Official EU portal for the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), outlining how it works and its lifecycle statistics. It provides resources for organizers—launch an initiative, online collection, regulatory and data protection policies—plus guidance on national implementation, history, FAQs, and results. It also offers news, newsletters, events, communication materials, ambassadors, podcasts, institutional pages, an educational toolkit for schools, the ECI Forum, and organizer accounts. The site is managed by the Secretariat-General and includes accessibility, contact, and privacy/cookie information.
The article promotes a worktree-aware setup script (bin/setup) that turns any Git worktree into a safe, development-ready environment while sharing a single Docker stack. Each worktree gets isolated ports, databases, and resource names derived from a worktree identity, allocated through a registry with locking. bin/setup bootstraps the toolchain, runs bin/doctor for prerequisites, ensures Docker services are healthy, generates local config, and creates/migrates per-worktree databases before exiting to run bin/dev. It should be idempotent and concurrency-safe; some cases still need dedicated stacks.
Xenharmlib 0.4.0 is a major leap: its core supports all regular temperaments and Just Intonation via Prime Limit Tunings and Multi-Generator Tunings, enabling accurate analysis of Byzantium, Renaissance, Indian classical, Indonesian gamelan, Arabic Maqam, and 20th‑century music. It preserves use of existing analytic tools (Prime Form, Normal Form) for multi‑dimensional temperaments. The release revamps documentation and adds features: Just Intonation with Prime Limit Tunings; Custom Regular Temperaments; Full Interval Arithmetic; New harmonic primitives (Sequences, Interval Fans); Interval Class Vectors; Closest Frequency Approximation. Transposition is implemented as regular transposition to avoid scale‑degree inconsistencies.
Sebastian Raschka reviews Kimi K3, a huge open-weight model (2.8T parameters) derived from Kimi Linear (48B). The key new component is LatentMoE, echoing Nemotron 3 Ultra, used to compress large linear layers. K3 emphasizes inference efficiency by replacing components with efficiency-oriented variants: MoE to LatentMoE, regular attention to multi-head latent attention and Kimi Delta Attention. Attention residuals improve residual paths with attention-based weighting, adding about 4% training cost and 2% inference cost. K3 uses NoPE (no positional embeddings) instead of RoPE and supports native multimodal input.
XY is an extremely fast, interactive Python charting library for the web, notebooks, and static exports. Charts are declarative or matplotlib-style, and fully customizable with Python, CSS, or Tailwind. The Rust core renders large datasets (density views) while preserving exact rows for interactions; pan/zoom/hover return original data. It can export to HTML, PNG, SVG, or PDF. Install with pip install xy (or uv add xy). It also offers a Reflex adapter to embed XY charts in Reflex apps. Benchmarks show substantial speedups over Matplotlib and Plotly. License: Apache-2.0.
An in-depth look at Zig's incremental compilation, which reuses changed parts of a build to quickly update binaries. The pipeline processes source files into ZIR per file; ZIR is cached and rebuilt only when source changes. Semantic analysis is the hardest part; Zig uses analysis units (layout, type, const value, function body) with dependency graphs and source-code hashes to determine what to reanalyze. Code generation emits MIR per function; linking is tightly integrated with the compiler using a MappedFile to allow in-place updates. Usage: zig build --watch -fincremental (on x86_64-linux currently). Not yet stable.
Describes profiling eBPF by measuring the performance impact of an eBPF hook with a minimal C test harness that times repeated raw openat syscalls to gauge p50/p99 latency, discarding the first 10% as warmup. Covers enabling BPF JIT and symbol exposure (sysctl), verifying symbols with bpftool and rg, and running perf with call-graph (-g), -e cycles:k, and a high sampling rate on a pinned CPU. Analyzing perf output helps identify hot paths (e.g., bpf_lsm_file_open and tail_calls) for optimization.

An in-depth look at Kimi Delta Attention (KDA), a family of linear-attention variants that replaces costly full-memory writes with delta updates on a fixed-size state S_t. Starting from quadratic softmax attention, the article derives DeltaNet and Gated DeltaNet, then introduces KDA with per-key-channel forgetting via D_t = diag(α_t), a diagonal-plus-low-rank (DPLR) update. It covers chunkwise and fused-recurrent Triton implementations for decode versus training, and notes Doubleword’s inference platform and hiring.
Origin of modern Russian mathematics arose abruptly under Peter the Great’s drive to build a state-backed academy and the Basel‑Bernoulli–Euler influx. Euler’s years in Russia founded the first real mathematical school; Lomonosov’s genius was defended by Euler, shielding him from marginalization. The 19th‑century native generation — Ostrogradsky, Bunyakovsky, Lobachevsky — produced central results: Gauss–Ostrogradsky divergence theorem, foundations of variational calculus, Ostrogradsky’s instability; Cauchy–Bunyakovsky inequality; early probability; non‑Euclidean geometry. The Chebyshev era forged the St. Petersburg school; Moscow later rose under Luzin. Together these strands built a distinct Russian mathematical civilization that influenced global mathematics.

OONI reports that in Italy, from February 2026, several major ISPs (Fastweb, Vodafone Italia, EOLO, Sky Italia, Iliad/Scaleway, INTRED, WIND TRE) began DNS-based blocking of WoW and WHW domains (womenonweb.org and womenhelp.org). Techniques included bogon IPs (127.0.0.1), NXDOMAIN responses, and TLS-block pages (e.g., 195.162.95.240 with blocking.it.isp.sky). The analysis covers 1 Nov 2025–1 Jun 2026. The findings show censorship of reproductive health information in a country where abortion is legal but access remains challenging, underscoring calls for transparency.
Europe’s 2028–2034 budget could be funded more from EU own resources than from member-state transfers. While the Commission’s plan forecasts about €58.2bn annually from ETS/CBAM revenues, waste, tobacco levies and plastics, the analysis notes higher-potential options. A minimum wealth tax on net assets above €100m could yield up to €41bn yearly; a coordinated EU tax on crypto transactions; an aviation levy; and taxes on online gambling. A mix of these cross-border bases would reduce reliance on labour taxes and finance European public goods.
GrapheneOS defended its data-wiping feature after activist Sam Tunick used a “duress password” to wipe his GrapheneOS-powered Pixel during a US Customs search. The foundation says GrapheneOS is legal and won’t weaken protections, and it cannot help law enforcement recover data or bypass encryption. The duress password triggers an irreversible wipe; the system also includes an auto-reboot timer to secure data. Tunick has been indicted for destroying or impairing government property and could face up to five years. The case highlights the privacy vs. government-investigation debate.

Andrew Wiles devoted his career to Fermat's Last Theorem. He announced a proof in 1993, but an error nearly ruined his work. Isolated and driven by a lifelong fascination with Fermat, he pursued the problem for years. In 1986 Ken Ribet linked Fermat’s theorem to the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, guiding him toward a correct approach. After collaborating with Richard Taylor to fix the error, he produced a 20th‑century proof. He reflects on obsession, solitude, and triumph, and notes new challenges like the Riemann Hypothesis.
