Abstract
Data and Python code reproducing all analyses of the article "One genotype, two deserts: climatic distance to a premium terroir predicts Deglet Noor date quality in North Africa and California" (submitted to Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene). The archive contains ERA5 daily extracts (1990-2024, retrieved via the Open-Meteo API) for the thirteen Maghreb Deglet Noor panel sites, the held-out Coachella Valley site and the climatic controls; the leakage-free nested cross-validation, permutation, floating-optimum and held-out prediction analyses; the AR6 delta-method projection to 2050; the supplementary analyses S1-S7, including the OGIMET station validation; and the figure scripts. Version 5 supersedes all earlier versions (see CHANGELOG.md). Versions 3 and 4 were internal development versions and were not deposited on Zenodo.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity. The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
