Dynamic optimization of mean and variance in Markov decision processes (MDPs) is a long-standing challenge caused by the failure of dynamic programming. In this paper, we propose a new approach to find the globally optimal policy for combined metrics...
Energy theory for incompressible Newtonian fluids is, in many cases, capable of producing strong absolute stability criteria for steady flows. In those fluids the kinetic energy naturally defines a norm in which perturbations decay monotonically in...

The process of frictional rupture, i.e. the failure of frictional systems, abounds in the technological and natural world around us, ranging from squealing car brake pads to earthquakes along geological faults. A general framework for understanding a...
Despite advances in text-to-3D generation methods, generation of multi-object arrangements remains challenging. Current methods exhibit failures in generating physically plausible arrangements that respect the provided text description. We present Sc...
OpenAI hit "Code Red" in December after Google's Gemini 3 started dominating benchmarks and user growth, forcing teams to drop everything and scramble to catch up. Traffic dipped month-over-month in ...
My dad (71m) has heart failure, diabetes, CKD, moderate-severe anemia, bad arthritis, and currently is fighting pneumonia. Over the last 5 years his health has declined a lot and we have been working ...
Disaggregated memory architectures provide benefits to applications beyond traditional scale out environments, such as independent scaling of compute and memory resources. They also provide an independent failure model, where computations or the comp...

Jun 28, 2017 · The NHC 250’s have become sort of infamous for cavitation caused liner failure. We saw some pitting damage in two motors but none on the third. Chasing cavitation issues was a red …
Oct 11, 2017 · How big is the data you're trying to decrypt? You need to figure out what is using too much memory in your node.js app and/or, you need to increase the amount of memory you node.js …
We present a novel framework that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) into the Git bisect process for semantic fault localization. Traditional bisect assumes deterministic predicates and binary failure states assumptions often violated in modern...
Poland. Year 1990. After the fall of communism in 1989, Poland transitions to democracy and a free market economy. The economic state of the country is still in shambles, but there is a lot of hope...
The notion of Las Vegas algorithms was introduced by Babai (1979) and can be defined in two ways: * In Babai's original definition, a randomized algorithm is called Las Vegas if it has a finitely bounded running time and certifiable random failure....

Ever since its publication, the Griffith theory is the most widely used criterion for estimating the ideal strength and fracture strength of materials depending on whether the materials contain cracks or not. A Griffith strength limit of ~E/9 is the...
Detecting new information and events in a dynamic network by probing individual nodes has many practical applications: discovering new webpages, analyzing influence properties in network, and detecting failure propagation in electronic circuits or in...
Hi guys, so when I was around 12 to 13yrs old I was diagnosed with bone marrow failure. I had to go through a stem cell transplant which I got around a year later. Eventually, the hospital I went to d...
This short paper describes a numerical method for optimising the conservative confidence bound on the reliability of a system based on tests of its individual components. This is an alternative to the algorithmic approaches identified in Bishop and P...
For a robot to repair its own error, it must first know it has made a mistake. One way that people detect errors is from the implicit reactions from bystanders -- their confusion, smirks, or giggles clue us in that something unexpected occurred. To e...
To help reliability of SSD arrays, Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) are commonly employed. However, the conventional reliability models of HDD RAID cannot be applied to SSD arrays, as the nature of failures in SSDs are different from HDDs....
Oregon has been one of the biggest brands in college football that has never won a championship. This post will make you wanna "Shout" out curses if you're a Ducks fan or "Shout" for joy if you're a f...
1. We killed over 100 leviathans. 2. Boredom is as lethal to a Helldiver as any enemy. We lost many brave souls to experimentation and shenaniganry. 3. We grew a forest of autocannons as seen in the...
Child neglect is an act of caregivers (e.g., parents) that results in depriving a child of their basic needs, such as the failure to provide adequate
We analyze some of Einstein's failures to accomplish tasks which he posed to himself, notably deterministic interpretation of Quantum mechanics and formulation of the Unified theory of physical interactions, putting them into broader ontological an...
This paper develops an approach to classify instances of product failure in a complex textiles manufacturing dataset using explainable techniques. The dataset used in this study was obtained from a New Zealand manufacturer of woollen carpets and rugs...

For several decades there has been no breakthrough in fundamental physics as revolutionary as relativity and quantum physics despite the amazing advancement of applied physics and technology. By discussing several examples of what physics could hav...
Hello, some of you may remember me for making these kinds of posts awhile back. I have still been reading a lot and I wanted to write up another post for everyone again. As usual, this is solely for e...

This paper predicting Trump victory has been submitted before the election and revised after, allowing to add a Foreword and Note Added in Revision to discuss in details the causes of the failure of the prediction. In 2016, Trump was unanimously se...
The Divergence Theorem as usually stated cannot be applied across a change of signature unless it is re-expressed to allow for a finite source term on the signature change surface. Consequently all conservation laws must also be `modified', and the...
Deep Learning failure cases are abundant, particularly in the medical area. Recent studies in out-of-distribution generalization have advanced considerably on well-controlled synthetic datasets, but they do not represent medical imaging contexts. We...
I had the unfortunate experience of being in a situation with a property where a co-owner let the property we owned get ran down and refused to do any repairs so that it would get a low property appra...
