It’s kind of weird that it’s extremely easy to emulate a DOS or Windows XP PC on a Mac, but pretty hard to emulate an old Mac.
infinitemac.org is pretty good for the most part but it’s still not easy to import or export data into older system versions, and some of the emulation is pretty unstable.

Finding subdigraphs in digraphs of bounded directed treewidth
It is well known that directed treewidth does not enjoy the nice algorithmic properties of its undirected counterpart. There exist, however, some positive results that, essentially, present XP algorithms for the problem of finding, in a given digraph $D$, a subdigraph isomorphic to a digraph $H$ that can be formed by the union of $k$ directed paths (with some extra properties), parameterized by $k$ and the directed treewidth of $D$. Our motivation is to tackle the following question: Are there …

How to earn Fortnite Account levels?
Well play the mods? There are many tycoon mods...ie. Steal The Brainrot is one. You'll be amazed at how much xp you'll earn there, much more than standard Battle Royale which is cRAZY!!!
These tycoon games inside Fortnite is the same thing. ie. Steal The Brainrot is a "clicker" but you step on the button with your character.

Refining open cluster parameters with Gaia XP metallicities
The precision of cluster parameter determination has significantly improved with the availability of homogeneous photometric Gaia data, however, challenges such as age-metallicity degeneracy and lack of spectroscopic observations remain. In this paper we investigate whether metallicities derived from low-resolution Gaia XP spectra can be effectively used to break degeneracies and improve the accuracy of OC parameter determinations. We analysed 20 OCs using isochrone fitting methods on Gaia DR…

An all-sky 3D dust map Based on Gaia and LAMOST
We present a comprehensive 3D dust reddening map covering the entire Milky Way, constructed by combining reddening estimates based on LAMOST low-resolution spectra (E(B$-$V)$_{\rm LAMOST}$) with those derived from $Gaia$ XP spectra (E(B$-$V)$_{\rm XP}$), along with revised $Gaia$ distances. E(B$-$V)$_{\rm LAMOST}$ values of $\sim$ 4.6 million unique sources were obtained with the standard-pair analysis using LAMOST DR11 stellar parameters and synthesized $B/V$-band photometry from $Gaia$ XP spe…

Finding rare classes in large datasets: the case of polluted white dwarfs from Gaia XP spectra

Finding rare classes in large datasets: the case of polluted white dwarfs from Gaia XP spectra
The Gaia mission's third data release recorded low-resolution spectra for about 100 000 white dwarf candidates. A small subset of these spectra show evidence of characteristic broad Ca II absorption features, implying the accretion of rocky material by so-called polluted white dwarfs -- important probes of the composition of exoplanetary material. Several supervised and unsupervised data-intensive methods have recently been applied to identify polluted white dwarfs from the Gaia spectra. We pre…

A comprehensive Gaia spectroscopic study of stars in the Sco-Cen complex: star formation history and disk lifetime
We re-evaluate the star formation history of the nearby Sco-Cen OB Association with a comprehensive analysis of Gaia XP spectra of more than 7,800 potential members. New spectral classifications are obtained by fitting individual XP spectra with templates derived from empirical spectra of young stars. Combining these spectral classifications in this work and in the literature with archival photometry leads to estimates of V-band extinction and stellar luminosities for a total of 8,846 sources. …

Finetuning Stellar Spectra Foundation Models with LoRA
Foundation models are beginning to impact stellar spectroscopy, where spectra encode rich physical information in a structured, language-like form. A key challenge is adapting these models across heterogeneous surveys with differing resolution and coverage. We apply Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) to fine-tune SpecCLIP--a contrastively pre-trained model on LAMOST and Gaia XP spectra--for downstream tasks on DESI Early Data Release (EDR) spectra. We show that LoRA enables few-shot learning on DESI, w…
