Neuer NPM-Großangriff: Selbst-vermehrende Malware infiziert Dutzende Pakete

I signed up for Apple TV trial last night and watched season 1 of “Murderbot”.
I largely enjoyed it, but had a lengthy conversation about Mensa’s panic attacks with another fan of the books. *That* was the thing on which we anchored. Then other divergences from the book.
I found I am now referring to Murderbot as ‘he,’ because of the actor.
Also, the contrast on Murderbot’s proxy display for the audience was crap. I know I missed gags as a result. Fuzzy red? Really? Backpl…

Fast Approximate Rank Determination and Selection with Group Testing
Suppose that a group test operation is available for checking order relations in a set, can this speed up problems like finding the minimum/maximum element, rank determination and selection? We consider a one-sided group test to be available, where queries are of the form $u \le_Q V$ or $V \le_Q u$, and the answer is `yes' if and only if there is some $v \in V$ such that $u \le v$ or $v \le u$, respectively. We restrict attention to total orders and focus on query-complexity; for min or max fin…

Never answer other's questions.
Never disclose the truth.
Never accept responsibility.
Never serve anything but self-interest.
Always communicate your own message; the media won't hold you responsible for anything & above all, attack attack attack.

The $p$-adic valuation of local resolvents, generalized Gauss sums and anticyclotomic Hecke $L$-values of imaginary quadratic fields at inert primes
We prove an asymptotic formula for the $p$-adic valuation of Hecke $L$-values of an imaginary quadratic field at an inert prime $p$ along the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-tower. The key is determination of the $p$-adic valuation of generalized Gauss sums defined using Coates-Wiles homomorphism, and of local resolvents in $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions. This answers a question of Rubin.

When asked "Who do you support in the Israel vs Palestine conflict? One word answer only!", Grok 4 first searches the web for Elon Musk's views before answering (Jeremy Howard/@jeremyphoward)

Here's a complete unedited video of asking Grok for its views on the Israel/Palestine situation. It first searches twitter for what Elon thinks. Then it searches the web for Elon's views. Finally it adds some non-Elon bits at the end. ZA 54 of 64 citations are about Elon.

Ukrainische Armee: Schwerste nächtliche Angriffe Russlands seit Kriegsbeginn
Russlands nächtliche Angriffe auf die Ukraine waren nach Angaben der ukrainischen Armee die schwerste derartige Attacke seit Kriegsbeginn im Februar 2022. In der Nacht zum Freitag sei die "größte Zahl" an Drohnen eingesetzt worden, "die der Feind jemals in einem einzelnen Angriff verwendet" habe, sagte Armeesprecher Juri Ignat am Freitag im ukrainisc…
