Virginia Vassilevska Williams wrote some thoughts about the 3-SUM breakthrough Josh Alman and her wrote an exposition of, how it happened, what it means, and some context about 'what could have been' in a world with more time and fewer models. Read it here: people.csail.mit.edu/virgi/though...

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis. “It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.”

The German state has arrested people and accused them of hating Jews for wearing Palestine-colored maps of Palestine/Israel that don’t show the borders between the State and the occupied territories. It funds conferences which advertise with identical, but Israel-colored maps.

Die Jewish Agency for Israel macht demnächst eine Konferenz in Potsdam und wirbt dafür mit einer Karte von Israel und den besetzten Gebieten– vom Fluss bis zum Meer- auf der Palästinenser*innen fehlen. Gefördert werden Konferenz und Organisation vom Bundesinnenministerium mit 400.000 jährlich.

The paper argues that this is literally undecidable: "Informally, providing semantically faithful AI autoformalisation is harder than any computational problem including the Halting problem." The only way to be sure is extensive manual checking.
