Placing my plate at the table, I think to myself "I'll sit here" and try to pull out the chair. Instead of weighing 3 pounds, it weighs 20 pounds. Okay, there's a cat sleeping in that chair, I'll just sit at the next chair. Oh, that one also weighs 20 pounds. Maybe I'll just eat on the couch instead?
We have too many cats. 😃

This is great news for all #XML and #pandoc users: Pandoc has now a native XML reader and writer for an XML representation of its internal document model (which was previously mainly serialized as JSON). This means that it is now possible to add support for new input or output formats via X technologies like

Randomized coordinate gradient descent almost surely escapes strict saddle points
We analyze the behavior of randomized coordinate gradient descent for nonconvex optimization, proving that under standard assumptions, the iterates almost surely escape strict saddle points. By formulating the method as a nonlinear random dynamical system and characterizing neighborhoods of critical points, we establish this result through the center-stable manifold theorem.

Wenn es gut gemacht ist (und in die Welt passt), kann das extrem interessant sein. Sind die Anzeigen eher informierend, wie "Alamira Nalorn eröffnet ein Schuhgeschäft im dritten Bezirk, kommt vorbei"? S…

Balanced quasistatic evolutions of critical points in metric spaces
Quasistatic evolutions of critical points of time-dependent energies exhibit piecewise smooth behavior, making them useful for modeling continuum mechanics phenomena like elastic-plasticity and fracture. Traditionally, such evolutions have been derived as vanishing viscosity and inertia limits, leading to balanced viscosity solutions. However, for nonconvex energies, these constructions have been realized in Euclidean spaces and assume non-degenerate critical points. In this paper, we take a di…

#PhantastikPrompts 10.08.: Wie denkst du darüber Texte umzuarbeiten ohne, dass die schreibende Person davon weiß, um Werbung einzubauen?
Der Kern ist für mich der "Ohne mein Wissen"-Aspekt und das ist ein großes "Nein." Das Höchste, das ohne mein explizites Einverständnis geändert werden dürfte, wären offensichtliche Buchstabendreher ("Sie hfofte auf gut…
