The Intel 80186 was to the Intel 8086 what the 68010 was to the 68000: a small improvement that almost made it into the original design but was issued as a different chip… and almost nobody used them, and waited for the 80286/68020 instead.

Block Coordinate Descent Network Simplex for Optimal Transport
We propose the Block Coordinate Descent Network Simplex (BCDNS) method for solving large-scale discrete Optimal Transport (OT) problems. BCDNS integrates the Network Simplex (NS) algorithm with a block coordinate descent (BCD) strategy, decomposing the full problem into smaller subproblems per iteration and reusing basis variables to ensure feasibility. We prove that BCDNS terminates in a finite number of iterations with an exact optimal solution, and we characterize its per-iteration complexit…

Disentangled representations of microscopy images
Microscopy image analysis is fundamental for different applications, from diagnosis to synthetic engineering and environmental monitoring. Modern acquisition systems have granted the possibility to acquire an escalating amount of images, requiring a consequent development of a large collection of deep learning-based automatic image analysis methods. Although deep neural networks have demonstrated great performance in this field, interpretability, an essential requirement for microscopy image an…

Metric weak proper discontinuity for pseudo-Anosov maps
We present a metric version of weak proper discontinuity (WPD) for pseudo-Anosov maps on surfaces. As an application, we show that there are plenty of quasi-morphisms on the homeomorphism group of a torus or a hyperbolic surface that are unbounded on certain homeomorphisms with large fixed set.

With Arc being discontinued, I guess it's time to move over to the Zen browser. Has similar vibes but missing some features like smart folders.
