Sometimes the painting goes “wrong” because it’s becoming something more beautiful than you imagined. Sometimes life doesn’t work out the way you planned because there’s something different, better, round the corner for you. A huge thank you to @thabitoon_archers and @mamluk.academy for teaching me.

LLMs never make mistakes or hallucinate, as this presupposes they actually know what they’re doing—they don’t: they have no concept of what words mean.
They don’t even deal with language, as they generate chains of big numbers based on statistical correlations.
The resulting transformation into human-readable text is always only a statistical approximation of what a real answer could maybe look like.
By sheer chance sometimes LLMs are even correct (usually for trivial things); however above a certain length of answer it is always wrong.

My man cave is continuing its transformation. New double doors installed today. My wife thinks I spent too much.... and she's probably correct.
The garage at the new house was useless for vehicles. Very skinny, not quite 11 feet wide, and not aligned to the driveway. Being tucked slightly behind the house made it impossible to either pull in or back up to the space unless you owned a Smartcar. So I was forced to repurpose the space for a golf simulator.

Outcomes-over-outputs is one thing — but even outcomes aren't always impactful.
Investing in any outcome carries opportunity cost. Any effort you expend means not spending that effort elsewhere.
And when there's a bottleneck in the system, effort upstream of the bottleneck has diminishing returns. Typically, that bottleneck is your process.
Since the process is made up of people, technical solutions won't help.

All your problems are people problems (Don't Just Do Things, Part 2)

Validity condition of normal form transformation for the $β$-FPUT system
In this work, we provide a validity condition for the normal form transformation to remove the non-resonant cubic terms in the $β$-FPUT system. We show that for a wave field with random phases, the normal form transformation is valid by dominant probability if $β\ll 1/N^{1+ε}$, with $N$ the number of masses and $ε$ an arbitrarily small constant. To obtain this condition, a bound is needed for a summation in the transformation equation, which we prove rigorously in the paper. The condition a…

Within this broad class, we explore the Kerr-Schild transformation of a degenerate subclass distinguished by the existence of a shear-free null geodesic congruence. By requiring the deformed metric to preserve th…

The Newton method is a powerful optimization algorithm, valued for its rapid local convergence and elegant geometric properties.

Strongly bounded generation in transformation groups

Rosendal generalized this phenomenon to topological groups through CB-generation, but in the general topological setting the resulting quasi-isometry invariants are not invariants of the underlying abstract group. Specializing to the discrete case yields what we call SB-generated groups, where the invariants are genuinely algebraic. We show that SB-generati…

DE-Sinc approximation for unilateral rapidly decreasing functions and its computational error bound
The Sinc approximation is known to be a highly efficient approximation formula for rapidly decreasing functions. For unilateral rapidly decreasing functions, which rapidly decrease as $x\to\infty$ but does not as $x\to-\infty$, an appropriate variable transformation makes the functions rapidly decreasing. As such a variable transformation, Stenger proposed $t = \sinh(\log(\operatorname{arsinh}(\exp x)))$, which enables the Sinc approximation to achieve root-exponential convergence. Recently, an…

The latter can in turn be related to a Hermitian Hamiltonian $h$ by a similarity transformation, $h=ρ\mathcal{H}_{0}^{PH} ρ^{-1}$ where $ρ$ is the Dyson map. Accordingly, once the Schrödinger equation for the Hermitian Hamiltonian $h$ is solved, the general solution of …

Unbalancedness of the conjugacy relation of ergodic measure-preserving transformations
We show that the isomorphism of ergodic measure-preserving transformations is not Borel reducible to the relation induced by the conjugacy action of the full group of an ergodic measure-preserving transformation on itself. This answers a question of Le Maître in the negative and gives a positive indication towards a conjecture of Sabok. In fact, we prove that the isomorphism of ergodic measure-preserving transformation is unbalanced, which answers another question of Le Maître in the positive.

Unitary transformation approach to the paraxial wave equation
We present a framework for the paraxial wave equation based on propagation-dependent unitary transformations closely related to the Lewis-Ermakov invariant. This approach establishes a formal equivalence between free-space propagation and the dynamics in a quadratic gradient index (GRIN) medium. In this context, the dynamical invariant and the free-space Hamiltonian do not commute at the initial propagation stage due to Gaussian modulation, which imposes an effective quadratic confinement. Exac…

Demystifying and Navigating AI Ethics in Power Electronics
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming power electronics, with AI-related publications in IEEE Power Electronics Society selected journals increasing more than fourfold from 2020 to 2025. However, the ethical dimensions of this transformation have received limited attention. This article underscores the urgent need for an ethical framework to guide responsible AI integration in power electronics, not only to prevent AI-related incidents but also to comply with legal and regulatory…

On Structured State-Space Duality
Structured State-Space Duality (SSD) [Dao & Gu, ICML 2024] is an equivalence between a simple Structured State-Space Model (SSM) and a masked attention mechanism. In particular, a state-space model with a scalar-times-identity state matrix is equivalent to a masked self-attention with a $1$-semiseparable causal mask. Consequently, the same sequence transformation (model) has two algorithmic realizations: as a linear-time $O(T)$ recurrence or as a quadratic-time $O(T^2)$ attention. In this note,…

The $α$--regression for compositional data: a unified framework for standard, spatially-lagged, and geographically-weighted regression models
Compositional data-vectors of non--negative components summing to unity--frequently arise in scientific applications where covariates influence the relative proportions of components, yet traditional regression approaches struggle with the unit-sum constraint and zero values. This paper revisits the $α$--regression framework, which uses a flexible power transformation parameterized by $α$ to interpolate between raw data analysis and log-ratio methods, naturally handling zeros without imputati…

Rigid-Invariant Sliced Wasserstein via Independent Embeddings
Comparing probability measures when their supports are related by an unknown rigid transformation is an important challenge in geometric data analysis, arising in shape matching and machine learning. Classical optimal transport (OT) distances, including Wasserstein and sliced Wasserstein, are sensitive to rotations and reflections, while Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) is invariant to isometries but computationally prohibitive for large datasets. We introduce \emph{Rigid-Invariant Sliced Wasserstein vi…

A Unidirectionally Connected FAS Approach for 6-DOF Quadrotor Control
This paper proposes a unidirectionally connected fully actuated system (UC-FAS) approach for the sub-stabilization and tracking control of 6-DOF quadrotors, tackling limitations both in state-space and FAS framework to some extent. The framework systematically converts underactuated quadrotor dynamics into a UC-FAS model, unifying the existing different FAS transformation ways. By eliminating estimation of the high-order derivatives of control inputs, a drawback of current methods, the UC-FAS m…

Cat: Post-training quantization error reduction via cluster-based affine transformation
Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) reduces the memory footprint and computational overhead of deep neural networks by converting full-precision (FP) values into quantized and compressed data types. While PTQ is more cost-efficient than Quantization-Aware Training (QAT), it is highly susceptible to accuracy degradation under a low-bit quantization (LQ) regime (e.g., 2-bit). Affine transformation is a classical technique used to reduce the discrepancy between the information processed by a quantize…

Snapshot renormalization group for quantum matter
Recent advances in quantum simulator experiments enable unprecedented access to quantum many-body states through snapshot measurements of individual many-body configurations. Here, we introduce an exact renormalization group (RG) transformation that can be directly applied to any such snapshot dataset. Our SnapshotRG operates in real space, but can also be directly translated to an RG in the abstract dataspace of measurement configurations, providing a framework for the characterization of quan…

For three decades now, I have watched Earth warm—not through headlines or politics, but in my own data. Every year, the evidence has become clearer. My colleagues have measured rising CO₂ levels in Antarctic ice cores. We have seen ice caps retreat, permafrost melt, ecosystems shift, and species vanish. Every single working day of my life has been a front-row seat to a planet in rapid transformation.

DiT360: High-Fidelity Panoramic Image Generation via Hybrid Training
In this work, we propose DiT360, a DiT-based framework that performs hybrid training on perspective and panoramic data for panoramic image generation. For the issues of maintaining geometric fidelity and photorealism in generation quality, we attribute the main reason to the lack of large-scale, high-quality, real-world panoramic data, where such a data-centric view differs from prior methods that focus on model design. Basically, DiT360 has several key modules for inter-domain transformation a…

Transforming Noise Distributions with Histogram Matching: Towards a Single Denoiser for All
Supervised Gaussian denoisers exhibit limited generalization when confronted with out-of-distribution noise, due to the diverse distributional characteristics of different noise types. To bridge this gap, we propose a histogram matching approach that transforms arbitrary noise towards a target Gaussian distribution with known intensity. Moreover, a mutually reinforcing cycle is established between noise transformation and subsequent denoising. This cycle progressively refines the noise to be co…

Latent Uncertainty Representations for Video-based Driver Action and Intention Recognition
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly applied to safety-critical tasks in resource-constrained environments, such as video-based driver action and intention recognition. While last layer probabilistic deep learning (LL-PDL) methods can detect out-of-distribution (OOD) instances, their performance varies. As an alternative to last layer approaches, we propose extending pre-trained DNNs with transformation layers to produce multiple latent representations to estimate the uncertainty. We ev…
