Sheri Byrne-Haber points out that some disability-related orgs use overlays and as a result you should probably not trust those orgs:

Autism Speaks. | Sheri Byrne-Haber (disabled)
Autism Speaks. United Spinal Association. Special Olympics. @Sins Invalid. What do they have in common? They are all organizations that claim to be allies of people who are neurodiverse or have disabilities. Every single one of them uses an overlay on their websites. Overlays are shortcuts that don’t resolve accessibility barriers created through sloppy coding practices. They create a false sense of compliance, often interfering with assistive technology and user experience. Overlay compan…

Rep. Ilhan Omar asked CNN anchor and Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins if she finds slain activist Charlie Kirk’s views “reprehensible” as Collins grilled her about social media posts related to Kirk.
Omar faced an attempted censure over her posts, which included reposting a video referencing Kirk being “shot through the neck” by his own “Frankenstein monster.”
Four Republicans helped vote down the censure resolution

No, writing _is not_ thinking. But writing is an activity that pushes you to think in a way that gets results you can actually put into words.

Rådgivningen skiljer sig en del från Småspararguiden, särskilt den enorma känsligheten kring skuld (Småspararguiden säger att man ska undvika att överamortera och istället placera sina pengar) men mycket är gemensamt.

Belief Alignment vs Opinion Leadership: Understanding Cross-linguistic Digital Activism in K-pop and BLM Communities
The internet has transformed activism, giving rise to more organic, diverse, and dynamic social movements that transcend geo-political boundaries. Despite extensive research on the role of social media and the internet in cross-cultural activism, the fundamental motivations driving these global movements remain poorly understood. This study examines two plausible explanations for cross-cultural activism: first, that it is driven by influential online opinion leaders, and second, that it results…

Obstacle-tuned transition from chaotic to coherent vortex flows and odd diffusion in chiral active fluids
The interaction of a suspension of rotating colloids with a periodically patterned structure is here investigated by means of continuum theoretical predictions and hydrodynamic simulations. Close to the obstacle surface, rotors circulate opposite to their inherent direction of rotation as a result of unidirectional rotational stresses, which is in agreement with a prediction of the generalised Stokes equation. The resulting stationary background flow significantly affects the system dynamics an…

An unconditional lower bound for the active-set method in convex quadratic maximization
We prove that the active-set method needs an exponential number of iterations in the worst-case to maximize a convex quadratic function subject to linear constraints, regardless of the pivot rule used. This substantially improves over the best previously known lower bound [IPCO 2025], which needs objective functions of polynomial degrees $ω(\log d)$ in dimension $d$, to a bound using a convex polynomial of degree 2. In particular, our result firmly resolves the open question [IPCO 2025] of whe…

Today, Ofgem approved code modification P483, some would say a small step, I say a giant step. On its own, P483 might seem like a minor technical change. But in the bigger picture, it’s a crucial piece of the puzzle that will unlock new opportunities for customers to participate in the Green Revolution effortlessly. 📢 What does P483 do? It enables customers who haven’t yet been transitioned to half-hourly settlement by their supplier to still access the flexibility market. Through agg…

Tracker Installations Are Not Created Equal: Understanding Tracker Configuration of Form Data Collection
Targeted advertising is fueled by the comprehensive tracking of users' online activity. As a result, advertising companies, such as Google and Meta, encourage website administrators to not only install tracking scripts on their websites but configure them to automatically collect users' Personally Identifying Information (PII). In this study, we aim to characterize how Google and Meta's trackers can be configured to collect PII data from web forms. We first perform a qualitative analysis of how…

End-to-end RL Improves Dexterous Grasping Policies
This work explores techniques to scale up image-based end-to-end learning for dexterous grasping with an arm + hand system. Unlike state-based RL, vision-based RL is much more memory inefficient, resulting in relatively low batch sizes, which is not amenable for algorithms like PPO. Nevertheless, it is still an attractive method as unlike the more commonly used techniques which distill state-based policies into vision networks, end-to-end RL can allow for emergent active vision behaviors. We id…
