It's official: Bulgaria is in the euro-zone. An excerpt from an atypically emotional NYE address by the Central Bank governor: "Thank you, friends. We are home. This is not a protocol. It is a feeling. In this sense, the euro is not just an economic solution... www.bnb.bg/AboutUs/Pres...

Announcing the ICML 2026 policy for LLMs in reviewing! Reviewers and authors both pick either conservative or permissive LLM use, and will be matched accordingly. Importantly: authors on papers who choose conservative must obey the conservative policy as reviewers.

JO du jour : ouverture des postes de CR au CNRS : www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/id/JORF... Avec une coquille : le titre et la liste des postes disent "chargés de recherche de classe normale" mais l'article 1 dit "directeurs de recherche de 1ère classe". Rectificatif à venir.

En 1986, le patrimoine individuel net des 30-39 ans représentait près de la moitié de celui des 50-59 ans. Un chiffre tombé à 28 % trente-cinq ans plus tard. Et l’écart se creuse encore davantage avec les plus de 70 ans. ➡️ Lire l'article : https://www.altereco.media/vrt

Holy moly. The current WNBA salaries are (accounting for inflation) still below the salaries of the ABL, a player-centric WBB league that preceded and, for a moment, competed with the WNBA.

I can't* fathom why the top picture, and not the bottom picture, is the standard diagram for an autoencoder. The whole idea of an autoencoder is that you complete a round trip and seek cycle consistency—why lay out the network linearly?

Si on supprimait la CSG payée par les retraités et qu'en même temps on baissait les retraites du même montant, Rien n'aurait changé mais on pourrait dire "on a baissé le taux de prélèvement obligatoire de 0,75 point de PIB" et le niveau de dépense d'autant. Et alors ?

For Europeans, this is a reference to an iconic Norman Rockwell image painted during the desegregation of southern schools. The difference is that in that image the federal law enforcement officials were the good guys.

I just discovered this tree view. Why isn't this enabled by default? Only this really makes sense for complex threads.

#IPAM (the institute for pure and applied mathematics) is facing a critical shortfall for operating expenses due to an unexpected suspension of NSF funding www.ipam.ucla.edu/news/nsf-fun... . Donations for emergency continuity of operations funding can be made at giving.ucla.edu/Campaign/Donat

Oh crap #MathSky, that institute is IPAM! Having IPAM destroyed is a legit disaster for a large part of the math community 😭 www.ipam.ucla.edu

20 years ago this day I had the chance to participate to the RIPS IPAM program… it was my first experience on research in image processing, a very impactful and enriching experience. I hope IPAM can be preserved!

Terence Tao (@teorth.bsky.social) has written a thread on Mastodon about the impact of the federal grant freeze to UCLA, particularly to his own field of Mathematics. UCLA's IPAM (Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics) could shut down entirely mathstodon.xyz/@tao/1149568...

As a #NeurIPS AC I did a little stat. Paper reviews+responses in my batch contain 515k characters and 75k words. This is without including papers themselves or authors/reviewers discussions. So please be nice to your AC, we are doing our best. Also I miss the one page PDF response of old ICML.

La #RIPEC C1 c’est bien mais il y a mieux pour certains chercheurs : - chargés de recherche : 6 290 € ; - directeur de recherche : 8 230 €

1/ Can open-data models beat DINOv2? Today we release Franca, a fully open-sourced vision foundation model. Franca with ViT-G backbone matches (and often beats) proprietary models like SigLIPv2, CLIP, DINOv2 on various benchmarks setting a new standard for open-source research.

⚠️⬛ "Année blanche" ou annonce d'une série noire pour le service public ? Il y aurait beaucoup à dire sur les annonces budgétaires du premier ministre ce mardi. Mais le plus frappant, c'est peut-être combien les conséquences de ce plan sur les services publics sont invisibilisées. Thread 1/14 ⤵️

After all these reports of authors adding language instructions for LLM reviews in their papers I wanted to check this myself and I downloaded the .tex source from one of these papers. Here is an example. (I will not share the identity of the paper)

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
