Read today’s pathetic remarks as an attempt to mock the military and all the people who serve in it so that the fascists can get what they crave: a monopoly on the perception of strength. It is a “culture war” in the truest sense of the word: an attempt to make lies about strength trump actual strength. (The very same principle is at play when fascists mock protestors, but I think the dissonance is culturally easier to spot here.)
Also read it as an attempt to consolidate military power. It is both. These things go together.
Dangerous times.

From Code to Concept: Evaluating Multiple Coordinated Views in Introductory Programming
Novice programmers often struggle to understand how code executes and to form the abstract mental models necessary for effective problem-solving, challenges that are amplified in large, diverse introductory courses where students' backgrounds, language proficiencies, and prior experiences vary widely. This study examines whether interactive, multi-representational visualizations, combining synchronized code views, memory diagrams, and conceptual analogies, can help manage cognitive load and fos…

Where MLLMs Attend and What They Rely On: Explaining Autoregressive Token Generation
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in aligning visual inputs with natural language outputs. Yet, the extent to which generated tokens depend on visual modalities remains poorly understood, limiting interpretability and reliability. In this work, we present EAGLE, a lightweight black-box framework for explaining autoregressive token generation in MLLMs. EAGLE attributes any selected tokens to compact perceptual regions while quantifying the relativ…

Remarks on the reinforcement of the spectrum of an elliptic problem with Robin boundary condition
We investigate the spectral properties of a differential elliptic operator on $H^1(\barΩ\cup Σ)$, where $Ω$ is a smooth domain surrounded by a layer $Σ$. The thickness of the layer is given by $\varepsilon h$, where $h$ is a positive function defined on the boundary $\partial Ω$ and $\varepsilon$ is the ellipticity constant of the operator in $Σ$. We prove that, in the limit for $\varepsilon$ going to $0$, the spectrum converges to the spectrum of a differential elliptic operator in $H^1(…

Since Trump retook office, the United States has withheld as much as $1 billion in funding for the U.N.,
and the organization has moved to cut staff as a result.
Trump said the U.N. is “not even coming close to living up to that potential.”
During his remarks, Trump also urged world leaders Tuesday to
❌ reject policies to fight climate change, calling them a “scam,
and criticized European nations for continuing to buy oil from Russia amid its war with Ukrain…
