Nixon White House lawyer flags case that proves Trump has 'no criminal immunity'
The conservative Supreme Court wants to hand Donald Trump immunity, but it has to get around a past Nixon case to do so, former Richard Nixon White House counsel John Dean said on Thursday afternoon.Dean, who has previously mused about the ex-president's legal issues, took to social media following ...

Europe falling behind US and China in pharma innovation, warns AstraZeneca chief
https://www.ft.com/content/2c0d4917-f837-4aad-be54-6a727800c3e4
<< Europe absolutely does need to invest more in R&D, but for this case, the lean to the US is mostly due to the scandalous drug pricing and extortionate healthcare practices that US big pharma packages as innovation.
(As you can see by the stunning lack of US innovation in unprofitable medicine: paediatric, rare illnesses, those associated like lower socio-economic groups, ...)

From weak to strong-coupling superconductivity tuned by substrate in TiN films
The interplay between substrates and superconducting thin films has attracted increasing attention. Here, we report an in-depth investigation on superconducting properties of the epitaxial TiN thin films grown on two different substrates by dc reactive magnetron sputtering. The TiN films grown on (0001) sapphire exhibit (111) crystal orientation, while that grown on (100) Si substrates exhibit (100) orientation. Moreover, the samples grown on Si reveal a relatively lower level of disorder, acco…

Epidemic risk perception and social interactions lead to awareness cascades on multiplex networks
The course of an epidemic is not only shaped by infection transmission over face-to-face contacts, but also by preventive behaviour caused by risk perception and social interactions. This study explores the dynamics of coupled awareness and biological infection spread within a two-layer multiplex network framework. One layer embodies face-to-face contacts, with a biological infection transmission following a simple contagion model, the SIR process. Awareness, modelled by the linear threshold mo…

The lure of CGA graphics for indie games - Indie Games World
Games often try to tout great graphics, but what if poor graphics like CGA actually bring out the quality of the game better? Let's explore.

CORE-BEHRT: A Carefully Optimized and Rigorously Evaluated BEHRT
BERT-based models for Electronic Health Records (EHR) have surged in popularity following the release of BEHRT and Med-BERT. Subsequent models have largely built on these foundations despite the fundamental design choices of these pioneering models remaining underexplored. To address this issue, we introduce CORE-BEHRT, a Carefully Optimized and Rigorously Evaluated BEHRT. Through incremental optimization, we isolate the sources of improvement for key design choices, giving us insights into the…
