints. As a result, the pricing problem is non-convex and computationally in…

Profit Maximization for a Robotics-as-a-Service Model
The growth of Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) presents new operational challenges, particularly in optimizing business decisions like pricing and equipment management. While much research focuses on the technical aspects of RaaS, the strategic business problems of joint pricing and replacement have been less explored. This paper addresses the problem of profit maximization for an RaaS operator operating a single robot at a time. We formulate a model where jobs arrive sequentially, and for each, th…

After more than 5 years I've finally written a post on my old blog because this post is longer. It's about my recent success of repurposing old hardware at the office to build a PC with two graphics cards. It hosts two virtual machines and each one has access to a dedicated Nvidia GPU.
With two monitors, mice and keyboards two people could even work on site at the same machine 😎 But this is primarily meant to provide remote desktops for I/O and editorial.

Generating Differentially Private Networks with a Modified Erdős-Rényi Model
Differential privacy has been used to privately calculate numerous network properties, but existing approaches often require the development of a new privacy mechanism for each property of interest. Therefore, we present a framework for generating entire networks in a differentially private way. Differential privacy is immune to post-processing, which allows for any network property to be computed and analyzed for a private output network, without weakening its protections. We consider undirect…
