Space Mission Options for Reconnaissance and Mitigation of Asteroid 2024 YR4
Near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered on 2024-12-27 and its probability of Earth impact in December 2032 peaked at about 3% on 2025-02-18. Additional observations ruled out Earth impact by 2025-02-23. However, the probability of lunar impact in December 2032 then rose, reaching about 4% by the end of the apparition in May 2025. James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations on 2025-03-26 estimated the asteroid's diameter at 60 +/- 7 m. Studies of 2024 YR4's potential lunar impact effects …

Finding SSH Strict Key Exchange Violations by State Learning
SSH is an important protocol for secure remote shell access to servers on the Internet. At USENIX 2024, Bäumer et al. presented the Terrapin attack on SSH, which relies on the attacker injecting optional messages during the key exchange. To mitigate this attack, SSH vendors adopted an extension developed by OpenSSH called strict key exchange ("strict KEX"). With strict KEX, optional messages are forbidden during the handshake, preventing the attack. In practice, this should simplify the state …

Runtime-Extensible SQL Parsers Using PEG
Despite their central role in processing queries, parsers have not received any noticeable attention in the data systems space. State-of-the art systems are content with ancient old parser generators. These generators create monolithic, inflexible and unforgiving parsers that hinder innovation in query languages and frustrate users. Instead, parsers should be rewritten using modern abstractions like Parser Expression Grammars (PEG), which allow dynamic changes to the accepted query syntax and b…

When Hallucination Costs Millions: Benchmarking AI Agents in High-Stakes Adversarial Financial Markets
We present CAIA, a benchmark exposing a critical blind spot in AI evaluation: the inability of state-of-the-art models to operate in adversarial, high-stakes environments where misinformation is weaponized and errors are irreversible. While existing benchmarks measure task completion in controlled settings, real-world deployment demands resilience against active deception. Using crypto markets as a testbed where $30 billion was lost to exploits in 2024, we evaluate 17 models on 178 time-anchore…

Framing Unionization on Facebook: Communication around Representation Elections in the United States
Digital media have become central to how labor unions communicate, organize, and sustain collective action. Yet little is known about how unions' online discourse relates to concrete outcomes such as representation elections. This study addresses the gap by combining National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election data with 158k Facebook posts published by U.S. labor unions between 2015 and 2024. We focused on five discourse frames widely recognized in labor and social movement communication res…

Itô-Wentzell formulas for semimartingale conditional laws with applications to mean-field control
The present paper is an extension of Fadle-Touzi (2024). Following the same methodology, merely based on Taylor expansions, we establish the Itô and Itô-Wentzell formulae for flows of conditional distributions of general semimartingales, thus allowing for discontinuous semimartingales with possibly discontinuous flows of conditional marginals. We apply these results to derive the dynamic programming equations corresponding to mean field control problems with Poisson type common noise and mean…

According to our experience from VBS2023 and the feedback from the IVR4B special session at CBMI2023, we have largely revised the diveXplore system for VBS2024. It now integrates OpenCLIP trained on the LAION-2B dataset for image/text embeddings that are used for free-text and visual similarity search, a query server that is able to distribute different queries and merge the results, a user interface optimized for fast browsing, as well as an exploration view for large clusters of similar video…

Symmetry analysis and new partially invariant solutions for the gas dynamics system with a special equation of state
This paper is a contribution to the symmetry analysis of the gas dynamics system in the vein of the ''podmodeli'' (submodels) program outlined by Ovsyannikov (1994). We consider the case of the special state equation, prescribing pressure to be the sum of entropy and an arbitrary function of density. Such a system has a 12-dimensional symmetry Lie algebra. This work advances the study of its four-dimensional subalgebras, continuing the work started in Siraeva (2024). For a large subset of not p…

Nonlinear Fisher information, corresponding functional inequalities and applications
We study the evolution of the nonlinear version of the Fisher information along the quasilinear heat equation. We also provide a nonlinear version of a recent functional inequality (Cieślak--Fuest--Hajduk--Sierżęga, 2024), corresponding to the nonlinear heat equation. Next, applications of our version of nonlinear Fisher information to the 1D critical quasilinear fully parabolic Keller--Segel system are given. In particular, the global existence of solutions to the critical nonlinear diffusi…

Nothing more to be said here…
“An inmate who has pleaded guilty to murdering Robert Pickton in prison last year says he did it for the serial killer's victims.
Martin Charest admitted on Thursday morning to fatally assaulting Pickton with a broken broom handle at the Port-Cartier federal penitentiary in May 2024.
Charest pleaded guilty to first-degree murder during a court appearance in Sept-Îles, Que., northeast of Quebec City.
Pickton was convicted in 2007 of six counts of second-degree murder, but confessed to killing a total of 49 women whom he lured to his pig farm near Vancouver.
A statement of facts read out in court detailed how Charest locked himself into a room with Pickton and assaulted him twice while guards were unable to enter.
Charest told the judge he murdered Pickton after the serial killer had continued to brag about the murders and told other inmates he'd commit more crimes if he was ever released.”
