European countries may have to start shooting down Russian aircraft and drones that violate NATO airspace if Moscow keeps testing the alliance's resolve,
Czech President Petr Pavel said in an interview with the Sunday Times of London published Dec. 7.
"I believe there will be a moment,
if these violations continue,
where we will have to use stronger measures,
including potentially shooting down a Russian airplane or drones,"
Pavel  told the T…

Czech president says Europe may need to shoot down Russian aircraft, drones violating NATO airspace
Czech President Petr Pavel warned that repeated Russian airspace violations may eventually force Europe to shoot down Russian aircraft and drones, and said European countries must be ready to fight and win a war on their own if the U.S. is tied up elsewhere.

> Or as Mamdani put it in his soaring speech last night: “I am young, despite my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim. I am a democratic socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this.”
Hell yes. We need more of this. So, so, *so* much more of this.

A4FN: an Agentic AI Architecture for Autonomous Flying Networks
This position paper presents A4FN, an Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) architecture for intent-driven automation in Flying Networks (FNs) using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as access nodes. A4FN leverages Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to enable real-time, context-aware network control via a distributed agentic system. It comprises two components: the Perception Agent (PA), which semantically interprets multimodal input -- including imagery, audio, and telemetry data -- f…

Monomial curves and locally linear resolution
For four elements of a Noetherian ring we construct complexes of free modules of length three (resp. five) by an explicit description of the homomorphisms of the free modules. We provide exactness criteria for them. As an application we use these results in order to describe explicit the minimal free resolution of the Hartshorne--Rao module of a monomial curve lying on a smooth quadric. Also it provides an example of linearly generated module with syzygies of arbitrary high degree.

HybridFlow: Quantification of Aleatoric and Epistemic Uncertainty with a Single Hybrid Model
Uncertainty quantification is critical for ensuring robustness in high-stakes machine learning applications. We introduce HybridFlow, a modular hybrid architecture that unifies the modeling of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty by combining a Conditional Masked Autoregressive normalizing flow for estimating aleatoric uncertainty with a flexible probabilistic predictor for epistemic uncertainty. The framework supports integration with any probabilistic model class, allowing users to easily adap…

In-Field Mapping of Grape Yield and Quality with Illumination-Invariant Deep Learning
This paper presents an end-to-end, IoT-enabled robotic system for the non-destructive, real-time, and spatially-resolved mapping of grape yield and quality (Brix, Acidity) in vineyards. The system features a comprehensive analytical pipeline that integrates two key modules: a high-performance model for grape bunch detection and weight estimation, and a novel deep learning framework for quality assessment from hyperspectral (HSI) data. A critical barrier to in-field HSI is the ``domain shift" ca…

The IEEE Signal Processing Society's Leading Role in Developing Standards for Computational Imaging and Sensing: Part II
In every imaging or sensing application, the physical hardware creates constraints that must be overcome or they limit system performance. Techniques that leverage additional degrees of freedom can effectively extend performance beyond the inherent physical capabilities of the hardware. An example includes synchronizing distributed sensors so as to synthesize a larger aperture for remote sensing applications. An additional example is integrating the communication and sensing functions in a wire…

Trump on Sunday threatened military action against Colombia,
telling reporters that such an operation "sounds good to me."
"Colombia is very sick, too, run by a sick man, who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States,
and he's not going to be doing it very long,"
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, in an apparent reference to Colombia's President Gustavo Petro.
