Did Mamata ask Yusuf Pathan to resign from LS seat? Ex-cricketer clarifies

Cricketer-turned politician Yusuf Pathan on Saturday dismissed reports claiming that the TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee either directly or through Sourav Ganguly had asked him to resign from his Lok Sabha seat to pave the way for her to contest a by-election. In a video shared on social media, Pathan termed the reports "completely false" and said neither the former West Bengal chief minister nor any other party leader had ever discussed such a proposal with him. "For quite some time now, a...

Lagrange multipliers in Maximum likelihood estimations and Least squares problems with Constraints

Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study investigates a statistical property of Lagrange multipliers in constrained Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) and Least Squares (LS) problems from the perspective of numerical optimization. Building on large-sample theory, we show that the associated Lagrange multipliers converge to zero as the sample size increases, provided the distribution is correctly specified in MLE or the residuals are normally distributed in LS. Although this asymptotic...

Winds of change in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu may steady NDA's ship in Parliament

Just when it appeared that a united opposition can derail govt's ambitious legislative age nda and disturb its narrative - drilled home by the defeat of its bill to amend women's reservation law in LS in last session - a smoother road appears to have opened up for BJP-led NDA in and outside Parliament as two of its strongest regional rivals grapple with political challenges. While former Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee-led TMC is staring at an existential threat as a rebel faction of 58 of its...

Grep this: Microsoft grafts (most) Linux commands onto Windows

Steve Ballmer’s darkest fear has come to pass: Linux has worked itself into the deepest innards of Microsoft Windows itself. At the company’s annual Build developer conference this week, Microsoft released coreutils, a Rust-built multi-call binary file for Windows that serves over 75 Unix commands directly in the Windows CMD and PowerShell command lines – including favorites such as cat, ls, grep, and head. They join Linux favorites curl and sudo which were earlier added to the Microsoft...

Sequential Least-Squares Estimators with Fast Randomized Sketching for Linear Statistical Models

arXiv:2509.06856v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a novel randomized framework for the estimation problem of large-scale linear statistical models, namely Sequential Least-Squares Estimators with Fast Randomized Sketching (SLSE-FRS), which integrates Sketch-and-Solve and Iterative-Sketching methods for the first time. By iteratively constructing and solving sketched least-squares (LS) subproblems with increasing sketch sizes to achieve better precisions, SLSE-FRS gradually...

Podman 6: machine usability improvements

I wanted to introduce a significant change we are making in Podman 6 for our machine function. To understand the problem and change, we first need to establish that Podman machine is based on a concept of providers. The provider is a generic term that describes how Podman runs the Linux virtual machine.

Jacob Fatu acknowledges Roman Reigns, Bron Breakker spears Paul Heyman and more from 'Monday Night Raw'

A solemn Jacob Fatu made his way to the ring to kickoff "Monday Night Raw" following his Tribal Combat loss to world heavyweight champion Roman Reigns at Clash in Italy with the crowd in Turin wondering whether he would participate in the "Acknowledgement Ceremony. "Reigns was surrounded by his Bloodline stablemates, Jey and Jimmy Uso, smiling as he awaited Fatu’s arrival. Reigns beat Fatu twice in one calendar month, thwarting his first major challenger to a championship he won at...

Ahoy, DECmate II the little PDP-8 that could

Now, that's a lot of word processing. But under the hood it's still at least PDP-8 adjacent, even considering its oddities and incompatibilities, and you can make it do many of the things a full-size Eight can. We'll take this basic unit, convert the floppy drives to solid state, tap the video output, and put it through its paces.
