“The only thing they are looking for is a way to kill Ukraine,” says Kyiv’s leader.

Zelenskyy warns of Russian deception as Putin-Trump talks loom
“The only thing they are looking for is a way to kill Ukraine,” says Kyiv’s leader.

Reading about Baldur von Schirach. Sounds familiar.
“In February 1928 he became a university group leader of the National Socialist German Students' League.”
“He worked to broaden the Nazi Party's appeal to the bourgeoisie. Schirach was supported by Hitler in internal elections, who also wanted the Nazi Party to have a broad social base.”
“Schirach was skilled at bureaucratic power struggles. He founded the School Children's Leagues (Schülerbünde) to create competition to the Hitler Youth. He made an ally of Joseph Goebbels.”
“Schirach was named national youth leader of the party in 1931.”
“With Heinrich Hoffmann, Schirach produced several propaganda books of Hoffmann's photographs, including "Hitler As No One Knows Him", "Youth Around Hitler", and "Hitler in His Mountains". Schirach wrote the captions. The books sold hundreds of thousands of copies, earning Schirach and Hoffmann substantial royalties.”
“On 16 June 1932, he was made Reichsführer of the Party's Hitler Youth organization, and resigned from the Student League. Under Schirach, the Hitler Youth stewarded NSDAP events, and 21 members died in 1932. Schirach described these deaths as "blood sacrifice" for propaganda purposes. One example was Herbert Norkus, a fifteen-year-old boy who was stabbed to death by Communists. In a 31 May 1932 speech, Schirach recounted Norkus's death and called for a "National Socialist dictatorship". Schirach gave a memorial speech on the third anniversary of Norkus's death in January 1935.”

Time-delayed opinion dynamics with leader-follower interactions: consensus, stability, and mean-field limits
We study a time-delayed variant of the Hegselmann-Krause opinion formation model featuring a small group of leaders and a large group of non-leaders. In this model, leaders influence all agents but only interact among themselves. At the same time, non-leaders update their opinions via interactions with their peers and the leaders, with time delays accounting for communication and decision-making lags. We prove the exponential convergence to consensus of the particle system, without imposing sma…

Input-gated Bilateral Teleoperation: An Easy-to-implement Force Feedback Teleoperation Method for Low-cost Hardware
Effective data collection in contact-rich manipulation requires force feedback during teleoperation, as accurate perception of contact is crucial for stable control. However, such technology remains uncommon, largely because bilateral teleoperation systems are complex and difficult to implement. To overcome this, we propose a bilateral teleoperation method that relies only on a simple feedback controller and does not require force sensors. The approach is designed for leader-follower setups usi…

Proposer anonymity in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains is a critical concern due to the risk of targeted attacks such as malicious denial-of-service (DoS) and censorship attacks.

Second, we define the Lagrangian and show that it can approximate the leaders gradient in response to the equilibrium reached by followers with only first-order gradient evaluations. These findings suggest a fully first order algorithm that alte…
