"All I can tell you is what people from Altrincham who were at the protest had to say. They are keen to stress, often unprompted, that they are not racist - they are angry and concerned.
"They cite alarming statistics about asylum seekers accused of sexual assault and rape - statistics that I could not find any evidence to support. They claim that asylum seekers in this hotel are 'robbing shops' - something that the police told me they have 'no knowledge' of.&q…

Extended AI Interactions Shape Sycophancy and Perspective Mimesis
We investigate whether long-context interactions between users and LLMs lead to AI mirroring behaviors. We focus on two forms of mirroring: (1) sycophancy -- the tendency of models to be overly agreeable with users, and (2) perspective mimesis -- the extent to which models reflect a user's perspective. Using two weeks of interaction context collected from 38 users, we compare model responses with and without long-context for two tasks: political explanations and personal advice. Our results dem…

Surface Minkowski tensors to characterize shapes on curved surfaces
We introduce surface Minkowski tensors to characterize rotational symmetries of shapes embedded in curved surfaces. The definition is based on a modified vector transport of the shapes boundary co-normal into a reference point which accounts for the angular defect that a classical parallel transport would introduce. This modified transport can be easily implemented for general surfaces and differently defined embedded shapes, and the associated irreducible surface Minkowski tensors give rise to…

The $L_{p}$ Dual Minkowski Problem for Group-Invariant Convex Bodies
This paper studies the $L_p$ dual Minkowski problem for all $q > 0$ and $p \in \mathbb{R}$. We establish the existence of solutions for group-invariant convex bodies (which may not be origin-symmetric), covering two major open problems as special cases: the $L_p$ Minkowski problem ($q = n, p \in \mathbb{R}$) and the dual Minkowski problem ($p = 0, q > 0$).

Buenas tardes, fedinautas. Una pequeña duda ténicolegal; hasta qué punto es legal que un servicio técnico te cobre salida mano de obra por un electrodoméstico que no tiene reparación?
Os pongo en situación. Viernes pasado, vuelvo del curro y la nevera no estaba enfriando bien. Llamo al servicio técnico y sale un contestador con un mensaje, que los viernes solo estšn hasta las 15h, que deje un mensaje o rellene un formulario de su web.
En mi casa se suele comprar al día, y los fines…

Wildfire risk for Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Essex, Kent, Lancashire  homes
New data emphasises threat to ‘urban boundary’ properties, as Scotland issued nation-wide blaze warning for the 10th time this summer.   Ordnance Survey are assisting British emergency services in preparing for the outbreak of wildfires across the country. In particular, geospatial technology has being used to identify areas with particularly…

The capillary Orlicz-Minkowski problem
In this paper, we introduce a Robin boundary analogue of the Orlicz-Minkowski problem, which seeks to find a capillary convex body with a prescribed capillary Orlicz surface area measure in the upper Euclidean half-space. We obtain the volume-normalized smooth solutions to the capillary even Orlicz-Minkowski problem by the continuity method. In addition, we also establish a capillary Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski inequality and a capillary Orlicz-Minkowski inequality, which can change our solutions to…

On p-Brunn-Minkowski and Brascamp-Lieb inequalities
We show that a strong version of the Brascamp--Lieb inequality for symmetric log-concave measure with $α$-homogeneous potential $V$ is equivalent to a $p$-Brunn--Minkowski inequality for level sets of $V$ with some $p(α,n)<0$. We establish links between several inequalities of this type on the sphere and the Euclidean space. Exploiting these observations, we prove new sufficient conditions for symmetric $p$-Brunn--Minkowski inequality with $p<1$. In particular, we prove the local log-Brunn--M…
