Higher differentiability for solutions to stationary $p$-Stokes systems under sub-quadratic growth conditions
We consider weak solutions $(u,π):\mathbb{R}^n\supsetΩ\to\ \mathbb{R}^n\times\ \mathbb{R}$ to stationary $p$-Stokes systems of the type \[ \begin{cases} -\mathrm{div} (a(\mathcal{E} u))+\nablaπ=f \\ \mathrm{div}(u)=0, \end{cases} \] in $Ω,$ where the function $a(ξ)$ satisfies $p$-growth conditions in $ξ$. By $\mathcal{E} u$ we denote the symmetric part of the gradient $Du$. In this setting, we establish results on the fractional higher differentiability of both the symmetric part of the…

Causal Effect Identification in lvLiNGAM from Higher-Order Cumulants
This paper investigates causal effect identification in latent variable Linear Non-Gaussian Acyclic Models (lvLiNGAM) using higher-order cumulants, addressing two prominent setups that are challenging in the presence of latent confounding: (1) a single proxy variable that may causally influence the treatment and (2) underspecified instrumental variable cases where fewer instruments exist than treatments.

Adjusting Higher Chern-Simons Theory
A fundamental problem in formulating higher Chern-Simons theories is the construction of a consistent higher gauge theory that circumvents the fake-flatness constraint. Here, we propose a solution to this problem using adjusted higher connections. In particular, we shall demonstrate that there is an obstruction to constructing such action functionals since, generically, adjusted higher gauge algebras do not admit an inner product. To overcome this obstruction, we introduce half-adjusted higher …

If you're trying to do the trick that was shared for #nintendoswitch2 where you can use a USB HDMI capture dongle HDMI to USB-C cable to use your iPhone as a camera - don't use the True Visage app mentioned in the video
That will rely on screen sharing mirroring and you'll potentially get an aspect ratio mismatch and see the dynamic island floating in your view
I'd personally suggest the free "Blackmagic Camera" app instead, and then go to:
Settings->Monitor->HDMI Out
Switch from Mirror Display to Video Feed and it will cleanly output your camera. Works for a Lightning to HDMI out adapter for older phones, too
Then just tap on Lense and FPS and pick which combo you like.
Also, if you're not getting any output signal make sure the capture dongle you're using supports 1080p out - not sure the Switch 2 supports anything higher as camera input

So I've found my answer after maybe ~30 minutes of effort. First stop was the first search result on Startpage (https://millennialhawk.com/does-poop-have-calories/), which has some evidence of maybe-AI authorship but which is better than a lot of slop. It actually has real links & cites research, so I'll start by looking at the sources.
It claims near the top that poop contains 4.91 kcal per gram (note: 1 kcal = 1 Calorie = 1000 calories, which fact I could find/do trust despite the slop in that search). Now obviously, without a range or mention of an average, this isn't the whole picture, but maybe it's an average to start from? However, the citation link is to a study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32235930/) which only included 27 people with impaired glucose tolerance and obesity. Might have the cited stat, but it's definitely not a broadly representative one if this is the source. The public abstract does not include the stat cited, and I don't want to pay for the article. I happen to be affiliated with a university library, so I could see if I have access that way, but it's a pain to do and not worth it for this study that I know is too specific. Also most people wouldn't have access that way.
Side note: this doing-the-research protect has the nice benefit of letting you see lots of cool stuff you wouldn't have otherwise. The abstract of this study is pretty cool and I learned a bit about gut microbiome changes from just reading the abstract.
My next move was to look among citations in this article to see if I could find something about calorie content of poop specifically. Luckily the article page had indicators for which citations were free to access. I ended up reading/skimming 2 more articles (a few more interesting facts about gut microbiomes were learned) before finding this article whose introduction has what I'm looking for: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3127503/
Here's the relevant paragraph:
"""
The alteration of the energy-balance equation, which is defined by the equilibrium of energy intake and energy expenditure (1–5), leads to weight gain. One less-extensively-studied component of the energy-balance equation is energy loss in stools and urine. Previous studies of healthy adults showed that ≈5% of ingested calories were lost in stools and urine (6). Individuals who consume high-fiber diets exhibit a higher fecal energy loss than individuals who consume low-fiber diets with an equivalent energy content (7, 8). Webb and Annis (9) studied stool energy loss in 4 lean and 4 obese individuals and showed a tendency to lower the fecal energy excretion in obese compared with lean study participants.
"""
And there's a good-enough answer if we do some math, along with links to more in-depth reading if we want them. A Mayo clinic calorie calculator suggests about 2250 Calories per day for me to maintain my weight, I think there's probably a lot of variation in that number, but 5% of that would be very roughly 100 Calories lost in poop per day, so maybe an extremely rough estimate for a range of humans might be 50-200 Calories per day. Interestingly, one of the AI slop pages I found asserted (without citation) 100-200 Calories per day, which kinda checks out. I had no way to trust that number though, and as we saw with the provenance of the 4.91 kcal/gram, it might not be good provenance.
To double-check, I visited this link from the paragraph above: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022316622169853?via=ihub
It's only a 6-person study, but just the abstract has numbers: ~250 kcal/day pooped on a low-fiber diet vs. ~400 kcal/day pooped on a high-fiber diet. That's with intakes of ~2100 and ~2350 kcal respectively, which is close to the number from which I estimated 100 kcal above, so maybe the first estimate from just the 5% number was a bit low.
Glad those numbers were in the abstract, since the full text is paywalled... It's possible this study was also done on some atypical patient group...
Just to come full circle, let's look at that 4.91 kcal/gram number again. A search suggests 14-16 ounces of poop per day is typical, with at least two sources around 14 ounces, or ~400 grams. (AI slop was strong here too, with one including a completely made up table of "studies" that was summarized as 100-200 grams/day). If we believe 400 grams/day of poop, then 4.91 kcal/gram would be almost 2000 kcal/day, which is very clearly ludicrous! So that number was likely some unrelated statistic regurgitated by the AI. I found that number in at least 3 of the slop pages I waded through in my initial search.

Refinements on higher order Weil-Oesterlé bounds via a Serre type argument
Weil's theorem gives the most standard bound on the number of points of a curve over a finite field. This bound was improved by Ihara and Oesterlé for larger genus. Recently, Hallouin and Perret gave a new point of view on these bounds, that can be obtained by solving a sequence of semi-definite programs, and the two first steps of this hierarchy recover Weil's and Ihara's bounds. On the other hand, by taking into account arithmetic constraints, Serre obtained a refinement on Weil's bound. In …

In particular, the initial data can be arbitrarily large and the regularity of solutions is stronger than Lions-Feireisl's weak solutions with general finite-energy initial data.

This resolves a question raised in recent groundbreaking work of Amrutam, Gao, Kunnawalkam Elayavalli, and Patchell, in which they exhibited a large class of finitely generated non-amenable groups satisfying these properties. Our proof relies on qua…

Enduring Disparities in the Workplace: A Pilot Study in the AI Community
In efforts toward achieving responsible artificial intelligence (AI), fostering a culture of workplace transparency, diversity, and inclusion can breed innovation, trust, and employee contentment. In AI and Machine Learning (ML), such environments correlate with higher standards of responsible development. Without transparency, disparities, microaggressions and misconduct will remain unaddressed, undermining the very structural inequities responsible AI aims to mitigate. While prior work invest…

A monadicity theorem for higher algebraic structures
We develop a theory of Eilenberg-Moore objects in any $(\infty,2)$-category and extend Barr-Beck's monadicity theorem to any $(\infty,2)$-category that admits Eilenberg-Moore objects. We apply this result to various $(\infty,2)$-categories of higher algebraic structures to obtain a monadicity theorem for enriched $\infty$-categories, $\infty$-operads and higher Segal objects. Analyzing Eilenberg-Moore objects in the $(\infty,2)$-categories of symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories and lax (opla…

Higher Hall conductivity from a single wave function: Obstructions to symmetry-preserving gapped edge of (2+1)D topological order
A (2+1)D topological ordered phase with U(1) symmetry may or may not have a symmetric gapped edge state, even if both thermal and electric Hall conductivity are vanishing. It is recently discovered that there are "higher" versions of Hall conductivity valid for fermionic fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states, which obstructs symmetry-preserving gapped edge state beyond thermal and electric Hall conductivity. In this paper, we show that one can extract higher Hall conductivity from a single wave …

ChemReservoir -- An Open-Source Framework for Chemically-Inspired Reservoir Computing
Reservoir computing is a type of a recurrent neural network, mapping the inputs into higher dimensional space using fixed and nonlinear dynamical systems, called reservoirs. In the literature, there are various types of reservoirs ranging from in-silico to in-vitro. In cheminformatics, previous studies contributed to the field by developing simulation-based chemically inspired in-silico reservoir models. Yahiro used a DNA-based chemical reaction network as its reservoir and Nguyen developed a D…

Spectral Sequence Computation of Higher Twisted $K$-Groups of $ SU(n)$
Motivated by the Freed-Hopkins-Teleman theorem we study graded equivariant higher twists of $K$-theory for the groups $G = SU(n)$ induced by exponential functors. We compute the rationalisation of these groups for all $n$ and all non-trivial functors. Classical twists use the determinant functor and yield equivariant bundles of compact operators that are classified by Dixmier-Douady theory. Their equivariant $K$-theory reproduces the Verlinde ring of conformal field theory. Higher twists give e…

On the asymptotic behavior of a higher-order extrapolation primal-dual interior-point method for nonlinear programming
A trajectory-following primal--dual interior-point method solves nonlinear optimization problems with inequality and equality constraints by approximately finding points satisfying perturbed Karush--Kuhn--Tucker optimality conditions for a decreasing order of perturbation controlled by the barrier parameter. Under some conditions, there is a unique local correspondence between small residuals of the optimality conditions and points yielding that residual, and the solution on the barrier traject…

Indiscernible extraction at small large cardinals from a higher-arity stability notion
We introduce a higher-arity stability notion defined in terms of $k$-splitting, a higher-arity generalization of splitting. We show that theories with bounded $k$-splitting have improved indiscernible extraction at $k$-ineffable cardinals, and we give a non-trivial example of a theory with bounded $k$-splitting but unbounded $(k-1)$-splitting for each odd $k > 1$. We also show that bounded $k$-splitting implies $\mathrm{NFOP}_k$, a higher arity stability notion introduced by Terry and Wolf. We …

Big Steps in Higher-Order Mathematical Operational Semantics
Small-step and big-step operational semantics are two fundamental styles of structural operational semantics (SOS), extensively used in practice. The former one is more fine-grained and is usually regarded as primitive, as it only defines a one-step reduction relation between a given program and its direct descendant under an ambient evaluation strategy. The latter one implements, in a self-contained manner, such a strategy directly by relating a program to the net result of the evaluation proc…

Drawing from recent developments in mixed-state phases of matter, this motivates a diagnostic of fault-tolerance, which we refer to as the spacetime Markov length. This is a length scale determined by the decay of the (classical) conditional mutual information of repeated syndrome measure…
