Population Synthesis Study on the Binary Origin of Type Ibn Supernovae
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are a class of SN explosions whose progenitors are surrounded by dense helium-rich circumstellar matter (CSM). Some models have been proposed for how to form the dense CSM, with promising scenarios involving either binaries with a low-mass ($\lesssim 3~M_\odot$) helium (He) star, or mergers following common envelope phases between a He star and a compact object. Using rapid binary population synthesis calculations, we estimate the event rate of these channels and compa…

"the operations at the two new Laguna Street sites will be contracted out which means they will no longer be eligible to work with their clients."
Somehow, I get the feeling that the great minds behind this project fail to understand the importance of community and trust.

S.F. plans to move mentally ill adults draws protest
If the city has its way, all 83 residents will be moved to two facilities on Laguna Street in Hayes Valley.

Timing and spectral studies of SRGA J144459.2$-$604207 with NICER, Einstein Probe, IXPE, NuSTAR, Insight-HXMT and INTEGRAL during its 2024 outburst
SRGA J144459.2$-$604207 is a newly confirmed accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar and type I X-ray burster. We present the broadband X-ray timing and spectral behaviors of SRGA J144459.2$-$604207 during its 2024 outburst. The data were collected from NICER, Einstein Probe, IXPE, Insight-HXMT, NuSTAR and INTEGRAL observations. X-ray pulsations have been detected for the 1.5$-$90 keV energy range throughout the `ON' phase of the outburst from MJD $\sim 60355-60385$. We refined the orbital and spi…

Decay estimates for discrete bi-Laplace operators with potentials on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}$

Decay estimates for discrete bi-Laplace operators with potentials on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}$
It is known that the discrete Laplace operator $Δ$ on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}$ satisfies the following sharp time decay estimate: $$\big\|e^{itΔ}\big\|_{\ell^1\rightarrow\ell^{\infty}}\lesssim|t|^{-\frac{1}{3}},\quad t\neq0,$$ which is slower than the usual $ O(|t|^{-\frac{1}{2}})$ decay in the continuous case on $\mathbb{R}$. However, this paper shows that the discrete bi-Laplacian $Δ^2$ on $\mathbb{Z}$ actually exhibits the same sharp decay estimate $|t&#…

Kraken secures a MiCA license from the Central Bank of Ireland to offer crypto services across the EU, following Coinbase's approval in Luxembourg last week (Callan Quinn/Decrypt)

Kraken Becomes Latest to Win a License Under Europe's New Rules
Approval from Ireland's central bank gives Kraken the ability to operate across 27 EU states as it races to catch up to rival Coinbase.

The logic of hyperlinking in the era of social media:
- sure, you can link outside of our platform, but we'll proxy your link through our shortener so that you aren't exactly sure where you're going,
- everybody is confused where the hell they are going (and browsers amplify that nonsense by making address bars even dumber, showing barely anything except the top-level domain)
- oh, feeling too confused? Gotcha, we'll serve you additional screen showing "you're leaving our site, this is the exact link, are you sure?" so that you never run of mundane things to click at.
Reinventing the wheel for the millionth time, hell yeah.
(I have the same concern about those transition screens on Mastodon, but there's at least a tiny bit of logic behind that, especially with multiple different servers involved and stuff)

Exact static linear response of excited states from ensemble density functional theory
Following a recent work [E. Fromager, J. Phys. Chem. A 2025, 129, 4, 1143-1155] on the ensemble density functional theory (DFT) of excited electronic energy levels, we derive in this paper the ensuing static linear response theory, thus allowing for an in-principle exact evaluation of excited-state density-density linear response functions in a completely frequency-independent setting. Once individual-state components of the inverse ensemble linear response function have been introduced, a work…

Audio-Aware Large Language Models as Judges for Speaking Styles
Audio-aware large language models (ALLMs) can understand the textual and non-textual information in the audio input. In this paper, we explore using ALLMs as an automatic judge to assess the speaking styles of speeches. We use ALLM judges to evaluate the speeches generated by SLMs on two tasks: voice style instruction following and role-playing. The speaking style we consider includes emotion, volume, speaking pace, word emphasis, pitch control, and non-verbal elements. We use four spoken langu…
