Tail Optimality and Performance Analysis of the Nudge*(M) Scheduling Algorithm
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recently it was shown that the response time of First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) scheduling can be stochastically and asymptotically improved upon by the {\it Nudge} scheduling algorithm in case of light-tailed job size distributions. Such improvements are feasible even when the jobs are partitioned into two types and the scheduler only has information about the type of incoming jobs (but not their size). In this paper we introduce Nudge*$(M)$ scheduling, where...
$\gamma$-CounterBoost: Optimizing response time tails using job type information only
Announce Type: new Abstract: In a recent paper the $\gamma$-Boost scheduling policy was shown to minimize the tail of the response time distribution in a light-tailed M/G/1-queue. This policy schedules jobs using a boosted arrival time, defined as the arrival time of a job minus its boost, where the boost of a job depends on its exact job size.

Presti called Holmgren "one of our guys" during a postseason news conference that ran past 100 minutes Monday, reiterating a continued belief in him as a franchise pillar as another transaction cycle in the NBA looms.

The Plight of the Radical’s Children
The Russian Revolution aimed to dissolve the family. Neither true equality nor true freedom could be achieved, the Bolsheviks argued, until class bonds trumped all other loyalties—that is, until people no longer felt greater responsibility toward their family than they did toward strangers. “The worker-mother must learn not to differentiate between yours and mine,” Alexandra Kollontai, the Soviet Union’s first people’s commissar for social welfare, wrote.

Despite the interest, Rousey stated she would not be doing matches while in training camp for her MMA return against Gina Carano, and she has not confirmed a return to professional wrestling.

Microsoft’s AI chief says superintelligence is near, but won’t take your job
Today I’m talking with Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI. And I’m actually going to keep today’s intro short — I’m working from my wife’s family farm this week, as you’ll see in the video, but also this is a real burner of an episode. We covered everything from Mustafa’s approach to training new models to his criticisms of Anthropic talking about Claude as though it is conscious.
