Trump says US strikes hit Iran in 'honour' of American soldiers killed
Iran responded with attacks in Syria and Jordan, as two ships reportedly exploded in the Strait of Hormuz.

University of Montreal resesrch into shared stress between couples found that "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and nonbinary couples" (SGD) supported each other better through stress than cishet couples - they "recover more efficiently from acute stress and display more engaged and coordinated support behaviors".
One hypothesis explaining this was, essentially, shared oppression and the need to build strong chosen families.

Abstract: We develop a theory of ultrametric graphons as limiting objects for random networks with nested hierarchical community structure. A graphon $W:[0,1]^2\to[0,1]$ is called ultrametric if $W(x,y)=w(d(x,y))$, where $d$ is an ultrametric on $[0,1]$ induced by a family of nested partitions and $w$ is a positive kernel. The resulting random graphs exhibit a nested hierarchical community structure in which the density of connections is governed by the ultrametric distance between vertices. The Laplacian $L_d^k$ of the deterministic graph sampled from an ultrametric graphon is itself an ultrametric Laplacian, whose eigenvalues and spectral projectors admit completely explicit closed-form expressions in terms of the community sizes and inter-community connection densities. We show that the normalized eigenvalues and spectral projectors of the random Laplacian $L_r^k$ are arbitrarily close to those of $L_d^k$ with high probability as $k\to\infty$, so that the explicit formulas for $L_d^k$ provide closed-form approximations for the spectrum and spectral projectors of $L_r^k$. As applications: a sign structure theorem generalizes the Fiedler vector criterion to hierarchical networks with arbitrarily many communities; a detectability threshold $p^*=\min_i\rho_i$ governs spectral community detection for one-level hierarchical graphons; the pseudo-inverse Laplacian $L_W^ $ is constructed and shown to be the almost sure limit of the pseudo-inverse of $L_r^k$, implying that hitting and commute times collapse to quantities depending only on the expected degrees of the endpoints; and explicit closed-form stability conditions for the SIS disease-free equilibrium reveal a fundamental tension between homogeneous and heterogeneous community structures, confirmed by numerical experiments.

Abstract: We study polynomial holomorphic $1$-forms in $\mathbb{C}^2$ that are homologically trivial along the fibers of meromorphic pencils of the form $
\phi = \frac{f^p}{g^q}, $
where $f,g$ are holomorphic functions (possibly polynomials) in general position and $(p,q)=1$. We first establish a homological characterization of relative exactness: if a polynomial $1$-form $\Omega$ has vanishing periods along every closed path contained in the fibers $\phi_c$, then $\Omega$ decomposes as $\Omega = a\omega_0 dh,$ where $\omega_0 = p gdf - q f dg,$ for suitable polynomials $a$ and $h$. In the homogeneous case, degree constraints force $a$ to be constant. We then apply this integration principle to foliations leaving invariant plane curve singularities of cusp type \[ f^p g^q = 0. \] Under a natural genericity (Morse type) condition, we prove a globalization theorem showing that homological triviality along the associated pencil implies that $\Omega$ is a polynomial cusp basic form, \[ \Omega = d(f^p g^q) \lambda (p gdf - q fdg), \qquad \lambda \in \mathbb{C}. \] In particular, such foliations admit Liouvillian first integrals of hypergeometric type.
Our results provide a bridge between relative cohomology, the geometry of rational pencils, and the analytic structure of cusp foliations, yielding explicit normal forms and first integrals under homological hypotheses.

Abstract: Generating 3D indoor scenes from natural language holds tremendous potential, yet existing methods predominantly fail to generate multi-room structures with vertical connectivity and arbitrary polygonal boundaries. Furthermore, they lack a deep grounding in continuous 3D physical laws, leading to severe geometric penetrations and floating artifacts. In this work, we propose Text2Villa, a novel hierarchical generative framework. At the macro level, we construct a multi-story dataset to fine-tune an autoregressive layout generator, ensuring the direct parsing of text into 3D building foundations featuring polygonal boundaries and multi-story connectivity. To enforce physical laws during micro-level asset arrangement, we introduce the Affordance-driven Physical-Semantic Scene Graph (A-PSSG) to explicitly abstract physical affordances (such as support surfaces and containment cavities) into node attributes, establishing strict geometric and semantic edge constraints. Guided by the A-PSSG, we formulate scene instantiation as a constrained closed-loop optimization problem following the analysis-by-synthesis paradigm. By integrating an underlying geometric collision detection engine with the high-level semantic reasoning of multimodal large language models (MLLMs), our heuristic solver dynamically executes physics-aware actions under the observation-evaluation-modification mechanism to effectively resolve mesh collisions, floating artifacts, and fine-grained cavity containment failures. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Text2Villa outperforms previous methods across various metrics, robustly generating high-fidelity and physically plausible villa-level 3D environments from text, thereby providing a reliable and interactive 3D content foundation for downstream applications.

Internet Age-Gates Are a Growing Global Threat
The internet is an essential resource for young people and adults to access information, explore community, and find themselves—both inside countries and across continents. Yet governments around the world continue to introduce and implement legislation requiring all online users to verify their ages before accessing the digital space.

Idleness is Relative: Exploiting Tool-Call Idle Windows for Offloading in Agentic Systems with MORI

Abstract: Modern LLM serving systems increasingly host agentic workloads, whose sessions issue tens of model invocations interleaved with tool calls, accumulating KV cache that can be reused across steps. As requests' total KV cache size easily exceeds GPU HBM capacity, researchers offload them to CPU DRAM. However, tool-call durations span orders of magnitude, and the cost of transferring KV cache between tiers makes it impractical to re-place entries on every call. We observe that agentic programs exhibit a two-phase structure: busy phases of rapid short tool calls and idle phases dominated by long-running calls. Current eviction policies such as LRU fail to capture this property. A binary busy/idle label also falls short because the ratio of busy to idle programs may not match the hardware's GPU-to-CPU capacity ratio. When it does not, one tier sits underutilized while the other is oversubscribed, wasting memory or forcing unnecessary evictions. We present MORI, an agent serving system that solves the above problem. Our key insight is that idleness is a continuous, relative spectrum. MORI ranks all active programs by idleness, assigns the busiest to GPU HBM and the most idle to CPU DRAM, dynamically shifts the partition boundary to match hardware capacity, and enforces admission control at each memory tier. Evaluated on real coding agent workloads collected from Claude Code across four GPU and model pairs, MORI delivers 20--71% higher throughput and 18--43% lower TTFT than the best baseline with offloading.
