Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Kreml verärgert wegen Trumps Kleinkinder-Vergleich ++
Der Kreml hat verärgert auf einen Vergleich von US-Präsident Trump reagiert, der den Ukraine-Krieg mit einem Streit zwischen Kleinkindern verglichen hat. Nach russischen Angriffen in Kiew melden Behörden Tote und Verletzte. Der Liveblog vom Freitag zum Nachlesen.

Israel arms ISIS-jihadists to fight against Hamas just like they armed Hamas to fight against the PFLP.
You may ask yourself “when will they ever learn?” but that's assuming the Israeli government's goal is to live in peace. Why should they need to learn, when arming terrorist groups that destabilize and escalate this conflict isn't a mistake?
Considering how much genocide, ethnic cleansing, settler colonialism and hence the expansion of their borders they have been a…

A Newton Augmented Lagrangian Method for Symmetric Cone Programming with Complexity Analysis
Symmetric cone programming incorporates a broad class of convex optimization problems, including linear programming, second-order cone programming, and semidefinite programming. Although the augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) is well-suited for large-scale scenarios, its subproblems are often not second-order continuously differentiable, preventing direct use of classical Newton methods. To address this issue, we observe that barrier functions from interior-point methods (IPMs) naturally serve a…

Teaming in the AI Era: AI-Augmented Frameworks for Forming, Simulating, and Optimizing Human Teams
Effective teamwork is essential across diverse domains. During the team formation stage, a key challenge is forming teams that effectively balance user preferences with task objectives to enhance overall team satisfaction. In the team performing stage, maintaining cohesion and engagement is critical for sustaining high team performance. However, existing computational tools and algorithms for team optimization often rely on static data inputs, narrow algorithmic objectives, or solutions tailore…

If you put a potato in a hypervisor... Does that make it a vTuber?

"But Wall Street professionals, like so many other ostensibly smart people, refused to see Trump clearly, mistaking his skill as a demagogue for wisdom as a policymaker. “I don’t think this was foreseeable,” a mournful Ackman posted on X on Monday. “I assumed economic rationality would be paramount.” What an odd assumption to make about a man who bankrupted casinos.
Berezin thinks Wall Street still hasn’t come to terms with the cost of the nascent Trump presidency. “I do think that at this point we might have passed the event horizon, meaning that even if Trump backs off from the tariffs, there’s been enough damage done to the U.S. economy, to the global economy, to investor confidence, consumer confidence, that we’re probably going to see a recession regardless of what happens,” he said.""

Anybody else think "toblerone" sounds like the name of a ketone?

Making good progress on the switch logic board layout. Still lots to do to get netlist-complete, plus a lot of cleanup once the initial routing is done, but it's getting there.
Added a fan cutout, slightly off center of the FPGA but that's fine (I also want to get hot air off the SFP28s and line cards south of this board).
