The US and Ukraine have drafted a new 19-point peace deal,
but left the most politically sensitive elements to be decided by the countries' presidents,
according to Ukrainian first deputy foreign minister Sergiy Kyslytsya.
Washington had previously put Kyiv under pressure to agree a 28-point proposal that had been developed by US and Russian officials and crossed several long-standing Ukrainian red lines.
Kyslytsya, who was in the room as par…

Saw a Reddit thread where someone asked what would happen if a personal wealth cap of $100M was introduced.
The comments were entirely full of people gleefully calling the poster dumb and going to great lengths to argue how nothing can ever be changed about wealthy people being wealthy actually, because their wealth makes the economy run and that messing with the stock market will break the world.
So many excuses all over for complacency with an economic system that is very much the result of specific policy decisions and doesn’t even do the things it’s supposed to.
Why do people keep hiding behind the economy as if it’s a weird deity?

Why is the billionaire minority making all the decisions anyway? I mean, they are clearly and vastly outnumbered 🤔
For two decades, the media defaulted to portraying
Chief Justice John Roberts as a moderate institutionalist,
pointing to high-profile decisions
—to uphold parts of the Affordable Care Act or striking down President Donald Trump’s attempt to ask about citizenship in the 2020 census
—in which he broke from conservative orthodoxy.
But those decisions were always the exception.
Today, as the Roberts court rewrites the Constitution in the image of Trumpian aut…

Estimating Spatially Resolved Radiation Fields Using Neural Networks
Felix Lehner, Pasquale Lombardo, Susana Castillo, Oliver Hupe, Marcus Magnor
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.17654 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.17654 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.17654
arXiv:2512.17654v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present an in-depth analysis on how to build and train neural networks to estimate the spatial distribution of scattered radiation fields for radiation protection dosimetry in medical radiation fields, such as those found in Interventional Radiology and Cardiology. Therefore, we present three different synthetically generated datasets with increasing complexity for training, using a Monte-Carlo Simulation application based on Geant4. On those datasets, we evaluate convolutional and fully connected architectures of neural networks to demonstrate which design decisions work well for reconstructing the fluence and spectra distributions over the spatial domain of such radiation fields. All used datasets as well as our training pipeline are published as open source in separate repositories.

I have... I had the bad habit of going to bed late every day, but a year ago I adopted an abandoned kitten who now has very strict schedules: at midnight, it's time to sleep.

One of the nice things about Shortwave's Gmail frontend is that it isn't full of consistency bugs. Gmail is forever showing me out of date info. Also sometimes 5 minutes after I do something in Gmail it will complain when I close the window that some info hasn't been saved. WTF? They made some non-transactional architectural decisions in Gmail long ago that are still causing problems.

One evening in early 1976, a bushy-haired Jeffrey Epstein

Epstein was a math and physics teacher at the city’s prestigious Dalton School,

Epstein initially demurred, saying he didn’t go out much, but eventually relented.
It would turn out to be one of the most fateful decisions he ever made.
