Sources: Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman have sought to get closer to President Trump after Elon Musk fallout, but WH officials remain deeply skeptical of them (Financial Times)

Turns out that the Dutch Justice and Security Minister - of the double-failed right-far-right coalition - ignored urgent advice by Antiterrorism Coordinator to call out the extreme-right nature of last weekend's violence around the anti-immigrant demonstration.
Called it aggression against police and vandalism instead.

Minister negeerde NCTV-advies om Haagse rellen expliciet ‘rechts-extremistisch’ te noemen
Rechts-extremisme: De Nationaal Coördinator Terrorismebestrijding adviseerde de demissionair minister van Justitie om de rellen in Den Haag te bestempelen als ‘rechts-extremistisch’. De minister sloeg dit advies in de wind. Door vaag te blijven zou hij volgens de terrorismebestrijder „normalisering” van het gedachtegoed in de hand werken.

‘Als de TikTok-deal met China doorgaat, krijgt Trump er mogelijk een propagandakanaal in de VS bij’
Mathijs de Weerdt | hoogleraar algoritmes: De VS en China zijn het zo goed als eens over een opsplitsing van TikTok. Daardoor krijgt president Donald Tump er mogelijk een hem gunstig gezind mediakanaal bij, waarschuwt algoritme-expert De Weerdt. „De app kan pro-Trump-filmpjes voorrang geven.”

My beautiful 6/yo son just came up to me and showed me this INCREDIBLE drawing of our hometown he created with the marker pack his dad bought him for school 🥹 What should I do as his mother to support his God-given gift?

Not one, not a single one, of the invoices for our summer school was just paid by the uni's finance admin. All without exception led to further inquiries and additional rounds back-and-forth before being cleared. Including the one asking for reimbursement for a jigsaw puzzle (priced 10 Euro 💰) which we did as a group activity (but needed checking whether it may have been a gift, and for whom?! #academicChatter #bigSigh #whatIsMyTimeWorth

Tinker: Diffusion's Gift to 3D--Multi-View Consistent Editing From Sparse Inputs without Per-Scene Optimization
We introduce Tinker, a versatile framework for high-fidelity 3D editing that operates in both one-shot and few-shot regimes without any per-scene finetuning. Unlike prior techniques that demand extensive per-scene optimization to ensure multi-view consistency or to produce dozens of consistent edited input views, Tinker delivers robust, multi-view consistent edits from as few as one or two images. This capability stems from repurposing pretrained diffusion models, which unlocks their latent 3D …

Gochujang, a staple of Korean cooking, is a fermented red chile paste made from spicy Korean chile peppers and glutinous rice. Here, it’s combined with coconut milk, which mellows the spicy gochujang into a creamy sauce. Fresh ginger is the key ingredient, infusing the sauce with brightness and spice that balance the rich coconut. This recipe calls for broccoli as the vegetable accompaniment, but cauliflower or brussels sprouts would also work. The sauce can be made in larger batches and used…

Understanding Digital Gifting Through Messengers Across Cultures: A Comparative Study of University Students in South Korea, China, and Japan
Digital gift-giving has become a key means of maintaining social relationships, but most existing research has focused on gifting within global e-commerce or social media platforms. The emergence of messenger-based gifting in East Asia, where Korea, Japan, and China each have distinct and deeply rooted gifting traditions, remains underexplored. This study examines how in-app gifting services on the most widely used messaging platforms in South Korea (KakaoTalk), Japan (LINE), and China (WeChat)…
