Good Morning #Canada
There's been a lot of references to Badlands on social media lately, something about a movie or something. Seems like an opportunity to revisit some real bad lands in Alberta. Seventy-five million years ago, give or take a million years, when dinosaurs walked the earth, southern Alberta was a subtropical paradise of towering redwoods and giant ferns. But then the glaciers came and had their way with the landscape. Today, fertile plains suddenly drop away into a world of multi-hued canyons and wind-sculpted hoodoos. Spanning east from Drumheller to the Saskatchewan border and south to the United States, this region is known as the Canadian Badlands. It is home to the largest deposits of dinosaur bones in the world. It's a little bit more famous than the Cheltenham Badlands in Ontario.

Abstract: We report a comprehensive evaluation of all known sources of systematic uncertainty for two independent $^{176}$Lu$^ $ single-ion optical references, finding total systematic uncertainty of $1.1\times10^{-19}$ and $1.4\times10^{-19}$ for the two individual systems and $9.6\times10^{-20}$ for the difference. Through direct comparison via correlation spectroscopy, we demonstrate a relative frequency agreement of $-2.4\pm(5.7)_\mathrm{stat}\pm(1.0)_\mathrm{sys}\times10^{-19}$, where `stat' and `sys' indicate the statistical and systematic uncertainty, respectively. The comparison uncertainty is statistically limited after approximately 200 hours of averaging with a measurement instability of $4.8\times10^{-16}(\tau/\mathrm{s})^{-1/2}$.

Second big batch of Epstein files includes many mentions of Trump
Three days after releasing a large tranche of Jeffrey Epstein documents that contained few mentions of Donald Trump,
the Justice Department on Monday disclosed thousands more files that included wide-ranging references to the president.

The documents show that a subpoena was sent to Mar-a-Lago in 2021 for records that pertained to the government’s case against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice in sex …

"After the 8-bit MOS Technology 6502 that powered the Apple II around 1980, Macs used the 16-bit (later 32-bit) Motorola 68000 around 1990, then 32-bit (later 64-bit) IBM PowerPC around 2000, later settling with Intel’s 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86-64 around 2010.
We are in 2020, not even around 2020 anymore, and we should be able to spend an insane amount of money to buy Macs powered by ARM architecture CPUs – “finally!”, as some of those headlines online would scream."

Eternally Finally
It is hardly possible these days to browse any blog or news website commenting the latest trends in the Apple galaxy, without reading references to the mythical, yet entirely foreseeable, ARM-based Mac. The existence of this not-yet-announced piece of otherwise overpriced hardware is entirely predicted by a closer reading of technology history in that same galaxy, an exercise usually (sadly) abhored by many.

Concept artists give informed critiques of using GenAI to concept. Fav quote:
“When I show someone a rough sketch they see it differently than I do. They’re not seeing the sketch, they’re seeing the potential for what the sketch could be through their own taste and experiences, and it sparks all kinds of wonderful ideas that I would’ve never thought of on my own.”

As a reminder of the contempt that the ruling class has for us, "pull oneself up by one's bootstraps" specifically references something that's literally impossible, and "tightening one's belt" comes from a euphemism for starvation.

Vector Graph-Based Repository Understanding for Issue-Driven File Retrieval
We present a repository decomposition system that converts large software repositories into a vectorized knowledge graph which mirrors project architectural and semantic structure, capturing semantic relationships and allowing a significant level of automatization of further repository development. The graph encodes syntactic relations such as containment, implementation, references, calls, and inheritance, and augments nodes with LLM-derived summaries and vector embeddings.

MSRBench: A Benchmarking Dataset for Music Source Restoration
Music Source Restoration (MSR) extends source separation to realistic settings where signals undergo production effects (equalization, compression, reverb) and real-world degradations, with the goal of recovering the original unprocessed sources. Existing benchmarks cannot measure restoration fidelity: synthetic datasets use unprocessed stems but unrealistic mixtures, while real production datasets provide only already-processed stems without clean references. We present MSRBench, the first ben…

Robust reset control design for piezo-actuated nano-positioner in presence of hysteresis nonlinearity
In this paper, a robust nonlinear control scheme is designed for the motion control of a class of piezo-actuated nano-positioning systems using frequency-domain analysis. The hysteresis, the nonlinearity in the piezoelectric material, degrades the precision in tracking references with high frequency contents and different travel ranges. The hysteresis compensation by the inverse model, as the state-of-the-art solution, is not reliable alone. Therefore, a control framework with robustness agains…

Free to Move: Reachability Types with Flow-Sensitive Effects for Safe Deallocation and Ownership Transfer
We present a flow-sensitive effect system for reachability types that supports explicit memory management, including Rust-style move semantics, in higher-order impure functional languages. Our system refines the existing reachability qualifier with polymorphic \emph{use} and \emph{kill} effects that record how references are read, written, transferred, and deallocated. The effect discipline tracks operations performed on each resource using qualifiers, enabling the type system to express owners…

Grid-forming Control of Converter Infinite Bus System: Modeling by Data-driven Methods
This study explores data-driven modeling techniques to capture the dynamics of a grid-forming converter-based infinite bus system, critical for renewable-integrated power grids. Using sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics and deep symbolic regression, models were generated from synthetic data simulating key disturbances in active power, reactive power, and voltage references. Deep symbolic regression demonstrated more accuracy in capturing complex system dynamics, though it required subst…
