Es ist so seltsam zu sehen, dass breite Teile dessen, was sich heute „Management“ nennt, sich mit Händen und Füßen gegen aktuelle Erkenntnisse in Sachen Produktivität, Arbeitsorganisation und Kultur wehrt:
> Today, big chunks English-language management and executive culture are effectively the opposite of what we know works when managing organisations. […] Managers and executives have already demonstrated, en masse, that they don’t care about costs, productivity, effectiveness, or…

Day 21: Aya Yoshinaga
I'm actually generally much less aware of the creators involved in the anime I watch, for a number of reasons, and the few anime directors I could name without looking them up were all men before I started this list. I've now got a short list of anime directors/writers who are women, and the first I'll include here is Yoshinaga, in part because she was pivotal to one of my favorite lesser-known anime, "Kurau Phantom Memory". It was actually one of the first anime I watched ever, but I didn't like it just because of that, since I've rewatched it at least twice and still regard it highly. It's got a pretty cool science fiction setting, an extremely cool barely-comprehensible alien race, a female protagonist who is not sexualized and not subjected to romance, and it centers a platonic relationship torn apart by technological hubris. Very "cool seinen stuff that wouldn't make it past the focus groups today" stuff.
Besides Kurau, Yoshinaga has worked on other great stuff like Golden Kamuy, Azumanga Daioh, Durarara, and Fullmetal Alchemist, and when you see a correlation like that between well-written shows and the same writer showing up again and again, it's clear there's talent there, even if most of these are manga-based.
Probably going to circle back to at least one more anime writer, but for tomorrow I'll move on to manga probably, since I want to space out all my YA enthusiasm a bit.

On the fully analytical cumulative distribution of product of correlated Gaussian random Variables with zero means
We derive a fully analytical, one-line closed-form expression for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the product of two correlated zero-mean normal random variables, avoiding any series representation. This result complements the well-known compact density formula with an equally compact and computationally practical CDF representation. Our main formula expresses the CDF in terms of Humbert's confluent hypergeometric function $Φ_1$ and modified Bessel functions $K_ν$, offering both…

Robust Least Squares Problems with Binary Uncertain Data
We propose a Binary Robust Least Squares (BRLS) model that encompasses key robust least squares formulations, such as those involving uncertain binary labels and adversarial noise constrained within a hypercube. We show that the geometric structure of the noise propagation matrix, particularly whether its columns form acute or obtuse angles, implies the supermodularity or submodularity of the inner maximization problem. This structural property enables us to integrate powerful combinatorial opt…

Hadamard ranks of algebraic varieties
Motivated by the study of decompositions of tensors as Hadamard products (i.e., coefficient-wise products) of low-rank tensors, we introduce the notion of Hadamard rank of a given point with respect to a projective variety: if it exists, it is the smallest number of points in the variety such that the given point is equal to their Hadamard product. We prove that if the variety $X$ is not contained in a coordinate hyperplane or a binomial hypersurface, then the generic point has a finite $X$-Had…

MIXER: Mixed Hyperspherical Random Embedding Neural Network for Texture Recognition
Randomized neural networks for representation learning have consistently achieved prominent results in texture recognition tasks, effectively combining the advantages of both traditional techniques and learning-based approaches. However, existing approaches have so far focused mainly on improving cross-information prediction, without introducing significant advancements to the overall randomized network architecture. In this paper, we propose Mixer, a novel randomized neural network for texture…
