On sums of $\mathscr{P}$-free forms under misère play
Milley and Renault proved an interesting characterisation of invertible elements in the dead-ending universe: they are the games with no subpositions of outcome $\mathscr{P}$ (the '$\mathscr{P}$-free' games). We generalise their approach to obtain a stronger result and show in particular that the set of $\mathscr{P}$-free blocking games is closed under addition, which yields that every $\mathscr{P}$-free blocking game is invertible modulo the blocking universe. This has consequences for the inv…

Mixed Fractional Information: Consistency of Dissipation Measures for Stable Laws
Symmetric alpha-stable (S alpha S) distributions with alpha<2 lack finite classical Fisher information. Building on Johnson's framework, we define Mixed Fractional Information (MFI) via the initial rate of relative entropy dissipation during interpolation between S alpha S laws with differing scales, v and s. We demonstrate two equivalent formulations for MFI in this specific S alpha S-to-S alpha S setting. The first involves the derivative D'(v) of the relative entropy between the two S alpha …

Searching for helium escape and a low density atmosphere around the 120 Myr old sub-Neptune HIP94235b using CRIRES+
Atmospheric mass loss is thought to induce the bimodality in the small planet population as we observe it today. Observationally, active mass loss can be traced by excess absorption in spectral lines of lighter species, such as the hydrogen Ly-alpha line and the metastable helium triplet. We search for helium escape from the young (120Myr old) sub-Neptune HIP94235b. We obtained two transit observations of HIP94235b using the CRyogenic InfraRed Echelle Spectrograph (CRIRES+) on the Very Large Te…

Searching for Dark Galaxies with HI detection from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey
We present a catalog of 142 dark galaxy candidates in a region covered by the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey. We start with 344 ALFALFA HI sources without optical counterparts and remove those that do not seem to have dark galaxy origin. To do that, we first eliminate 83 sources that are known HI clouds probably formed from tidal interactions between galaxies and 13 sources that have optical counterparts. We then remove 56 sources located near other HI sources, which are likely to be…

“For now, I’m planning on continuing to roll up my sleeves. I want to make things because I’m human and alive. I want to go on journeys and grow. I’m not always looking for an easy path, I want the friction. Because if I give up the journey, what am I really making? What do I actually learn?”

Block Alpha-Circulant Preconditioners for All-at-Once Diffusion-Based Covariance Operators
Covariance matrices are central to data assimilation and inverse methods derived from statistical estimation theory. Previous work has considered the application of an all-at-once diffusion-based representation of a covariance matrix operator in order to exploit inherent parallellism in the underlying problem. In this paper, we provide practical methods to apply block $α$-circulant preconditioners to the all-at-once system for the case where the main diffusion operation matrix cannot be readil…

The isostructural alpha-gamma phase transition in cerium from the perspective of meta-generalized gradient approximations
Meta-generalized gradient approximations (meta-GGAs) on the third rung of the functional hierarchy are gaining increasing relevance for the electronic structure. Meta-GGAs are constructed from numerous ingredients including the orbital kinetic energy density that make them more flexible than generalized gradient approximations (GGAs) including the heavily used PBE-GGA. Still, most meta-GGAs cope with the expected limitations of a semilocal density functional when band gaps or localization of el…

Making Firefox/Mozilla dependent on money from Google was a gigantic misstep. It should never have happened.
Firefox has become an alibi for Google against claims of monopolistic behavior. It is a repeat of how Bill Gates saved Apple except that Firefox seems to be on permanently boxed in by Google.
