Best feeling ever: traded in a tube condenser I haven't used in a decade and an old audio interface, and some other random crap for these.
Then freaked out when I noticed that they have a 300Ω impedance. BUT: turns out MBP will detect and switch at the headphone jack to drive them correctly 😲

"TikTok, Do Your Thing": User Reactions to Social Surveillance in the Public Sphere
'TikTok, Do Your Thing'' is a viral trend where users attempt to identify strangers they see in public via information crowd-sourcing. The trend started as early as 2021 and users typically engage with it for romantic purposes (similar to a ''Missed Connections'' personal advertisement). This practice includes acts of surveillance and identification in the public sphere, although by peers rather than governments or corporations. To understand users' reactions to this trend we conducted a quali�…

Slomads Rising: Stay Length Shifts in Digital Nomad Travel, United States 2019-2024
Using every U.S. Airbnb reservation created from 1 January 2019 through 31 December 2024, weighted by nights booked, we document a lasting shift toward longer stays after the COVID 19 shock. Mean nights per booking rose from 3.7 before the pandemic to a stable 4.1 to 4.4 after 2021; the median increased from two to three nights and the weighted standard deviation nearly doubled to seven nights, indicating a heavier tail. Negative binomial regression shows that, relative to the restriction perio…

Modeling Star Formation Histories of Changing-Look AGN Host Galaxies with Prospector
Changing-look active galactic nuclei, or CL-AGN, are AGN which appear to transition between Seyfert Type 1 and 2 over periods of months to years. Several mechanisms to trigger these transitions have been proposed, but we have yet to conclusively determine their cause. Recent studies suggest CL-AGN are hosted primarily in galaxies which are shutting down star formation (Dodd et al. 2021; Liu et al. 2021, Wang et al. 2023), which may indicate a link between galaxy quenching and changing look even…

Observations of Successive CMEs and their Successive Type II Solar Radio Bursts in the Corona
This paper reports the observations of two coronal shocks from two Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) for the Successive type II Solar radio bursts observed on 02 May 2021 in the frequency range of 80 - 1 MHz with the time interval of ~ 20 minutes between them. Both the bursts show clear band splitting features in the harmonic band. The estimated heights for the source of the first type II burst lies in the range of 2.06 - 2.93 R0 with the average speeds of 601 + or - 76, 700 + or - 91 a…

Detecting Narrative Shifts through Persistent Structures: A Topological Analysis of Media Discourse
How can we detect when global events fundamentally reshape public discourse? This study introduces a topological framework for identifying structural change in media narratives using persistent homology. Drawing on international news articles surrounding major events - including the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Feb 2022), the murder of George Floyd (May 2020), the U.S. Capitol insurrection (Jan 2021), and the Hamas-led invasion of Israel (Oct 2023) - we construct daily co-occurrence graphs of n…

RLZ-r and LZ-End-r: Enhancing Move-r
In pattern matching on strings, a locate query asks for an enumeration of all the occurrences of a given pattern in a given text. The r-index [Gagie et al., 2018] is a recently presented compressed self index that stores the text and auxiliary information in compressed space. With some modifications, locate queries can be answered in optimal time [Nishimoto & Tabei, 2021], which has recently been proven relevant in practice in the form of Move-r [Bertram et al., 2024].

Fast Learning of Optimal Policy Trees
We develop and implement a version of the popular "policytree" method (Athey and Wager, 2021) using discrete optimisation techniques. We test the performance of our algorithm in finite samples and find an improvement in the runtime of optimal policy tree learning by a factor of nearly 50 compared to the original version. We provide an R package, "fastpolicytree", for public use.

Dynamic Grid Trading Strategy: From Zero Expectation to Market Outperformance
We propose a profitable trading strategy for the cryptocurrency market based on grid trading. Starting with an analysis of the expected value of the traditional grid strategy, we show that under simple assumptions, its expected return is essentially zero. We then introduce a novel Dynamic Grid-based Trading (DGT) strategy that adapts to market conditions by dynamically resetting grid positions. Our backtesting results using minute-level data from Bitcoin and Ethereum between January 2021 and Ju…

Intermediate Respiratory Care Units (IRCUs) are vital during crises like COVID-19. This study evaluated clinical outcomes and operational dynamics of a new Spanish IRCU with specialized staffing. A prospective cohort study (April-August 2021) included 249 adult patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure (UHVN IRCU, Granada). Data on demographics, Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV), length of stay (LOS), and outcomes (ICU transfer, exitus, recovery) were analyzed. Patient flow was simulated using a …

Nonadiabatic Thouless pumping of electrons is studied within the framework of topological Floquet engineering, particularly focused on how atomic lattice dynamics affect the emergent Floquet topological phase in trans-polyacetylene under the driving electric field. As similarly done in the earlier work [Zhou and Kanai, J. Phys. Chem.

Decadal sink-source shifts of forest aboveground carbon since 1988
As enduring carbon sinks, forest ecosystems are vital to the terrestrial carbon cycle and help moderate global warming. However, the long-term dynamics of aboveground carbon (AGC) in forests and their sink-source transitions remain highly uncertain, owing to changing disturbance regimes and inconsistencies in observations, data processing, and analysis methods. Here, we derive reliable, harmonized AGC stocks and fluxes in global forests from 1988 to 2021 at high spatial resolution by integratin…
