I used to run a twitter bot that just trolled twitter for posts that said "best of both worlds" and retweeted them. What a great turn of a phrase.

Lower Bounds for the Large Deviations of Selberg's Central Limit Theorem
Let $δ>0$ and $σ=\frac{1}{2}+\tfracδ{\log T}$. We prove that, for any $α>0$ and $V\sim α\log \log T$ as $T\to\infty$, $\frac{1}{T}\text{meas}\big\{t\in [T,2T]: \log|ζ(σ+\rm{i} τ)|>V\big\}\geq C_α(δ)\int_V^\infty \frac{e^{-y^2/\log\log T}}{\sqrt{π\log\log T}} \rm{d} y,$ where $δ$ is large enough depending on $α$. The result is unconditional on the Riemann hypothesis. As a consequence, we recover the sharp lower bound for the moments on the critical line proved by Heap & So…

Benchmarking the Robustness of Temporal Action Detection Models Against Temporal Corruptions
Temporal action detection (TAD) aims to locate action positions and recognize action categories in long-term untrimmed videos. Although many methods have achieved promising results, their robustness has not been thoroughly studied. In practice, we observe that temporal information in videos can be occasionally corrupted, such as missing or blurred frames. Interestingly, existing methods often incur a significant performance drop even if only one frame is affected. To formally evaluate the robus…

Griffin: Mixing Gated Linear Recurrences with Local Attention for Efficient Language Models
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have fast inference and scale efficiently on long sequences, but they are difficult to train and hard to scale. We propose Hawk, an RNN with gated linear recurrences, and Griffin, a hybrid model that mixes gated linear recurrences with local attention. Hawk exceeds the reported performance of Mamba on downstream tasks, while Griffin matches the performance of Llama-2 despite being trained on over 6 times fewer tokens. We also show that Griffin can extrapolate on…

Mailbag: Would Zeke impact cap, running game?
I've heard that the Cowboys might be getting Ezekiel Elliott back. If so, how would he affect the salary cap? Also, how would he affect the team’s run game after losing Tyler Biadasz and Tyron Smith?
