"Russen en Chinezen proberen voortdurend in te breken in systemen van Nederlandse overheden, bedrijven, de energievoorziening en infrastructuur. Dat doen ze om informatie te stelen, of om systemen lam te kunnen leggen, direct of op termijn. Ook lokale overheden worden daarbij in toenemende mate doelwit, mede omdat die hun ict-beveiliging vaak minder goed op orde hebben."

AIVD: meer dreiging cyberaanvallen door Rusland en China, vaker spoedmaatregelen genomen
De minister moest afgelopen jaar veel vaker spoedtoestemming geven om cyberaanvallen, te weren schrijft de AIVD in zijn jaarverslag.

FrankenSplit: Efficient Neural Feature Compression with Shallow Variational Bottleneck Injection for Mobile Edge Computing
The rise of mobile AI accelerators allows latency-sensitive applications to execute lightweight Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) on the client side. However, critical applications require powerful models that edge devices cannot host and must therefore offload requests, where the high-dimensional data will compete for limited bandwidth. This work proposes shifting away from focusing on executing shallow layers of partitioned DNNs. Instead, it advocates concentrating the local resources on variationa…

Cop gets busted driving his police SUV 80mph in a 45mph zone, with no lights or siren. He initially ignored a sheriff's deputy trying to pull him over; after he finally stopped, he refused to hand over his license and then he fled the traffic stop.
Surprise! Cop is now back on the job, because the law is for little people.

Orlando police officer back on the job after fleeing traffic stop in Seminole County
An Orlando police officer who drove off after being pulled over by a Seminole County deputy for speeding is back on the job, according to a spokesperson for the Orlando Police Department.

Between Green Hills and Green Bills: Unveiling the Green Shades of Sustainability and Burden Shifting through Multi-Objective Optimization in Swiss Energy System Planning
The Paris agreement is the first-ever universally accepted and legally binding agreement on global climate change. It is a bridge between today's and climate-neutrality policies and strategies before the end of the century. Critical to this endeavor is energy system modeling, which, while adept at devising cost-effective carbon-neutral strategies, often overlooks the broader environmental and social implications. This study introduces an innovative methodology that integrates life-cycle impact …

'Constitutionally ineligible': Legal expert says Trump 'spitting on our sacred documents'
A prominent legal expert recently accused former President Donald Trump's lawyers of making circular and self-contradictory arguments all in the service of shielding Trump from accountability.During a Friday night segment on MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes, former US principal deputy solicitor gener...

Noether invariance theory for the equilibrium force structure of soft matter
We give details and derivations for the Noether invariance theory that characterizes the spatial equilibrium structure of inhomogeneous classical many-body systems, as recently proposed and investigated for bulk systems [F. Sammüller $\textit{et al.}$, Phys. Rev. Lett. $\textbf{130}$, 268203 (2023)]. Thereby an intrinsic thermal symmetry against a local shifting transformation on phase space is exploited on the basis of the Noether theorem for invariant variations. We consider the consequences…

The Rise of Faint, Red AGN at $z>4$: A Sample of Little Red Dots in the JWST Extragalactic Legacy Fields
We present a sample of 341 "little red dots" (LRDs) spanning the redshift range $z\sim2-11$ using data from the CEERS, PRIMER, JADES, UNCOVER and NGDEEP surveys. These sources are likely heavily-reddened AGN that trace a previously-hidden phase of dust-obscured black hole growth in the early Universe. Unlike past use of color indices to identify LRDs, we employ continuum slope fitting using shifting bandpasses to sample the same rest-frame emission blueward and redward of the Balmer break. This…

The Shifting Impact of Recurrent Flooding on Transportation Accessibility: A Case Study of Affected Populations in The Hampton Roads Region
Accelerated sea level rise has resulted in recurrent flooding in coastal regions, increasingly impacting both transportation systems and local populations. Using the Hampton Roads region in Virginia as a case study, this study a. identifies hotspots with frequent, significant accessibility reduction for work and nonwork travel utilizing crowdsourced WAZE flood report data during the month of August over 5 years: 2018 to 2022; and b. examines the shifts in social vulnerability in populations res…
