@julian is working on a way to follow ORCID accounts via the fediverse!
My ORCID fedi handle is: @0000-0001-6000-4722
This is in the early stages, but it looks really cool! I can imagine following the work of a bunch of researchers and seeing new publications appearing in a timeline.

1) A paper we published last year in EJS contained a technical mistake. We just published a corrigendum today. In case you need dimension-free bounds on the estimation error of covariance matrices for time series, use the corrigendum rather than the original paper!

Corrigendum to “Dimension-free bounds for sums of dependent matrices and operators with heavy-tailed distributions”
We correct Theorem 4 of Nakakita et al. (2024) by introducing a log-Sobolev inequality in place of the boundedness condition. We show that the examples discussed in Nakakita et al. (2024) can be recovered under new conditions.
