arXiv:2506.20406v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs) provide a principled framework for optimizing sequential decision-making in domains where decisions must adapt over time in response to individual trajectories, such as healthcare, education, and digital interventions. However, existing statistical methods often rely on strong positivity assumptions and lack robustness under partial data coverage, while offline reinforcement learning approaches typically focus on average training performance, lack statistical guarantees, and require solving complex optimization problems. To address these challenges, […]

For the past few years, I have spent time trying to bend machine learning into something useful for Amazon FBA demand forecasting. On paper, it did sound straightforward to me with all these past sales in and future demand out. But in reality, Amazon’s data is messy, has so many missing pieces, and changes all the time, which makes it hard to build a reliable model. If you have ever wondered why your Prophet model looked great in […]

When Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered, and I saw the incredible courage of people in Minneapolis in the face of state brutality, I had to find some way to show that tech workers stand with Minnesota, even if our leaders don’t. I signed the ICEout petition, and I’d encourage you to do the same. I’ve also been talking to the press about why I signed it, and on the Wired Uncanny Valley podcast Kate Drummond asked […]

arXiv:2603.24625v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Solana has experienced rapid growth due to its high performance and low transaction costs, but the extremely low barrier to token issuance has also led to widespread Rug Pulls. Unlike Ethereum-based Rug Pulls that rely on malicious smart contracts, the unified SPL Token program on Solana shifts fraudulent behaviors toward on-chain operations such as market manipulation. However, existing research has not yet conducted a systematic analysis of these specific Rug Pull patterns on […]

I’ve been building auth systems for a while now, and there’s this debate that keeps coming up: JWTs or sessions? Every tutorial forces you to pick one, then spends 2000 words explaining why the other one is terrible. Here’s the thing though: this entire debate is pointless. You don’t have to choose. There’s a third option that gives you the best of both, and honestly, it’s simpler than either approach on its own. Let me show you what […]

arXiv:2603.25835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Starlink has rapidly emerged as the world’s largest satellite constellation and the de facto reference system for low Earth orbit (LEO) networking research. Existing literature predominantly models Starlink as a static, symmetric, and fully deployed structure with uniformly distributed satellites. However, we reveal that Starlink’s actual deployment, orbital configurations, and operational dynamics fundamentally deviate from these idealized assumptions. Leveraging satellite observation data spanning 2019 to 2025, we demonstrate that the constellation is highly […]

arXiv:2601.15484v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online encyclopedias are central to contemporary information infrastructures and have become focal points of debates over ideological bias. Wikipedia, in particular, has long been accused of left-leaning bias, while Grokipedia, an AI-generated encyclopedia launched by xAI, has been framed as a right-leaning alternative. This paper presents a comparative analysis of Wikipedia and Grokipedia on well-established politically contested topics. Specifically, we examine differences in semantic framing, political orientation, and content prioritization. We find that […]

Documentation culture is about behavioral traits that technical writers practice every day based on set of beliefs and organizational values. Introduction A documentation culture reflects the behavioral traits practiced by everyone guided by shared beliefs and organizational values where writing is treated as a core part of their job role. Organization with strong documentation culture embeds writing into their cultural DNA whereby knowledge is captured, documented and more importantly leveraged. The defining characteristic of such a culture is […]
