Tootfinder

An emergent principle of UI design is that the popup that explains how to fill in the box hides the box to be filled in, thus guaranteeing one cannot read what to do while doing it. An important side effect is that the popup can also steal focus if timed just right.

Interesting, had to triple-confirm turning off Autopilot on Patreon (creator account).
2nd popup appears after turning it off in 1st popup.

A new application of the Fox-Wright functions: the coherent states formalism
In this paper we extend the applicability of Fox-Wright functions beyond mathematics, specifically in quantum physics. We focused our attention on a new application, on the connection between the Fox-Wright functions and the generalized coherent states formalism. We constructed the generalized coherent states in the Barut-Girardello manner, in which the Fox-Wright functions play the role of normalization functions, and we demonstrated that the Fox-Wright coherent states satisfy all general cond…

Effect of a Fine-Scale Layered Structure of the Atmosphere on Infrasound Signals from Fragmenting Meteoroids
We investigate the influence of a fine-scale (FS) layered structure in the atmosphere on the propagation of infrasound signals generated by fragmenting meteoroids. Using a pseudo-differential parabolic equation (PPE) approach, we model broadband acoustic signals from point sources at altitudes of 35-100 km. The presence of FS fluctuations in the stratosphere (37-45 km) and the lower thermosphere (100-120 km) modifies ray trajectories, causing multiple arrivals and prolonged signal durations at …

On Non-Monotone Variational Inequalities
In this paper, we provide some sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to non-monotone Variational Inequalities (VIs) based on inverse mapping theory and degree theory. We have obtained several applicable sufficient conditions for this problem and have introduced a sufficient condition for the existence of a Minty solution. We have shown that the Korpelevich and Popov methods converge to a solution of a non-monotone VI, provided that a Minty solution exists.

Singularity resolution in the backreacted Schwarzschild geometry from 2D matter with negative central charge
Two-dimensional dilaton gravity provides a valuable framework to study the dynamics of quantum black holes. These models are often coupled to conformal scalar fields, which capture essential quantum effects such as the trace anomaly, while remaining analytically tractable. From the viewpoint of two-dimensional quantum field theory, unitary theories require a positive central charge. However, theories with a total negative central charge naturally arise from the contribution of the Faddeev-Popov…

The website for my rice cooker has one of those annoying cookie popup things. And then this absolute joy when you tell it "no ad cookies". It took over 30 seconds to commit and let me read a recipe.

Not only Gmail has been infested with bad AI, but also other Google products. Chrome has a "help me write" feature. You can [disable it in the AI innovations settings](chrome://settings/ai). Unfortunately the intrusive popup is still showing up in Gmail and I can't find any way to turn it off. (See image)
There's also a Chrome setting that allows better browser history search. I've wanted that for years so I've turned that one on for now. Maybe it's better than all the other Gemini crap?
