Why do we have to import every American stupidity.
You are a governor of a sovereign, politically independent central bank of a sovereign state. Why do you want to invest in a financial system explicitly designed to undermine that sovereignty, other than “your stonks to the moon”?

ČNB nakoupila testovací portfolio digitálních aktiv za milion dolarů
Česká národní banka (ČNB) nakoupila digitální aktiva založená na blockchainu za milion dolarů (20,9 milionu korun). Na vytvořeném testovacím portfoliu, jehož součástí jsou bitcoin, stablecoiny navázané na dolar a tokenizované depozitum, chce získat praktickou zkušenost s držením digitálních aktiv. Portfolio nebude součástí devizových rezerv, uvedla centrální banka.

Multimodal Policy Internalization for Conversational Agents
Modern conversational agents like ChatGPT and Alexa+ rely on predefined policies specifying metadata, response styles, and tool-usage rules. As these LLM-based systems expand to support diverse business and user queries, such policies, often implemented as in-context prompts, are becoming increasingly complex and lengthy, making faithful adherence difficult and imposing large fixed computational costs. With the rise of multimodal agents, policies that govern visual and multimodal behaviors are …

Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk’s cost-cutting blitz are being asked to return to work.
The General Services Administration has given the employees
— who managed government workspaces
— until the end of the week to accept or decline reinstatement, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press.
Those who accept must report for duty on Oct. 6 after what amounts to a seven-month paid vacation,
during which time the G…

White House rehires hundreds of employees terminated by DOGE
Hundreds of laid-off federal employees who managed government workspaces are being called back to their jobs as the Trump administration walks back plans to slash its real estate portfolio. The administration has given employees until the end of this week to accept or decline reinstatement, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press. Those who accept must report to work on Oct. 6 after what amounts to a seven-month paid vacation. Rep. Greg Stanton of Arizona, the top Democrat on the s…

Abstract: The discovery of optical frequency combs (OFCs) has revolutionised science and technology by bridging electronics and photonics, driving major advances in precision measurements, atomic clocks, spectroscopy, telecommunications, and astronomy. However, current OFC systems still require further development to enable broader adoption in fields such as communication, aerospace, defence, and healthcare. There is a growing need for compact, portable OFCs that deliver high output power, robust self-referencing, and application-specific spectral coverage. On the conceptual side, progress toward such systems is hindered by an incomplete understanding of the fundamental principles governing OFC generation in emerging devices and materials, as well as evolving insights into the interplay between soliton and mode-locking effects. This roadmap presents the vision of a diverse group of academic and industry researchers and educators from Europe, along with their collaborators, on the current status and future directions of OFC science. It highlights a multidisciplinary approach that integrates novel physics, engineering innovation, and advanced researcher training. Topics include advances in soliton science as it relates to OFCs, the extension of OFC spectra into the visible and mid-infrared ranges, metrology applications and noise performance of integrated OFC sources, new fibre-based OFC modules, OFC lasers and OFC applications in astronomy.
