Notably this time they didn’t hit US forces in Iraq. It would be hard to forgive another batch of soldiers with TBIs. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gvda6fem6r7selm4gzjjww4a/post/3lsc5eeme3k2z

Iran is VERY clearly signaling a desire to deescalate. Whether or not the Trump administration will take the offramp being offered remains to be seen.

Cognitive Castes: Artificial Intelligence, Epistemic Stratification, and the Dissolution of Democratic Discourse
Artificial intelligence functions not as an epistemic leveller, but as an accelerant of cognitive stratification, entrenching and formalising informational castes within liberal-democratic societies. Synthesising formal epistemology, political theory, algorithmic architecture, and economic incentive structures, the argument traces how contemporary AI systems selectively amplify the reasoning capacity of individuals equipped with recursive abstraction, symbolic logic, and adversarial interrogati…

Okay I'm going to make one of these aluminum shims to try out this desoldering technique. Seems pretty rad!

Computational design of personalized drugs via robust optimization under uncertainty
Effective disease treatment often requires precise control of the release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). In this work, we present a computational inverse design approach to determine the optimal drug composition that yields a target release profile. We assume that the drug release is governed by the Noyes-Whitney model, meaning that dissolution occurs at the surface of the drug. Our inverse design method is based on topology optimization. The method optimizes the drug compositio…

Lizzy Schubert, die neuste Nachrückerin von den MdBs von Die Linke, hat der vorherig jüngsten MdB (Luke Hoß, auch von Die Linke) diesen Platz gestohlen.
Witzig mit wem man damals alles vor wenigen Monaten noch auf Kuba war und wer davon dann heute im Bundestag sitzt.
Bravo 👏 https://…

Ich finde gut, dass die Veranstalter jetzt schon sagen, dass sie die Tradition des Feuerwerks in Frage stellen.

Verletzte bei Feuerwerk auf Düsseldorfer Rheinkirmes
Bei dem Feuerwerk auf der Düsseldorfer Rheinkirmes hat es am Abend mehrere Verletzte gegeben. Das bestätigte die Feuerwehr dem WDR. Mehrere Augenzeugen berichteten, dass Feuerwerkskörper zu tief am Boden explodiert seien.

I just descaled my Keurig, and I feel like I’ve accomplished something today.
