Balancing rationality and social influence: Alpha-rational Nash equilibrium in games with herding
The classical game theory models rational players and proposes Nash equilibrium (NE) as the solution. However, real-world scenarios rarely feature rational players; instead, players make inconsistent and irrational decisions. Often, irrational players exhibit herding behaviour by simply following the majority. In this paper, we consider the mean-field game with $α$-fraction of rational players and the rest being herding-irrational players. For such a game, we introduce a novel concept of equ…

Dallas Cowboys sign second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland following minicamp
The Dallas Cowboys sealed the deal on the last of the 2024 draftees this week, inking rookie Marshawn Kneeland to a four-year deal on Tuesday. Kneeland’s was the final signature the team needed after mandatory minicamp wrapped up last week. The other seven rookies signed their deals before rookie minicamp last month. Per Spotrac, Kneeland is expected to earn $6.79 million over his first four seasons, or just shy of $1.7 million per year. His deal comes with a signing bonus estimated at $1.75 …

Most migrants likely wouldn’t say they’re fleeing climate change.
They’re escaping war, economic uncertainty, social instability and the like.
But climate change multiplies those threats.
It’s not a coincidence that 95% of conflict refugees in 2020 came from global-warming hot spots.
A 2021 study by researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico found the movement of low-income farmers from Mexico to the U.S. not only tripled during times of drought but …

It’s far cheaper to help migrants before they leave home
As global temperatures rise, so will the frequency of heat waves, droughts, floods, pandemics, natural disasters, food and water shortages and conflicts over resources.

So, France plans to force the Internet domain name system servers (such as Google's 8.8.8.8) to give wrong answers.
(Imagine what that will do to DNSSEC, or how it will boost DoH and DoT access to DNS.)
Sounds a lot like the Fifth Lateran Council's attempt to limit the publication of books (using excommunication as a tool.)
Compare the following two items (in the second one, search for the heading "On printing books")

The difference between Israel and Hamas is clear, one a democracy (with problems) and the other is a terrorist organisation. At the same time it means Israel's actions should maintain high standards with regard to innocent victims. They seem to be failing in that respect...

The Northeast U.S. is bracing for an invasion of giant venomous spiders with 4-inch-long legs that can parachute through the air. 
Earlier this year, New Jersey Pest Control warned of the incoming spiders, saying #Joro #spiders will be "hard to miss" as females have a leg span of up to 4 inches and are known …

Giant venomous flying spiders with 4-inch legs heading to New York area as they spread across East Coast, experts say
"It is a matter of when, not if" the spiders are set to arrive, experts say, and it could happen any day now.
