While Trump described his call for the U.S. military to reestablish a position in Afghanistan as “breaking news,” he has previously raised the idea.
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about whether it or the Pentagon has done any planning around returning to the sprawling [Bagram] air base, which was central to America’s longest war.

Just finished Transiruby, along with a 9k-line journal file for it. I almost got 100, but not quite; I don't have time to go back to it before the semester starts though.
If you like exploration games, it's an excellent one, with great level design & tons of secrets. It actually makes you do significant secret-finding and map-reading in order to beat the game, not just for extras or a special ending, which is something that a lot of metroidvania games since Super Metroid don't do. My one complaint is that the map system isn't perfect, and finding obscure secrets to progress is fine when the map hints at them but much less fun when it hints incorrectly (I looked one progress item up in a speedrun video because of this).
Decently cool movement mechanics, although the combat does take a back seat and almost all of the bosses are easy (I beat the final two bosses in the third and second tries respectively). I don't think that's any better or worse than a game like Nine Sols where the final boss took me hundreds of tries though; just a different flavor. The world-building isn't as rich as the more epic metroidvanias like Hollow Knight or Lone Fungus (or again, Nine Sols) but again I'm fine with that. It's just a more casual game that has really excellent level design & exploration poetics.

From Interpolating Formulas to Separating Languages and Back Again
Traditionally, research on Craig interpolation is concerned with (a) establishing the Craig interpolation property (CIP) of a logic saying that every valid implication in the logic has a Craig interpolant and (b) designing algorithms that extract Craig interpolants from proofs. Logics that lack the CIP are regarded as `pathological' and excluded from consideration. In this chapter, we survey variations and generalisations of traditional Craig interpolation. First, we consider Craig interpolants…

To address these challenges, we propose εar-VAE, an open-source music signal reconstruction model that rethinks and optimizes the VAE training paradigm.
