The topic above is a prime example. There are two MAGA constituencies here — employers and workers — who think they’re about to get exactly opposite things. Both are going along with the ICE program because they think they’re the ones who will really get what they want in the end. At least one of them is going to get screwed over.

Presence (2024)
A couple and their children move into a seemingly normal suburban home. When strange events occur, they begin to believe there is something else in the house with them. The presence is about to disrupt their lives in unimaginable ways.

Eigenvalue bounds for preconditioned symmetric multiple saddle-point matrices
We develop eigenvalue bounds for symmetric, block tridiagonal multiple saddle-point linear systems, preconditioned with block diagonal matrices. We extend known results for $3 \times 3$ block systems [Bradley and Greif, IMA J.\ Numer. Anal. 43 (2023)] and for $4 \times 4$ systems [Pearson and Potschka, IMA J. Numer. Anal. 44 (2024)] to an arbitrary number of blocks. Moreover, our results generalize the bounds in [Sogn and Zulehner, IMA J. Numer. Anal. 39 (2018)], developed for an arbitrary numb…

Irreducible components of Toric Complete Intersections
An equivariant linear system on a toric variety is a linear system invariant under the torus action. We study the number of irreducible components of the complete intersection of general divisors from a fixed collection of equivariant linear system on a toric variety $X$. An explicit formula for the number of components was obtained by Khovanskii in 2016 for the case $X = T^n$ over $\mathbb C$ and generalized to an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic the author in 2024.

Improved Bounds on Access-Redundancy Tradeoffs in Quantized Linear Computations
Consider the problem of computing quantized linear functions with only a few queries. Formally, given $\mathbf{x}\in \mathbb{R}^k$, our goal is to encode $\mathbf{x}$ as $\mathbf{c} \in \mathbb{R}^n$, for $n > k$, so that for any $\mathbf{w} \in A^k$, $\mathbf{w}^T \mathbf{x}$ can be computed using at most $\ell$ queries to $\mathbf{c}$. Here, $A$ is some finite set; in this paper we focus on the case where $|A| = 2$. Prior work \emph{(Ramkumar, Raviv, and Tamo, Trans. IT, 2024)} ha…

All-sky search for individual Primordial Black Hole bursts with LHAASO
Primordial Black Holes~(PBHs) are hypothetical black holes with a wide range of masses that formed in the early universe. As a result, they may play an important cosmological role and provide a unique probe of the early universe. A PBH with an initial mass of approximately $10^{15}$~g is expected to explode today in a final burst of Hawking radiation. In this work, we conduct an all-sky search for individual PBH burst events using the data collected from March 2021 to July 2024 by the Water Che…

GL-LowPopArt: A Nearly Instance-Wise Minimax Estimator for Generalized Low-Rank Trace Regression
We present `GL-LowPopArt`, a novel Catoni-style estimator for generalized low-rank trace regression. Building on `LowPopArt` (Jang et al., 2024), it employs a two-stage approach: nuclear norm regularization followed by matrix Catoni estimation. We establish state-of-the-art estimation error bounds, surpassing existing guarantees (Fan et al., 2019; Kang et al., 2022), and reveal a novel experimental design objective, $\mathrm{GL}(π)$. The key technical challenge is controlling bias from the non…

Climatology of Mars Topside Ionosphere during Solar Cycles 24 and 25 using MAVEN Dataset of 2015-2024
The Mars ambient space environment evolves with the varying solar activity. Understanding the Martian space environment, particularly the topside ionosphere across different phases of Solar Cycles (SC) 24 \& 25 remains a key research gap in planetary ionospheric science. In this study, we utilized the NASA Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission data (150-500 km) from Martian years 32-38 (2015-2024) during solar quiet-time. This study investigated the behavior of topside ionosphe…

Doubling property of self-similar measures with overlaps
Recently, Yang, Yuan and Zhang [Doubling properties of self-similar measures and Bernoulli measures on self-affine Sierpinski sponges, Indiana Univ. Math.

F&O Expiry vs. First-Day SIPs: A 22-Year Analysis of Timing Advantages in India's Nifty 50
This study presents a comparative analysis of Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) performance in India's Nifty 50 index over a 22-year period (2003--2024), focusing on the timing of investments -- specifically, the first trading day (FTD) of each month versus the monthly expiry day of Futures and Options (EXP). The research establishes, through mathematical validation, that SIP returns are independent of the invested amount. Leveraging historical index data, the study finds that SIPs timed on F\&O…

Thoughts on Rust hashing
In languages like Python, Java, or C++, values are hashed by calling a “hash me” method on them, implemented by the type author. This fixed-hash size is then immediately used by the hash table or what have you. This design suffers from some obvious problems, like: How do you hash an integer? If you use a no-op hasher (booo), DoS attacks on hash tables are inevitable. If you hash it thoroughly, consumers that only cache hashes to optimize equality checks lose out of performance.

Simultaneous observations of multiple ELVES and SPRITES at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Since 2014, the Pierre Auger Observatory has exploited a dedicated trigger and its very high time resolution to study ELVES and harvest record samples of multiple ELVES using the Fluorescence Detector (FD). In 2017, after extending the readout of trace lengths to 0.9 ms, we started observing other types of light transients from the base of the ionosphere, such as HALOS, which deserved further investigation. In December 2023 and April 2024, we installed two additional cameras (TLECAMs), which al…
