Cowboys' need to build offensive line depth stressed again with Tyler Smith exiting practice early https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nfl/cowboys-need-to-build-offensive-line-depth-stressed-again-with-tyle…

While it’s supposed to be good for your health to be in a relationship, I am becoming more and more stressed by the thought of what the effects would be if something were to happen to me out of the blue. S.O. would be stuck in the middle of nowhere with no real means of transportation as well as other challenges :/

Operational Risks in Grid Integration of Large Data Center Loads: Characteristics, Stability Assessments, and Sensitivity Studies
This paper investigates the dynamic interactions between large-scale data centers and the power grid, focusing on reliability challenges arising from sudden fluctuations in demand. With the rapid growth of AI-driven workloads, such fluctuations, along with fast ramp patterns, are expected to exacerbate stressed grid conditions and system instabilities. We consider a few open-source AI data center consumption profiles from the MIT supercloud datasets, along with generating a few experimental HPC…

White's Conjecture for Paving Matroids

White's Conjecture for Paving Matroids
White's conjecture asserts that any two tuples of matroid bases that have the same multi-set union can be transformed from one to another by symmetric exchanges; it also implies that the toric ideals of matroids are generated by the binomials encoding these exchanges. We prove White's conjecture for the class of paving matroids. Our strategy is to generalize the inductive argument using circuit-hyperplane relaxations in the recent work of Han et al. to stressed hyperplane relaxations.

Trump’s cuts to humanitarian assistance abroad have hurt all kinds of people.
But those suffering the most are women and girls
— and that will leave all of us, including men and boys, worse off.
Sometimes the cuts don’t directly target girls,
but when families are stressed it is girls who pay the highest price.
In a Congolese refugee settlement I visited in southwestern Uganda, Rwamwanja,
aid cuts led to reduced food assistance
and to the layoffs of …

Conditional Risk Minimization with Side Information: A Tractable, Universal Optimal Transport Framework
Conditional risk minimization arises in high-stakes decisions where risk must be assessed in light of side information, such as stressed economic conditions, specific customer profiles, or other contextual covariates. Constructing reliable conditional distributions from limited data is notoriously difficult, motivating a series of optimal-transport-based proposals that address this uncertainty in a distributionally robust manner. Yet these approaches remain fragmented, each constrained by its o…

A Hybrid GNN-IZR Framework for Fast and Empirically Robust AC Power Flow Analysis in Radial Distribution Systems

A Hybrid GNN-IZR Framework for Fast and Empirically Robust AC Power Flow Analysis in Radial Distribution Systems
The Alternating Current Power Flow (ACPF) problem forces a trade-off between the speed of data-driven models and the reliability of analytical solvers. This paper introduces a hybrid framework that synergizes a Graph Neural Network (GNN) with the Implicit Z-Bus Recursive (IZR) method, a robust, non-iterative solver for radial distribution networks. The framework employs a physics-informed GNN for rapid initial predictions and invokes the IZR solver as a failsafe for stressed cases identified by…

Busy day ahead. Snatched an appointment to request a new ID card. Mine has expired two month ago 🙈. But first need to check on an old bike to get there. Because kiddo is using my bike for a summer camp. Then put the bike on the car and drive to Potsdam to pick up a friend we take care of from hospital and drive him home to the Uckermark. Then also do the grocery shopping for him and deliver back to him. Then bring said bike to our house in the countryside cause we don't need it in Berlin…

RhythmTA: A Visual-Aided Interactive System for ESL Rhythm Training via Dubbing Practice

RhythmTA: A Visual-Aided Interactive System for ESL Rhythm Training via Dubbing Practice
English speech rhythm, the temporal patterns of stressed syllables, is essential for English as a second language (ESL) learners to produce natural-sounding and comprehensible speech. Rhythm training is generally based on imitation of native speech. However, it relies heavily on external instructor feedback, preventing ESL learners from independent practice. To address this gap, we present RhythmTA, an interactive system for ESL learners to practice speech rhythm independently via dubbing, an i…

On Splitting Lightweight Semantic Image Segmentation for Wireless Communications
Semantic communication represents a promising technique towards reducing communication costs, especially when dealing with image segmentation, but it still lacks a balance between computational efficiency and bandwidth requirements while maintaining high image segmentation accuracy, particularly in resource-limited environments and changing channel conditions. On the other hand, the more complex and larger semantic image segmentation models become, the more stressed the devices are when process…

One of the things it stressed is that we really don't know the motivation at this point. I think we're closer to "extremely online and weird" but we can't really say "he's a Groyper." I think this is pretty likely, but we should be honest that we don't actually know.
This is where I think it's important to realize we're operating in two spaces: reality and the meme space. The right now longer has a separation between the two. The meme they want to spread to attack the left is that it was some how associated with leftists (especially trans folks), so this is the meme they believe.
It's useful, on a memetic level, to disrupt this. The Groyper meme is a pretty solid response. But, at least as far as I'm aware, we're still not sure that's true. But we don't have to collapse meme space and reality. We have absurdism.
We don't know if he's a Groyper, or even a far right troll, for sure anyway. But we do know that #JeffryEpstein killed #CharlieKirk. #TheTruthIsOutThere #ReleaseTheFiles! #FreeLuigi
