there's definitely weapons of mass destruction in this middle eastern country this time and it isn't just a justification for war that later turns out to be fabricated like the other dozen times

Ukraine meldet Angriff auf Fabrik für Waffenelektronik bei Moskau
Das ukrainische Militär hat nach eigenen Angaben in der Nacht eine Fabrik in der Region Moskau angegriffen, die Elektronik für High-Tech-Waffen und Militärausrüstung herstellt. Es habe in der Produktionsanlage Explosionen gegeben, erklärte das Militär auf dem Kurznachrichtendienst Telegram. Eine Stellungnahme Russlands lag zunächst nicht vor.

The Stress-Force-Fabric relation across shear bands
The strength of granular materials is highly dependent on grain connectivity (fabric), force transmission, and frictional mobilization at the particle scale. Furthermore, these bulk properties are strongly dependent on the geometry and history of loading. It is well established that anisotropy in fabric and force transmission through a granular packing directly relates to the bulk scale strength of the packing via the Stress-Force-Fabric (SFF) relation. We have recently verified the validity of…

Photonic Rails in ML Datacenters
Rail-optimized network fabrics have become the de facto datacenter scale-out fabric for large-scale ML training. However, the use of high-radix electrical switches to provide all-to-all connectivity in rails imposes massive power, cost, and complexity overheads. We propose a rethinking of the rail abstraction by retaining its communication semantics, but realizing it using optical circuit switches. The key challenge is that optical switches support only one-to-one connectivity at a time, limiti…

High-Precision Acoustic Event Monitoring in Single-Mode Fibers Using Fisher Information
Polarization optical fiber sensors are based on modifications of fiber birefringence by an external measurand (e.g. strain, pressure, acoustic waves). Yet, this means that different input states of polarization will result in very distinct behaviors, which may or may not be optimal in terms of sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. To tackle this challenge, this manuscript presents an optimization technique for the input polarization state using the Fisher information formalism, which allows fo…

MLLM-Fabric: Multimodal Large Language Model-Driven Robotic Framework for Fabric Sorting and Selection
Choosing the right fabric is crucial to meet functional and quality requirements in robotic applications for textile manufacturing, apparel production, and smart retail. We present MLLM-Fabric, a robotic framework powered by multimodal large language models (MLLMs) for fabric sorting and selection. The system includes a robotic arm, a camera, a visuotactile sensor, and a pressure sensor. It employs supervised fine-tuning and multimodal explanation-guided knowledge distillation to accurately cla…

Russische Fabrik von Drohnen getroffen
In der russischen Region Tschuwaschien ist laut Behördenangaben nach einem ukrainischen Drohnenangriff eine bedeutende Fabrik für elektronische Komponenten zwischenzeitlich geschlossen worden. Zwei Drohnen seien auf das Gelände der mehr als 600 Kilometer östlich von Moskau gelegenen VNIIR-Fabrik gestürzt, erklärte Regionalgouverneur Oleg Nikolajew im Onlinedienst Telegram.
