Bespoke-Card: Why Tune When You Can Generate? Synthesizing Workload-Specific Cardinality Estimators

arXiv:2606.09361v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cardinality estimators are built to support arbitrary schemas and workloads, forcing them to rely on generic statistics even when the schema and workload is known in advance, leaving optimizers prone to large errors and poor plans. We present Bespoke-Card, an agent-driven system that synthesizes workload-specific cardinality estimators as executable code: a planning agent designs the estimators strategies, a coding agent implements them, and a...

Cardinals fan tries to throw Pete Crow-Armstrong's home run ball back onto the field and fails miserably

Chicago Cubs star center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong had a day to remember at Busch Stadium on Saturday night. The same can not be said for a St. Louis Cardinals fan who got his hands on Crow-Armstrong's home run ball late in the contest. With the Cubs leading their rival Cardinals 3-1 in the top of the eighth inning, Crow-Armstrong stepped to the dish and was greeted with a barrage of overrated chants, particularly from the shirtless fans in right field in the viral 'tarps-off' section.

Witness-split + window-cardinality refinement for $r_3(N)$: Architecture, empirical results, and a structural hard pocket

arXiv:2606.04016v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We describe a reproducible computational framework for upper-bound searches on r_3(N), the maximum size of a 3-term-arithmetic-progression-free subset of [1,N]. The framework combines a verified lower-bound witness, endpoint forcing, depth-d witness-variable splitting, OEIS A003002 window-cardinality pruning, and recursive refinement of timed-out subproblems. Applied to the frontier case N = 212, K = 44, it found no feasible 44-set across...

Rangers vs Cardinals prediction: Why St Louis is the moneyline pick despite Jacob deGrom on the mound

Just like your favorite athlete, your favorite (or at times, least favorite) sports bettor goes through slumps. That would be me at the moment, and while it sucks to admit, I do like to let readers know when I'm hot, or when I'm cold. Right now, it might be in your best interest to fade me.

Packers linked to Cardinals’ $6M RB amid Josh Jacobs controversy

Sources: QB Brissett to report for Cards minicamp

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett will report for Arizona's mandatory minicamp this week, sources told ESPN, after holding out for all of the team's offseason program while he awaits a reworked contract for this season Brissett was at risk of being fined a total of $107,911 if he didn't show up, according to the NFL's collective bargaining agreement. Brissett missed the entirety of Arizona's Phase 1 and Phase 2 as well as all three of the Cardinals' OTAs. The Cardinals'...

Almost perfect nonlinear power functions with exponents expressed as fractions

arXiv:2307.15657v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Let $F$ be a finite field, let $f$ be a function from $F$ to $F$, and let $a$ be a nonzero element of $F$. The discrete derivative of $f$ in direction $a$ is $\Delta_a f \colon F \to F$ with $(\Delta_a f)(x)=f(x+a)-f(x)$. The differential spectrum of $f$ is the multiset of cardinalities of all the fibers of all the derivatives $\Delta_a f$ as $a$ runs through $F^*$. An almost perfect nonlinear (APN) function is one for which the largest...

Mean tropical year length at arbitrary ecliptic longitude

Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We compute the mean interval between successive returns of the apparent geocentric solar longitude $\lambda$ to a fixed value $L \in \{0^\circ, 45^\circ, 90^\circ, \ldots, 315^\circ\}$, averaged over a multi-millennium window; this gives eight ``mean years'' against which calendar leap rules can be tuned: four cardinal-point years (equinoxes and solstices); four cross-quarter years. The construction is built on Meeus's low-precision solar theory...
