Mali : attaques djihadistes d’envergure dans l’ouest du pays
Le Groupe de soutien à l’islam et aux musulmans a attaqué sept localités, notamment Kayes, la capitale régionale. Cette région frontalière avec le Sénégal est vitale pour l’économie malienne.

Scoop: Anduril's Palmer Luckey to invest in stealthy stablecoin startup
The new funding would value Atticus at between $1.5 billion and $2 billion.

I’m not usually feeling attractive, but every now and then I catch myself looking that way. It’s part of my gender-fluid experience, I guess.
Being autistic adds its own flavor to how I see myself and attraction.
#Autosexual? Sometimes!

Combinatorial solutions to the Social Golfer Problem and Social Golfer Problem with Adjacent Group Sizes
Resolvable combinatorial designs including Resolvable Balanced Incomplete Block Designs, Resolvable Group Divisible Designs, Uniformly Resolvable Designs and Mutually Orthogonal Latin Squares and Rectangles are used to construct optimal solutions to the Social Golfer problem (SGP) and the Social Golfer problem with adjacent group sizes (SGA). An algorithm is presented to find an optimal solution in general, and a complete set of solutions is provided for up to 150 players.

Miscellanea: "Within-trial" prognostic score adjustment is targeted maximum likelihood estimation
Adjustment for ``super'' or ``prognostic'' composite covariates has become more popular in randomized trials recently. These prognostic covariates are often constructed from historical data by fitting a predictive model of the outcome on the raw covariates. A natural question that we have been asked by applied researchers is whether this can be done without the historical data: can the prognostic covariate be constructed or derived from the trial data itself, possibly using different folds of t…

Automated Polarization Basis Adjustment and Security Monitoring in Quantum Communication via Coincidence Entropies
Polarization-sensitive receivers for single photons are of crucial importance in various applications within the fields of quantum communication and quantum sensing, and are more commonly implemented in free-space optics rather than in optical fibers. This is primarily due to the unpredictable and varying birefringence in single-mode optical fibers. We present a method for birefringence compensation in an all-fiber detection setup that relies solely on coincidence measurements of a polarization…

An ontological lens on attack trees: Toward adequacy and interoperability
Attack Trees (AT) are a popular formalism for security analysis. They are meant to display an attacker's goal decomposed into attack steps needed to achieve it and compute certain security metrics (e.g., attack cost, probability, and damage). ATs offer three important services: (a) conceptual modeling capabilities for representing security risk management scenarios, (b) a qualitative assessment to find root causes and minimal conditions of successful attacks, and (c) quantitative analyses via s…
