I almost signed up for Gaggle Mail even though it's US-based. I figured at least they seem to have good sense in seeing the value of email for discussion groups. And then while trialing I saw they have a function to summarise email discussions via ChatGPT that is *turned on by default*. I mean, wtaf.

So I'm deciding on self-hosting Mailman. It always seems to come back to self-hosting in the end, doesn't it... which is not nearly easy enough for most people to grapple with.

'rr' is a very odd debugger - it can run backwards (kind of). Normally when debugging a program you get to a crash and find that a variable has a bad value - your challenge is now to find out how it got that way. With 'rr' you can watch the variable and tell it to 'reverse-cont' backwards until it found what wrote it! It's not that often you need it, but when you do it's amazing - it's also great for helping understand a code base you don't know.

Just finished "Check, Please" volume 2 by Ngozi Ukazu. I had read volume 1 earlier and enjoyed it; as I said at the time I'm a bit uncomfortable with such an uncomplicated portrayal of a subculture that's usually quite toxic, and even though it gets addressed a little bit in volume 2, it's not really unpacked very much. I do see the value in aspirational contemporary fiction here though, so I'm definitely happier about this angle than I was after volume 1. In any case, hockey, baking, and gay romance continues to be a very entertaining combination from Ukazu's pen, and overall I enjoyed the series quite a lot!

Invariant Price of Anarchy: a Metric for Welfarist Traffic Control
Ilia Shilov, Mingjia He, Heinrich H. Nax, Emilio Frazzoli, Gioele Zardini, Saverio Bolognani
arxiv.org/abs/2512.05843 arxiv.org/pdf/2512.05843 arxiv.org/html/2512.05843
arXiv:2512.05843v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The Price of Anarchy (PoA) is a standard metric for quantifying inefficiency in socio-technical systems, widely used to guide policies like traffic tolling. Conventional PoA analysis relies on exact numerical costs. However, in many settings, costs represent agents' preferences and may be defined only up to possibly arbitrary scaling and shifting, representing informational and modeling ambiguities. We observe that while such transformations preserve equilibrium and optimal outcomes, they change the PoA value. To resolve this issue, we rely on results from Social Choice Theory and define the Invariant PoA. By connecting admissible transformations to degrees of comparability of agents' costs, we derive the specific social welfare functions which ensure that efficiency evaluations do not depend on arbitrary rescalings or translations of individual costs. Case studies on a toy example and the Zurich network demonstrate that identical tolling strategies can lead to substantially different efficiency estimates depending on the assumed comparability. Our framework thus demonstrates that explicit axiomatic foundations are necessary in order to define efficiency metrics and to appropriately guide policy in large-scale infrastructure design robustly and effectively.

It's like: "what if Incredible Machine, but Ballionaire" - you randomly get access to a bunch of items that each have their own mechanics and trigger/play off each other, which you build out on a grid - but the grid itself can be manipulated by the items. Some of the interactions are absolutely wild.

Mr. Nadella, don’t worry about the “real world impact” of what you call “AI,” i.e., LLM-driven chatbots. Already today, lazy students and fraudulent researchers “get value out of AI in the real world.”
But I get it, the big question is: how can Microsoft profit from cheating and fraud in education and research?

For day 3 of #AdventOfCode I outsmarted myself by using `each` on an array to get the index and the value, but forgot that #Perl does not reset the counter when you exit the loop early. (It worked for part 1, though..). After switching to a stupid c-style for loop it was easy (because I agai…

On Dynamic Programming Theory for Leader-Follower Stochastic Games

Abstract: Leader-follower general-sum stochastic games (LF-GSSGs) model sequential decision-making under asymmetric commitment, where a leader commits to a policy and a follower best responds, yielding a strong Stackelberg equilibrium (SSE) with leader-favourable tie-breaking. This paper introduces a dynamic programming (DP) framework that applies Bellman recursion over credible sets-state abstractions formally representing all rational follower best responses under partial leader commitments-to compute SSEs. We first prove that any LF-GSSG admits a lossless reduction to a Markov decision process (MDP) over credible sets. We further establish that synthesising an optimal memoryless deterministic leader policy is NP-hard, motivating the development of {\epsilon}-optimal DP algorithms with provable guarantees on leader exploitability. Experiments on standard mixed-motive benchmarks-including security games, resource allocation, and adversarial planning-demonstrate empirical gains in leader value and runtime scalability over state-of-the-art methods.

Eli Lilly, the maker of hugely popular weight loss drugs, has reached $1 trillion in value, becoming the first publicly traded company in health care to hit the milestone.
The second-most valuable health care company, Johnson & Johnson, is worth about half a trillion dollars.
Lilly’s stock has surged in large part because of the company’s success in seizing the biggest potential market in the history of the drug industry:
the class of weight loss medicines known as GLP-1…
