Orbital Period Changes of Recurrent Nova U Scorpii Demonstrate that M$_{\rm ejecta}$=26$\times$M$_{\rm accreted}$ and Is Not a Type Ia Supernova Progenitor
Recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco) is one of the prototypes for a Type Ia supernova progenitor. The logic is that the white dwarf is near the Chandrasekhar mass and gas is accumulating onto its surface at a near-maximal accretion rate, so it will soon increase its mass to the supernova trigger. But the white dwarf loses mass every nova eruption, so the issue is balancing the mass ejected ($M_{\rm ejecta}$) against the mass accreted between eruptions ($M_{\rm accreted}$). Measuring $M_{\rm accrete…

Balancer Exploited for $128 Million Across Ethereum Chains as Berachain Halts Network
Some $128 million in crypto was stolen from Balancer liquidity pools on Ethereum and beyond, with Berachain halting its chain as a result.

Heartbreaking to see a once sharp, insightful and shrewd friend give up on rigor and logic and collapse into purified rage and lashing out with no foundation nor grounding.
Hard losing the trust and closeness that once was.
Radicalization can ruin so much. We are all vulnerable to it.
Asking oneself questions like "what information, if it existed, would change my mind" and "am I wrong, can I figure out how I am" and finding answers might help avoid it…

Probing ice-rule-breaking transition in $\rm{Dy_2Ti_2O_7}$ thin film by proximitized transport and magnetic torque
While the spin ice state of bulk pyrochlores such as $\rm{Dy_2Ti_2O_7}$ and $\rm{Ho_2Ti_2O_7}$ has been extensively studied in the last several decades due to its unique degenerate ground state and emergent monopole excitation, whether it survives in the thin-film form remains a mystery. The limited volume of thin-film sample makes it challenging to study the intrinsic magnetic properties. Here, we synthesized 18nm-thick $\rm{Dy_2Ti_2O_7}$ thin film on YSZ substrate and capped it by a thin cond…

Diverse Unionable Tuple Search: Novelty-Driven Discovery in Data Lakes [Technical Report]
Unionable table search techniques input a query table from a user and search for data lake tables that can contribute additional rows to the query table. The definition of unionability is generally based on similarity measures which may include similarity between columns (e.g., value overlap or semantic similarity of the values in the columns) or tables (e.g., similarity of table embeddings). Due to this and the large redundancy in many data lakes (which can contain many copies and versions of …

Controller synthesis method for multi-agent system based on temporal logic specification
Controller synthesis is a theoretical approach to the systematic design of discrete event systems. It constructs a controller to provide feedback and control to the system, ensuring it meets specified control specifications. Traditional controller synthesis methods often use formal languages to describe control specifications and are mainly oriented towards single-agent and non-probabilistic systems. With the increasing complexity of systems, the control requirements that need to be satisfied a…
