REACH: Reinforcement Learning for Efficient Allocation in Community and Heterogeneous Networks
Community GPU platforms are emerging as a cost-effective and democratized alternative to centralized GPU clusters for AI workloads, aggregating idle consumer GPUs from globally distributed and heterogeneous environments. However, their extreme hardware/software diversity, volatile availability, and variable network conditions render traditional schedulers ineffective, leading to suboptimal task completion.

Cumin Beef and Green Bean Stir-Fry Recipe (Gift Recipe)
Borrowing from both Hunan and Indo-Chinese cuisine, this speedy stir-fry features a generous amount of crushed cumin seeds for their aroma and earthy flavor. While ketchup is commonly used in Indo-Chinese cooking to provide tangy sweetness, sriracha does double duty, delivering a spicy kick without needing to reach for the chile powder. Green beans are ideal here for their mild sweetness and crunchy texture, but any quick-cooking vegetable will work in their place.

Fisher-Orthogonal Projection Methods for Natural Gradient Descent with Large Batches
Modern GPUs are equipped with large amounts of high-bandwidth memory, enabling them to support mini-batch sizes of up to tens of thousands of training samples. However, most existing optimizers struggle to perform effectively at such a large batch size. As batch size increases, gradient noise decreases due to averaging over many samples, limiting the ability of first-order methods to escape sharp or suboptimal minima and reach the global minimum. Meanwhile, second-order methods like the natural…

Quantum sensing of electron beams using solid-state spins
Scattering experiments with energetic particles, such as free electrons, have been historically used to reveal the quantum structure of matter. However, realizing coherent interactions between free-electron beams and solid-state quantum systems has remained out of reach, owing to their intrinsically weak coupling. Realizing such coherent control would open up opportunities for hybrid quantum platforms combining free electrons and solid-state qubits for coincident quantum information processing …

Furthermore, this progress is heavily geared towards the specification and verification of a certain class of property, that is, local robustness properties.

In this study, we report the observation of unconventional anomalous thermoelectric properties. Notably, unexpected anomalous transverse Nernst signals reach a peak value of ~4 μV/K near the TCDW ~92 K in ScV6Sn6, and these signals persist in the charge-ordered state as the temperature decreases to 10 K.

Thermodynamic Evolution of Flaring Loops with Non-local Thermal Transport
Hot solar coronal loops, such as flaring loops, reach temperatures where the thermal transport becomes non-local. This occurs when the mean-free-path of electrons can no longer be assumed to be small. Using a modified version of the Lare2d code, we study the evolution of flare-heated coronal loops under three thermal transport models: classical Spitzer-Harm (SH), a flux-limited local model (FL), and the non-local Schurtz-Nicolai-Basquet (SNB) model. The SNB model is used extensively in laser-pl…

Deep diffusion models excel at realistic image synthesis but demand large training sets-an obstacle in data-scarce domains like transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). While synthetic augmentation has boosted performance in transthoracic echo (TTE), TEE remains critically underrepresented, limiting the reach of deep learning in this high-impact modality. We address this gap by adapting a TTE-trained, mask-conditioned diffusion backbone to TEE with only a limited number of new cases and adapte…

Nonlinear smoothing implies improved lower bounds on the radius of spatial analyticity for nonlinear dispersive equations
We provide a roadmap to establish improved lower bounds on the decay rate of the uniform radius of analyticity $σ(T)$ for a given nonlinear dispersive equation, reducing the problem to the derivation of nonlinear smoothing estimates with a specific distribution of extra derivatives. We apply this strategy for both the defocusing generalized KdV and the nonlinear Schrödinger equations with odd pure-power nonlinearity. For both equations, we reach the lower bound $σ(T)\gtrsim T^{-\frac{1}{2}-�…

Natural Ultralight Dark Matter: The Quadratic Twin
Scalar ultralight dark matter (ULDM) is uniquely accessible to tabletop experiments such as clocks and interferometers, and its search has been the focus of a vast experimental effort. However, the scalar ULDM mass is not protected from radiative corrections, and the entirety of the parameter space within reach of experiments suffers from a severe naturalness problem. In this paper, we propose a new twin mechanism that protects the mass of the scalar ULDM. Our scalar ULDM is a pseudo-Nambu-Gold…

This is the #Garbce stop on railway line 271 (Poznań — Wrocław), renovated a few years ago.
The platforms end a dozen metres from the railway crossing. However, there is no walkway from the platforms to the crossing; probably because it would need to cross a tiny stream. Instead, a 100 m long walkways have been added to the other end of the platforms, with a tunnel joining the platforms and access to a side road in the town. To reach the railway crossing, you have to walk 700 m.
Ironically, even in the general drought the tunnel manages to feature puddles of ground water. Also including the photo of a platform roofing with weird orange marks.
