President Joe Biden on Saturday called Donald Trump “clearly unhinged” and claimed that “something snapped” in the former president after he lost the 2020 election.
“It’s clear that … when he lost in 2020, something snapped in him,” Biden told supporters just outside Seattle at a private fundraiser Saturday
“He’s not only obsessed with losing in 2020, he’s clearly unhinged. Just listen to what he’s telling people.”

Here’s how I would like to make America great again:
By getting Republicans to stop lying about fraud,
stop legislating unnecessary voting restrictions
and restore what had been a bipartisan consensus
— that our elections are free and fair, a model for the world.
The 2020 election that Trump still insists was stolen from him?
A council of his own Homeland Security Department declared it “the most secure in American history.”

Opinion: U.S. elections have integrity. One party's politicians do not
Of all Trump’s shattered norms, the refusal to commit to accept election results is the most corrosive to American democracy.

Really? Clang 18.1 requires template args to use alias templates? 🤔
I mean, a common reason for aliases is to make shortcuts with pre-filled choices for selected class template parameters. 😕
PS: This is fixed in Clang trunk, but the issue feels too basic. GCC 10.1 had this working in *2020*.
I'm grateful to FOSS, but it's frustrating that I switch to Clang from GCC to dodge a GCC issue, only to have a different issue in Clang. And I really can't use trunk. 🥹

The Manueles - “Reggae Surf Afritanga Groove” (2020)
Modern surf rock from Spain 🇪🇸 🏄 🎸
The group was inspired by Manuel Freitas, an immigrant from Beluso, Spain who lived in California back in the 50’s and 60’s.
Freitas’ band, “The Black Rinchas” wrote and played proto-surf music, but never recorded an album.
In spite of this, the group supposedly inspired later groups such as The Shadows, The Ventures, Dick Dale and even Link Wray.

On vector parking functions and q-analogue
In 2000, it was demonstrated that the set of $x$-parking functions of length $n$, where $x$=($a,b,...,b$) $\in \mathbbm{N}^n$, is equivalent to the set of rooted multicolored forests on [$n$]=\{1,...,$n$\}. In 2020, Yue Cai and Catherine H. Yan systematically investigated the properties of rational parking functions. Subsequently, a series of Context-free grammars possessing the requisite property were introduced by William Y.C. Chen and Harold R.L. Yang in 2021. %An Abelian-type identity is de…

The Raiders had been native to California from the start of the franchise in 1960 until they moved to Las Vegas in 2020. The Raiders moved around California a bit. They stayed in Oakland until 1981 when they ventured to Los Angeles. They moved back to Oakland after the 1994 season. Now, the Raiders have their sights set on Orange County.

Revisiting general dark matter-bound-electron interactions
In this letter we revisit general dark matter (DM)-bound-electron interactions studied previously in the influential work of [Catena et al., Phys. Rev. Res. 2, 033195 (2020)]. We derive the DM-electron response functions and find a crucial minus sign was missed for the second atomic response function $W_2$ defined in that work. The minus sign has significant phenomenological consequences when explaining experimental bounds on specific DM scenarios. Furthermore, for the most general DM-electron …

MANTRA: Temporal Betweenness Centrality Approximation through Sampling
We present MANTRA, a framework for approximating the temporal betweenness centrality of all nodes in a temporal graph. Our method can compute probabilistically guaranteed high-quality temporal betweenness estimates (of nodes and temporal edges) under all the feasible temporal path optimalities, presented in the work of Buß et al. (KDD, 2020). We provide a sample-complexity analysis of our method and speed up the temporal betweenness computation using a state-of-the-art progressive sampling app…

The Dallas Cowboys did this to themselves. Their franchise quarterback, Dak Prescott, who just finished second in MVP voting is entering a contract year with a no-tag and no-trade clause in his contract in the same year in which the salary cap made an unprecedented $30 million jump. He's got all the leverage imaginable in his side while all the Cowboys seem to have is Trey Lance, a quarterback who has attempted 132 passes total since 2020. Beyond his leverage, Dak is currently witnessing a lack…

Pursuing equitable access to vaccines for the next epidemic
To mitigate the pandemic stemming from COVID-19, numerous nations have initiated extensive vaccination campaigns for their citizens since late 2020. While affluent countries have predominantly received vaccine allocations, fewer doses have been dispatched to nations with lower average incomes. This unequal distribution not only widens the disparity between wealthy and impoverished regions but also prolongs the pandemic, evident in the emergence of new viral variants.

On the logic of interventionist counterfactuals under indeterministic causal laws
We investigate the generalization of causal models to the case of indeterministic causal laws that was suggested in Halpern (2000). We give an overview of what differences in modeling are enforced by this more general perspective, and propose an implementation of generalized models in the style of the causal team semantics of Barbero & Sandu (2020). In these models, the laws are not represented by functions (as in the deterministic case), but more generally by relations. We analyze significan…

A characterization on trees $T$ with $m(T, λ)=p(T)-2$
Let $m(G,λ)$ be the multiplicity of an eigenvalue $λ$ of a connected graph $G$. Wang et al. [Linear Algebra Appl. 584(2020), 257-266] proved that for any connected graph $G\neq C_n$, $m(G, λ) \leq 2c(G) + p(G) -1$, where $c (G) = |E(G)| - |V (G)| + 1$ and $p(G)$ are the cyclomatic number and the number of pendant vertices of $G$, respectively. In the same paper, they proposed the problem to characterize all connected graphs $G$ with eigenvalue $λ$ such that $m(G, λ) =2c…
