Portugal has made a clear choice for a center-left president instead of a far-right one, probably by around 70-30.

Iberia
1) Convincing victory of united left in second round as António José Seguro elected president of Portugal with 67% of second round vote, a rout for far right Chega.
2) In the Bourbon monarchy next door, right PP wins regional election in Aragon but will depend on far right Vox doubled representation. Centre left PSOE diminishes, left Sumar hangs on to 1 seat while Podemos vanishes.
Broad left unity defeats the right in these PR systems.

Apparently ICE abducted parents and just left their young kids just sitting there alone, unassisted and unattended — in not one but •two• separate incidents in the Twin Cities in the last few days.
In one case, they left school-age kids alone in the house after a pre-dawn raid. In another, they snatched a father driving his kids home and just left the kids there in the car.
In both cases, the kids are OK — but only because strangers came along to help.

Last week, while debugging a SwiftUI performance issue, I was running instruments and found that my profiles were plagued with noise.
Godot while idling was using so much CPU time that it was skipping entire frames while rendering.
I set out to fix those, 0.5% here, 0.5 there, and the Godot Editor (and Xogot) no longer skip frames.
People had been complaining that Godot would burn your battery in an hour if you left it idling, it no longer does.

So, it would seem the Gorton and Denton by-election will be crucial. Starmer will cling on until the result and then a leadership election will happen.
But the by-election will determine everything. If the Greens are elected, Labour will move left with Angela Raynor and, god forbid, if Reform win, then it will lurch right with Wes Streeting.
Seriously, if Wes Streeting got into power, I’d be fucked.

Local Computation Algorithms for (Minimum) Spanning Trees on Expander Graphs
Pan Peng, Yuyang Wang
arxiv.org/abs/2602.07394 arxiv.org/pdf/2602.07394 arxiv.org/html/2602.07394
arXiv:2602.07394v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study \emph{local computation algorithms (LCAs)} for constructing spanning trees. In this setting, the goal is to locally determine, for each edge $ e \in E $, whether it belongs to a spanning tree $ T $ of the input graph $ G $, where $ T $ is defined implicitly by $ G $ and the randomness of the algorithm. It is known that LCAs for spanning trees do not exist in general graphs, even for simple graph families. We identify a natural and well-studied class of graphs -- \emph{expander graphs} -- that do admit \emph{sublinear-time} LCAs for spanning trees. This is perhaps surprising, as previous work on expanders only succeeded in designing LCAs for \emph{sparse spanning subgraphs}, rather than full spanning trees. We design an LCA with probe complexity $ O\left(\sqrt{n}\left(\frac{\log^2 n}{\phi^2} d\right)\right)$ for graphs with conductance at least $ \phi $ and maximum degree at most $ d $ (not necessarily constant), which is nearly optimal when $\phi$ and $d$ are constants, since $\Omega(\sqrt{n})$ probes are necessary even for expanders. Next, we show that for the natural class of \emph{\ER graphs} $ G(n, p) $ with $ np = n^{\delta} $ for any constant $ \delta > 0 $ (which are expanders with high probability), the $ \sqrt{n} $ lower bound can be bypassed. Specifically, we give an \emph{average-case} LCA for such graphs with probe complexity $ \tilde{O}(\sqrt{n^{1 - \delta}})$.
Finally, we extend our techniques to design LCAs for the \emph{minimum spanning tree (MST)} problem on weighted expander graphs. Specifically, given a $d$-regular unweighted graph $\bar{G}$ with sufficiently strong expansion, we consider the weighted graph $G$ obtained by assigning to each edge an independent and uniform random weight from $\{1,\ldots,W\}$, where $W = O(d)$. We show that there exists an LCA that is consistent with an exact MST of $G$, with probe complexity $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{n}d^2)$.

The image is a medium shot of a man with distinctive Vulcan ears and a black, bowl-shaped haircut, portraying the character Spock from Star Trek. He is wearing a light blue uniform shirt with a dark blue collar and a Starfleet insignia on the left chest. His head is turned slightly to his left, and he looks towards the viewer with a subtle, perhaps slightly sarcastic or amused, expression. His eyebrows are raised, and the corner of his mouth is turned up.

North Carolina led for just .4 seconds in Saturday's rivalry game against Duke.
But that's all they needed to secure the win.
Seth Trimble's three-pointer with 0.4 seconds left delivered the Tar Heels a 71-68 win and closed out a 9-0 run in the game.
After Trimble's three-pointer, the fans rushed the court before having to clear it,
leaving a delay and one last heave for the Blue Devils.
But a turnover sealed it and the party can begin on Franklin…

For example, with “AI” hypers will tell you that you’ll be “unemployable” and “get left behind” while doomers say “it will kill us all”.
Imagine them saying this about hammers.
It’s self-evident why they do this: you can’t sustain hype based on objectively looking at a thing that’s just not all that useful—and anything that’s overwhelmingly actually useful doesn’t need hype to be sustained.
