Das ging gerade an die CDU-Bundestagsfraktion. Und mit der zusätzlichen Frage, wo die Gegenwehr und das Rückgrat der SPD bleibt, auch an diese.

“Are we the baddies?” is not a question anyone in the West has to ask themselves. There’s no question about it. You were. You are. Will you continue to be? That’s the only question that matters and the answer is entirely up to you.
Silence is complicity.
Inaction is complicity.
Apologism is complicity.

Attached: 1 image More RAF jets are being sent to the Middle East, Keir Starmer has said after Iran threatened to target UK, French and US bases if the countries help stop strikes on Israel. Additional refuelling aircraft have been deployed from UK bases and more fast jets will be sent over, it is understood. The UK already has RAF jets in the Middle East as part of Operation Shader. https://www.thenational.scot/news/25239897.uk-jets-sent-middle-east-despite-calls-de-escalation/ 🕎 �…

HARMONY: A Scalable Distributed Vector Database for High-Throughput Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search
Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search (ANNS) is essential for various data-intensive applications, including recommendation systems, image retrieval, and machine learning. Scaling ANNS to handle billions of high-dimensional vectors on a single machine presents significant challenges in memory capacity and processing efficiency. To address these challenges, distributed vector databases leverage multiple nodes for the parallel storage and processing of vectors. However, existing solutions often suf…

Ukrainisches Militär drängt russische Truppen in Sumy zurück
Laut dem ukrainischen Präsidenten Wolodymyr Selenskyj verdrängen ukrainische Streitkräfte russische Truppen aus der Grenzregion Sumy. "Unsere Einheiten in der Region Sumy drängen die Besatzer allmählich zurück", sagte Selenskyj in seiner nächtlichen Videoansprache. Weitere Einzelheiten nannte der ukrainische Präsident nicht. Russische Stre…

Accurate Reduced Floating-Point Precision Implicit Monte Carlo
This work describes methodologies to successfully implement the Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) scheme for thermal radiative transfer in reduced-precision floating-point arithmetic. The methods used can be broadly categorized into scaling approaches and floating-point arithmetic manipulations. Scaling approaches entail re-scaling values to ensure computations stay within a representable range. Floating-point arithmetic manipulations involve changes to order of operations and alternative summation al…

Stark Tuning and Charge State Control in Individual Telecom C-Band Quantum Dots
Telecom-wavelength quantum dots (QDs) are emerging as a promising solution for generating deterministic single-photons compatible with existing fiber-optic infrastructure. Emission in the low-loss C-band minimizes transmission losses, making them ideal for long-distance quantum communication. In this work, we present the first demonstration of both Stark tuning and charge state control of individual InAs/InP QDs operating within the telecom C-band. These QDs are grown by droplet epitaxy and emb…
