For hundreds of years, the Spanish banned the Incan Festival of the Sun—the Andean New Year.
But since the middle of the 20th century, Inti Raymi has been back. 
Today, communities, cities, towns and even universities hold Inti Raymi celebrations.
They make offerings, light fires and incense. They say prayers to Pachamama and Inti, the sun. They sing and dance. 
And it’s not just a celebration. It is an act of resistance

Inti Raymi returns as an act of resistance
Inti Raymi is the most important Indigenous celebration of the Andean countries of South America. And it is a revival of the people’s cultural history. This is episode 50 of Stories of Resistance.

Global Microprocessor Correctness in the Presence of Transient Execution
Correctness for microprocessors is generally understood to be conformance with the associated instruction set architecture (ISA). This is the basis for one of the most important abstractions in computer science, allowing hardware designers to develop highly-optimized processors that are functionally "equivalent" to an ideal processor that executes instructions atomically. This specification is almost always informal, e.g., commercial microprocessors generally do not come with conformance specif…

Matroids, intersecting bases, and Borsuk property
A subset $S$ of $\mathbb R^d$ has the Borsuk property if it can be decomposed into at most $d+1$ parts of diameter smaller than $S$. This is an important geometric property, inspired by a conjecture of Borsuk from the 1930s, which has attracted considerable attention over the years. In this paper, we define and investigate the Borsuk property for matroids, providing a purely combinatorial approach to the Borsuk property for matroid polytopes, a well-studied family of $(0,1)$-polytopes associate…

CF-Seg: Counterfactuals meet Segmentation
Segmenting anatomical structures in medical images plays an important role in the quantitative assessment of various diseases. However, accurate segmentation becomes significantly more challenging in the presence of disease. Disease patterns can alter the appearance of surrounding healthy tissues, introduce ambiguous boundaries, or even obscure critical anatomical structures. As such, segmentation models trained on real-world datasets may struggle to provide good anatomical segmentation, leadin…

Correspondence among congruence families for generalized Frobenius partitions via modular permutations
In 2024, Garvan, Sellers and Smoot discovered a remarkable symmetry in the families of congruences for generalized Frobenius partitions $cψ_{2,0}$ and $cψ_{2,1}$. They also emphasized that the considerations for the general case of $cψ_{k,β}$ are important for future work. In this paper, for each $k$ we construct a vector-valued modular form for the generating functions of $cψ_{k,β}$, and determine an equivalence relation among all $β$. Within each equivalence class, we can identify modu…

Skewness-Kurtosis: small samples and power-law behavior
Skewness and kurtosis are fundamental statistical moments commonly used to quantify asymmetry and tail behavior in probability distributions. Despite their widespread application in statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics, and complex systems, important aspects of their empirical behavior remain unclear, particularly in small samples and in relation to their hypothesized power law scaling. In this work, we address both issues using a combination of empirical and synthetic data. First, w…

Wavelet-based Global Orientation and Surface Reconstruction for Point Clouds
Unoriented surface reconstruction is an important task in computer graphics and has extensive applications. Based on the compact support of wavelet and orthogonality properties, classic wavelet surface reconstruction achieves good and fast reconstruction. However, this method can only handle oriented points. Despite some improved attempts for unoriented points, such as iWSR, these methods perform poorly on sparse point clouds. To address these shortcomings, we propose a wavelet-based method to …

Modeling Targets and Optimal Frequencies for Imaging the Shadows of Nearby Supermassive Black Holes
Horizon-scale imaging of supermassive black holes has opened a new window onto the studies of strong-field gravity and plasma physics in low-luminosity accretion flows. As future efforts aim to image fainter and smaller angular-size targets, primarily through space-based very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), it is important to identify optimal sources and observing strategies for such studies. In this work, we assess the prospects for imaging black hole shadows in a broad population of near…

Important Banach spaces of slice regular functions, namely the Bergman and the Dirichlet modules, are two important elements of one of our families.

3 most important Dallas Cowboys on defense not named Micah Parsons https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/3-most-important-dallas-cowboys-on-defense-not-named-micah-parsons

Father's day was a good reminder that the most important people in my life are my partner and my kids. My partner and I are doing a sugar fast next week, so I'm gonna throw on a dopamine fast as well.
See y'all next week. (Keep me honest ;)
Happy #FathersDay to all who celebrate.

What is the most important WWII memorial?
Americans: Normandy
The rest of the world: Auschwitz-Birkenau
This, likely, also explains the election of Donald Trump and the general shrug to his demolition of US democracy...

Minimal generating sets of rotational Reidemeister moves
Rotational tangle diagrams have been proven to be extremely important in the study of quantum invariants, as they provide a natural passage between topology and quantum algebra. In this paper, we give a detailed description of several generating sets of rotational Reidemeister moves for rotational diagrams of both unframed and framed tangles. In particular, we prove that the minimal number of moves needed to generate all oriented unframed (resp. framed) rotational Reidemeister moves is 8 (resp.…

Enhancing photon-axion conversion probability with squeezed coherent states
In particle physics, axions and axion-like particles are ubiquitous. Remarkably, ultra-light axions could constitute dark matter or dark energy. Therefore, it is important to detect axions experimentally. In the presence of a magnetic field, a photon can be converted into an axion, and vice versa. Utilizing the conversion phenomenon, several methods for detecting axions have been proposed. To improve detectability, it is desirable to use quantum sensing. However, since the conversion process is…

Pose State Perception of Interventional Robot for Cardio-cerebrovascular Procedures
In response to the increasing demand for cardiocerebrovascular interventional surgeries, precise control of interventional robots has become increasingly important. Within these complex vascular scenarios, the accurate and reliable perception of the pose state for interventional robots is particularly crucial. This paper presents a novel vision-based approach without the need of additional sensors or markers. The core of this paper's method consists of a three-part framework: firstly, a dual-he…

This from @… is spot on and incredibly important. And we need to recognize it as a crucial fracture point in the right-wing coalition.

Can the Cowboys' defense trust LB Kenneth Murray? https://insidethestar.com/can-the-cowboys-defense-trust-lb-kenneth-murray

(1/2) This is an important message from Hank Green about “finding hope,” ways that we need to build community, engage in dialogue, and take care of ourselves as well as our loved ones in these tumultuous times.

Virtually all of the most important parts of the U.S. government that were created to protect the U.S. from the greatest risks we face
are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized.
What is more, plans and statements of the president and his advisers suggest further cuts are contemplated
that increase the likelihood that one or more crises will catch us unawares
🔥and that when that happens, we will be much less equipped to handle it than we have been in decades.

We Better Pray That No Unexpected Crisis Hits While Trump Is President
It’s a world exploding with crises waiting to happen. Donald Trump has made us less prepared for every one of them.

Recursive Variational Autoencoders for 3D Blood Vessel Generative Modeling
Anatomical trees play an important role in clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. Yet, accurately representing these structures poses significant challenges owing to their intricate and varied topology and geometry. Most existing methods to synthesize vasculature are rule based, and despite providing some degree of control and variation in the structures produced, they fail to capture the diversity and complexity of actual anatomical data. We developed a Recursive variational Neural Network…

Thanks Gemini. I did not know that about markdown.
"Important Consideration for Writing Markdown:
Even with this CSS, the most reliable way to ensure a line break within a list item in the PDF is to use the standard Markdown syntax for a hard line break: end the line with two or more spaces before hitting Enter."

The Quasi-Radial Field-line Tracing (QRaFT): an Adaptive Segmentation of the Open-Flux Solar Corona
Optical observations of solar corona provide key information on its magnetic geometry. The large-scale open field of the corona plays an important role in shaping the ambient solar wind and constraining the propagation dynamics of the embedded structures, such as interplanetary coronal mass ejections. Rigorous analysis of the open-flux coronal regions based on coronagraph images can be quite challenging because of the depleted plasma density resulting in low signal-to-noise ratios. In this pape…
