Matching-star size Ramsey numbers under connectivity constraint
Recently, Caro, Patkós, and Tuza (2022) introduced the concept of connected Turán number. We study a similar parameter in Ramsey theory. Given two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, the size Ramsey number $\hat{r}(G_1,G_2)$ refers to the smallest number of edges in a graph $G$ such that for any red-blue edge-coloring of $G$, either a red subgraph $G_1$ or a blue subgraph $G_2$ is present in $G$. If we further restrict the host graph $G$ to be connected, we obtain the connected size Ramsey number, denote…

NFL Draft countdown: Focus on Cowboys' first-round pick at No. 24
The 2024 NFL Draft is April 25-27 in Detroit. Last year, the Giants selected cornerback Deonte Banks 24th overall. This year, the Cowboys pick 24th.  Here's who the experts think they'll take.

A medical retirement kept him off the field for two years until UCLA doctors cleared him to play in 2022. With the loss of defensive ends li…

Post-quantum cryptography is too damn big.
Large-scale quantum computers are capable of breaking all of the common forms of asymmetric cryptography used on the Internet today. Luckily, they don’t exist yet. The Internet-wide transition to post-quantum cryptography began in 2022 when NIST announced their final candidates for key exchange and signatures in the NIST PQC competition. There is plenty written about the various algorithms and standardization processes that are underway. The conventional wisdom is that it will take a long tim…

Manuel Ponce: Prelude Nr. 5 habe ich gestern gespielt. War in der Stimmung. Hier eine wie ich finde schöne aktuelle Einspielung von Anne Haasch. Hier finde ich das Tempo für Andante gut gewählt und auch durchgehalten. Habe auch schon viel langsamere Interpretationen dieses Stücks gehört, die mir zu schmalzig klingen. Auch zu starke Agogik (schneller und langsamer werden) finde ich nicht so angebracht. Ist vermutlich noch der Interpretationsschatten von Segovia.

Cycling on the Freeway: The Perilous State of Open Source Neuroscience Software
Most scientists need software to perform their research (Barker et al., 2020; Carver et al., 2022; Hettrick, 2014; Hettrick et al., 2014; Switters and Osimo, 2019), and neuroscientists are no exception. Whether we work with reaction times, electrophysiological signals, or magnetic resonance imaging data, we rely on software to acquire, analyze, and statistically evaluate the raw data we obtain - or to generate such data if we work with simulations. In recent years there has been a shift toward …

Tasks People Prompt: A Taxonomy of LLM Downstream Tasks in Software Verification and Falsification Approaches
Prompting has become one of the main approaches to leverage emergent capabilities of Large Language Models [Brown et al. NeurIPS 2020, Wei et al. TMLR 2022, Wei et al. NeurIPS 2022]. During the last year, researchers and practitioners have been playing with prompts to see how to make the most of LLMs. By homogeneously dissecting 80 papers, we investigate in deep how software testing and verification research communities have been abstractly architecting their LLM-enabled solutions.
