“The release of a second consecutive poor #JobsReport confirmed the reality that Mr. Trump has been trying to avoid. The labor market is stalling [as a result] of his agenda. The data showed the first net loss of jobs since [2020], when the pandemic was raging.”

A Second Weak Jobs Report Challenges Trump’s Claim the Economy Is Booming
After a bad employment report in August, President Trump fired the official in charge of the numbers. This month’s data was just as disappointing.

STRRINGS: STReams in Residual Images of Nearby GalaxieS
Tidal features from galaxy mergers, particularly stellar streams, offer valuable insights into galaxy assembly and dark matter halo properties. This paper aims to identify a large sample of nearby stellar streams suitable for detailed modelling and comparison with simulations to enable population-level constraints on halo properties. We visually inspect and compile a tidal feature catalogue for $19,387$ galaxies with redshift $z \leq 0.02$ from the Siena Galaxy Atlas 2020 using original, model,…

This week's #ThursDeath is a twofer. Death-doom two piece GRAVE EATER from Wales, UK put out two filthy demos in 2020, one in January and one in September. Not sure which I like more, but they're both chock full of raw, cavernous, growly, sludgy, often slow, plodding riffs and grooves. Even some actual power tools in the last track of the first demo here, 'Powertool Lobotomy'. Hope we se…

fly_hemibrain: Fly hemibrain (2020)
A synaptic map of the hemibrain connectome of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using EM reconstruction techniques. Neurons are labeled by their type. Edges are annotated by the connection strength between the neurons.
This network has 21739 nodes and 4259624 edges.

Economic inequality has reached a staggering milestone in Silicon Valley:
just nine households hold 15% of the region’s wealth, according to new research from San Jose State University.
🔥A mere 0.1% of residents hold 71% of the tech hub’s wealth.
The findings come from the 2025 “Silicon Valley Pain Index”,
a report published by SJSU’s Human Rights Institute each year since 2020. The report aims to quantify “structured inequalities” in Silicon Valley, and measures “pai…

Nonlinear-linear duality for multipath quantum interference
In quantum optics, the postselection amplitude of a nondegenerate parametric down-conversion (PDC) process is linked to a beamsplitter (BS) via partial time reversal, up to a normalization coefficient which is related to the parametric gain [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 117, 33107 (2020)]. A special example where the gain is low is reminiscent of Klyshko's advanced-wave picture in quantum imaging. Here, we propose and prove a generalized duality for multiple spatial paths connecting a quantum non…

Many phases in a hairy box in three dimensions
In this paper, I investigate gravitational thermodynamics of the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar system in three dimensions without a cosmological constant. In the previous work by Krishnan,Shekhar, and Bala Subramanian (Nucl. Phys. B 958 (2020) 115115 [33]), it was argued that this system has no BH saddles, but has only empty (flat space) saddles and boson star saddles. It was then concluded that the structure of the thermodynamic phase space is much simpler than in the higher dimensional cases. I wil…

At U.S. request, France jails Russian basketball player Daniil Kasatkin on suspicion of ransomware conspiracy
A court in Paris has jailed Russian basketball player Daniil Kasatkin on suspicion of involvement in a hacker group’s extortion activities. The 26-year-old was arrested on June 21 at Charles de Gaulle airport at the request of the United States, which has charged him with conspiracy to commit computer fraud. According to American investigators, Kasatkin acted as an accomplice in a hacker group’s ransomware attacks on roughly 900 companies, including two federal institutions, between 2020 an…

Do Large Language Models Judge Error Severity Like Humans?
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used as automated evaluators in natural language generation, yet it remains unclear whether they can accurately replicate human judgments of error severity. In this study, we systematically compare human and LLM assessments of image descriptions containing controlled semantic errors. We extend the experimental framework of van Miltenburg et al. (2020) to both unimodal (text-only) and multimodal (text + image) settings, evaluating four error types: a…

faculty_hiring_us: Faculty hiring networks in the US (2022)
Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …
