Beyond Worst-Case Analysis for Symbolic Computation: Root Isolation Algorithms
We introduce beyond-worst-case analysis into symbolic computation. This is an extensive field which almost entirely relies on worst-case bit complexity, and we start from a basic problem in the field: isolating the real roots of univariate polynomials. This is a fundamental problem in symbolic computation and it is arguably one of the most basic problems in computational mathematics. The problem has a long history decorated with numerous ingenious algorithms and furnishes an active area of rese…

“Under a 287(g) task force model, such as the agreement being pursued by the University of Florida, participating officers would have the authority to interrogate “any alien or person believed to be an alien” about their right to remain in the country, as well as the power to make arrests without a warrant in some cases.”

Imagine being asked to learn while you can be stopped and interrogated just walking between classes because a campus police officer believes you might not be a US citizen.

“An assessment of updated National Climate and Energy Plans (NECPs) shows the EU is on course to achieve a 54 per cent emissions reduction by 2030 - just one per cent shy of its legally binding 55 per cent target.”
Fun fact, if Canada joined the EU it would probably hurt it from an emissions reduction perspective because Oil and Gas.
“It attributed the progress towards the 2030 goal to action in the energy sector, with renewables covering 24 per cent of energy consumption in the EU in 2023. Most member states are now aligned with the target of reaching a share of 42.5 per cent by 2030, according to the Commission.”
Weird how they don’t mention LNG as being a reason why Europe has been able to meet its goals. Almost like renewables are essentially the only way to decarbonize the industry, just like the scientists say it is.
“States have a legal obligation to deliver climate action, and the Commission has a clear responsibility to uphold and enforce EU law in response.”
Imagine Danielle Smith whining about unfair laws…
Wonder how much #bclmg Europe will be asking for…
