More than a dozen Border Patrol agents turned up in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday
at a rally and news conference that
Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding on congressional redistricting.
The governor’s event had nothing to do with immigration,
and local elected officials expressed outrage
that the federal agents decided to stand there in a brazen show of force outside a museum
where Mr. Newsom and other leaders were speaking.
As the governor was preparin…

Border Patrol Agents Show Up in Force at Newsom Rally
The armed and masked agents assembled outside a museum where the governor was speaking in what Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles called “a provocative act.”

A Simpler Proof of Kakutani's Conjecture on Random Subdivision and Its Generalizations
We shift the perspective on the interval fragmentation problem from division points to division spacings. This leads to a proof that is both simpler and stronger, establishing limiting distributions for partition points and spacings and, more importantly, including large-deviation error bounds. Moreover, the approach is general. We derive the limiting spacing distribution for arbitrary division points, and claim it is independent of splitting scheme. It is shown that, under certain conditions, …

Seems to me Coke should put pages of a certain file and list on their bottles, just print them on there. It would really get the information to the people.
Could be so refreshing.

DDS-NAS: Dynamic Data Selection within Neural Architecture Search via On-line Hard Example Mining applied to Image Classification
In order to address the scalability challenge within Neural Architecture Search (NAS), we speed up NAS training via dynamic hard example mining within a curriculum learning framework. By utilizing an autoencoder that enforces an image similarity embedding in latent space, we construct an efficient kd-tree structure to order images by furthest neighbour dissimilarity in a low-dimensional embedding. From a given query image from our subsample dataset, we can identify the most dissimilar image wit…

Bhatt Conjectures: On Necessary-But-Not-Sufficient Benchmark Tautology for Human Like Reasoning
Debates about whether Large Language or Reasoning Models (LLMs/LRMs) truly reason or merely pattern-match suffer from shifting goal posts. In my personal opinion, two analytic--hence "tautological"--benchmarks cut through that fog in my mental model. In this paper, I attempt to write down my mental model in concrete terms.

We are counting on Europe to take over here and elsewhere." ⚛️
