Trump prepares fresh tariffs on dozens of countries, FT reports
Donald Trump is poised to unleash fresh tariffs on dozens of countries
as soon as this week, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday,
with his temporary 10% global tariff scheduled to expire on Friday.
The FT said the most immediate new duties are expected to be on a par with the 10% tariffs currently in place,
but the administration was also working on other investigations that could gran…

Evaluation-Recording Contamination in Learned Nano-Quadrotor Dynamics: A Fresh-Seed Audit
David Shulman

Abstract: Learned flight-dynamics models are often trained on short windows extracted from longer recordings. Randomly splitting these windows can place dependent samples from the same physical flight in both training and evaluation sets. We audit this issue using a fixed snapshot of the NanoBench Crazyflie 2.1 dataset. The experiment holds evaluation flights, rollout starts, training-window count, validation data, and optimization budget fixed. In the contaminated protocol, [LeakagePercent] percent of a recording-disjoint training set is replaced with windows from evaluation recordings, while both arms use the same clean validation set. We compare a world-coordinate delta multilayer perceptron with a relative-coordinate control across [NumSeeds] fresh training seeds and [NumEvalFlights] complete evaluation recordings. The primary endpoint is failure-aware position RMSE over 1-second rollouts, analyzed with paired crossed recording-by-seed inference. Contamination lowers apparent world-model error by 12.1 percent, from 0.299 m to 0.262 m, but the predeclared 95 percent confidence interval for contaminated minus disjoint error is -0.0735 to 0.0011 m. Because the interval crosses zero, the confirmatory result is negative. Secondary horizons and the relative-coordinate model show similar trends, but no coordinate-representation interaction is supported. Reliable leakage assessment therefore requires recording-level splits, failure-aware rollouts, replication across fresh seeds, and inference over both recordings and optimization seeds.

Infrastructure that civilians rely on for survival is not generally considered a legitimate military target,

Ugh, the poor quality of air in my seaside Highland town. Sitting reading in a room with the window open just a crack "for fresh air" - when I noticed an unpleasant metal twinge in the air, so had to close the window and blast the air purifier until the smell was gone.
Happens far too often, and the locals have zero awareness about the effects of air pollution on health.
While testing around with SteamOS off the Live Installer (on a decade old standard size SD card and similarly "ancient" USB adapter) was fun and all, and quite snappy despite the media used..

and $1 more expensive than a year ago.
In California and Hawaii, averages hit about $5.50 a gallon.

90% lower than the volume it originally reported a week ago.
