By midday I learned the entire neighborhood was throwing a fundraising party to feed mouthes uptown
This evening 100s of neighbors danced to Caribbean music & raised ❤️❤️&💰💰

Dein Nachbar baut eine Bombe. Täglich erzählt er dir und allen anderen, daß er dich und dein Haus in die Luft jagen wird, sobald sie fertig ist.
Nun wendest du dich an die Polizei.
Diese geht zu deinem Nachbarn, sagt ihm, daß er bitte das Bombenbauen lassen soll. Dein Nachbar so, 'ja klar, ofc', während er weiter an seiner Bombe bastelt.
Du rufst nochmal die Polizei. Diesmal erklärt sie dir, daß sie nichts machen kann, es ist ja gar nicht gesagt, daß der Nachbar eine B…

EnhanceGraph: A Continuously Enhanced Graph-based Index for High-dimensional Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search
Recently, Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search in high-dimensional vector spaces has garnered considerable attention due to the rapid advancement of deep learning techniques. We observed that a substantial amount of search and construction logs are generated throughout the lifespan of a graph-based index. However, these two types of valuable logs are not fully exploited due to the static nature of existing indexes. We present the EnhanceGraph framework, which integrates two types of logs into a …

Approximations for Fault-Tolerant Total and Partial Positive Influence Domination
In $\textit{total domination}$, given a graph $G=(V,E)$, we seek a minimum-size set of nodes $S\subseteq V$, such that every node in $V$ has at least one neighbor in $S$. We define a $\textit{fault-tolerant}$ version of total domination, where we require any node in $V \setminus S$ to have at least $m$ neighbors in $S$. Let $Δ$ denote the maximum degree in $G$. We prove a first $1 + \ln(Δ+ m - 1)$ approximation for fault-tolerant total domination. We also consider fault-tolerant variants of t…

I do not understand why folks aren’t mildly freaking out on the extended forecasts for #NYC
Seriously #HeatWave
To have five days (!!!5 days !!!) of over 100degF
Check on your neighbors.
Prepare now for no or low power. Get your spritzer and battery powered electric fans.
We will get through this together. But it will be easier with a little bit of planning.
Where is your NYC cooling center??
