The Senate on Thursday night approved its $925 billion version of the
National Defense Authorization Act,
the annual must-pass Pentagon policy blueprint,
setting up what is expected to be a lengthy negotiation with the House to finalize the bill.

The legislation, deadlocked for weeks over various partisan disagreements,
advanced by a margin of 77 to 20 following amendment votes earlier in the evening.

Senate and House staff will next reconcile their bills…

OBJVanish: Physically Realizable Text-to-3D Adv. Generation of LiDAR-Invisible Objects
LiDAR-based 3D object detectors are fundamental to autonomous driving, where failing to detect objects poses severe safety risks. Developing effective 3D adversarial attacks is essential for thoroughly testing these detection systems and exposing their vulnerabilities before real-world deployment. However, existing adversarial attacks that add optimized perturbations to 3D points have two critical limitations: they rarely cause complete object disappearance and prove difficult to implement in p…

Probing viscosity of the intracluster medium using ram-pressure stripping
Galaxies falling into galaxy clusters can leave imprints on both the corona of galaxies and the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters. Throughout this infall process, the galaxy's atmosphere is subjected to ram pressure from a headwind, leading to the stripping morphology observed in its tail. The morphological evolution is affected by the properties of the surrounding ICM such as magnetic fields and viscosity. In this Letter, we perform 3D Braginskii-magnetohydrodynamic simulations usin…

Looks like Plankey lost his nomination to head CISA and we head into 2026 with no real leader at the cyber agency.

Sean Plankey nomination to lead CISA appears to be over after Thursday vote
Sean Plankey’s nomination to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency looks to be over following his exclusion from a Senate vote Thursday on a panel of Trump administration picks.

"The Supreme Court Is Failing at Its Most Important Job" by #nyt "In many of those instances, however, the Supreme Court later overruled the lower courts, allowing Mr. Trump’s power grabs. […] The justices have wholly denied only one of Mr. Trump’s 32 emergency petitions in his second term"

Opinion | The Supreme Court Is Failing at Its Most Important Job
Until the court imposes limits, the administration will keep acting as if there are none.

@… just a question, I had a look at some your extraordinary work, and I realized that in the example pictures you have an Æ/æ and a Þ/þ, but there's no Ð/ð. Is the letter missing just in the picture or also the fonts? I know Icelandic doesn't have many uses, but since you created two of the special characters I wonder if you forgot the third

At least nobody is falling out of the windows. 8h later: JFC!!!😬.

I had over three hundred accounts following me that I didn't follow back, mostly because I lost track of all the new followers.
So I did the unthinkable thing:
I asked Perplexity to write me a python script to follow everyone back. I will just unfollow some of them later, if I don't like them enough. But for now, everyone gets the benefit of the doubt.😉
The script needed some adjustments, but it worked.
Here's the script if you need it:
