Trump's trade war with Canada was met with anger by Democratic lawmakers and governors from US states that border Canada
including Minnesota, New York and Washington.
New York governor Kathy Hochul posted on X: “Needlessly picking fights with our allies and raising prices here at home. That’s Trump’s economic policy in a nutshell.”
Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar, said the new tariffs meant “higher costs for small businesses, farmers, and all Minnesota families.”

Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and recent compression schemes such as HAC enable high-fidelity real-time neural rendering, but their bitstreams are fragile under packet loss during network streaming. Existing compression methods often separate correlated anchor attributes into independent streams, so losing one packet can create attribute-inconsistent broken anchors and severe rendering artifacts. We propose a packet-loss robust 3DGS transmission and error concealment framework. On the encoder side, anchor-level atomic packaging jointly encapsulates all attributes of each anchor, converting corrupted-attribute failures into clean missing-anchor erasures. Stratified random grouping further disperses packet losses across the spatial domain to avoid large contiguous voids. On the decoder side, we formulate recovery as prior-aware attribute inpainting. A Context-Aware Residual Interpolation (CARI) branch uses hash-grid prior predictions and neighboring residuals to build a robust baseline, while a lightweight two-layer graph neural network with cross-attention over hash-grid priors refines high-frequency attribute residuals. Attribute-wise confidence control falls back to interpolation when learned predictions are unreliable. Experiments under 20 percent random packet loss on BungeeNeRF, Mip-NeRF 360, and Tanks and Temples show that the proposed method substantially improves over no-concealment transmission and limits average PSNR degradation to about 3 dB relative to the lossless HAC reference.

Schrödinger's answer.
(By the way, I'm curious about the correct answer.)

A festive atmosphere in Baja California Sur turned tragic after a tourism worker, Roberto Arellano Acevedo, died from severe injuries inflicted by an angry mob during chaotic street celebrations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The tourism worker died after being lynched in Cabo San Lucas during the 2026 World Cup festivities,
where he ran over nearly 20 people.

Eine hinterhältige Strategie von Verwaltungen mit autoritären Machtansprüchen ist es Verbote zum letztmöglichen Moment auszusprechen, wenn der Rechtsweg zeitlich besonders schwer ist, weil die Zeit fehlt, um ein Gericht zur Korrektur anzurufen.
Verwaltungen als Teil der Exekutive umgehen damit die Gewaltenteilung und stellen Judikative und Legislative quasi handlungsunfähig. Dieses Muster habe ich gegen Versammlungen erlebt und man sieht es nun auch beim

Since it was relevant to a discussion I just had on here and is something most people probably haven't thought about much (unless you've taken one of a handful of philosophy classes), I thought I'd try to lay out a key piece of Descartes' Meditations (#philosophy

The question of whether AI is merely clever, actually intelligent, or truly conscious
—whether it is just a highly sophisticated artifact or an actual emergent mind
—may seem abstruse and philosophical.
Are we just chopping logic here and arguing over imperfect terminology?
But the answer would have important implications for Robert Wright’s thesis that the arrival of AI,
-- like the appearance of actual aliens in a well-armed starship,
-- should and must …

Adopt AI or Die?
In his new book “The God Test,” Robert Wright proposes that humanity is facing both a singular opportunity and an epochal threat.
