America First Legal (AFL) has sent formal complaints to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education detailing serious violations of federal law by Chicago Public Schools, San Francisco Unified School District, […]

U.S. Ambassador to France,
Charles Kushner,
whose son Jared is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka,
clashed with his French hosts weeks after arriving last July
when he accused them of not doing enough to combat antisemitism.
Nearly a year later, he contends the problem has gotten worse
— so much so that he has suggested the Trump administration grant refugee status to French Jews, even as it otherwise scales back asylum provision.
“It would be an obje…

Firefighters rescued a small dog that had been missing for weeks after finding it swimming into the San Francisco Bay.
The dog had gone missing over the Fourth of July weekend, according to the Menlo Park fire protection district.
But someone called 911 on 16 July to say they had seen a dog enter the bay near the Dumbarton Bridge in East Palo Alto.
The dog “just kept swimming”, according to a Menlo Park fire district Instagram post.

Sensitivity of silicon-to-water dose conversion and Bragg-peak metrics to stopping-power datasets in proton dosimetry

Abstract: Accurate proton dosimetry requires consistent stopping-power data for detector-to-water conversion and Monte Carlo radiation transport. We quantify the sensitivity of water-to-silicon stopping-power ratios, converted dose-to-water distributions, and Bragg-peak metrics to the stopping-power dataset for a 67.5 MeV pristine proton beam in water. PHITS simulations used SRIM-2013, PSTAR/NIST, ATIMA, and TDDFT-Penn stopping powers up to 10 MeV, together with a common SBETHE-based extension at higher energies. The water-to-silicon stopping-power ratio showed relative entrance-to-distal variations of 17.40%$-$22.10%. Conversion of normalized PTW silicon-diode percentage-depth-ionization data yielded relative percentage-depth-dose curves with a common maximum at 36.86 mm, consistent with the experimental Bragg-peak depth of (36.81 $\pm$ 0.15) mm. The converted curves were approximately 3% below the reference throughout the entrance and plateau regions, while deviations of up to 2.1% occurred near the Bragg peak. Direct PHITS calculations predicted Bragg-peak depths of 36.575$-$36.675 mm; only the TDDFT-Penn result lay within the quoted experimental uncertainty. These results show that stopping-power treatment affects the magnitude of the converted dose more strongly than the Bragg-peak position does, and that it should be harmonized or explicitly included in uncertainty budgets for proton-beam calibration, commissioning, quality assurance, and Monte Carlo validation.

Uniform-Loss Automated Market Making for Prediction Markets

Abstract: Automated market makers (AMMs) for prediction markets descend from market scoring rules, where a mechanism operator subsidizes a market to aggregate beliefs about uncertain events. The existing literature has focused on bounding the total worst-case loss to the subsidizer, but has not addressed how that loss is distributed across price states or over time. We use the framework of loss-versus-rebalancing (LVR) to study this distribution and introduce \textit{uniform AMMs}, defined by the property that instantaneous LVR is proportional to pool value and independent of the current token price. In a static setting, we show that for a broad class of \textit{win-martingales} -- processes that converge to 0 or 1 at a fixed resolution time -- there exists a pricing function that achieves uniform LVR under that process, and conversely, that any sufficiently regular pricing function induces a win-martingale under which it is uniform. We then extend the framework to dynamic liquidity management, showing that liquidity levels can be adjusted over time to implement a prescribed target expected cumulative loss schedule. This theory is illustrated with canonical examples of win-martingales and pricing functions. Our results can inform AMM designers and liquidity providers on how the inevitable cost of subsidizing price discovery can be shaped and controlled across both price and time.
