Practical colinear chaining on sequences revisited
Colinear chaining is a classical heuristic for sequence alignment and is widely used in modern practical aligners. Jain et al. (J. Comput. Biol. 2022) proposed an $O(n \log^3 n)$ time algorithm to chain a set of $n$ anchors so that the chaining cost matches the edit distance of the input sequences, when anchors are maximal exact matches. Moreover, assuming a uniform and sparse distribution of anchors, they provided a practical solution ($\mathtt{ChainX}$) working in $O(n \cdot \mathsf{SOL} + n …

Imagine you're president, and someone in prison awaiting trial had dirt on you, dies suspiciously. Then ~6 years later people clamor for info you'd kill to suppress to be released anyway.
Might make you post: people should "not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."
Rough Tuesday for Dopey McGropey.

What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, …

Kleinanzeigen.
Offering a barely used (really) vacuum cleaner for 30% of retail price.
And Germans *still* ask for another 20% discount.
Is it a reflex?

Dismantling the sawmill motor to investigate an ignition failure. Changing the spark plug didn't help. It could be the HT lead but my local small engine guru says probably the coil.
Getting to the coil requires dismantling a whole lot of stuff...

«Innes and Gurr’s response so far suggests that the leadership remains committed to its long-term strategy of denial. Multiple current Turing staffers have described leadership’s communications with staff as tantamount to “gaslighting”.»

Subjective Experience in AI Systems: What Do AI Researchers and the Public Believe?
We surveyed 582 AI researchers who have published in leading AI venues and 838 nationally representative US participants about their views on the potential development of AI systems with subjective experience and how such systems should be treated and governed. When asked to estimate the chances that such systems will exist on specific dates, the median responses were 1% (AI researchers) and 5% (public) by 2024, 25% and 30% by 2034, and 70% and 60% by 2100, respectively. The median member of th…

Identifying galactic binary systems of neutron stars and black holes with LISA
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect ~ 100 galactic binary systems comprised of black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs). Identifying the nature of the constituents of these binaries as BHs or NSs, and distinguishing them from $\sim 10^4$ detected double white dwarfs will be challenging. In the absence of any other information, the inferred values of the component masses can be used to classify the nature of these objects. However, short-period galactic binaries $\sim 10^7…
