Selenskyj will Putin mit Langstreckenraketen zu Verhandlungen bewegen
Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj fordert von der sogenannten Koalition der Willigen Langstreckenwaffen, um Russland zu Verhandlungen zu drängen. Als der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin gemerkt habe, die Ukraine könnte Tomahawk-Langstreckenraketen erhalten, sei er zu Gesprächen bereit gewesen, sagt Selenskyj in London. Bislang verweigern die …

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Russischer Gesandter zu Gesprächen in den USA ++
Der russische Sondergesandte und Präsidentenberater Dmitrijew hält sich zu Gesprächen in den USA auf. In der Ukraine zündet ein Mann bei einer Personenkontrolle in einem Zug einen Sprengsatz. Vier Menschen sterben.

Wanted to make a list of my favorite EPs from 2025- narrowed it down to a top 10, from over 200 I'd liked and documented this year. The list contains multiple genres & I've written a brief blurb about each. Most of these I've talked about here this year. Might be something here for everyone!
Mood Bored - Too Much? (shoegaze/alt rock from the Netherlands with great female vocals - Breeders, Pixies, that dog, Throwing Muses vibes)

Those are all wonderful films, but The Princess Bride is quite simply the perfect movie. @… https://flipboard.social/@CultureDesk/11572588…

Well not on Bits n Bytes right now, but live on a friend's channel for the moment if folks are bored and want to tune in.
Won't be live too late, but here now and chatting about MrDev's new Proxmox install.

Day 11: Bee Johnson
As promised, back to printed books, and since I hadn't yet done any authors of picture or board books, here's one. It looks like Johnson is primarily an illustrator and has only written a single kids' book, but it's a magnificent one: "What Can A Mess Make?"
Naturally, the illustrations are rich and evocative, but it's also got one of my favorite formats (just a few lines per page, with consistent meter and rhymes throughout) and has the incredibly charming theme of two sisters who are constantly making messes, except it highlights the fun (and other emotions) they get out of their messy play, reminding parents cleaning up messes that there's a benefit to letting your kids make the mess in the first place, which is an idea that's stuck with me as I clean up my own kids' messes. This book checks *all* of my boxes for a good picture book (which is kinda hard).

P.S. at this point, I think I've exhausted the range of "author" definitions I wanted to include in my list, and I've now got the unenviable task of balancing between genres and trying to hit some of my favorite authors before we get to 20. We'll see how that goes...

On vehicle routing problems with stochastic demands -- Part I: Generic integer L-shaped formulations
We study a broad class of vehicle routing problems in which the cost of a route is allowed to be any nonnegative rational value computable in polynomial time in the input size. To address this class, we introduce a unifying framework that generalizes existing integer L-shaped (ILS) formulations developed for vehicle routing problems with stochastic demands (VRPSDs). This framework and subsequent analysis allow us to generalize previous ILS cuts and pinpoint which assumptions are needed to apply…

Random unitaries that conserve energy
Random unitaries sampled from the Haar measure serve as fundamental models for generic quantum many-body dynamics. Under standard cryptographic assumptions, recent works have constructed polynomial-size quantum circuits that are computationally indistinguishable from Haar-random unitaries, establishing the concept of pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs). While PRUs have found broad implications in many-body physics, they fail to capture the energy conservation that governs physical systems. In this wo…

PINNGraPE: Physics Informed Neural Network for Gravitational wave Parameter Estimation
Weakly-modelled searches for gravitational waves are essential for ensuring that all potential sources are accounted for in detection efforts, as they make minimal assumptions regarding source morphology. While these searches primarily target generic transient sources, they are also highly effective at identifying a broad range of compact binary coalescences, demonstrated by the weakly-modelled search algorithm coherent WaveBurst being the first to detect GW150914. Despite their ability to dete…
