“I just couldn’t cut people. And that’s what we should have done,” Tomelden says of the minimum-wage-related pressures that ultimately forced his hand to close the restaurant on Sunday. “I thought things would change.”

“Anyone who claims to rely on the best scientific consensus today must report the current death toll in the Gaza genocide as ‘more than 115,000’ violent deaths or ‘more than 460,000’ overall.
Here, in detail, is why.”

The Real Gaza Death Toll is Impossible to Know Today, But the Minimum Isn’t
The problem with leaving this sentiment at “we have no idea how many people have been killed” is that we do have a very clear idea of the minimum, based on the most rigorous, detailed analyses that statisticians, epidemiologists, and experts on urban warfare, working together under stringent peer review in the world’s leading research forums, agree on. And that minimum number is indeed much higher than the Ministry’s count. That minimum scientifically plausible number of traumatic death…

"The minimum scientifically plausible number of deaths attributable to the genocide overall is more than 460,000"
This is an area whose population, before the #October7Attack, was 2,226,544. Which is to say, at least one in every five people IN THE WHOLE OF #GAZA has now been killed …

FAMST: Fast Approximate Minimum Spanning Tree Construction for Large-Scale and High-Dimensional Data
We present Fast Approximate Minimum Spanning Tree (FAMST), a novel algorithm that addresses the computational challenges of constructing Minimum Spanning Trees (MSTs) for large-scale and high-dimensional datasets. FAMST utilizes a three-phase approach: Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) graph construction, ANN inter-component connection, and iterative edge refinement. For a dataset of $n$ points in a $d$-dimensional space, FAMST achieves $\mathcal{O}(dn \log n)$ time complexity and $\mathcal{O}…

Phase-optimised linearly-constrained minimum-variance beamformers
A novel procedure for the determination of the optimal group-delay for a Linearly-Constrained Minimum-Variance (LCMV) beamformer is proposed. Two ways of selecting the optimal delay are recommended: the first is the solution that minimizes the noise power; the second is the solution that minimizes the processing delay. The potential of this hitherto unexplored degree of design freedom is explored using simulated Very-High-Frequency (VHF) communication, and Ultra-High-Frequency (UHF) bistatic ra…

Minimum and maximum mass-luminosity relations for stripped stars
Envelope stripping, whether through single-star wind mass loss or binary mass transfer, is a key evolutionary pathway for the formation of classical Wolf-Rayet stars and lower-mass stripped helium (He) stars. However, to study the evolution of these objects into black holes, neutron stars, and stripped-envelope supernovae, we need appropriate input models for the core-He burning phase without relying on the uncertain evolution into this evolved phase. Reliable mass-luminosity relations (MLRs) f…

The tropical crossing number of a finite graph

The tropical crossing number of a finite graph
In 2015, Cartwright et al. showed that any $3$-regular metric graph arises as the skeleton of a tropical plane curve with nodes allowed. They introduced the tropical crossing number of a metric graph as the minimum number of nodes required for that graph with the prescribed lengths. We introduce the tropical crossing number of a finite, non-metric graph, the minimum number of nodes required to achieve that graph with any lengths on its edges. We prove that for any positive integer $d$ there exi…
