The Trump administration is going to restrict the number of refugees it admits into the United States next year to the token level of just 7,500
– and those spots will mostly be filled by white South Africans.
The low number represents a dramatic drop after the US previously allowed in hundreds of thousands of people
fleeing war and persecution from around the world

Back in the car again to go to work earlier than the first train would leave. 😕
I enjoy one thing about this though: I see soooo many nocturnal animals, and since I drive slow enough, there's enough time for eye contact 😊

A fast powerful X-ray transient from tidal disruption of a white dwarf
Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be tore apart by strong tidal force, producing electromagnetic flares. Some 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been observed, involving invariably normal gaseous stars whose debris falls onto the BH fueling the flares over years. White dwarfs (WDs)-the most prevalent compact stars a million times denser and thus tougher than gaseous stars-can only be disrupted by intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) of 10^2-10^5 solar masses. WD-TDEs are predicted t…

Accelerating Dynamic Image Graph Construction on FPGA for Vision GNNs
Vision Graph Neural Networks (Vision GNNs, or ViGs) represent images as unstructured graphs, achieving state of the art performance in computer vision tasks such as image classification, object detection, and instance segmentation. Dynamic Image Graph Construction (DIGC) builds image graphs by connecting patches (nodes) based on feature similarity, and is dynamically repeated in each ViG layer following GNN based patch (node) feature updates. However, DIGC constitutes over 50% of end to end ViG…

Generalization Analysis for Classification on Korobov Space
In this paper, the classification algorithm arising from Tikhonov regularization is discussed. The main intention is to derive learning rates for the excess misclassification error according to the convex $η$-norm loss function $ϕ(v)=(1 - v)_{+}^η$, $η\geq1$. Following the argument, the estimation of error under Tsybakov noise conditions is studied. In addition, we propose the rate of $L_p$ approximation of functions from Korobov space $X^{2, p}([-1,1]^{d})$, $1\leq p \leq \infty$, by the s…

'Bigger, hotter, faster': Extreme blazes drive rise in CO₂ fire emissions
Rampant wildfires in the Americas drove a jump in global greenhouse gas emissions from fires in the year to February, new research found Thursday, warning that climate change was fanning the flames.

The Number of Parts in the (Distinct) Partitions With Parts From a Set
The number of parts in the partitions (resp. distinct partitions) of $n$ with parts from a set were considered. Its generating functions were obtained. Consequently, we derive several recurrence identities for the following functions: the number of prime divisors of $n$, $p$-adic valuation of $n$, the number of Carlitz-binary compositions of $n$ and the Hamming weight function. Finally, we obtain an asymptotic estimate for the number of parts in the partitions of $n$ with parts from a finite se…
