I can't help feeling that any 'peace deal' for #Gaza supported by Cooper and Trump, and making Tony #Blair interim governor, will be a permanent stain on the conscience of the world.

We've reached the point in the evolution of cyber scamming where military units are blowing up buildings to stop the digital crimes.

Stragglers from Myanmar scam center raided by army cross into Thailand as buildings are blown up
A Thai regional army commander say that the number of people fleeing from Myanmar to Thailand after Myanmar’s military shut down a major online scam center has slowed to a trickle. The news on Tuesday came after more than 1,500 people had left in the past week. The KK Park site was identified by Thai officials and independent experts as housing a major cybercrime operation. It was raided by Myanmar’s army in mid-October as part of operations starting in early September to suppress cross-bor…

SpinGPT: A Large-Language-Model Approach to Playing Poker Correctly
The Counterfactual Regret Minimization (CFR) algorithm and its variants have enabled the development of pokerbots capable of beating the best human players in heads-up (1v1) cash games and competing with them in six-player formats. However, CFR's computational complexity rises exponentially with the number of players. Furthermore, in games with three or more players, following Nash equilibrium no longer guarantees a non-losing outcome. These limitations, along with others, significantly restric…

Fusion of 12C+28Si at deep sub-barrier energies
The existence of fusion hindrance is not well established in light heavy-ion systems. Studying slightly heavier cases allows extrapolating the trend to light systems of astrophysical interest. Fusion of 12C + 28Si has been measured down to deep sub-barrier energies, using 28Si beams from the XTU Tandem accelerator of LNL on thin 12C targets. The fusion-evaporation residues were detected by a detector telescope following an electrostatic beam separator, and coincidences between the gamma-ray arr…

Weekly Climate Solutions Digest
Welcome Late October light sits lower on the day, turning sidewalks to amber and orchard leaves to copper. Across marshes, geese draw their careful V, a moving stitch that makes the sky feel hand sewn. This week carries the same feeling of stitching things together. Power systems link up across

Arriving at Act I, The Alters is quite engaging. It's a video game, in case you are reaching for your favourite search engine. So far, the sci-fi aspect has that structured feeling of the Eastern European/Soviet branch of the genre, mixed up with the post-Soviet era shift of values and cultural trends -- still kind of bland, but looking at the Western guilty thrill of the dystopian. It's a damn good, well-made game. I hope it holds up in that way until the end.

Feeling very relaxed. Scrolling Mastodon while listening to Christie Moore. The back door is open and cool air is wafting in. I'm sipping a glass of icy cold pink Moscato. Nice.

Stray light in 3D porous nanostructures of single crystalline copper film
In the design of optical devices and components, geometric structures and optical properties of materials, such as absorption, refraction, reflection, diffraction, scattering, and trapping, have been utilized. Finding the ideal material with certain optical and geometric characteristics is essential for a customized application. Here, we fabricated unoxidizable achromatic copper films (ACFs) on Al2O3 substrates utilizing an atomic sputtering epitaxy apparatus. ACFs are made up of two regions ve…
