Jun 27, 2024 · As the ranks of confirmed tool-using critters have grown steadily since the early 20th century, the world now abounds with intriguing examples of both expected and surprising animals.
My first post here and I finally feel like I have a good amount of easy and difficult games to show. Khazan, for how hard the game is, was surprisingly forgiving in its achievements, letting me 100% i...
Benford's law is an empirical ``law'' governing the frequency of leading digits in numerical data sets. Surprisingly, for mathematical sequences the predictions derived from it can be uncannily accurate. For example, among the first billion powers of...
Superinvolutions on graded associative algebras constitute a source of Lie and Jordan superalgebras. Graded versions of the classical Albert and Albert-Riehm Theorems on the existence of superinvolutions are proven. Surprisingly, the existence of s...
In economy, markets are denoted as efficient when it is impossible to systematically generate profits which outperform the average. In the past years, the concept has been tested in other domains such as the growing sports betting market. Surprisingl...
Using RAW-images in computer vision problems is surprisingly underexplored considering that converting from RAW to RGB does not introduce any new capture information. In this paper, we show that a sufficiently advanced classifier can yield equivalent...
English news headlines form a register with unique syntactic properties that have been documented in linguistics literature since the 1930s. However, headlines have received surprisingly little attention from the NLP syntactic parsing community. We a...
The main idea in this paper is that the age associated with reported measles cases can be used to estimate the number of undetected measles infections. Somewhat surprisingly, even with age only to the nearest year, estimates of underreporting can be...
The principle that governs unsupervised multilingual learning (UCL) in jointly trained language models (mBERT as a popular example) is still being debated. Many find it surprising that one can achieve UCL with multiple monolingual corpora. In this wo...
decided to try openclaw on a small vps last night just to see how painful the setup would be. surprisingly straightforward and my biggest issue was fixing a volume path after wondering why nothing was...
for me, it is hard to stay focused on one particular task. i feel like i can do all the work at the same time, but i know it’s impossible to work on everything simultaneously. i’m also facing a pr...
My Molly had been through a lot by the time we rescued her. She had been shut in a yard for her 3 years, neglected, hurt. She came to the shelter with fleas and heavily pregnant. The stress of going i...
Decentralized learning provides a scalable alternative to parameter-server-based training, yet its performance is often hindered by limited peer-to-peer communication. In this paper, we study how communication should be scheduled over time to improve...
Three variants of the Garrett approximation are studied and their accuracy is analyzed, for symmetric and asymmetric square wells. Quite surprisingly, the simplest variants are also the most accurate. The applications to quantum wells, quantum dots a...
Recent advancements, such as DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B and Kimina-Prover-Preview-72B, demonstrate a prevailing trend in leveraging reinforcement learning (RL)-based large-scale training for automated theorem proving. Surprisingly, we discover that even...
Dec 8, 2025 · Matcha can improve memory and concentration. Drinking matcha may help reduce stress and anxiety. Matcha can lower the risk of heart and blood vessel issues.
**D**ear Vikings friends, **R**eally hoping this message reaches you in health and happiness. **A**s surprising as this may seem, it feels like only yesterday we last spoke. **F**ar different times w...
I think it has one of the best third act in all of bluesky: high stakes, high risk, a surprisingly good soundtrack that goes way to hard, rising stakes through out, etc....
