Why should the D-party agree to anything, and I mean *anything* that FFOTUS wants?

Senate heads home with no deal to advance President Trump’s nominees
The Senate is leaving Washington Saturday night for its monthlong August recess without a deal to advance dozens of President Donald Trump’s nominees. The chamber is calling it quits after days of contentious bipartisan negotiations and Trump posting on social media that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer can “GO TO HELL!” Without a deal in hand, Republicans say they may try to change Senate rules when they return in September to speed up the pace of confirmations. Trump has been pres…

Temperature and Magnetic-Field Dependence of Energy Relaxation in a Fluxonium Qubit
Noise from material defects at device interfaces is known to limit the coherence of superconducting circuits, yet our understanding of the defect origins and noise mechanisms remains incomplete. Here we investigate the temperature and in-plane magnetic-field dependence of energy relaxation in a low-frequency fluxonium qubit, where the sensitivity to flux noise and charge noise arising from dielectric loss can be tuned by applied flux. We observe an approximately linear scaling of flux noise wit…

Benchmarking and Studying the LLM-based Code Review
Automated Code Review (ACR) is crucial for software quality, yet existing benchmarks often fail to reflect real-world complexities, hindering the evaluation of modern Large Language Models (LLMs). Current benchmarks frequently focus on fine-grained code units, lack complete project context, and use inadequate evaluation metrics. To address these limitations, we introduce SWRBench , a new benchmark comprising 1000 manually verified Pull Requests (PRs) from GitHub, offering PR-centric review with…

Characteristic quasi-polynomials of deletions of Shi arrangements of type C and type D
Characteristic quasi-polynomials enumerate the number of points in the complement of hyperplane arrangements modulo positive integers. In this paper, we compute the characteristic quasi-polynomials of the restrictions of the Shi arrangements of type C and type D by one given hyperplane, respectively. The case of type C is established by extending the method developed in our previous work on type B (\cite{HN2024}), while the case of type D is deduced through a direct connection with the results …

Beyond Words: Interjection Classification for Improved Human-Computer Interaction
In the realm of human-computer interaction, fostering a natural dialogue between humans and machines is paramount. A key, often overlooked, component of this dialogue is the use of interjections such as "mmm" and "hmm". Despite their frequent use to express agreement, hesitation, or requests for information, these interjections are typically dismissed as "non-words" by Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) engines. Addressing this gap, we introduce a novel task dedicated to interjection classifica…

CabinSep: IR-Augmented Mask-Based MVDR for Real-Time In-Car Speech Separation with Distributed Heterogeneous Arrays
Separating overlapping speech from multiple speakers is crucial for effective human-vehicle interaction. This paper proposes CabinSep, a lightweight neural mask-based minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) speech separation approach, to reduce speech recognition errors in back-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) models. Our contributions are threefold: First, we utilize channel information to extract spatial features, which improves the estimation of speech and noise masks. Second, …

Es gibt den Hashtag #ZeigtHerEureFächer !? Da muss ich natürlich zwei meiner inzwischen 20 Fächer zeigen. In jedem Raum befinden sich ein paar, taktisch verteilt, und ich gehe seit Jahren nirgendwo mehr ohne einen hin. Selbst bei milden Temperaturen ist mir oft vor allem in Innenräumen schnell zu warm.
Das sind zwei besonders hübsche Exemplare, das zweite Bild ist einer de…

Optical design and polarimetric performance of a SmallSat UV polarimeter to study interstellar dust: PUFFINS
The Polarimetry in the Ultraviolet to Find Features in INterStellar dust (PUFFINS) is a SmallSat mission concept designed to obtain ultraviolet (UV) spectropolarimetric observations to probe the interstellar dust grain properties and to understand wavelength-dependent extinction and star formation. PUFFINS plans to observe 70 UV bright target stars at varying distances within a 180-320 nm wavelength range with 0.02% polarimetric accuracy. PUFFINS uses a simple telescope design with all reflecti…
