We hoofed it up Mill Mountain before the heat ~really~ set in. The humidity did not wait, unfortunately, but we enjoyed it all the same.
We are now decamped in a coffee shop and pondering lunch options. I think we’re off to a bistro and bakery we’ve heard great things about. Their Better Than Sex cake is reputed to be true to its name.

Selenskyj ernennt neuen Chef für Bodentruppen
Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj hat am Donnerstag Hennadij Schapowalow zum neuen Kommandeur der Bodentruppen ernannt. Schapowalows Vorgänger war nach einem tödlichen russischen Angriff auf ein Übungsgelände der ukrainischen Armee zurückgetreten. Der 47-jährige Schapowalow war in Deutschland Militärattaché und hatte anschließend das Kommando im südlichen Militärbezirk…

Optimal Convergence Rates of Deep Neural Network Classifiers
In this paper, we study the binary classification problem on $[0,1]^d$ under the Tsybakov noise condition (with exponent $s \in [0,\infty]$) and the compositional assumption. This assumption requires the conditional class probability function of the data distribution to be the composition of $q+1$ vector-valued multivariate functions, where each component function is either a maximum value function or a Hölder-$β$ smooth function that depends only on $d_*$ of its input variables. Notably, $d_…

Testing the asteroseismic estimates of stellar radii with surface brightness-colour relations and {\it Gaia} DR3 parallaxes. III. Main-sequence stars
We compare the radii derived from the asteroseismic scaling relations with those from surface brightness-colour relations (SBCRs) combined with the Gaia DR3 parallaxes for main-sequence (MS) stars. The atmospheric and asteroseismic parameters were sourced from the recently released KEYSTONE catalogue and matched to Gaia DR3 and TESS Input Catalog v8.2. We computed SBCR-based radii using two different SBCRs, and estimated their relative differences with respect to radius estimates from asterosei…

Zurecht stößt #Merz und seine Ausdrucksweise "#Drecksarbeit" viele ab. Die Haltung hinter diesem Sprachgebrauch ist widerwärtig.
Die gezielte Tötung von Menschen und die Inkaufnahme zahlreicher getöteter Zivilisten ist keine "Drecksarbeit" es ist im Fall des Krieges

Melting and freezing rates of the radial interior Stefan problem in two dimension
We consider the interior Stefan problem under radial symmetry in two dimension. A water ball surrounded by ice undergoes melting or freezing. We construct a discrete family of global-in-time solutions, both melting and freezing scenarios. The evolution of the free boundary, represented by the radius of the water ball, $λ(t)$ exhibits exponential convergence to a limiting radius value $λ_\infty > 0$, characterized by the asymptotic expression \[ λ(t) = λ_\infty + (1 - λ_\infty)\, e^{-\frac{…

A continuous-time model to interpolate between speed and function value restart in accelerated first order methods
We introduce a new restarting scheme for a continuous inertial dynamics with Hessian driven-damping, and establish a linear convergence rate for the function values along the restarted trajectories. The proposed routine is a generalization of existing speed restart schemes, and interpolates between speed and function value restarts, considerably delaying the restarting time, while preserving the function value decrease. Numerical experiments show an improvement in the convergence rates for both…

Seriously, we should have mandatory national service consisting of farm and construction labor. Make rich white kids spend a year under the Central Valley sun learning how to pick radishes from an expert who barely speaks English. Send kids into the Great Plains to detassel corn between HS and college. Put teams of young folks into Habitat For Humanity and similar projects.
It would reduce the disdain so many adults have for migrant & marginalized workers.
