Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket
The airline touted a partnership with an AI-enabled revenue system as a step on the road to fully personalized ticket pricing, part of its goal to raise profit margins long-term.

Upcoming beatemup 'John Fox' where you play as an anthropomorphic fox either solo or co-op is coming to PC and consoles next year in February. Pretty psyched to try this one. Very much my kind of thing.

Trump and the Pentagon are considering creating a full-time
“Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force”
that could be called on to
quash civil unrest and protest at a moment’s notice,
according to internal documents reviewed by The Washington Post.
The force would be made up of about 600 National Guards troops,
half of which would be based on military bases in Alabama and Arizona,
ready at all times to fly into any given city or state to lay do…

Velocity Distribution and Diffusion of an Athermal Inertial Run-and-Tumble Particle in a Shear-Thickening Medium
We study the dynamics of an athermal inertial run-and-tumble particle moving in a shear-thickening medium in $d=1$. The viscosity of the medium is represented by a nonlinear function $f(v)\sim\tan(v)$, while a symmetric dichotomous noise of strength $Σ$ and flipping rate $λ$ models the activity of the particle. Starting from the Fokker-Planck~(FP) equation for the time-dependent probability distribution $W_{\pmΣ}(v, t)$ of the particle's velocity $v$ at time $t$ and the active force is $\pm�…

Validating Solidity Code Defects using Symbolic and Concrete Execution powered by Large Language Models
The high rate of false alarms from static analysis tools and Large Language Models (LLMs) complicates vulnerability detection in Solidity Smart Contracts, demanding methods that can formally or empirically prove the presence of defects. This paper introduces a novel detection pipeline that integrates custom Slither-based detectors, LLMs, Kontrol, and Forge. Our approach is designed to reliably detect defects and generate proofs. We currently perform experiments with promising results for seven…

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to
restore a portion of the 800 federal science research grants
that it suspended at UCLA last month,
delivering a major setback to efforts to force the university into a $1 billion settlement. 
California district court judge Rita F. Lin ruled Tuesday
that the suspensions violated her June  preliminary injunction
in which she ordered the National Science Foundation
to restore 114 grants it had terminat…

Federal judge orders Trump administration to restore hundreds of UCLA research grants
The grants were terminated over alleged DEI violations. University of California attorneys argued the actions were arbitrary and capricious.
