Day 6: Kamome Shirahama
Before I wander much father afield, I'd be remiss not to include at least one Mangaka (I've got 8 on my planning list; if you think Manga is pushing it just wait until you see what the next few days have in store).
I'm currently following "Witch Hat Atelier," and it's absolutely amazing in several dimensions: first class world-building, deep philosophical themes, nuanced diverse cast, tightly-constructed interwoven plots, deep mysteries that keep everything churning and show up in unexpected places, absolutely stellar art both in terms of in-panel depictions and page layouts (some are Watchmen-quality), especially if you are sartorially inclined, and general kindness of its core messages. This is a series I wish every programmer would read, because it includes excellent advice about software design in multiple ways (did I mention there's an intricate and logical magic system within which the main character innovates in legible-to-the-reader-as-innovation ways?). Also, I bet I would have enjoyed this just a much as a 10-year-old as I'm enjoying it in my 30's, which is something that takes well-honed skill to pull off.
Shirahama is a master of her craft, and I'm honestly kinda surprised to see Witch Hat is only her second series. Definitely thinking how I can get my hands on her earlier work in English.

Feeling absolutely rubbish this morning. It's beautiful weather, I should be doing joinery on the north end of the new workshop, I want to be writing philosophy, I don't think I have the energy to do either.
I don't like being old.

I've always been a critic of "Stoicism for the military" events and talks. I think the military often abuses a philosophy whose core aspects include cosmopolitanism and that pushes people to do the right thing, especially against power.
But I am ready to be proved wrong by all the guys filling Ryan Holiday's rooms, standing up for "justice" against bombing fishermen in the Caribbean.
Any minute now.

Investigation of tantalum films growth for coplanar resonators with internal quality factors above ten million
Alpha-tantalum on silicon is a promising platform for high-coherence superconducting quantum circuits. However, the growth mechanism of alpha-tantalum on silicon remains poorly understood. We present a comprehensive study on alpha-tantalum films growth on various substrate. The decisive role of a substrate material Debye temperature on phase selection mechanism in tantalum films growth is experimentally confirmed, contradicting the prior assumptions on substrate temperature influence. Crucially…

MultiPark: Multimodal Parking Transformer with Next-Segment Prediction
Parking accurately and safely in highly constrained spaces remains a critical challenge. Unlike structured driving environments, parking requires executing complex maneuvers such as frequent gear shifts and steering saturation. Recent attempts to employ imitation learning (IL) for parking have achieved promising results. However, existing works ignore the multimodal nature of parking behavior in lane-free open space, failing to derive multiple plausible solutions under the same situation. Notab…

Violent mergers can explain the inflated state of some of the fastest stars in the Galaxy
A significant number of hypervelocity stars with velocities between $1500-2500$ km/s have recently been observed. The only plausible explanation so far is that they have been produced through thermonuclear supernovae in white dwarf binaries. Since these stars are thought to be surviving donors of Type Ia supernovae, a surprising finding was that these stars are inflated, with radii an order of magnitude more than expected for Roche-lobe filling donors. Recent attempts at explaining them have co…
