Astronomie: Asteroidenkollision bei anderem Stern nach 20 Jahren bestätigt
Vor 20 Jahren gab es einen Hinweis auf eine Staubwolke im Orbit von Beta Pictoris. Jetzt zeigt sich, dass sie auf eine Asteroidenkollision zurückgegangen war.

I need to carry a full-size dirt shovel across town to help with a tree planting. My bicycle has no cargo racks or fenders. I'm thinking about strapping the shovel handle directly to the side of the top tube. Probably with rope or bungie cords - I don't have any velcro straps that big. And then tie on an orange safety bandanna to the end of the trailing blade (so not a javelin / narwhal setup). Hopefully that's secure enough for a 9km jaunt.

#BikeStreak, Day 72: A normal commute in the morning, a rainy one in the evening with a short stop at a take-away on my usual route to get a tasty Falafel Dürüm for dinner at home. 8.1km as usual, too.

Boosted Conformal Prediction Intervals
This paper introduces a boosted conformal procedure designed to tailor conformalized prediction intervals toward specific desired properties, such as enhanced conditional coverage or reduced interval length. We employ machine learning techniques, notably gradient boosting, to systematically improve upon a predefined conformity score function. This process is guided by carefully constructed loss functions that measure the deviation of prediction intervals from the targeted properties. The proced…

Vorhin an einem Werbeplakat vorbeigegangen. Darauf ein durchtrainierter junger Mann.
Darunter der Spruch: "Egal, wie viel du trainierst – an uns kommst du nicht vorbei."
Der Werbetreibende: ein Bestatter.
Ganz ehrlich? Wie wenig Ahnung hatte hier jemand von Marketing? Wie viel wird diese Werbung wohl bringen? Und vor allem: Wie abgefuckt ist sie?

New simple solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation and their permutation groups
A new class of indecomposable, irretractable, involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solutions of the Yang--Baxter equation is constructed. This class complements the class of such solutions constructed in \cite{CO22} and together they generalize the class of solutions described in \cite[Theorem 4.7{CO21}. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found in order that these new solutions are simple. For a rich subclass of these solutions the structure of their permutation groups, considered as l…

Remote Reactor Ranging via Antineutrino Oscillations
Antineutrinos from nuclear reactors have the potential to be used for reactor monitoring in the mid- to far-field under certain conditions. Antineutrinos are an unshieldable signal and carry information about the reactor core and the distance they travel. Using gadolinium-doped water Cherenkov detectors for this purpose has been previously proposed alongside rate-only analyses. As antineutrinos carry information about their distance of travel in their energy spectrum, the analyses can be extend…
