Content warning: H-1B US visa question

There is a #Trump proclamation (few months old) that imposes an additional fine ($100k) for applying to a new H1-B visa (the type that is used a lot by researchers).
Does anyone know for sure (with a source please) if this applies to those who are already in the US (for any reason, e.g. you were on a different visa or you are in the grace period of a visa)?
The original pro…

A New Look for Convolutional Deep Networks | Next-generation neural computations
By construction, deep convolutional networks treat all pixels equally. Result: they are energy-hungry, fragile to rotations or zooms, and poor at object localization. This contrasts sharply with biological vision, which demonstrates remarkable efficiency. Think of an eagle spotting prey from kilometers away or a human recognizing a face within an eye blink time. We propose that by using a mechanism concentrating processing at the center of gaze, biological vision is optimally suited for object …

Peut-être que je ne suis pas assez la vie politique française, mais il n'avait pas promis de ne pas utiliser le 49.3, ce premier ministre??
"Le Monde – EN DIRECT, budget 2026 : Sébastien Lecornu confirme son recours au 49.3 pour l’adoption du PLF, avec « regrets et un peu d’amertume »"

EN DIRECT, budget 2026 : Sébastien Lecornu confirme son recours au 49.3 pour l’adoption du PLF, avec « regrets et un peu d’amertume »
A la sortie du conseil des ministres, Sébastien Lecornu a dénoncé des tentatives « très claires de sabotage » de la part de LFI et du RN. Il a par ailleurs réaffirmé à plusieurs reprises son objectif de ramener le déficit à 5 % du produit intérieur brut. LFI et le RN vont déposer des motions de censure.

"Rest and be thankful" spot in #Scotland,
Before and after the snow (2 days ago vs today)

Photo of a hilly landscape with a road curving downwards surrounded by mossy and rocky green- yellow land, green coniferous trees on the right and several mountains on each side, also green - brown but with snowy tops. This is all below a bright blue sky with only one small cloud on the right.
Photo of the same landscape from almost the same point of view, but it looks like it's in black and white because it is entirely covered in snow, only the trees that were on the right remain dark, the sky is now fully cloudy, hiding most of the snowy peaks in the distance

Quite tempted to swap my beloved cat avatar for this one.. How can #HighlandCows look so stylish?
#Scotland

Photo of a Highland cow in a muddy pen, she is quite short but bulky, looking at me through her long hair, with round ears and pointy horns. On the right side, a few more cows are eating in their feeder. A hilly landscape is in the background with bushes and pine trees.

Slightly technical coding question, #Matlab to #Python:
What's the simplest way to read a Matlab table in Python?
Or, if that's not possible, what should I convert my Matlab table to so I can read it in python? 🙏
It's quite a big table with "nested" data i.e. some of th…
