At last, we have a cure for all!
Ailments large and ailments small,
Good health is not beyond my reach,
If I inject myself with bleach.
Radiant, I’ll prance along,
Every trace of limescale gone,
With disinfectant as my friend,
Like him,
I’m clean around the bend.

It was a sweet spring day, and just before they went into bloom you could hear all the almond trees say, "I'm gonna nut! I'm gonna nut!"

Last thing to do today accomplished: got the Allen&Heath CQ-12T mixer's firmware updated and now it works like it's supposed to under Linux. No more distortion/audio corruption which makes me happy. Absolutely love this mixer, but I hated having to wait for those kinds of issues to get fixed.

Mallows Model with Learned Distance Metrics: Sampling and Maximum Likelihood Estimation
\textit{Mallows model} is a widely-used probabilistic framework for learning from ranking data, with applications ranging from recommendation systems and voting to aligning language models with human preferences~\cite{chen2024mallows, kleinberg2021algorithmic, rafailov2024direct}. Under this model, observed rankings are noisy perturbations of a central ranking $σ$, with likelihood decaying exponentially in distance from $σ$, i.e, $P (π) \propto \exp\big(-β\cdot d(π, σ)\big),$ where $β> 0…
