Three minors have been charged in the fatal shooting of a 53-year-old man last month in east Bakersfield, according to authorities.
The man’s father was also injured in the gunfire.
On July 18 around 7:25 p.m., Kern County sheriff’s deputies responded to a shooting in the 800 block of Crane Street, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release.
Deputies found two people suffering from gunshot wounds; one died at the scene, and the other was hospitalized for treatment.

After a few weeks with Debian Stable, I decided yesterday to switch to Debian Testing after all. On more modern computers, it really does make a difference whether I have kernel 6.3 or 7.2 available or can use significantly more up-to-date packages.
Last month I also played around with Debian Sid, and it was absolutely stable for me, though the constant updates—often several times a day—were annoying. So Testing is the perfect compromise for me.

Weak cool core, weak turbulence: XRISM, XMM-Newton and Chandra spectroscopy of the core of Abell 1413
Egemen Gormez, Murat Hudaverdi
https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.08778 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2609.08778 https://arxiv.org/html/2609.08778
arXiv:2609.08778v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present the first XRISM spectroscopy of the core of Abell 1413 (z = 0.143), combining 104.7 ks of Resolve with archival XMM-Newton and Chandra spectra of a matched sky region. A1413 is hot, massive and relaxed but lacks a strong cool core (t_cool = 6.4 Gyr), a regime in which the low turbulence reported to date has been tested only once, in A3571. The Resolve spectrum requires a single velocity-broadened component with kT = 7.06 ( 0.33, -0.43) keV and a line-of-sight velocity dispersion sigma_v = 170 ( 25, -24) km/s (M_3D = 0.217). The bulk velocity relative to the brightest cluster galaxy, v_bulk = -24 /- 26 (z_ICM) /- 71 (z_BCG) km/s, is limited by the optical redshift rather than by Resolve, and disfavours coherent line-of-sight sloshing. The non-thermal pressure fraction, 2.5 /- 0.7 per cent, implies a hydrostatic mass bias b < 2.5 per cent, comparable to the strong cool-core cluster A2029 (2.6 /- 0.3 per cent) and, at matched sampling scale, if anything below it. With A3571 (1.3 /- 0.3 per cent), to which A1413 rescales within 0.2 sigma, two weak cool cores now show that this quiescence does not require central cooling. The resolved Fe-K He-alpha complex gives Fe = 0.38 /- 0.03 (stat) /- 0.04 (sys) solar; Ni/Fe, separated from Fe K-beta for the first time, is solar, as is the pattern as a whole. The Ne, Mg and Si lines that set Ne/Fe, Mg/Fe and Si/Fe lie below 2 keV, where our instruments disagree by 10-20 per cent; we therefore do not regard the SNIa fraction as constrained.

Deformation algorithm: Deforming (2 1)-dimensional integrable systems to higher dimensional ones
Wang Fa-Ren, Jia Man, Lou S Y
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.01293 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.01293 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.01293
arXiv:2608.01293v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The deformation algorithm based on conservation laws can lift (1 1)-dimensional integrable systems to higher-dimensional counterparts while preserving Lax integrability, yet its generalization to (2 1)-dimensional models has remained an open problem. This paper establishes a unified deformation framework for two (2 1)-dimensional integrable equations: the anisotropic Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation and the isotropic Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov (NNV) equation. By introducing a set of mutually commuting field-dependent deformation operators, we systematically construct infinite families of ($m 3$)-dimensional integrable KP and NNV hierarchies, derive their closed-form Lax pairs, and rigorously verify integrability via the vanishing commutator condition of Lax operators. For each high-dimensional hierarchy, concrete finite-dimensional master systems are obtained by truncating auxiliary spatial variables: a (3 1)-dimensional KP system and a (4 1)-dimensional generalized NNV system. Further symmetry reductions recover the original (2 1)-dimensional KP and NNV equations, and more importantly produce two distinct Harry-Dym (HD)-type reciprocal integrable systems. The KP reduction yields an anisotropic (2 1)-dimensional HD model, while the NNV reduction generates the first spatially isotropic two-space-dimensional HD system reported so far, filling a notable gap in existing literature. Parallel comparison of the KP and NNV branches reveals that the spatial symmetry of the original two-dimensional parent equation directly governs the symmetry properties of its high-dimensional deformations and HD dual subsystems. Our work not only extends the conservation-law deformation conjecture beyond (1 1)-dimensions to accommodate both strong Lax and weak Lax structures, but also provides a universal route to construct reciprocal links for multi-dimensional integrable systems.

Lonic: Algorithm-Hardware Co-Design for Energy-Efficient Fully Local Online SNN Training with INT4 Precision
Peilin Chen, Xiaoxuan Yang
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.12500 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.12500 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.12500
arXiv:2608.12500v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have recently attracted increasing attention as an energy-efficient learning paradigm. Existing works also propose temporally and fully local online SNN training algorithms to address memory and computation overhead. However, they do not consider whether the algorithmic advantages can be effectively translated into real-device efficiency. To address this challenge, we present Lonic, an algorithm-hardware co-design for energy-efficient and scalable fully local online supervised SNN learning. On the algorithm side, we implement an INT4 low-precision training algorithm for fully local online SNN learning while maintaining accuracy. On the hardware side, to leverage the benefits of the proposed algorithm, we introduce reconfigurable multiplier-free integer PE arrays, dual-optimization zero-gating strategy, temporal prefix-accelerated local learning dataflow, and low-precision weight movement to significantly improve training efficiency. Compared to Apple M4 and Nvidia V100 GPUs, Lonic achieves average energy efficiency improvements of 17.44x and 66.28x, respectively, along with speedups of 3.25x and 1.02x, respectively. Moreover, Lonic achieves 15.95x (14.64x) and 1.52x (7.28x) energy efficiency (area efficiency) over ASIC TPU-like and H2Learn accelerators, respectively. The code for Lonic is available at https://github.com/peilin-chen/Lonic.
