Just got my Pebble Time 2 and it's great! I'm trying to figure out if I can switch to a timer app on it for my HIIT workout, but my needs are...somewhat strange.
In addition to the normal HIIT stuff ("on" and "rest" periods), I like to target a number of reps for each exercise. I pace myself by using essentially sub-intervals (5 reps in 10 secs, for example), so I'd like vibration cues for those sub-intervals (and those vary by exercise).

Dimension of polynomial growth harmonic functions on locally conformally flat manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature

Abstract: Let $\mathcal{H}_d(M)$ denote the space of harmonic functions of polynomial growth at most degree $d$ on a complete Riemannian manifold. Yau raised two fundamental questions regarding $\mathcal{H}_d(M)$ on complete manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. The first question is the finite dimensionality of $\mathcal{H}_d(M)$, which is confirmed by Colding and Minicozzi. The second question asks whether a sharp upper bound by its Euclidean analog $\operatorname{dim}\mathcal{H}_{d}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is true. We verify that if $(M,g)$ is a locally conformally flat manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, then the sharp Euclidean bound holds, i.e., $\operatorname{dim}(\mathcal{H}_{d}(M))\leq \operatorname{dim}(\mathcal{H}_d(\mathbb{R}^n))$.

The upper semi-Fredholm radius, extensions of restrictions, and subprojectivity

Abstract: For a bounded operator $T$ between Banach spaces, let $d_ (T)$ be its distance to the operators that are not upper semi-Fredholm, and let $\inn(T)$ be Schechter's quantity $\inf\|T|_M\|$ over infinite-dimensional subspaces $M$. One always has $\inn(T)\le d_ (T)$, and Gonz\'alez and Martin\'on showed that the two quantities are not equivalent in general. We prove that $d_ (T)$ is the infimum of the norms of operators on the whole space that extend a restriction of $T$ to some infinite-dimensional subspace. The gap between $\inn$ and $d_ $ thus becomes an extension problem, and projection constants enter naturally.
If the domain is uniformly subprojective with constant $\lambda$, then $d_ \le\lambda\,\inn$. In the other direction we prove a quantitative obstruction: a complemented Hilbertian subspace all of whose infinite-dimensional subspaces have projection constant at least $\Lambda$ produces operators with $d_ /\inn\ge\Lambda/2$. Consequently, on the subprojective but not uniformly subprojective space $(\bigoplus_nL_{p_n})_{\ell_2}$ with $p_n\to\infty$, there is no uniform comparison between $\inn$ and $d_ $. We conjecture that uniform comparison is equivalent to uniform subprojectivity.
Finally, we compute $\inn$ for inverses and for shears in terms of the quantity $\tau(T)=\sup_M j(T|_M)$, and we use the arbitrary distortability of Hilbert space to show that a rectangular diagonal operator $\operatorname{diag}(A,B)$ built from two isomorphisms with $\inn(A)=\inn(B)=1$ can have arbitrarily small $\inn$. In contrast, every operator $T$ on a complex Banach space satisfies $\inn(T)\le\tau(T)$, so every automorphism satisfies $\inn(T)\,\inn(T^{-1})\le1$ and the same mechanism cannot work for endomorphisms.

Statistical Guarantees for Covariance Estimation with Adversarial Corruption under Constraints

Abstract: We obtain a near-minimax rate on covariance estimation of adversarially corrupted Gaussian data in Frobenius norm when the covariance estimation is assumed to lie in a star-shaped set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$. Assuming a known upper bound of $\varepsilon < 1/32$ on the fraction of the $N$ observations of data $X$ are arbitrarily corrupted by an omniscient adversary, we obtain the near-minimax rate (up to constants) of \begin{align*}
\left(\varepsilon^2 \vee \delta^{\star2} \right)\wedge d^2 \lesssim \inf_{\hat\Sigma} \sup_{\Sigma \in K} \sup_{\mathrm{C}} \mathbb{E} \| \hat\Sigma(\mathrm{C}(X)) - \Sigma \|_F^2 \lesssim \left(\varepsilon^2\log^2(1/\varepsilon) \vee \delta^{\star2} \right)\wedge d^2 \end{align*} where $d$ is the diameter of the set $K$, $N \gtrsim \sup_{\delta > 0} \log \mathrm{M}^{\operatorname{loc}}(\delta, 2c)$, and \begin{align*}
\delta^*=\sup\left\{ \delta\geq 0: \frac{N}{\Upsilon^2} \delta^2\leq \log \mathrm{M}_K^{\operatorname{loc}}(\delta,c) \right\} \end{align*} for an arbitrary large constant $c$ and the local metric entropy of $K$, $\mathrm{M}^{\operatorname{loc}}_K(\delta,c)$. We believe this is the first such general result on structured robust covariance estimation in the Frobenius norm.

Moduli of the Sourceless Framed Beltrami-Vekua Normal Form

https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.05459 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.05459 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.05459
arXiv:2608.05459v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study the moduli of sourceless framed Beltrami-Vekua equations under recombinations of the unknown, scalings, and orientation-preserving changes of variables. On every bounded simply connected domain, such an equation reduces to $w_{\bar z}=B\bar w$ on the unit disk, with residual symmetries given exactly by zero-free holomorphic gauges and M\"obius transformations. When $B$ is zero-free, the equation is completely classified by two data modulo M\"obius: the hyperbolic mass density $\vartheta=\tfrac14(1-|z|^2)^2|B|^2$ and the phase-curvature current $K=\Delta\arg B$, whose hyperbolic density at $C^2$ regularity is $\kappa=\Delta_{\mathrm{hyp}}\arg B$. We determine the exact range of these invariants: every positive H\"older density and every phase current arising as the Laplacian of a H\"older phase occur. For fields with zeros, the classification extends to the phase-integrable sector through the triple $(\vartheta,d\eta,d{\star}\eta)$, where $\eta=\operatorname{Im}(dB/B)$. On the tame sector, $d\eta$ is the atomic charge measure, while $d{\star}\eta$ carries the remaining phase curvature. Thus the pseudo-analytic mass and charge are numerical projections of a larger infinite-dimensional moduli space. Explicit equal-mass, equal-charge, inequivalent equations are exhibited.

I can hope that this will cause Adobe to help her the AI bubble popped sooner and/or that it breaks Adobe's market share, but I'm not going to use these tools, nor will I cheer too loudly if the result is that copyright restrictions actually get applied and stop LLM coding (even though stopping LLM coding is unambiguously good). (This is very much not a "clean room" implementation if Claude's training data includes any Adobe source, which it very well might.
Second, assuming this does not cause courts to suddenly start actually applying copyright law correctly, it represents a terrifying new reality for legacy software companies, given their dependence on software monopolies for a lot of their income. The people who have been building on open source all along have the better business model here, but this becoming the norm is more destructive than helpful to the open source movement, since "just rebuild it" seems easier than actually using or contributing to an existing open-source project.
That said, these tools are certainly full of serious bugs. They would be even if they had been written by humans in this timeframe, although in that case you'd probably have an order of magnitude fewer issues. These bugs will result in things like "if you open this PDF with the tool, your computer gets taken over by a virus". That occasionally happens with Adobe products too, of course, but it will happen more frequently and won't be fixed as fast/well in these tools.

Abstract: Let $T : X \to X$ be a continuous map of a compact metrizable space, and let $\phi : X \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function. The ergodic optimization problem is to maximize the integral $\int \phi \, d\mu$ as $\mu$ ranges over all $T$-invariant Borel probability measures on $X$. In this paper we consider a constrained version of the ergodic optimization problem. Given a `constraint set' $\mathcal{C}\subset C(X)$, let $M_\mathcal{C}(X,T)$ be the set of $T$-invariant Borel probability measures $\mu$ on $X$ such that $\int g \, d\mu = 0$ for all $g \in \mathcal{C}$. We investigate the problem of maximizing the integral $\int \phi \, d\mu$ over the constrained set $M_\mathcal{C}(X,T)$. We address basic properties of this optimization problem, beginning with nonemptiness of $M_\mathcal{C}(X,T)$ and existence of optimal solutions. Additionally, we establish the generic and prevalent uniqueness of optimal measures, we provide a realization result, and we give a characterization of the dual problem. This framework provides a common generalization of several previously considered optimization problems in dynamical systems and optimal transport.

One particularly common directive is to use AI for high-value projects instead of time-consuming or high-effort work.
Why is that not brilliant?

Definitely, this could be a small step in improving your privacy, but there's another benefit too.

I need something bigger than a pair of 24" 1080p display on my lab bench.
Big GPU profiling traces just don't fit in 1080 scanlines when you are looking at double digit numbers of threads and lots of Vulkan queues.
I can't fit any more width, but maybe I'd benefit from like a 30-something inch 4K in portrait mode?
In other news I'm halfway through season 4 of #Reacher. Ritchson isn't plumbing any new depths here but if you enjoy Reacher punching bad guys in the face I'd say it's as good as season 3. Not quite the masterpiece of Season 1, but a worthwhile entry and I'd welcome season 5 if it's as good.

A Divisor-Weighted Golomb Sequence: Zeta Asymptotics and Arithmetic Fluctuations
Marco Mantovanelli
https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.03811 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2610.03811 https://arxiv.org/html/2610.03811

Abstract: We study a divisor-weighted version of Golomb's self-description: the nondecreasing sequence $A$ in which each positive integer $m$ occurs $\sum_{d\mid m}A(d)$ times. This rule has a unique solution, and $$ A(n)\sim Cn^{\varphi-1},\quad C=\left(\frac{\varphi}{\zeta(\varphi)}\right)^{2-\varphi},\quad \varphi=\frac{1 \sqrt{5}}{2}. $$ The golden-ratio exponent of Golomb's sequence survives, while divisor weighting changes the leading constant.
We prove the asymptotic without assuming regular variation, by a contraction of upper and lower power envelopes. The argument applies to every nonnegative integer Dirichlet-convolution kernel $w$ with $w(1)=1$ and $\sum_q w(q)q^{-\varphi}<\infty$. For the divisor kernel, a quantitative version gives relative error $O_\gamma((\log n)^{-\gamma})$ for every $0<\gamma<1$.
Although the global growth is smooth, the normalized run lengths retain arithmetic fluctuations. A uniform comparison with the divisor sum $\sum_{d\mid m}d^{1-\varphi}$ transfers them to an explicit random Euler product. We prove that its law is singular continuous with full support $[1,\infty)$, determine all real Mellin moments, obtain the sharp maximal order of the fluctuations, and show that sampling sequence positions instead of block labels produces the size-biased law.

Didn't know CrowdSec until recently, but I'm quite impressed. Thought I'd share: I'm protecting my Jellyfin and audiobookshelf via nginx logs for a few days now and it's very promising, especially the proactive blocking via the global community list.
Now looking for a nice GUI (alerts/stats/unbanning) since the official panel's pricing isn't for home users. Please only recommend tools you've actually used (I know how to Kagi 😊!).

Abstract: The CERN Large Hadron Collider will be upgraded to the High-Luminosity LHC, increasing the particle-collision rate and the demands on detector readout. A key element of this upgrade is the new CMS Tracker, whose silicon sensors will generate data at an aggregate rate of about 10 TB/s. This data must be routed efficiently to processing systems and filtered before storage. Serenity-S1 is an ATCA readout and data-processing card based on an AMD Virtex UltraScale VU13P FPGA with 128 high-speed serial transceivers. Twenty 12-channel Samtec FireFly optical modules provide up to 120 transmit and 120 receive channels at line rates of up to 25 Gb/s, while an additional optical module supports CMS Tracker links at up to 10 Gb/s per channel. The modular optical layout, combined with the large FPGA, makes Serenity-S1 suitable for several applications within and beyond CMS. ATCA provides the power and cooling required for operation in the CMS service cavern. Low-level management and the IPMI interface are provided by an OpenIPMC mezzanine, while an AMD Kria K26 system-on-module running AlmaLinux 9 performs higher-level board management and application control. Firmware and software frameworks provide common infrastructure so that users can focus on application-specific logic. The paper describes the hardware, firmware and software architecture of Serenity-S1 and its deployment in CMS Tracker integration and R&D activities.

"You have to ask us permission to use an app" is a fucking wild selling point.
The only way I'd consider buying one of these "Commodore" phones is if there's a nanny unlock available. It's my fucking phone. The last person I'm gonna ask for permission is some random Internet jackass.
I respect Codeberg's right to take a position on this, and I understand why they might feel this way, but this is kinda' crazy. Glad I'm not using it, because I'd have to move some projects off of it. The article is also just confused in some ways.

Just finished "Snake-Eater" by T. Kingfisher (@…). I'd read and thoroughly enjoyed her "Digger" webcomic, and found this book to be quite enjoyable too. There's something indelibly heartwarming about an anxious character growing to feel more comfortable and self-assured, especially when escaping and unlearning emotional abuse, and I'm certainly a sucker for heartwarming characters. I like the way that Kingfisher has taken time to talk about and try to avoid cultural appropriation, in a way that I feel is reasonable, although of course I'm not an expert judge of the nuances and I'm biased by having liked the book, so I'm willing to be told things are complicated in that regard it others judge differently. I also really liked the window dressing of a vaguely solarpunk future society, in a book that's not at all about that society. I'd love to see Kingfisher write something focused on how that society could work (or maybe she already has?).
Probably going to look up some of Kingfisher's fantasy books soon.

Really looking forward to getting our cook on later in our 2hrs of free electricity. D is on soups, prob an asparagus and a mushroom, and I'm on baked potatoes, cauliflower cheese and fish curry (the latter not for D who is veggie). Our son plans to bake a cake so we will be a blur of activity in our slightly awkward kitchen with its bottleneck to the utility and garage where the fridge and some cupboards live 😄 Can only conclude whoever last refurbed the kitchen didn't cook much.

L'actualité brûlante me fait immanquablement penser Š "Ravage", le livre d'anticipation dystopique de René Barjavel.

Hmm I'm not sure what #strawberry 's 'dynamic playlist' is supposed to do - I'd been using that for a few months since switching from Rhythmbox and felt I hadn't heard some tracks for ages; so I switched to using 'all tracks' in 'shuffle all' - and it is playing tracks that I hadn't heard in the last few months.

California’s new attempt to help struggling newsrooms faces key test
