Ladies and gentlemen and others, this is why I recommend hosting your own forge, like forgejo: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/114536667832141959
Also, as I recently discovered: Github git implementation is pretty dumb and reports unsolvable conflicts that are automatically solved by…

"But West Virginia’s new law is unusual. Boasting the “least restrictive regulatory environment in the nation,” it prohibits local officials from having any input into where off-grid data centers go. This provision appears to be a nationwide first and is angering mayors and commissioners statewide."

WikiMixQA: A Multimodal Benchmark for Question Answering over Tables and Charts
Documents are fundamental to preserving and disseminating information, often incorporating complex layouts, tables, and charts that pose significant challenges for automatic document understanding (DU). While vision-language large models (VLLMs) have demonstrated improvements across various tasks, their effectiveness in processing long-context vision inputs remains unclear. This paper introduces WikiMixQA, a benchmark comprising 1,000 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) designed to evaluate cross-…

Convergence to equilibrium for a class of exchange economies
For a class of stochastic dynamical models of exchange economies that we call ``fully connected Cobb-Douglas'', the paper proves convergence of the probability distribution to an equilibrium, in total variation metric as time goes to infinity. The convergence is exponential and the equilibrium is determined uniquely by the number of agents, their ``exponents'', and the initial amounts of money and goods in the economy.

Numerical evaluation of deliberative discussions of the UK food system: stimuli, demographics, and opinion reversion
There is increasing acknowledgement - including from the UK government - of the benefit of employing deliberative processes (deliberative fora, citizens' juries, etc.). Evidence suggests that the qualitative reporting of deliberative fora are often unclear or imprecise. If this is the case, their value to policymakers could be diminished. In this study we develop numerical methods of deliberative processes to document people's preferences, as a complement to qualitative analysis. Data are taken…
