Sensor Tower: Temu's US DAUs fell 52% in May compared to March, while Shein's dropped 25%, amid the US' China tariffs and the closure of "de minimis" loophole (Karen Gilchrist/CNBC)

Shein and Temu see U.S. demand plunge on 'de minimis' trade loophole closure
Low-cost e-commerce giants Temu and Shein have slowed significantly in the U.S. amid tariffs and the closure of the de minimis loophole, new data shows.

The text I have conveys the •meaning• of the diagram, and it’s better than nothing:
❝Three different trees showing possible interpretations of 1000 - 100 - 10 - 1. In the first tree, subtraction happens from left to right. In the second tree, it happens from right to left. In the third tree, we first compute 1000 minus 100, then 10 minus 1, then subtract those two results.❞
That’s probably the best I can do in the current format. But if there were a way to make convey more of the spatial sense, I’d do it!

Resilient Pattern Mining
Frequent pattern mining is a flagship problem in data mining. In its most basic form, it asks for the set of substrings of a given string $S$ of length $n$ that occur at least $τ$ times in $S$, for some integer $τ\in[1,n]$. We introduce a resilient version of this classic problem, which we term the $(τ, k)$-Resilient Pattern Mining (RPM) problem. Given a string $S$ of length $n$ and two integers $τ, k\in[1,n]$, RPM asks for the set of substrings of $S$ that occur at least $τ$ times in $S$,…

Predictability of quantum observables: Applications in QKD and top quarks
We quantify and optimize the predictability of local observables in bipartite quantum systems by employing the Bayes risk and the inference variance, two measures rooted in statistical learning theory. Specifically, we minimized these quantities when the prediction is improved by an additional quantum system, providing analytical expressions for arbitrary two-qubit states, and showcasing a connection with Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering criteria. Then, we embed our Bayes risk minimization into…

"But Wall Street professionals, like so many other ostensibly smart people, refused to see Trump clearly, mistaking his skill as a demagogue for wisdom as a policymaker. “I don’t think this was foreseeable,” a mournful Ackman posted on X on Monday. “I assumed economic rationality would be paramount.” What an odd assumption to make about a man who bankrupted casinos.
Berezin thinks Wall Street still hasn’t come to terms with the cost of the nascent Trump presidency. “I do think that at this point we might have passed the event horizon, meaning that even if Trump backs off from the tariffs, there’s been enough damage done to the U.S. economy, to the global economy, to investor confidence, consumer confidence, that we’re probably going to see a recession regardless of what happens,” he said.""

On Minimizers of Minimum Density
Minimizers are sampling schemes with numerous applications in computational biology. Assuming a fixed alphabet of size $σ$, a minimizer is defined by two integers $k,w\ge2$ and a linear order $ρ$ on strings of length $k$ (also called $k$-mers). A string is processed by a sliding window algorithm that chooses, in each window of length $w+k-1$, its minimal $k$-mer with respect to $ρ$. A key characteristic of the minimizer is its density, which is the expected frequency of chosen $k$-mers among…
