"I hate [politician on my side not doing what I want], they need to go!"
You can blame people you basically agree with, or you can work with the people available to try to work toward better.
1st feels good for maybe 5 minutes, then ruins improvement right now, the 2nd has a chance to make things better.
Try to take your anger, your resentment, which I share, to those chiefly responsible for problems, and not to those nearest and ablest to help, even if not as fla…

The Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment (DUNE), Version 2.10
Version 2.10 of the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment DUNE introduces a range of enhancements across its core and extension modules, with a continued emphasis on modern C++ integration and improved usability. This release extends support for C++20 features, particularly concepts, through comprehensive refinements in dune-common and dune-grid, enabling safer and more expressive generic programming paradigms. A notable advancement is the improved support for curved geometries, includin…

Sensitivity of nEXO to $^{136}$Xe Charged-Current Interactions: Background-free Searches for Solar Neutrinos and Fermionic Dark Matter
We study the sensitivity of nEXO to solar neutrino charged-current interactions, $ν_e + ^{136}$Xe$\rightarrow ^{136}$Cs$^* + e^-$, as well as analogous interactions predicted by models of fermionic dark matter. Due to the recently observed low-lying isomeric states of $^{136}$Cs, these interactions will create a time-delayed coincident signal observable in the scintillation channel. Here we develop a detailed Monte Carlo of scintillation emission, propagation, and detection in the nEXO detecto…

Slowakei und Ungarn stellen sich in EU bei Ukraine-Politik quer
Auf dem EU-Gipfel in Brüssel zeigen sich deutliche Differenzen in der Ukraine-Politik. Der slowakische Ministerpräsident Robert Fico meldete Widerstand gegen das geplante 18. EU-Sanktionspaket gegen Russland an. Sein Land könne so lange nicht zustimmen, bis die slowakischen Bedenken hinsichtlich der Gasversorgung nach 2027 ausgeräumt seien. Die Slowakei bezieht i…

Trump gambles his presidency on war
If Iran does not agree to peace on Trump’s terms,
the president’s vow that
“there are many targets left”
opened the door to a much deeper and potentially longer conflict.
Already, that prospect is angering some members of his political base.

With fateful decision, Trump gambles his presidency on war
Trump rose to power criticizing Middle East wars. Now he may have his own.

Weighted Assumption Based Argumentation to reason about ethical principles and actions
We augment Assumption Based Argumentation (ABA for short) with weighted argumentation. In a nutshell, we assign weights to arguments and then derive the weight of attacks between ABA arguments. We illustrate our proposal through running examples in the field of ethical reasoning, and present an implementation based on Answer Set Programming.

The Energy Spectrum of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays across Declinations $-90^\circ$ to $+44.8^\circ$ as measured at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 2.5 EeV has been measured across the declination range $-90^\circ \leqδ\leq +44.8^\circ$ using data from $\sim 310{,}000$ events accrued at the Pierre Auger Observatory from an exposure of $(104{,}900\pm 3{,}100)$ km$^2\,$sr$\,$yr. No significant variations of energy spectra with declination are observed, after allowing or not for non-uniformities across the sky arising from the well-established dipolar anisotropies in the arrival directions of ultra-hi…
