File Under FML: I went to the hospital for my procedure today and during check-in I mentioned how my finger was swollen, which just started last night.
They then canceled my procedure due to risk of infection since my finger appears to be infected.
Then they told me to go to Urgent Care where I got a prescription for antibiotics, and UG told me if it gets worse I need to go to the ER.
Also, procedure is rescheduled for two weeks from now. So, two more weeks of pain.

Does anyone know why The House doesn't hold #PamBondi in contempt of #Congress? Isn't that jail time?

Medical procedure is today, so no ibuprofen, no food, very little water, sedation, two injections, and I think I have an infection in my finger. It’s been a hell of a year so far! 😖
By combining retinal imaging, genetics, and big data,
physician-researchers from Harvard Medical School, Mass Eye and Ear, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
have found that they can estimate how likely a person is to develop eye and systemic diseases in the future.
⭐️They found significant associations between the thinning of different retinal layers and increased risk of developing ocular, cardiac, pulmonary, metabolic, and neuropsy…
I’m off ibuprofen today due to tomorrow’s procedure so we’ll see how bad the pain gets today. 😩

"They discovered that land surface temperatures increased by an average of 2°C (3.6°F) in the months after an AI data centre started operations. In the most extreme cases, the increase in temperature was 9.1°C (16.4°F). The effect wasn’t limited to the immediate surroundings of the data centres: the team found increased temperatures up to 10 kilometres away. Seven kilometres away, there was only a 30 per cent reduction in the intensity."

I woke up angry today.
ICE spokesperson Lindsay Williams is a liar, who is bad at lying.
“Asked if the ICE officers chased Lopez, Williams said: ‘Chased? I wouldn’t say that. They followed him until he crashed.’”
Wouldn’t say that? How about: ICE was committing crime (their standard procedure), someone died, they’re the killers. Your people killed a school teacher, Williams.
Have the day you deserve, you apologist scum.

Learning-augmented smooth integer programs with PAC-learnable oracles

Abstract: This paper investigates learning-augmented algorithms for smooth integer programs, covering canonical problems such as MAX-CUT and MAX-k-SAT. We introduce a framework that incorporates a predictive oracle to construct a linear surrogate of the objective, which is then solved via linear programming followed by a rounding procedure. Crucially, our framework ensures that the solution quality is both consistent and smooth against prediction errors. We demonstrate that this approach effectively extends tractable approximations from the classical dense regime to the near-dense regime. Furthermore, we go beyond the assumption of oracle existence by establishing its PAC-learnability. We prove that the induced algorithm class possesses a bounded pseudo-dimension, thereby ensuring that an oracle with near-optimal expected performance can be learned with polynomial samples.

Anti-abortion lawmakers and others
are using strategies from the playbook of bigots who sought to restrict access to voting,
-- even by trying to change the rules for citizen-led initiatives.
ProPublica found legislation or proposals introduced in at least four states in the last year that would undermine ballot initiatives adding abortion protections to state law.
Sarah Walker, policy and legal advocacy director at the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, said that e…

"the operations analysts did not impose this logic on the military; the military was already converting operational experience into systematic procedure, and had been for decades. Nobody stopped making judgments. But the judgments were no longer about whether the bombing served a strategic purpose. They were about how to measure it and how to optimise around those measurements."
New examples of non-unique enhancements for triangulated categories

Abstract: We present a general procedure for constructing triangulated categories, linear over a field, with distinct enhancements. Some of our examples can be equipped with a (non-degenerate) t-structure, thereby showing that the existence of a t-structure does not imply uniqueness of enhancements, whether in the strong or weak sense (depending on the example).

Orientation Reconstruction of Proteins using Coulomb Explosions

Abstract: We solve the orientation recovery of a tumbling protein in the gas phase from single-event measurements of the spatial positions of its ions after an X-ray laser induced explosion. We simulate diffracted X-ray signal and ion dynamics under experimental conditions and compare our method to conventional orientation recovery in single-particle imaging with X-ray free-electron lasers using only diffraction data. We reconstruct 3D diffraction intensities using orientations recovered from the ion signatures and retrieve the electron density with established phase-retrieval algorithms. We test our orientation recovery procedure on 56 proteins ranging from 14 to 52 kDa (1800 to 6500 atoms), achieving roughly an angular error of around 5{\deg}. The resulting 3D electron-density reconstructions are compared to ground-truth volumes simulated at the same nominal resolution, and achieve the resolution at the edge of the detector in conditions similar to current single-particle imaging setups. We investigate the reconstruction quality and demonstrate that ion data can be used for reliable orientation recovery of particles in single-particle imaging, achieving orientation on par or better than currently used recovery techniques. This work shows the potential of ion detection for retrieving additional information from the sample fragmentation, and boost single particle imaging with X-ray lasers in the cases where the diffraction signal is a limiting factor.
