#Datasparsamkeit is going to take, or already has taken, on a new meaning with coding assistants.
The less tokens one developer uses, the less expensive he will be to the company.

Here's a thoughtful critique of One Battle After Another, which I still enjoyed and recommend - and would quibble with some of the points here - but I agree the first act could've been handled better to avoid perpetuating quite so much the fetishization the film intends to condemn. https://

Paul Thomas Anderson's action flick leaves much to be desired.

The lattices $\textbf m\times\textbf 2$ and $\textbf m\times\textbf 3$ are not Schur positive
We prove that the lattices $\textbf m\times\textbf 2$ and $\textbf m\times\textbf 3$ are not Schur positive for $m\ge 8$. This confirms a conjecture of Li, Qiu, Yang, and Zhang, as an extension of counterexamples to a comment of Stanley on the universal Schur positivity of distributive lattices. Our main tools include Pieri's rules, and Wang and Wang's combinatorial formula for computing any Schur coefficient of the chromatic symmetric function of a graph in terms of special ribbon tabloids. We…

Accelerated Aggregated D-Optimal Designs for Estimating Main Effects in Black-Box Models
Recent advances in supervised learning have driven growing interest in explaining black-box models, particularly by estimating the effects of input variables on model predictions. However, existing approaches often face key limitations, including poor scalability, sensitivity to out-of-distribution sampling, and instability under correlated features. To address these issues, we propose A2D2E, an $\textbf{E}$stimator based on $\textbf{A}$ccelerated $\textbf{A}$ggregated $\textbf{D}$-Optimal $\te…

UCLA's new head football coach, Bob Chesney, isn't just charismatic & thoughtful... he's CRAZY MEDIA-SKILLED.
Check out the nuance. Gold #UCLA pin... but blue & red (=purple) for #JamesMadison.
Already love this guy.
