Holy Crap. Today's ride home was insane. My chain came off, had to pull over to fix it, simple, no issue. But then as I had to wait at a stoplight this pickup truck took off when the light turned green and these two bins slide right out the back onto the road! As the bins hit a box of nails explodes and these little nails with orange discs fly everywhere. (Stock photo included because it was such chaos I did not get a photo.)

Prompt Pirates Need a Map: Stealing Seeds helps Stealing Prompts
Diffusion models have significantly advanced text-to-image generation, enabling the creation of highly realistic images conditioned on textual prompts and seeds. Given the considerable intellectual and economic value embedded in such prompts, prompt theft poses a critical security and privacy concern. In this paper, we investigate prompt-stealing attacks targeting diffusion models. We reveal that numerical optimization-based prompt recovery methods are fundamentally limited as they do not accou…

AutoStub: Genetic Programming-Based Stub Creation for Symbolic Execution
Symbolic execution is a powerful technique for software testing, but suffers from limitations when encountering external functions, such as native methods or third-party libraries. Existing solutions often require additional context, expensive SMT solvers, or manual intervention to approximate these functions through symbolic stubs. In this work, we propose a novel approach to automatically generate symbolic stubs for external functions during symbolic execution that leverages Genetic Programmi…

Comecei nesse mundial de clubes torcendo para todos os times brasilieiros, seguidos pelos latinos, resto do mundo, europeus e estadunidenses (nesta ordem). Mas, quando chegou o jogo do Flamengo, todas as torcidas do Brasil torceram contra, então também me revoltei e vou dar o troco! Vai Chelsea, dš neles! rs

Tolle Frauen, toller Film -

Mädchen können kein Fußball spielen - hier anschauen
Dokumentarfilm Deutschland 2025 +++ Als Frauenfußball noch verboten war, schrieben mutige Spielerinnen in Ost und West Geschichte. Sie trotzten Verboten und Vorurteilen – und setzten sich durch. Der neue Dokumentarfilm von Torsten Körner erzählt von Pionierinnen wie Anne Trabant-Haarbach und Bärbel Wohlleben, die gegen den DFB, gesellschaftliche Normen und männliche Skepsis kämpften. In der BRD verboten, in der DDR belächelt – doch sie spielten, gründeten Teams und forderten Anerken…

A nice and positive read, thanks @… for sharing it!

Global Dynamics of the Non-Radial Energy-Critical Inhomogeneous Biharmonic NLS
We investigate the focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear biharmonic Schrödinger equation \[ i\partial_t u + Δ^2 u - |x|^{-b}|u|^p u = 0 \quad \text{on } \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^N, \] in the energy-critical regime, $p = \frac{8 - 2b}{N - 4}$, and $5 \leq N < 12$. We focus on the challenging non-radial setting and establish global well-posedness and scattering under the subcritical assumption $ \sup_{t \in I} \|Δu(t)\|_{L^2} < \|ΔW\|_{L^2}, $ where $W$ …

There are times when you're sitting on the toilet with tweezers in your hands, and suddenly realize what people would think if they saw you like that.
Also tweezers joined my everyday equipment. More convenient than nails.

Normalized ground states for NLS equations with mass critical nonlinearities
We study normalized solutions $(μ,u)\in \mathbb{R} \times H^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$ to nonlinear Schrödinger equations $$ -Δu + μu = g(u)\quad \hbox{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N, \qquad \frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N} u^2 dx = m, $$ where $N\geq 2$ and the mass $m>0$ is given. Here $g$ has an $L^2$-critical growth, both in the origin and at infinity, that is $g(s)\sim |s|^{p-1}s$ as $s\sim 0$ and $s\sim\infty$, where $p=1+\frac{4}{N}$. We continue the analysis started in [Cingolani-Gallo-Ikoma-Tan…
