A randomized lattice rule without component-by-component construction
We study the multivariate integration problem for periodic functions from the weighted Korobov space in the randomized setting. We introduce a new randomized rank-1 lattice rule with a randomly chosen number of points, which avoids the need for component-by-component construction in the search for good generating vectors while still achieving nearly the optimal rate of the randomized error. Our idea is to exploit the fact that at least half of the possible generating vectors yield nearly the op…

What's happening in your neighborhood? A Weakly Supervised Approach to Detect Local News
Local news articles are a subset of news that impact users in a geographical area, such as a city, county, or state. Detecting local news (Step 1) and subsequently deciding its geographical location as well as radius of impact (Step 2) are two important steps towards accurate local news recommendation. Naive rule-based methods, such as detecting city names from the news title, tend to give erroneous results due to lack of understanding of the news content. Empowered by the latest development in…

Randomness in atomic disorder and consequent squandering of spin-polarization in a ferromagnetically fragile quaternary Heusler alloy FeRuCrSi
Ru$_{2-x}$Fe$_x$CrSi ( 0 $<$ x $<$1) system is theoretically predicted to be one of the very few known examples of robust half-metallic ferromagnet with 100\% spin polarization. Since Cr is considered to be the main contributor to magnetism, the Fe/Ru substitution is not expected to disturb its magnetic properties any significantly, and hence all Fe-containing members of the series are predicted to follow Slater-Pauling rule with a saturation magnetic moment of 2 ${μ_B}$/f.u. However, contrari…

Own a pool in Southern California? New air quality rule requires electric water heaters
In one of the biggest moves to reduce air pollution in the past decade, Southern California air regulators on Friday adopted a rule that will require pool and hot tub owners to go electric.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District’s governing board voted 9-1 to effectively phase out certain kinds of natural-gas-fired water-heating equipment in homes and businesses across its four-coun…

New Southern California rule requires electric water heaters for pools
The landmark rule from South Coast AQMD would phase out more than 1 million natural gas-powered appliances, including those that heat swimming pools and hot tubs, and require them to be replaced with electric water heaters.

The very fact we have to say “vote against fascism” is a damning indictment of the failure of our democratic institutions and the rule of law. You shouldn’t be able to vote FOR fascism. Democracies that lack constitutional safeguards against fascism will, eventually, stop being democracies. When? At the last election. The one that elected the fascists. Democracy cannot tolerate fascism. Tolerance cannot tolerate intolerance. I’m afraid this is a lesson we will learn the hard way. Again.

The first rule of #Cornhole is—
Oh, FFS, Dave, grow up. 🤣

A bankruptcy judge orders the liquidation of Alex Jones' personal assets but dismisses for now the bankruptcy case against the company that runs Infowars (Associated Press)

Alex Jones’ assets to be sold to help pay Sandy Hook lawsuit debt
A federal judge has ordered the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones′ personal assets and was still deciding on his company’s separate bankruptcy case. The decision could determine the future of his Infowars media platform, as Jones owes $1.5 billion for his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax. Judge Christopher Lopez approved converting Jones’ proposed personal bankruptcy reorganization to a liquidation. He was still set to rule Friday on wheth…

US supreme court strikes down federal ban on ‘bump stock’ devices for guns
The court’s ruling in Garland v Cargill nullifies the Trump administration’s 2018 regulationfrom the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)
which ordered anyone who owned a bump stock to destroy it or hand it over to federal agents.
The rule was passed after the devastating 2017 mass shooting at a music festival in Las Vegas, in which a gunman fired more than 1,000 rounds, killin…

Memory Complexity of Entropy Estimation
We observe an infinite sequence of independent identically distributed random variables $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ drawn from an unknown distribution $p$ over $[n]$, and our goal is to estimate the entropy $H(p)=-\mathbb{E}[\log p(X)]$ within an $\varepsilon$-additive error. To that end, at each time point we are allowed to update a finite-state machine with $S$ states, using a possibly randomized but time-invariant rule, where each state of the machine is assigned an entropy estimate. Our goal is to cha…

Spin-lattice relaxation with non-linear couplings: Comparison between Fermi's golden rule and extended dissipaton equation of motion
Fermi's golden rule (FGR) offers an empirical framework for understanding the dynamics of spin-lattice relaxation in magnetic molecules, encompassing mechanisms like direct (one-phonon) and Raman (two-phonon) processes. These principles effectively model experimental longitudinal relaxation rates, denoted as $T_1^{-1}$. However, under scenarios of increased coupling strength and nonlinear spin-lattice interactions, FGR's applicability may diminish. This paper numerically evaluates the exact spi…

Dissipative Superfluidity in a Molecular Bose-Einstein Condensate
Motivated by recent experimental realization of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of dipolar molecules, we develop superfluid transport theory for a dissipative BEC to show that a weak uniform two-body loss can induce phase rigidity, leading to superfluid transport of bosons. A generalized f-sum rule is shown to hold for a dissipative superfluid as a consequence of weak U(1) symmetry. It is also demonstrated that dissipation enhances the stability of a molecular BEC with dipolar interactions. Po…

A Novel Perspective on Ideal Chern Bands with Strong Short-Range Repulsion: Applications to Correlated Metals, Superconductivity, and Topological Order
Motivated by recent experiments on twisted van der Waals materials, we perform an analytical and numerical study of the effects of strong on-site and short-range interactions in fractionally filled ideal Chern bands. We uncover an extensive non-trivial ground state manifold within the band filling range $0 < ν< 1$ and introduce a general principle, the ''three-rule'', for combining flatband wave functions, which governs their zero-energy property on the torus geometry. Based on the structure o…

Frame-Wise Breath Detection with Self-Training: An Exploration of Enhancing Breath Naturalness in Text-to-Speech
Developing Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems that can synthesize natural breath is essential for human-like voice agents but requires extensive manual annotation of breath positions in training data. To this end, we propose a self-training method for training a breath detection model that can automatically detect breath positions in speech. Our method trains the model using a large speech corpus and involves: 1) annotation of limited breath sounds utilizing a rule-based approach, and 2) iterative au…
