The Rubik's Cube and Minimal Representations of Split Group Extensions
In this paper, we examine the groups $G_2$ and $G_3$ associated to the $2 \times 2$ and $3 \times 3$ Rubik's cubes. We express $G_2$ and $G_3$ in terms of familiar groups and exhibit a split homomorphism $ψ: G_3 \longrightarrow G_2$ to prove that $G_2$ embeds inside $G_3$ as a subgroup. In addition, we prove several results bounding the dimensions of minimal faithful representations of finite abelian groups split by some complementary subgroup. We then employ these results to determine the min…

I was a bit disappointed with The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. Here is why: #review

Last night 8 of us got together for Call of Cthulhu. First RPG for one of us, and a couple of us with decades of experience gaming together. Went off without a hitch. Other than my reporter getting killed by a swarm of vermin (one of two deaths).

Conformal coronary calcification volume estimation with conditional coverage via histogram clustering
Incidental detection and quantification of coronary calcium in CT scans could lead to the early introduction of lifesaving clinical interventions. However, over-reporting could negatively affect patient wellbeing and unnecessarily burden the medical system. Therefore, careful considerations should be taken when automatically reporting coronary calcium scores. A cluster-based conditional conformal prediction framework is proposed to provide score intervals with calibrated coverage from trained s…

RoboEgo System Card: An Omnimodal Model with Native Full Duplexity
Humans naturally process real-world multimodal information in a full-duplex manner. In artificial intelligence, replicating this capability is essential for advancing model development and deployment, particularly in embodied contexts. The development of multimodal models faces two primary challenges: (1) effectively handling more than three modalities-such as vision, audio, and text; and (2) delivering full-duplex responses to rapidly evolving human instructions. To facilitate research on mode…

I just received a shocking phone call that made my heart sink.
Just days after Susan Collins voted to confirm RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard,
the MAGA Republican establishment rushed Susan Collins $842K
to rescue her chances for re-election.

Just in case you haven't already seen this - and the summary: Vaccines are safe, they are tested and there is a robust tracking system to detect possible problems.

I’m a physician who has looked at hundreds of studies of vaccine safety, and here’s some of what RFK Jr. gets wrong
The health secretary has made many inaccurate statements about vaccines. But the science is clear that vaccines have dramatically reduced childhood illness, disability and death.

Figured I'd take a photo of the NESessity v1.4 board. Pretty easy to build (this was a while ago as there's now a v1.6 board) and very clean. This one has a real CPU (RP2A03G) and PPU (RP2C02G-0) installed from the OG NES though you can install the clone versions (UA6527 and UA6528 respectively). The VRAM and WRAM are new chips from Alliance.
