@cdarwin@c.imIn a pair of rulings yesterday, a federal judge dealt two blows to Trump’s stewardship of the Kennedy Center, which he took over last year:
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ordered the removal within two weeks of Trump’s name from the institution,
which Congress established as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy in 1964,
and he partially granted a preliminary injunction, saying that the center had to halt plans to close.

@arXiv_mathLO_bot@mastoxiv.pageSpeedability of computably approximable reals and their approximations
George Barmpalias, Nan Fang, Wolfgang Merkle, Ivan Titov
https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.26484 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.26484 https://arxiv.org/html/2603.26484
arXiv:2603.26484v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: An approximation of a real is a sequence of rational numbers that converges to the real. An approximation is left-c.e. if it is computable and nondecreasing and is d.c.e. if it is computable and has bounded variation. A real is computably approximable if it has some computable approximation, and left-c.e. and d.c.e. reals are defined accordingly.
An approximation $\{a_s\}_{s \in \omega}$ is speedable if there exists a nondecreasing computable function $f$ such that the approximation $\{a_{f(s)}\}_{s \in \omega}$ converges in a certain formal sense faster than $\{a_s\}_{s \in \omega}$. This leads to various notions of speedability for reals, e.g., one may require for a computably approximable real that either all or some of its approximations of a specific type are speedable.
Merkle and Titov established the equivalence of several speedability notions for left-c.e. reals that are defined in terms of left-c.e. approximations. We extend these results to d.c.e. reals and d.c.e. approximations, and we prove that in this setting, being speedable is equivalent to not being Martin-L\"{o}f random. Finally, we demonstrate that every computably approximable real has a computable approximation that is speedable.
