Las Vegas Raiders' former head coach Jon Gruden with a new job in football
Not long ago, the Las Vegas Raiders ended another regime when Jon Gruden resigned from the Raiders on Oct. 11, 2021. Now, what happened is still being fought in court, so we will leave that out of the story, as most already know what happened or was said to have happened. But, it's no secret that the Raiders have had issues when it comes to keeping a coach or regime in place. One of the most historic franchises ever has had several different regimes, or coaches and general managers take over, o…

My Notion Blogging Kanban
Six years ago, I started a good blogging habit of writing down any idea I had as a draft post. This was a good practice because the idea was now out of my head and I wouldn’t stay up at night thinking about it. Over time that grew to about eighty posts in different states of completeness and it became overwhelming. 16,000+ words, terribly organized.

Full L- and M-band high resolution spectroscopy of the S CrA binary disks with VLT-CRIRES+
The Cryogenic IR echelle Spectrometer (CRIRES) instrument at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) was in operation from 2006 to 2014. Great strides in characterizing the inner regions of protoplanetary disks were made using CRIRES observations in the L- and M-band at this time. The upgraded instrument, CRIRES+, became available in 2021 and covers a larger wavelength range simultaneously. Here we present new CRIRES+ Science Verification data of the binary system S Coronae Australis (S CrA). We aim to …

Which draft picks do the 49ers own in 2024?
The San Francisco 49ers were awarded five compensatory selections in the 2024 NFL Draft to help offset the disparity between free-agency losses and gains from last year. This brings the team's total number of draft picks to 11. If you counted 12 there, more on that in a second. San Francisco's first selection comes at No. 31 overall in the first round. The 49ers have been without a first-round pick since the 2021 draft due to the valuable selections being part of the trade package to move up an…

With more than $40M available under the NFL's new salary cap, the Eagles can afford to add some big-name talent to their 2024 roster. Just not these guys. RB Austin Ekeler Ekeler’s Chargers career got off to a slow start after he went undrafted out of Western Colorado in 2017. Ekeler tallied just 1,901 yards and nine touchdowns in his first four seasons. But things changed in 2021 when he ran for 911 yards and 12 touchdowns, followed by 915 yards and 13 scores in 2022.

Hubble Space Telescope images of SN 1987A: Evolution of the ejecta and the equatorial ring from 2009 to 2022
Supernova (SN) 1987A offers a unique opportunity to study how a spatially resolved SN evolves into a young supernova remnant (SNR). We present and analyze Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging observations of SN 1987A obtained in 2022 and compare them with HST observations from 2009 to 2021. These observations allow us to follow the evolution of the equatorial ring (ER), the rapidly expanding ejecta, and emission from the center over a wide range in wavelength from 2000 to 11 000 AA. The ER has …

Motivated by the need for the rigorous analysis of the numerical stability of variational least-squares kernel-based methods for solving second-order elliptic partial differential equations, we provide previously lacking stability inequalities. This fills a significant theoretical gap in the previous work [Comput. Math. Appl. 103 (2021) 1-11], which provided error estimates based on a conjecture on the stability. With the stability estimate now rigorously proven, we complete the theoretical fou…

Lower Bounds for Kernel Density Estimation on Symmetric Spaces
We prove that kernel density estimation on symmetric spaces of non-compact type, whose L2-risk was bounded above in previous work (Asta,2021), in fact achieves a minimax rate of convergence. With this result, the story for kernel density estimation on all symmetric spaces is completed. The idea in adapting the proof for Euclidean space is to suitably abstract vector space operations on Euclidean space to both actions of symmetric groups and reparametrizations of Helgason-Fourier transforms and …
