Azerbaijan detains alleged Russian spies as relations with Moscow nosedive: https://benborges.xyz/2025/06/30/azerbaijan-detains-alleged-russian-spies.html

This is part of the overall assault on knowledge that the administration is undertaking.
Everything that has made this nation a shining beacon in any way whatsoever is being dismantled
-- with the worst aspects of American history being held up as aspirational.
Please call Congress if you are able.

«L’Allemagne doit s’engager de toutes ses forces pour préserver la sécurité d’Israël et des Juifs dans le monde, mais cela ne justifie pas tout. Affamer les Palestiniens et aggraver délibérément la situation humanitaire de manière dramatique n’a rien Š voir avec la garantie du droit Š l’existence d’Israël, et cela ne peut pas non plus être la raison d’Etat allemande», estime Merz.

High-Dimensional Spatial-Plus-Vertical Price Relationships and Price Transmission: A Machine Learning Approach
Price transmission has been studied extensively in agricultural economics through the lens of spatial and vertical price relationships. Classical time series econometric techniques suffer from the "curse of dimensionality" and are applied almost exclusively to small sets of price series, either prices of one commodity in a few regions or prices of a few commodities in one region. However, an agrifood supply chain usually contains several commodities (e.g., cattle and beef) and spans numerous re…

Solar cells on cattle holding pens seems like a great idea! Probably tons of buildings and farms that would be fine with solar cells on top.
I'm no (food) scientist but I am a lot more confident that it doesn't pose a risk to the food source. But I'm less confident of growing crops under solar cells or solar cells floating on aquatic farms. Likely need significant maintenance over the years to prevent leaching and it's always hard for politicians to fix old instead of …

Latent Representation Learning of Multi-scale Thermophysics: Application to Dynamics in Shocked Porous Energetic Material
Coupling of physics across length and time scales plays an important role in the response of microstructured materials to external loads. In a multi-scale framework, unresolved (subgrid) meso-scale dynamics is upscaled to the homogenized (macro-scale) representation of the heterogeneous material through closure models. Deep learning models trained using meso-scale simulation data are now a popular route to assimilate such closure laws. However, meso-scale simulations are computationally taxing,…
