Army Vet Charged with “Conspiracy” for ICE Protest as Trump Expands War on Dissent
A 35-year-old former U.S. Army sergeant, Bajun “Baji” Mavalwalla II, faces up to six years in prison for protesting against ICE deportations in what legal experts are calling a test case for the Trump administration’s attempts to criminalize and punish dissent. Mavalwalla was arrested and charged with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers” after he was identified in a video taken at the protest and shared on Instagram.

Russische Einnahmen aus Öl- und Gasgeschäft eingebrochen
Russlands Einnahmen aus dem Öl- und Gasgeschäft sind nach offiziellen Angaben im Juni auf den niedrigsten Stand seit zweieinhalb Jahren gefallen. Sie brachen im Vergleich zum Vorjahresmonat um 33,7 Prozent auf 494,8 Milliarden Rubel (5,3 Milliarden Euro) ein, wie aus den am Donnerstag veröffentlichten Daten des Finanzministeriums in Moskau hervorgeht.

ServeTheHome backs off from deploying Arm-based storage servers in favour of AMD.
TL;DR: Hardware isn't available enough, not enough options and Proxmox wasn't easily available. It's still just for the hyperscalers.

Deciphering the Physical Origin of GRB 240825A: A Long GRB Lacking a Bright Supernova
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of GRB 240825A, a bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by Fermi and Swift, with a prompt duration ($T_{\rm 90}$ ~ 4 sec in 50-300 keV) near the boundary separating short and long GRBs, prompting a detailed investigation into its classification and progenitor. Using classical prompt metrics (duration, minimum variability timescale (MVT), lag, and spectral hardness) and modern classification techniques (machine-learning (ML) based t-SNE, suppor…

Interpretational errors with instrumental variables
Instrumental variables (IV) are often used to identify causal effects in observational settings and experiments subject to non-compliance. Under canonical assumptions, IVs allow us to identify a so-called local average treatment effect (LATE). The use of IVs is often accompanied by a pragmatic decision to abandon the identification of the causal parameter that corresponds to the original research question and target the LATE instead. This pragmatic decision presents a potential source of error:…

Structure Transfer: an Inference-Based Calculus for the Transformation of Representations
Representation choice is of fundamental importance to our ability to communicate and reason effectively. A major unsolved problem, addressed in this paper, is how to devise \textit{representational-system (RS) agnostic} techniques that drive representation transformation and choice. We present a novel calculus, called \textit{structure transfer}, that enables representation transformation across diverse RSs. Specifically, given a \textit{source} representation drawn from a source RS, the rules …
