A trillion dollars is a terrible thing to waste
The machine learning community is finally waking up to the madness, but the detour of the last few years has been costly.

Trump's Tylenol-autism disaster is falling apart
Before we get into it: if you’re receiving this via email, thank you.

It would be great if there was one simple trick for winning elections. But 'just be more moderate' isn't it.
In fact, you can use the NYT's exact method to 'prove' a 'Progressive Advantage' of 1.4 pts.
This piece shows what's really going on: funded candidates do better than unfunded ones.

The New York Times’ “Moderation Advantage” Is a Statistical Illusion
After accounting for money and incumbency the supposed electoral bonus for moderate candidates vanishes entirely.

My favorite part of this is when ChatGPT tells the Lurie staffer about Mayor Lurie's budget instructions to city departments on December 13, 2023. Lurie entered office in January 2025.

Spectral Equivalence of Solvable Lie Algebras with Nilradical I: General and Heisenberg Cases
Building on the work of Yang, Key, and Muller, we investigate the spectral theory of solvable Lie algebras through their characteristic polynomials and associated spectral invariants. We begin by studying the general case: we compare two notions of spectral equivalence, establish the first known lower bound for the spectral invariant $k(L)$ via the weight decomposition of the nilradical, and introduce a new notion of spectral rigidity to study spectral equivalence within parameterized families.…

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

I was cleaning up my desktop and I found this image. I had forgotten about it. It comes from David Holmgren's 'Retrosuburbia'. I'm happy to see my position - towards the rational end of the rational/intuitive spectrum (I always think you need to thoroughly, skeptically question your own beliefs, lest you find wishful thinking or prejudices amongst them), and midway along the "leave nature do it's thing/use design to keep your elbows in" spectrum. Yep, that'…
