TOKYO, June 19 : The Bank of Japan may raise interest rates twice by the end of the current fiscal year, after making a landmark shift in its policy focus toward mounting inflation risk, former board member Makoto Sakurai said on Friday.The central bank justified Tuesday's decision to raise its short-term pol Read more ›
Embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) applications motivate in-place parallel algorithms, which avoid allocating additional shared memory past the input. Work by Gu, Obeya, and Shun [APOCS '21] defines a family of PIP (parallel in-place) models and parallel algorithms that eschew auxiliary memory at high processor counts while remaining in-situ when run sequentially. However, their models assume asynchronous processing and have no in-pla... Read more ›

IntroductionAn ambitious problem in mechanistic interpretability of neural networks is finding an input for a neural network that produces a certain output (), however this is shown to not have a general computationally tractable solution that works in cases such as when the network acts as a verifier for an NP hard problem. However, a general algorithm might not be necessary in practice, as "Eliciting bad contexts" suggests. We also know that finding the input that maximizes the output of an... Read more ›
Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) based data assimilation algorithms synthesize predictive numerical forecast models with accumulated data as time evolves and account for model uncertainty and noisy measurements. The computational cost of these algorithms can be expensive, in particular for highly dimensional dynamical systems. Often, EnKF based algorithms have traded accuracy for reduced computational cost. In this paper, we present a novel paralle... Read more ›
Mutual funds are effective for wealth creation, but regular portfolio reviews are essential. Investors should conduct light checks periodically and a detailed review annually to ensure alignment with financial goals, prevent allocation drift, and avoid common pitfalls during evaluations.

Rust's type system prevents many classes of memory errors, yet its standard library relies heavily on unsafe code whose correctness is validated through testing, including dynamic checks under Miri, but lacks static verification. We present what is, to the best of our knowledge, the largest verification campaign reported for a software library: an open, crowdsourced effort that integrates complementary verification tools into the continuous inte...

How Biology Helps Shape Choice in Behavioral Economics The field of behavioral economics is facing several challenges and opportunities this century; the discipline is trying to find its own identity and position within science and applications. This includes debates around behavioral economics’ most fundamental idea—the causes of human decision-making. Human biology has a more important […] Read more ›
