Test fitting boards in a STEP export of the current rack chassis using Dune3D for the first time.
It's definitely got some rough edges but I think it has potential. Doesn't feel as polished as SolveSpace but the STEP import is a key feature I've found missing in other tools.
But I can't figure out how to do boolean operations on imported step geometry, even if I say it's part of a solid body I'm not able to e.g. do an extrusion to cut off the lid of the ch…

#Blakes7 Series C, Episode 12 - Death-Watch
DEETA: So, you have an answer for the Summons to Justification. Like what? Surely not a Blood Feud? [rises to face her] I can't have killed someone who's close kin to both of you. Particularly not as your friend here is a citizen of the Vandor Confederacy. As I assume you are. [drops a metal ID card at her feet]
KARLA: [Picks it …

Authorities are investigating whether Tyler Robinson,
suspected of killing Charlie Kirk,
believed Kirk's views on gender identity were "hateful" to people like Robinson's transgender roommate
Investigators believe Robinson's anger at Kirk's views could be a key to establishing a motive for the slaying of the controversial activist
whose death sent shockwaves through American politics.

Kirk suspect's transgender roommate "aghast," may be key to motive
Investigators believe Robinson's anger at Kirk's views could be a key to establishing a motive for the slaying.

board_directors: Norwegian Boards of Directors (2002-2011)
224 networks of the affiliations among board directors due to sitting on common boards of Norwegian public limited companies (as of 5 August 2009), from May 2002 onward, in monthly snapshots through August 2011. Some metadata is included, such as director and company names, city and postal code for companies, and gender for directors. The 'net2m' data are bipartite company-director networks, while the 'net1m' ar…

Some geometrical aspects of gravitational waves using continuum mechanics analogy: State of the art and potential consequences
In this study, the authors employ the analogy between continuum mechanics and general relativity to investigate, from the perspective of elasticity and crystal plasticity, the deformations of space measured by LIGO/VIRGO interferometers during the passage of gravitational waves over Earth. The results of different innovative or existing mechanical models are compared with each other and compared with the observations in the framework of general relativity and Einstein-Cartan theory. Despite lim…

Gap-SBM: A New Conceptualization of the Shifted Boundary Method with Optimal Convergence for the Neumann and Dirichlet Problems
We propose and mathematically analyze a new Shifted Boundary Method for the treatment of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, with provable optimal accuracy in the $L^2$- and $H^1$-norms of the error. The proposed method is built on three stages. First, the distance map between the SBM surrogate boundary and the true boundary is used to construct an approximation to the geometry of the gap between the two. Then, the representations of the numerical solution and test functions are extended…

Extremal curves in single-trace $T\bar{T}$-holography
In this paper, we continue the study of single-trace $T\bar{T}$-holography where the boundary field theory can be realized as a CFT$_2$ deformed by a single-trace irrelevant operator of dimension $(2,2)$ and dual spacetime geometry is $AdS_3$ smoothly glued to flat spacetime with a linear dilaton near the boundary. In this non-AdS holographic framework, we propose that the length of real extremal curves connecting the two boundaries of an eternal black hole at fixed boundary time captures the t…

A Close Reading Approach to Gender Narrative Biases in AI-Generated Stories
The paper explores the study of gender-based narrative biases in stories generated by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. The prompt design draws on Propp's character classifications and Freytag's narrative structure. The stories are analyzed through a close reading approach, with particular attention to adherence to the prompt, gender distribution of characters, physical and psychological descriptions, actions, and finally, plot development and character relationships. The results reveal the persiste…
