It is only a matter of time until noem, homan, dhs, ice and potus realize dropping people out of aircraft is cheaper than housing or moving them.
Unless they already have.
Rumors are the US is engaging in death flights. Already there are some known flight paths of ice flights turning around over bodies of water.
The US Congress and international community seem to be the only things that can stop this.

We in Game Workers Unite Ireland stand in solidarity with Animation Workers of Ireland, and the international trade union coalition happening to organise against the threat of AI in the animation industry, and we support their call to acton.

Trump’s determination to move fast could slow implementation of his tariff regime.
It also threatens to cost him credibility with businesses he’s counting on to invest in the U.S.
and world leaders whose buy-in he needs to negotiate trade deals.
Still, few expect a different posture from the famously intransigent fool or any second-guessing following the Wednesday ruling from the U.S. Court of International Trade, which briefly halted most of the tariffs

State Change via One-Dimensional Scattering in Quantum Mechanics
We consider a pair of particles that interact in a one-dimensional setting via a delta-function potential. One of the particles is confined to a one-dimensional box, and the other particle is free. The free particle is incident from the left with specified energy, and it may cause changes in state of the confined particle before flying away to the left or to the right. We present a non-perturbative formulation and computational scheme that determines the probability of any such outcome, as a fu…

Localized atomic vibrations caused by point impurity in long chains of noble gas atoms adsorbed in outer grooves of carbon nanobundle
The characteristics of discrete vibrational levels caused by a point three-parameter substitutional impurity in long linear chain of inert gas atoms adsorbed in groove on the surface of carbon nanobundle are studied. The impurity atom differs from the atoms of the chain in the following parameters: the mass, the parameter of interaction with neighboring atoms and the parameter of interaction with the substrate. Analytical expressions for the frequencies of the localized vibrations and the inten…

Code-based $[3,1]$-avoiders in finite affine spaces $\mathrm{AG}(n,2)$
The author, together with Nagy, studied the following problem on unavoidable intersections of given size in binary affine spaces. Given an $m$-element set $S\subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$, is there guaranteed to be a $[k,t]$-flat, that is, a $k$-dimensional affine subspace of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ containing exactly $t$ points of $S$? Such problems can be viewed as generalizations of the cap set problem over the binary field. They conjectured that for every fixed pair $(k,t)$ with $k\ge 1$ and $0\le t\le…

The NEID Earth Twin Survey. III. Survey Performance After Three Years on Sky
The NEID Earth Twin Survey (NETS) has been delivering a rich set of precise radial velocity (RV) measurements for 41 bright, nearby main sequence stars. Here, we describe the status of the survey after three years on sky and we present the full set of RV measurements and accompanying stellar activity indicators. We discuss intermediate survey diagnostics, including calibration of the known RV zero point offset introduced following the Contreras fire in 2022 and the identification of an undiagno…

Fair Box ordinate transform for forecasts following a multivariate Gaussian law
Monte Carlo techniques are the method of choice for making probabilistic predictions of an outcome in several disciplines. Usually, the aim is to generate calibrated predictions which are statistically indistinguishable from the outcome. Developers and users of such Monte Carlo predictions are interested in evaluating the degree of calibration of the forecasts. Here, we consider predictions of $p$-dimensional outcomes sampling a multivariate Gaussian distribution and apply the Box ordinate tran…

Influence of oxygen-defects on intraband terahertz conductivity of carbon nanotubes
The exceptional charge transport properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) enable numerous ultrafast optoelectronic applications. Modifying SWCNTs by introducing defects significantly impacts the performance of nanotube-based devices, making defect characterization crucial. This research tracked these effects in oxygen plasma-treated SWCNT thin films. Sub-picosecond electric fields of varying strengths and additional photoexcitation were used to assess how defects influence charge c…
