A Complete Finite Axiomatisation of the Equational Theory of Common Meadows
We analyse abstract data types that model numerical structures with a concept of error. Specifically, we focus on arithmetic data types that contain an error value $\bot$ whose main purpose is to always return a value for division. To rings and fields, we add a division operator $x/y$ and study a class of algebras called common meadows wherein $x/0 = \bot$. The set of equations true in all common meadows is named the equational theory of common meadows. We give a finite equational axiomatisatio…

In Brazilian Portuguese there are a number of hesitation and filler words.
A common hesitation sounds like "eh" could written "é..." and could mean "it is....".
Another one sounds like "ee", could be written "e..." meaning "and..."
Some speakers insert the word "tipo" (sounds like "TEEpo") which is a relatively recent slang that means "like".
Another common inserted word, …

Chain of trust: Unraveling the references among Common Criteria certified products
With 5394 security certificates of IT products and systems, the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation have bred an ecosystem entangled with various kind of relations between the certified products. Yet, the prevalence and nature of dependencies among Common Criteria certified products remains largely unexplored. This study devises a novel method for building the graph of references among the Common Criteria certified products, determining the different contexts of refer…

Common neighborhood energies and their relations with Zagreb index
In this paper we establish connections between common neighborhood Laplacian and common neighborhood signless Laplacian energies and the first Zagreb index of a graph $\mathcal{G}$. We introduce the concepts of CNL-hyperenergetic and CNSL-hyperenergetic graphs and showed that $\mathcal{G}$ is neither CNL-hyperenergetic nor CNSL-hyperenergetic if $\mathcal{G}$ is a complete bipartite graph. We obtain certain relations between various energies of a graph. Finally, we conclude the paper with sever…

There’s actually two fundamentally different types of tech hype:
1. Works
2. Doesn’t work
Both normally have in common that they turn out to not be very useful while having serious, dealbraking drawbacks.
For example:
- VR/AR is 1. (isolating and uncomfortable, makes people sick, lack of “killer app”)
- LLM’s are 2. (lying, produce mediocre output, definitely not intelligent, unsustainably expensive to run)

On a precessing jet-nozzle scenario with a common helical trajectory-pattern for blazar 3C345
The kinematics and flux evolution of the superluminal knots in blazar 3C345 were interpreted in the framework of the precessing jet-nozzle scenario with a precessing common helical trajectory-pattern. We show that the jet in 3C345 precesses with a period of 7.3yr and the superluminal knots move consistently along a precessing common helical trajectory-pattern in their inner jet regions, which can extend to core distances of about 1.2mas or traveled distances of about 300pc (for knots C4 and C9)…

Training Data for the Price of a Sandwich: Common Crawl’s Impact on Generative AI
Mozilla research finds that Common Crawl's outsized role in the generative AI boom has improved transparency and competition, but is also contributing to biased and opaque generative AI models.
