Here’s an interesting little curio. Was hanging at a friend's place and the conversation wandered to ancient times; when she was 16, an upstate-New-York girl, she took off with a carload of friends and went to Woodstock. She pulled out an original program, dropped from a helicopter near stage-front, and her ticket, uncanceled because by the time they got there the systems had broken down.

Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

The HTML-First Approach: Why htmx and Lightweight Frameworks Are Revolutionizing Web Development
After years of Single Page Application dominance, more and more teams are rediscovering the power of the HTML-first approach.

Measuring dissimilarity between convex cones by means of max-min angles
Welington de Oliveira, Valentina Sessa, David Sossa
https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.10483 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.10483 https://arxiv.org/html/2511.10483
arXiv:2511.10483v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This work introduces a novel dissimilarity measure between two convex cones, based on the max-min angle between them. We demonstrate that this measure is closely related to the Pompeiu-Hausdorff distance, a well-established metric for comparing compact sets. Furthermore, we examine cone configurations where the measure admits simplified or analytic forms. For the specific case of polyhedral cones, a nonconvex cutting-plane method is deployed to compute, at least approximately, the measure between them. Our approach builds on a tailored version of Kelley's cutting-plane algorithm, which involves solving a challenging master program per iteration. When this master program is solved locally, our method yields an angle that satisfies certain necessary optimality conditions of the underlying nonconvex optimization problem yielding the dissimilarity measure between the cones. As an application of the proposed mathematical and algorithmic framework, we address the image-set classification task under limited data conditions, a task that falls within the scope of the \emph{Few-Shot Learning} paradigm. In this context, image sets belonging to the same class are modeled as polyhedral cones, and our dissimilarity measure proves useful for understanding whether two image sets belong to the same class.

Riccati-ZORO: An efficient algorithm for heuristic online optimization of internal feedback laws in robust and stochastic model predictive control
Florian Messerer, Yunfan Gao, Jonathan Frey, Moritz Diehl
https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.10473 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.10473 https://arxiv.org/html/2511.10473
arXiv:2511.10473v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present Riccati-ZORO, an algorithm for tube-based optimal control problems (OCP). Tube OCPs predict a tube of trajectories in order to capture predictive uncertainty. The tube induces a constraint tightening via additional backoff terms. This backoff can significantly affect the performance, and thus implicitly defines a cost of uncertainty. Optimizing the feedback law used to predict the tube can significantly reduce the backoffs, but its online computation is challenging.
Riccati-ZORO jointly optimizes the nominal trajectory and uncertainty tube based on a heuristic uncertainty cost design. The algorithm alternates between two subproblems: (i) a nominal OCP with fixed backoffs, (ii) an unconstrained tube OCP, which optimizes the feedback gains for a fixed nominal trajectory. For the tube optimization, we propose a cost function informed by the proximity of the nominal trajectory to constraints, prioritizing reduction of the corresponding backoffs. These ideas are developed in detail for ellipsoidal tubes under linear state feedback. In this case, the decomposition into the two subproblems yields a substantial reduction of the computational complexity with respect to the state dimension from $\mathcal{O}(n_x^6)$ to $\mathcal{O}(n_x^3)$, i.e., the complexity of a nominal OCP.
We investigate the algorithm in numerical experiments, and provide two open-source implementations: a prototyping version in CasADi and a high-performance implementation integrated into the acados OCP solver.

Abstract: This paper addresses the unconstrained minimization of smooth convex functions whose gradients are locally Holder continuous. Building on these results, we analyze the Scaled Gradient Algorithm (SGA) under local smoothness assumptions, proving its global convergence and iteration complexity. Furthermore, under local strong convexity and the Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz (KL) inequality, we establish linear convergence rates and provide explicit complexity bounds. In particular, we show that when the gradient is locally Lipschitz continuous, SGA attains linear convergence for any KL exponent. We then introduce and analyze an adaptive variant of SGA (AdaSGA), which automatically adjusts the scaling and step-size parameters. For this method, we show global convergence, and derive local linear rates under strong convexity.

Abstract: This paper studies the fundamental properties of the high-order forward-backward splitting mapping (HiFBS) and its associated forward-backward envelope (HiFBE) through the lens of high-order regularization for nonconvex composite functions. Specifically, we (i) establish the boundedness and uniform boundedness of HiFBS, along with the H\"older and Lipschitz continuity of HiFBE; (ii) derive an explicit form for the subdifferentials of HiFBE; and (iii) investigate necessary and sufficient conditions for the differentiability and weak smoothness of HiFBE under suitable assumptions. By leveraging the prox-regularity of $g$ and the concept of $p$-calmness, we further demonstrate the local single-valuedness and continuity of HiFBS, which in turn guarantee the differentiability of HiFBE in neighborhoods of calm points. This paves the way for the development of gradient-based algorithms tailored to nonconvex composite optimization problems.

Minimizing smooth Kurdyka-{\L}ojasiewicz functions via generalized descent methods: Convergence rate and complexity

Abstract: This paper addresses the generalized descent algorithm (DEAL) for minimizing smooth functions, which is analyzed under the Kurdyka-{\L}ojasiewicz (KL) inequality. In particular, the suggested algorithm guarantees a sufficient decrease by adapting to the cost function's geometry. We leverage the KL property to establish the global convergence, convergence rates, and complexity. A particular focus is placed on the linear convergence of generalized descent methods. We show that the constant step-size and Armijo line search strategies along a generalized descent direction satisfy our generalized descent condition. Additionally, for nonsmooth functions by leveraging the smoothing techniques such as forward-backward and high-order Moreau envelopes, we show that the boosted proximal gradient method (BPGA) and the boosted high-order proximal-point (BPPA) methods are also specific cases of DEAL, respectively. It is notable that if the order of the high-order proximal term is chosen in a certain way (depending on the KL exponent), then the sequence generated by BPPA converges linearly for an arbitrary KL exponent. Our preliminary numerical experiments on inverse problems and LASSO demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods, validating our theoretical findings.

Determination of nuclear quadrupole moments of $^{25}$Mg, $^{87}$Sr, and $^{135,137}$Ba via configuration-interaction plus coupled-cluster approach

Abstract: Using the configuration-interaction plus coupled-cluster approach, we calculate the electric-field gradients $q$ for the low-lying states of alkaline-earth atoms, including magnesium (Mg), strontium (Sr), and barium (Ba). These low-lying states specifically include the $3s3p~^3\!P_{1,2}$ states of Mg; the $5s4d~^1\!D_{2}$ and $5s5p~^3\!P_{1,2}$ states of Sr; as well as the $6s5d~^3\!D_{1,2,3}$, $6s5d~^1\!D_{2}$, and $6s6p~^1\!P_{1}$ states of Ba. By combining the measured electric quadrupole hyperfine-structure constants of these states, we accurately determine the nuclear quadrupole moments of $^{25}$Mg, $^{87}$Sr, and $^{135,137}$Ba. These results are compared with the available data. The comparison shows that our nuclear quadrupole moment of $^{25}$Mg is in perfect agreement with the result from the mesonic X-ray experiment. However, there are approximately 10\% and 4\% differences between our results and the currently adopted values [Pyykk$\rm \ddot{o}$, Mol. Phys. 116, 1328(2018)] for the nuclear quadrupole moments of $^{87}$Sr and $^{135,137}$Ba respectively. Moreover, we also calculate the magnetic dipole hyperfine-structure constants of these states, and the calculated results exhibit good agreement with the measured data.
