Multi-Step Budgeted Bayesian Optimization with Unknown Evaluation Costs
Bayesian optimization (BO) is a sample-efficient approach to optimizing costly-toevaluate black-box functions. Most BO methods ignore how evaluation costs may vary over the optimization domain. However, these costs can be highly heterogeneous and are often unknown in advance. This occurs in many practical settings, such as hyperparameter tuning of machine learning algorithms or physics-based simulation optimization. Moreover, those few existing methods that acknowledge cost heterogeneity do not naturally accommodate a budget constraint on the total evaluation cost.
World's longest tiramisu record broken in London
World's longest tiramisu record broken in London The record for the world's longest tiramisu has been broken in London. One-hundred Italian chefs gathered at Chelsea Town Hall on Saturday and Sunday to whip up a tiramisu long enough to topple the previous record set by Milanese Galbani in Milan, which stood at 273.5m (897ft). As per Guinness World Record rules, the record-breaking tiramisu was made and assembled live on site, and used 50,000 ladyfinger biscuits and more than 3,000 eggs. The record was broken with the dessert measuring 440.6 m (1,445ft). Mirko Ricci, the man behind the London record attempt, originally held the record in 2017 in Italy, but another Italian team broke that in 2019.
Metal detectorists discover rare, Anglo-Saxon coins likely hidden from Vikings

One of the silver coins in the hands of their finder, moments after being found. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. In a classic example of lucky metal detectorists triggering an archaeological investigation, a group of metal detecting enthusiasts in England discovered a rare hoard of early medieval Anglo-Saxon coins in the parish of Bickmarsh, Worcestershire.
DSR: Dynamical Surface Representation as Implicit Neural Networks for Protein
We propose a novel neural network-based approach to modeling protein dynamics using an implicit representation of a protein's surface in 3D and time. Our method utilizes the zero-level set of signed distance functions (SDFs) to represent protein surfaces, enabling temporally and spatially continuous representations of protein dynamics. Our experimental results demonstrate that our model accurately captures protein dynamic trajectories and can interpolate and extrapolate in 3D and time. Importantly, this is the first study to introduce this method and successfully model large-scale protein dynamics. This approach offers a promising alternative to current methods, overcoming the limitations of first-principles-based and deep learning methods, and provides a more scalable and efficient approach to modeling protein dynamics. Additionally, our surface representation approach simplifies calculations and allows identifying movement trends and amplitudes of protein domains, making it a useful tool for protein dynamics research.

Della Optima TP Series Mini-Split AC Review: Cheap, Smart, and (Mostly) Reliable
Ductless AC systems get smart tech features--and the growing pains that come with them. App works well, with voice assistant support. Ductless mini-split air-conditioners have risen in popularity dramatically in recent years. One study now pegs their domestic market share at more than 40 percent compared to larger-scale HVAC units--and the smaller systems are even more popular in Asia and Europe than in the US. Mini-splits make a compelling climate control solution for a number of reasons.
Russian attacks on Ukraine kill at least five, damage ship in port
What are Russia's gains from the Iran war? 'We are not losers; we are winners' Ukrainian officials say Russian attacks in several regions have killed at least five people and damaged a ship in the port of Odesa - as Moscow claimed to have intercepted more than 200 Ukrainian drones. A Russian drone attack killed two men on Saturday in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region, according to Governor Oleh Hryhorov. He said civilians were hit in Bilopil close to the Russian border. In the southern region of Kherson, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said Russian shelling wounded seven people. Further east, Russian forces launched more than 700 attacks on 50 settlements in the Zaporizhia region over the past 24 hours, killing two people and injuring four, according to Governor Ivan Fedorov.
