CBEX crypto scam: AI-hyped Ponzi scheme defrauds African investors
Embarrassed and in debt, Edwin was left reeling after losing $16,000 to CryptoBridge Exchange (CBEX), one of the crypto-trading platforms preying on investors in Africa.

Our partners at the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory have found cyanobacteria microcystin toxins in the western basin of Lake Erie April 28, far earlier this year than ever before. The season starts earlier and lasts longer due to #ClimateChange.

How to take action against cbs canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert because potus wanted them to?
Do not support cbs, paramount's channels (cbs, nickelodeon, mtv, showtime, bet, comedy central, etc.) platforms and projects: cancel any subscriptions to their services (and tell them why), don't watch and do not praise their work online, do not buy tickets to their movies. So too skydance.

A Pilot Study on LLM-Based Agentic Translation from Android to iOS: Pitfalls and Insights
The rapid advancement of mobile applications has led to a significant demand for cross-platform compatibility, particularly between the Android and iOS platforms. Traditional approaches to mobile application translation often rely on manual intervention or rule-based systems, which are labor-intensive and time-consuming. While recent advancements in machine learning have introduced automated methods, they often lack contextual understanding and adaptability, resulting in suboptimal translations…

On the deterministic interior body of random polytopes
Let $\{X_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of independent copies of a random vector $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We revisit the question to determine the asymptotic shape of the random polytope $K_N={\rm conv}\{X_1,\ldots ,X_N\}$ where $N>n$. We show that for any $β\in (0,1)$ there exists a constant $c(β)>0$ such that the following holds true: If $μ$ is a Borel probability measure on ${\mathbb R}^n$ then, for all $N\geq c(β)n$ we have that $K_N\supseteq T_{β\ln(\frac{N}{n})}(μ)$ with probabilit…
