A story of webs: the webs by conics on del Pezzo quartic surfaces and Gelfand-MacPherson's web of the spinor tenfold
In a previous paper, we studied the web by conics $\boldsymbol{\mathcal W}_{{\rm dP}_4}$ on a del Pezzo quartic surface ${\rm dP}_4$ and proved that it enjoys suitable versions of most of the remarkable properties satisfied by Bol's web $\boldsymbol{\mathcal B}$. In particular, Bol's web can be seen as the toric quotient of the Gelfand-MacPherson web naturally defined on the $A_4$-grassmannian variety $G_2(\mathbf C^5)$ and we have shown that $\boldsymbol{\mathcal W}_{{\rm dP}_4}$ can be obtain…

WebWeaver: Structuring Web-Scale Evidence with Dynamic Outlines for Open-Ended Deep Research
This paper tackles open-ended deep research (OEDR), a complex challenge where AI agents must synthesize vast web-scale information into insightful reports. Current approaches are plagued by dual-fold limitations: static research pipelines that decouple planning from evidence acquisition and one-shot generation paradigms that easily suffer from long-context failure issues like "loss in the middle" and hallucinations. To address these challenges, we introduce WebWeaver, a novel dual-agent framewo…

LATIS: Comparing Galaxy and IGM Tomography Maps as Tracers of Large-scale Structure and Protoclusters at $z \sim 2.5$
We investigate the consistency of intergalactic medium (IGM) tomography and galaxy surveys as tracers of the cosmic web and protoclusters at $z \sim 2.5$. We use maps from the Ly$α$ Tomography IMACS Survey (LATIS), which trace the distributions of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) and IGM Ly$α$ absorption on $\simeq 4$ $h^{-1}$ cMpc scales within the same large volume. Overall, the joint distribution of IGM absorption and LBG density is well constrained and accurately described by a simple physical…

1/2 Thanks to @… for this interesting article. It speaks to me. :)
I’ve been weather blogging @… since 2005. It is interesting how it has changed, and how I have changed.
My website used to be just data from the (expensive) station I bought when I moved back to Port Alberni. It was a hobby and a side project to practice web/coding skills I use at work. My focus was on creating useful data for people that was more local/relevant than the official EC station outside of the city.
Then I put up a webcam and learned how to make timelapses. This got the attention of local media… because pictures. :)
Then I added a blog and started to write about the weather almost daily. This was before Facebook. There was a popular local online forum where I would post things. The media would also follow my website and they started to call me when there was extreme weather (usually very hot or very wet/stormy).
Then Facebook started to get big and I made a page that eventually had a few thousand followers. I would blog often. Lots of traffic from Facebook… this was 2010 and on. I blogged about climate and weather pretty equally.
Like anyone in Port Alberni, I was/am obsessed with the Martin Mars and got wrapped up in that issue along with others which combined with the weather following probably gave me just enough exposure to have me elected as a councillor in 2014.
I continued through that 4 years, blogging often in addition to councillor duties and work, heavily on facebook, then it all went sideways on my own poor judgement (go ahead and google it, it’s ok :)) and I was not reelected, but Facebook by 2018 had also changed. Cambridge Analytica, etc.

Fast and Interactive Byzantine Fault-tolerant Web Services via Session-Based Consensus Decoupling
Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) web services provide critical integrity guarantees for distributed applications but face significant latency challenges that hinder interactive user experiences. We propose a novel two-layer architecture that addresses this fundamental tension between security and responsiveness in BFT systems. Our approach introduces a session-aware transaction buffer layer (Layer 2) that delivers immediate feedback to users through consensus simulation, while periodically commit…

LATIS: A Sample of IGM-selected Protoclusters and Protogroups at $z \sim 2.5$
The Ly$α$ Tomography IMACS Survey (LATIS) has produced large 3D maps of the intergalactic medium (IGM), providing a new window on the cosmic web at $z\sim2.5$. A key advantage of Ly$α$ tomography is that it enables the discovery of overdense regions without the need to detect their galaxy members in spectroscopic surveys, circumventing possible selection biases. We use these maps to identify 37 IGM-selected overdensities as regions of strong and spatially coherent Ly$α$ absorption. Simulatio…

We construct an explicit field-independent SL$_2$-equivariant isomorphism between an invariant space of tensors and a plethysm space. The existence of such an isomorphism was only known in characteristic 0, and only indirectly via character theory. Our isomorphism naturally extends the web of field-independent isomorphisms given by Hermite reciprocity, Hodge duality, and the Wronskian isomorphism. This is a characteristic free generalization of a classical situation in characteristic zero: cert…

Upstream HTTP/1.1 is inherently insecure, and routinely exposes millions of websites to hostile takeover. Join the mission to kill HTTP/1.1 now

1. Stopped them from buying a really dubious CMS / web app engine that would have cost the org (a nonprofit) millions it didn’t have to be vendor-locked into a dead-end platform that would have set their site back years.
2. Selected a new developer hire who was far more dependable and mature than I was, and became their lynchpin. She wrote tons of software that did actually matter, and stayed with them for years.
Whatever dev skills I had turned out to be good for (1) saying “stop, don’t” and (2) recognizing an excellent person in a job interview. Note that neither involved the code I wrote.

GPT-2 as a Compression Preprocessor: Improving Gzip for Structured Text Domains
In the modern era, large volumes of data are being produced continuously, especially in domain-specific fields such as medical records and clinical files, defence logs and HTML-based web traffic. Data with such volume and complexity needs to be compressed before storing and transmitting efficiently. Data compression has gained significant attention from modern researchers, resulting in the development of fast and efficient compression algorithms such as Gzip. However, since gzip works on the pr…

ODKE+: Ontology-Guided Open-Domain Knowledge Extraction with LLMs
Knowledge graphs (KGs) are foundational to many AI applications, but maintaining their freshness and completeness remains costly. We present ODKE+, a production-grade system that automatically extracts and ingests millions of open-domain facts from web sources with high precision. ODKE+ combines modular components into a scalable pipeline: (1) the Extraction Initiator detects missing or stale facts, (2) the Evidence Retriever collects supporting documents, (3) hybrid Knowledge Extractors apply …

Mapping The Invisible Internet: Framework and Dataset
This article presents a novel dataset focusing on the network layer of the Invisible Internet Project (I2P), where prior research has predominantly examined application layers like the dark web. Data was collected through the SWARM- I2P framework, deploying I2P routers as mapping agents, utilizing dynamic port mapping (30000-50000 range). The dataset documents over 50,000 nodes, including 2,077 FastSet nodes and 2,331 high-capacity nodes characterized by bandwidth, latency (mean 121.21ms +- 48.…

Good Morning #Canada
Day 2 of our celebration of Canada’s delicious history of #Chocolate. Today, we present:
1) Neilson's, once our nation's largest chocolate maker, beloved manufacturer of now dead Jersey Milk. #RIP
2) A chocolate retailer named after a famous War of 1812 hero.
3) An entrepreneur with the worst traits of a ruthless and immoral capitalist, but apparently offered tasty treats.
I now have a craving....

Building a robust OAuth token based API Security: A High level Overview
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) or Web Services are the foundational building blocks that enable interconnected systems. However this proliferation of APIs has also introduced security challenges that require systematic and scalable solutions for secure authentication and authorization. This paper presents the fundamentals necessary for building a such a token-based API security system. It discusses the components necessary, the integration of OAuth 2.0, extensibility of the token arc…

The Attribution Crisis in LLM Search Results
Web-enabled LLMs frequently answer queries without crediting the web pages they consume, creating an "attribution gap" - the difference between relevant URLs read and those actually cited. Drawing on approximately 14,000 real-world LMArena conversation logs with search-enabled LLM systems, we document three exploitation patterns: 1) No Search: 34% of Google Gemini and 24% of OpenAI GPT-4o responses are generated without explicitly fetching any online content; 2) No citation: Gemini provides no …

X-ray view of a massive node of the Cosmic Web at z=3 II. Discovery of extended X-ray emission around a hyperluminous QSO
While the warm, ionized gas in the CGM at z>3 is now routinely observed around bright QSOs in Lya emission, little is known about the CGM hot phase due to its expected faintness in the X-ray band, often referred to as the ICM. Here, we report the analysis of 634 ks of Chandra X-ray observations in the MQN01 Cosmic Node, a region containing one of the brightest Lya nebulae and the largest galaxy overdensity discovered so far at z>3. We detect 66 net counts of X-ray emission in the 0.5-2 keV band…

OpenWHO: A Document-Level Parallel Corpus for Health Translation in Low-Resource Languages
In machine translation (MT), health is a high-stakes domain characterised by widespread deployment and domain-specific vocabulary. However, there is a lack of MT evaluation datasets for low-resource languages in this domain. To address this gap, we introduce OpenWHO, a document-level parallel corpus of 2,978 documents and 26,824 sentences from the World Health Organization's e-learning platform. Sourced from expert-authored, professionally translated materials shielded from web-crawling, OpenWH…
