California lawmakers made major changes to the state’s car-buying rules this year,
including a  controversial rewrite of the state law that allows buyers to get their money back if they are sold a defective vehicle
and a new right to return a used vehicle within three days.

Isomorphisms, Moduli, and Cohomological Dimension for Twisted Triangular Banach Algebras
We introduce and study twisted triangular Banach algebras T_sigma(A,B;X), built from Banach algebras A,B, a Banach A-B bimodule X, and a pair of automorphisms sigma=(sigma_A,sigma_B). This construction extends the classical triangular framework by incorporating twisted module actions on the off-diagonal block. We obtain a complete isomorphism classification: T_sigma is isomorphic to T_tau precisely when the diagonal twists are conjugate, the bimodule admits an (alpha,beta)-equivariant isomorphi…

The propaganda is so wild. When I was younger, they'd lie about things 20-30 years prior, with the assumption that people will have forgotten. Now they are constantly attempting to rewrite history that happened a mere 5 years ago, thinking that they're slick.
To quote Orwell: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

ResCP: Reservoir Conformal Prediction for Time Series Forecasting
Conformal prediction offers a powerful framework for building distribution-free prediction intervals for exchangeable data. Existing methods that extend conformal prediction to sequential data rely on fitting a relatively complex model to capture temporal dependencies. However, these methods can fail if the sample size is small and often require expensive retraining when the underlying data distribution changes. To overcome these limitations, we propose Reservoir Conformal Prediction (ResCP), a…

Crosschecking Cosmic Distances from DESI BAO and DES SNe Points to Systematics
We perform a consistency check of DESI DR2 BAO constraints ($D_M/r_d, D_H/r_d)$ by reconstructing the same quantities from DES supernovae (SNe) in bins with the same effective redshift $z_{\textrm{eff}}$. We find that the ratio of $D_M/r_d$ values are consistent with a horizontal, thus confirming that the distance duality relation holds up to calibration. However, the $D_H/r_d$ ratio shows a decreasing trend with $z_{\textrm{eff}}$ at $2.3 σ$ to $2.5 σ$ that cannot be explained by physics. We…

A lower bound on the minimum weight of some geometric codes
The $p$-ary code associated with the incidence structure of points and $t$-spaces in a projective space $\mathrm{PG}(m,q)$, where $q=p^h$, is the $\mathbb{F}_p$-subspace generated by the incidence vectors of the blocks of this design. The dual of this code consists of all vectors orthogonal to every codeword of the original code. In contrast to the codes derived from point-subspace incidences, the minimum weight of the corresponding dual codes is generally unknown, which makes the problem more …

“This is illegal. The occupation is illegal.” The International Court of Justice agrees, as has the United Nations, according to numerous resolutions passed starting in 1967. And yet now the Security Council has effectively given Israel’s occupation of Gaza the force of international law."
