#CoronaDischarges Glow on Trees Under Thunderstorms: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2025GL119591 -> Thunderstorms conjure ghostly coronae in treetops, observed outdoors for the first time: https://news.agu.org/press-release/thunderstorms-conjure-ghostly-coronae-in-treetops-observed-outdoors-for-the-first-time/ - the weak electric discharges may set off ultraviolet sparkles over large swaths of forest under storms, potentially impacting canopy health (this is fringe geophysics but some amateur astronomers are going after corona discharges - esp. in webcam images from mountain sites - with a vengeance, so here goes).

"Auch [Tradwives] sind ein postpatriarchales Phänomen, weil sie zwei Dinge verbinden, die im klassischen Patriarchat unvereinbar waren: Hausarbeit machen und öffentlich sein. Eine Influencerin hat das mal gut beschrieben: Das Einkommen ihres Mannes reicht nicht für die Familie, also verdient sie mit Haushalt Geld und kann für ihr Kind da sein. Das ist ihre Antwort auf das Versäumnis der liberalen Gesellschaft, Familie und Beruf miteinander zu vereinbaren." Hmm.

Kind of an odd way to assure someone a poll is "completely anonymous," but I decided to answer Yes so I could take the poll. It was all questions about US national politics and approval/disapproval of various politicians and billionaires. I tried to answer truthfully, but on a few of them "strongly disapprove" is such an understatement that it almost doesn't feel truthful.

Railway is technically a PaaS (like Heroku). “serverless” because you don’t have to maintain the operating system. They have evolved buildpacks to Railpacks which will create containers on the fly.
OR you can use it as a Docker host
They are hosting their own bare metal servers. Recommended!

"I have always believed in deeds, not words."
As the ongoing Russian attacks keep crippling our infrastructure (as seen from a cold unpowered home with a failing cell connection), I am left with few options. One of them, ruminating before sleep on a strange recurring phenomenon. If not careful, we become what we fight.
We're not infallible. It's the values we keep, the tradeoffs we make to succeed that shape us.
Be vigilant. Watch yourself.

Ski Rental with Distributional Predictions of Unknown Quality

Abstract: We revisit the central online problem of ski rental in the "algorithms with predictions" framework from the point of view of distributional predictions. Ski rental was one of the first problems to be studied with predictions, where a natural prediction is simply the number of ski days. But it is both more natural and potentially more powerful to think of a prediction as a distribution p-hat over the ski days. If the true number of ski days is drawn from some true (but unknown) distribution p, then we show as our main result that there is an algorithm with expected cost at most OPT O(min(max({eta}, 1) * sqrt(b), b log b)), where OPT is the expected cost of the optimal policy for the true distribution p, b is the cost of buying, and {eta} is the Earth Mover's (Wasserstein-1) distance between p and p-hat. Note that when {eta} < o(sqrt(b)) this gives additive loss less than b (the trivial bound), and when {eta} is arbitrarily large (corresponding to an extremely inaccurate prediction) we still do not pay more than O(b log b) additive loss. An implication of these bounds is that our algorithm has consistency O(sqrt(b)) (additive loss when the prediction error is 0) and robustness O(b log b) (additive loss when the prediction error is arbitrarily large). Moreover, we do not need to assume that we know (or have any bound on) the prediction error {eta}, in contrast with previous work in robust optimization which assumes that we know this error.
We complement this upper bound with a variety of lower bounds showing that it is essentially tight: not only can the consistency/robustness tradeoff not be improved, but our particular loss function cannot be meaningfully improved.
