And just to emphasize the point, we don’t use our car lightly.
We have gone on numerous road trips including from the Pacific to the Atlantic cross Canada in 2022. We have a hitch on the Kona that I use to pull a trailer for everthing from camping, to road trips, to hauling a yard of soil or rock.
We have certainly had some maintenance costs for the Kona. Some regular (brakes, after 150,000), checkups, 12V battery twice, etc. and some self inflicted (alignment and back shocks due to trailering). Visits to the dealer are your standard $500 to $2000 affair once a year. We have a second set of rims for the winter tires. We have bought 2 new sets of tires, one winter, one all season. The all seasons will be replaced after this summer.
The main battery was replaced under recall in February 2022 (before our road trip) at about 50,000km so we have a slightly newer battery than the car but not significantly, and we have not noticed any degradation in charge life.
On this day in 2022 we were visiting Wanuskewin, Saskatchewan just outside Saskatoon on our way back. We stopped to charge in Saskatoon, North Battleford, Lloydminster and Vegreville on the way to the West Edmonton Mall that day :)

In soccer, game context can result in skewing offensive statistics in ways that might misrepresent how well a team has played.

However, these statistics were largely accumulated when France was ahead and more willing to concede offensive initiative to England. To …

Practical colinear chaining on sequences revisited
Colinear chaining is a classical heuristic for sequence alignment and is widely used in modern practical aligners. Jain et al. (J. Comput. Biol. 2022) proposed an $O(n \log^3 n)$ time algorithm to chain a set of $n$ anchors so that the chaining cost matches the edit distance of the input sequences, when anchors are maximal exact matches. Moreover, assuming a uniform and sparse distribution of anchors, they provided a practical solution ($\mathtt{ChainX}$) working in $O(n \cdot \mathsf{SOL} + n …

Improving Student-AI Interaction Through Pedagogical Prompting: An Example in Computer Science Education
With the proliferation of large language model (LLM) applications since 2022, their use in education has sparked both excitement and concern. Recent studies consistently highlight students' (mis)use of LLMs can hinder learning outcomes. This work aims to teach students how to effectively prompt LLMs to improve their learning. We first proposed pedagogical prompting, a theoretically-grounded new concept to elicit learning-oriented responses from LLMs. To move from concept design to a proof-of-co…

Coco Gauff has reportedly split with coach Matthew Daly just days before the start of the US Open,
making another shakeup to her support team on the eve of the year’s final major.
The world No 3 and two-time major champion will continue to work with her longtime coach Jean-Christophe Faurel
but has added biomechanics specialist Gavin MacMillan to her corner.
MacMillan previously worked with Aryna Sabalenka, helping the world No 1 overcome her serving yips in 2022 and…

Q&A with Grindr CEO George Arison on developing AI-powered features like Wingman and A-List, Grindr's new telehealth service Woodwork, his RTO mandate, and more (J. Edward Moreno/Sherwood News)

Grindr built a wildly successful dating app. Will its push into AI finally get Wall Street's attention?
George Arison, who joined Grindr in 2022, says the company is leaning hard into AI and building “a half dozen or so” other businesses that are tangential to Grindr.

Straddling Two Platforms: From Twitter to Mastodon, an Analysis of the Evolution of an Unfinished Social Media Migration
Social media have been fundamental in the daily lives of millions of people, but they have raised concerns about content moderation policies, the management of personal data, and their commercial exploitation. The acquisition of Twitter (now X) by Elon Musk in 2022 generated concerns among Twitter users regarding changes in the platform's direction, prompting a migration campaign by some user groups to the federated network Mastodon. This study reviews the onboarding of users to this decentrali…

The orbital period and inclination of the neutron star X-ray transient MAXI J1807+132
The neutron star X-ray transient MAXI J1807+132 has undergone outbursts in 2017, 2019, and 2023. We conducted an $R$-band time series photometry campaign using the Isaac Newton Telescope during the 2022 quiescent state. We detected a periodic variation in the light curve, consistent with ellipsoidal modulation, which allowed us to determine an orbital period of $P_{\rm orb} = 4.258 \pm 0.008$ hr. By modelling the light curve, we obtained a binary inclination of $ i = 72\pm5 \, °$ and a mass ra…

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…
