One thing that's bothered me about the aftermath of the loss at Stamford Bridge is the punditry acting like Cucurella's comment that they targeted the space behind Salah shows some sort of tactical brilliance by Maresca.
Literally EVERY team flings diagonal balls into space on that flank, a known risk and a calculation that Salah's lethality will negate a willingness for the LB to go forward and join the attack.
The real story is that he's not been dangerous and c…

Even if “AI” worked (it doesn’t), there’s many reasons why you shouldn’t use it:
1. It’s destroying Internet sites that you love as you use chat bots instead of actually going to sources of information—this will cause them to be less active and eventually shut down.
2. Pollution and water use from server farms cause immediate harm; often—just like other heavy industry—these are built in underprivileged communities and harming poor people. Without any benefits as the big tech companies get tax breaks and don’t pay for power, while workers aren’t from the community but commute in.
3. The basic underlying models of any LLM rely on stolen data, even when specific extra data is obtained legally. Chatbots can’t learn to speak English just by reading open source code.
4. You’re fueling a speculation bubble that is costing many people their jobs—because the illusion of “efficiency” is kept up by firing people and counting that as profit.
5. Whenever you use the great cheat machine in the cloud you’re robbing yourself from doing real research, writing or coding—literally atrophying your brain and making you stupider.
It’s a grift, through and through.

Some new results on $Δ$-spaces
A topological space $X$ is a $Δ$-space (or $X \in Δ$) if for any decreasing sequence $\{A_n : n < ω\}$ of subsets of $X$ with empty intersection there is a (decreasing) sequence $\{U_n : n < ω\}$ of open sets with empty intersection such that $A_n \subset U_n$ for all $n < ω$. In this note we prove the following results concerning $Δ$-spaces. 1) Every $T_3$ countably compact $Δ$-space is compact. 2) If there is a $T_1$ crowded Baire $Δ$-space then there is an inner model with a meas…

Non-self-adjoint sixth-order eigenvalue problems arising from clamped elastic thin films on closed domains
Sixth-order boundary value problems (BVPs) arise in thin-film flows with a surface that has elastic bending resistance. We consider the case in which the elastic interface is clamped at the lateral walls of a closed trough and thus encloses a finite amount of fluid. For a slender film undergoing infinitesimal deformations, the displacement of the elastic surface from its initial equilibrium position obeys a sixth-order (in space) initial boundary value problem (IBVP). To solve this IBVP, we con…

Rescaling of unconditional Schauder frames in Hilbert spaces and completely bounded maps
We prove that if every element $u$ in a Hilbert space $H$ admits a representation as unconditionally convergent series $$u=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \langle u, y_k\rangle x_k,$$ then there exist nonzero scalars $\{α_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ such that both sequences $\{α_k x_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ and $\{\overlineα_k^{-1}y_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ are frames. Our result has the following equivalent reformulation: if $Φ:\ell^\infty\to B(H)$ is a bounded linear map such that for every element of the unit vector basis $e…

Solutions of the spray flamelet equations in a non-monotonic mixture fraction space
Solving the spray flamelet equations in composition space is very challenging, which is attributable to the fact that the maximum value of the mixture fraction, $Z_\mathrm{max}$, is a priori unknown in such flames. In this work, an analytical solution for this quantity is proposed, which allows its determination in spray flames subject to imposed quadratic evaporation profiles. It is then illustrated how the proposed approach allows to effectively cover the solution space of the spray flamelet …

Study warns climate leadership falling short in New Zealand #NewZealand

Study warns climate leadership falling short in New Zealand
New Zealand leaders favor small, incremental changes in response to escalating climate impacts rather than the bold changes needed to make a real difference, according to research by University of Auckland academic Dr. Sasha Maher and Professor Brad Jackson (University of Waikato).

1,000 Swiss glaciers already gone, and the melting is speeding up #Switzerland

1,000 Swiss glaciers already gone, and the melting is speeding up
Swiss glaciers lost nearly 3% of their volume in 2025, following a snow-poor winter and scorching summer heatwaves. The melt has been so extreme that some glaciers lost more than two meters of ice thickness in a single season. Scientists caution that the decline is destabilizing mountains, raising risks of rock and ice avalanches. Long-term monitoring efforts are now more critical than ever.
