The impact of the following vehicles behaviors on the car following behaviors of the ego-vehicle
Among all types of crashes, rear-end crashes dominate, which are closely related to the car-following (CF) behaviors. Traditional CF behavior models focused on the influence of the vehicle in front, but usually ignored the peer pressure from the surrounding road users, including the following vehicle (FV). Based on an open dataset, the highD dataset, we investigated whether the FV's states can affect the CF behavior of the ego-vehicle in CF events. Two types of CF events were extracted from hig…

@… Just wanted to let you know that Captain Hikaru Sulu is currently making a guest appearance in our Lost Era Star Trek TTRPG. He came up as one of three persons, unusually interested in the ongoings of the court-martial for following orders (read: being framed) of the First Officer of our unit, the USS Sato. 😀

recline into your evening with last night's frow show on @…, peaceful uneasy feelings for a hot stupid summer, including new sounds by terry riley, marshall allen, jonathan richman, joseph allred, steve gunn, alan bishop, bob dylan & barbra streisand, & more.

Weak solutions for coupled reaction-diffusion systems with pattern formation by a stochastic fixed point theorem
Chemical and biochemical reactions can exhibit surprisingly different behaviours, ranging from multiple steady-state solutions to oscillatory solutions and chaotic behaviours. These types of systems are often modelled by a system of reaction-diffusion equations coupled by a nonlinearity. In the article, we study the existence of stochastically perturbed equations of this type. In particular, we show the existence of a probabilitic weak solution of the following stochastic system \begin{align*} …

Hierarchical Retrieval with Evidence Curation for Open-Domain Financial Question Answering on Standardized Documents
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) based large language models (LLMs) are widely used in finance for their excellent performance on knowledge-intensive tasks. However, standardized documents (e.g., SEC filing) share similar formats such as repetitive boilerplate texts, and similar table structures. This similarity forces traditional RAG methods to misidentify near-duplicate text, leading to duplicate retrieval that undermines accuracy and completeness. To address these issues, we propose the …

here’s what look to be newish sidewalk trees, 2 of them, on Capp in front of Alioto Park.
I have mixed feelings. Capp’s sidewalks are a miserly 9’ while the roadway is much too wide. Now when SF widens the sidewalk, these trees will be obstructions in the middle of it. We need to legalize planting trees in the parking lane

Stellar populations in STARFORGE II: Comparison with observations
Recent studies suggest that most star-forming regions in our Galaxy form stellar associations rather than bound clusters. We analyse models from the STARFORGE simulation suite, a set of magneto-hydrodynamical simulations that include all key stellar feedback and radiative processes following star formation through cloud dispersal. We create synthetic observations by introducing observational biases such as random spurious measurements, unresolved binaries, and photometric sensitivity. These bia…

Summary Report of the Physics Beyond Colliders Study at CERN
The Physics Beyond Collider (PBC) Study Group was initially mandated by the CERN Management to prepare the previous European Particle Physics Strategy Update for CERN projects other than the high-energy frontier colliders. The main findings were summarized in an PBC Summary Report submitted to the Strategy Update. Following the Update process, the PBC Study Group was confirmed on a permanent basis with an updated mandate taking into account the strategy recommendations. The Study Group is now i…

A highly sensitive SF$_6$-based leak test system for JUNO 3-inch PMT underwater electronics boxes
A total of 25600 3-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), along with their corresponding frontend electronics, have been installed at the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). These electronics are housed in 200 stainless steel boxes that operate underwater. To verify the sealing integrity of the underwater boxes following integration, we developed an SF$_6$-based leak test system, opting against the typical helium-based system due to helium's ability to penetrate the PMT glass. After a…

When I worked at an agency, I frequently worked with this one front-end dev. We had the following exchange several times:
Her: Hey Crell, the client wants to do X. How long would that take?
Me: What? X is impossible, there's no logical way to do it.
Me: Well, I suppose we could blah blah, but that would be super complicated.
Me: Hm, but what if I blah blah?
Me: Hang on a sec, let me check something.
<10 min later>
Me: OK, I just did it.
