Everything we learned from a week with Apple CarPlay Ultra
CarPlay Ultra takes over the main instrument display as well as the infotainment.

Saw Sinners for 3rd x in real hardcore IMAX last night (Pacific Science Center) and 1) there’s one more credit scene at the very VERY end, and 2) staying to see that let me read every credit in which I learned LARS ULRICH PLAYED DRUMS for “Bury That Guitar”.

CYCLING FANS: I learned in the most round-about way that Florence has a museum I would have gone to any of the past three days when it was open, if I'd known it exited! The "Museo del ciclismo Gino Bartali". (Do I even need to translate?) #Italy25

Annihilating and breaking Lorentz cone entanglement
Linear maps between finite-dimensional ordered vector spaces with orders induced by proper cones $C_A$ and $C_B$ are called entanglement breaking if their partial application sends the maximal tensor product $K\otimes_{\max} C_A$ into the minimal tensor product $K\otimes_{\min} C_B$ for any proper cone $K$. We study the larger class of Lorentz-entanglement breaking maps where $K$ is restricted to be a Lorentz cone of any dimension, i.e., any cone over a Euclidean ball. This class of maps appear…

Optimal regularity results in Sobolev-Lorentz spaces for lilnear elliptic equations with $L^1$- or measure data
It has been well known that if $Ω$ is a bounded $C^1$-domain in $\R^n,\ n \ge 2$, then for every Radon measure $f$ on $Ω$ with finite total variation, there exists a unique weak solution $u\in W_0^{1,1}(Ω)$ of the Poisson equation $-Δu=f$ in $Ω$ satisfying $\nabla u \in L^{n/(n-1),\infty}(Ω;\R^n )$. In this paper, optimal regularity properties of the solution $u$ are established in Sobolev-Lorentz spaces $L_α^{p,q}(Ω)$ of order $ α$ less than but arbitrarily close to $2$. More precisel…

I learned¹ about the Baldwin Library of Historical Children's Literature² that has more than 10000 books scanned and available online. Just great.
It is hosted by the University of Florida. So let's hope that it stays available, i.e. that the Republicans don't find the old children's books from 1750 to woke.³
