Beyond Extreme Burstiness: Evolving Star Formation Efficiency as the Key to Early Galaxy Abundance
JWST observations have revealed an overabundance of bright galaxies at $z \geq 9$, creating apparent tensions with theoretical predictions within standard $Λ$CDM cosmology. We address this challenge using a semi-empirical approach that connects dark matter halos to observed UV luminosity through physically motivated double power-law star formation efficiency (SFE) model as a function of halo mass, redshift and perform joint Bayesian analysis of luminosity functions spanning $z = 4 - 16$ using …

Me trying to blend in at a start-up event: “Hello fellow technology brothers!”
Yes, I am wearing a hoodie silk-screened with “DevRel Swag” and carrying an iPhone.

SILK: Smooth InterpoLation frameworK for motion in-betweening A Simplified Computational Approach
Motion in-betweening is a crucial tool for animators, enabling intricate control over pose-level details in each keyframe. Recent machine learning solutions for motion in-betweening rely on complex models, incorporating skeleton-aware architectures or requiring multiple modules and training steps. In this work, we introduce a simple yet effective Transformer-based framework, employing a single Transformer encoder to synthesize realistic motions for motion in-betweening tasks. We find that data …

Meanwhile in Dwarf Fortress, construction of the temple to Bisek Cavernmoth, god of darkness and the night, has hit a stumbling block when my stonemason took it upon himself to decorate it with a statue of a slug.
Even more disturbingly, this appears to be a therapeutic endeavour for young Vutok.

A screenshot from Dwarf Fortress showing a description of a statue. The description reads: cobaltite statue of a slug Weight: 377 Value: 30 This is a cobaltite statue of a slug. The item is an image of a slug in cobaltite by Vutok Rîsenorrun.
A screenshot from Dwarf Fortress showing the preferences of a dwarf. They read: Vutok Rîsenorrun likes native platinum, tin, red zircon, giant brown recluse spider silk, quivers, amulets, fian narwhals for their horns, the words of The Prophecy of Prophets and the sight of The Beloved Tulip. When possible, he prefers to consume fire imp and purple amaranth beer. He absolutely detests slugs.

Positron Signal from the Early Universe

Positron Signal from the Early Universe
Bursts from the very early universe may lead to a detectable signal via the production of positrons, whose annihilation gives an observable X-ray signal. Using the absorption parameters for the annihilation photons of 511 keV, it is found that observable photons would originate at a red-shift around $z\approx$ 200-300, resulting in soft X-rays of energy $\sim$ 2-3 keV at present. Positrons are expected to be absent at these times or red-shifts in the standard picture of the early universe. Dete…
