When Brooke Nichols plugged in the data, she couldn’t comprehend what she was seeing.
The mathematician and professor of infectious diseases at Boston University had created a model to predict the human cost of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (Doge) USAid funding cuts.
As Elon Musk, the head of Doge, arrived at the White House on Friday afternoon
to be congratulated by President Trump for his work slashing the federal budget,
the number of deaths on Nichols’…

Doge cuts to USAid blamed for 300,000 deaths — most of them children
Elon Musk’s tenure running Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency has, according to the academic Brooke Nichols, caused thousands of ‘preventable deaths’

Geniuses, all of them. https://apnews.com/video/fort-bragg-back-and-forth-has-consequences-for-some-local-businesses-2b35edf86f324436a63840a6137d919f

Fort Bragg back and forth has consequences for some local businesses
Ralph Rodriguez can be forgiven for feeling like a pawn. He chose to name his pawn and gun store after Fort Liberty, and is having to spend thousands to rebrand after the Army changed the installation back to Fort Bragg.

Mehr als 17.000 Menschen müssen in #Manitoba wegen schwerer #Waldbrände evakuiert werden.
Die Provinz hat den #Notstand ausgerufen, da sich Feuer über alle Regionen ausbreiten. Rund die …

Bochum bekommt einen Stadtteppich. Früher nannte man das Straße.
Kosten pro Meter 22.246€.
Muss sein. Wegen Grün und Rad fahren und so. Schreiben sie.
Auf diesen Teppich dürfen Autos.
Muss sein. Wegen Lieferverkehr, Anwohner, Arzt, Dies und das. Ein paar tausend Mal am Tag. Autoarm, heißt es.
Traurig, wirklich traurig, dass nicht einmal 236 Meter in der Innenstadt autofrei umgesetzt werden können.

I see Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a good man doing bad things,
but perhaps he thinks even worse of me: He recently suggested that I was a liar.
While testifying before Congress, Rubio claimed that the Trump administration’s dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development had not cost any lives.
“No children are dying on my watch,” he asserted.
At another point in the hearing, he broadened his statement to include adults as well: “No one has d…

Opinion | Really, Secretary Rubio? I’m Lying About the Kids Dying Under Trump?
Many thousands of children are dying because of cuts in American humanitarian aid, and denials by Elon Musk and Marco Rubio don’t change that reality.

BUT WHAT IF I WAS PLAYING BELGIAN AIR HOCKEY AGAINST A TRANS FURRY AND THEY ATE MY FACE?
what then? HUH?
Cos that has happened literally thousands of times *just today.*
TODAY. In Nether Heage. Yes, it did.
Let that sink in, Marxist deviants, while you're straightening our bananananas.

REDDIX-NET: A Novel Dataset and Benchmark for Moderating Online Explicit Services
The rise of online platforms has enabled covert illicit activities, including online prostitution, to pose challenges for detection and regulation. In this study, we introduce REDDIX-NET, a novel benchmark dataset specifically designed for moderating online sexual services and going beyond traditional NSFW filters. The dataset is derived from thousands of web-scraped NSFW posts on Reddit and categorizes users into six behavioral classes reflecting different service offerings and user intentions…

A False Discovery Rate Control Method Using a Fully Connected Hidden Markov Random Field for Neuroimaging Data
False discovery rate (FDR) control methods are essential for voxel-wise multiple testing in neuroimaging data analysis, where hundreds of thousands or even millions of tests are conducted to detect brain regions associated with disease-related changes. Classical FDR control methods (e.g., BH, q-value, and LocalFDR) assume independence among tests and often lead to high false non-discovery rates (FNR). Although various spatial FDR control methods have been developed to improve power, they still …
