The US is set to raise the number of military vessels deployed near Venezuela to eight this week,
which Maduro described as
“the greatest threat that has been seen on our continent in the last 100 years.”
Following an authorization by Trump to use military force against Latin American drug cartels,
the Associated Press and CBS News report that “the US Navy now has two Aegis guided-missile destroyers — the USS Gravelyand the USS Jason Dunham — in the Caribbean,

Maduro Says US Pointing '1,200 Missiles' at Venezuela After Trump Sends More Warships | Common Dreams
In a press conference on Monday, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said the US has "1,200 missiles" pointed at the country after Trump sent more warships. One US defense official said Trump is gearing up for "Noriega part two," suggesting regime change.

Investigating the Cognitive Response of Brake Lights in Initiating Braking Action Using EEG
Half of all road accidents result from either lack of driver attention or from maintaining insufficient separation between vehicles. Collision from the rear, in particular, has been identified as the most common class of accident in the UK, and its influencing factors have been widely studied for many years. Rear-mounted stop lamps, illuminated when braking, are the primary mechanism to alert following drivers to the need to reduce speed or brake. This paper develops a novel brain response appr…

Fascism offers them a “strong man” carnival photo cut-out where they get to put their face in the hole and take a selfie. They can tuck that selfie under their pillow at night, admiring their fake muscles in the photo and believing they are strong. It lets weak people play-act a strong person. It gives people with creeping feelings of worthlessness a magical sense of worth they don’t have to earn, just believe in.

Evidence for shape coexistence in $^{120}$Sn from the first $0^+_3$ lifetime measurement
The lifetime of the $0^+_3$ state in $^{120}$Sn was measured for the first time applying the fast-timing technique following thermal neutron capture. The mean lifetime of $τ= 50(7)$~ps leads to a $E0$ transition strength of $10^3\times ρ^2(E0;0^+_3\rightarrow0^+_2) = 120(50)$, suggesting shape coexistence and a high degree of mixing between the $0^+_2$ and $0^+_3$ states. With the newly measured lifetime, the $B(E2;0^+_3\rightarrow 2^+_1)$ value is 0.50(7)~W.u., which reveals that the $ρ^2(E…

Causal-EPIG: A Prediction-Oriented Active Learning Framework for CATE Estimation
Estimating the Conditional Average Treatment Effect (CATE) is often constrained by the high cost of obtaining outcome measurements, making active learning essential. However, conventional active learning strategies suffer from a fundamental objective mismatch. They are designed to reduce uncertainty in model parameters or in observable factual outcomes, failing to directly target the unobservable causal quantities that are the true objects of interest. To address this misalignment, we introduce…

Generalization Analysis for Classification on Korobov Space
In this paper, the classification algorithm arising from Tikhonov regularization is discussed. The main intention is to derive learning rates for the excess misclassification error according to the convex $η$-norm loss function $ϕ(v)=(1 - v)_{+}^η$, $η\geq1$. Following the argument, the estimation of error under Tsybakov noise conditions is studied. In addition, we propose the rate of $L_p$ approximation of functions from Korobov space $X^{2, p}([-1,1]^{d})$, $1\leq p \leq \infty$, by the s…

Soeben eine Absage einer booking.com -Unterkunft erhalten, wegen des medizinischen Assistenzhunds 🐕‍🦺 meiner Frau, und weil angeblich Booking.com die Beschränkung "mindestens 4 Nächte" nicht übernommen hätte.
Habe die Buchung storniert (zum Glück kostenfrei weil genügend früh), aber die Gastgeber auf das Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz hingewiesen.
