Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹
"Bitto and Nannion of Samos will not go to the house of Cypris by the road the goddess ordains, but desert to other things which are not seemly. Îź Lady Cypris, look with hate on the fugitives from your bed."
Anthologia Graeca, Epigram 5.207
🏛 Mirror with women bathing before a statue of #Aphrodite

Gilt bronze mirror. The reverse is silvered. In the center is a large basin on a tapering pedestal. To the left, a nude woman with her hair wrapped in a cloth bends to pick up a water jar (kalpis) at the left. There are low bases or platforms below the kalpis and the basin. At the right, a nude woman with her hair pulled back tightly into a bun on the crown of her head leans on the basin with her left hand and pours oil into the basin from a bottle in her right. Behind her feet is an askos. …

Shill Bidding Prevention in Decentralized Auctions Using Smart Contracts
In online auctions, fraudulent behaviors such as shill bidding pose significant risks. This paper presents a conceptual framework that applies dynamic, behavior-based penalties to deter auction fraud using blockchain smart contracts. Unlike traditional post-auction detection methods, this approach prevents manipulation in real-time by introducing an economic disincentive system where penalty severity scales with suspicious bidding patterns. The framework employs the proposed Bid Shill Score (BS…

Two-Stage Bidirectional Inverter Equivalent Circuit Model for Distribution Grid Steady-State Analysis and Optimization
This paper presents a \textit{physics-based} steady-state equivalent circuit model of a two-stage bidirectional inverter. These inverters connect distributed energy resources (DERs), such as photovoltaic (PV) and battery systems, to distribution grids. Existing inverter models have technical gaps on three fronts: i) inadequate modeling of inverter losses, ii) use of mathematical abstractions for bidirectional flow of power, and iii) inability to integrate different control modes into nonlinear …

TARRANT: Right, that's it.
AVON: What does that mean?
TARRANT: If I'm going to die, I'd rather do it with a gun in my hand than sit around here shivering like an old woman.

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "I can see this is a scene featuring a character in a distinctive futuristic gray and white uniform with metallic studs or buttons along the chest. The costume has a military or space-faring aesthetic typical of science fiction television from this era. The setting appears to be aboard a spacecraft or space station, with dark metallic walls and what looks like technical equipment or control panels visible in the background. The lighting creates a dramat…

Optimal Dynamic Fees in Automated Market Makers

Optimal Dynamic Fees in Automated Market Makers
Automated Market Makers (AMMs) are emerging as a popular decentralised trading platform. In this work, we determine the optimal dynamic fees in a constant function market maker. We find approximate closed-form solutions to the control problem and study the optimal fee structure. We find that there are two distinct fee regimes: one in which the AMM imposes higher fees to deter arbitrageurs, and another where fees are lowered to increase volatility and attract noise traders. Our results also show…

PINDER: Egrorian.
EGRORIAN: They've broken the autocontrol and switched to manual. We've allowed for that.

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "This image shows a scene set in what appears to be the flight deck or control room of a spacecraft. The setting features a futuristic control console with various buttons, switches, and monitoring equipment typical of science fiction television production design from the late 1970s. Two crew members are visible - one in the foreground operating controls at the main console, wearing what appears to be a light-colored uniform, while another crew member c…
