The papers on the DL are open access starting this year, so I think there is good movement towards open access. Making some metadata paywalled is a setback but hopefully it can be reversed.

Starting in the fall (Gemini 2.5 pro launched experimentally at the end of March) LLMs that were useful for math launched. I didn't have much luck using them within their web interface, but I found them to be extremely useful within coding agent harnesses like Windsurf.

Agreed, if what we are seeing is a lot of AI-generated, mediocre applications being added to the pool it won't mean much for the chances (but additional work for the panels...). I guess time will tell.

Good question. I would be curious to know if applications from researchers in the United States has significantly increased following the decrease in funding there?

I wonder if there are independent attempts to attack the protections of this software and/or quantify its utility? (A prior version of Diffix was famously broken by Aloni Cohen and Kobbi Nissim, @kobbini.bsky.social, in arxiv.org/abs/1810.05692)
Linear Program Reconstruction in Practice
We briefly report on a successful linear program reconstruction attack performed on a production statistical queries system and using a real dataset. The attack was deployed in test environment in the...
