Trump set off a firestorm online Friday after injecting partisan politics into a speech at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Trump was there to honor the four astronauts who flew NASA’s Artemis II mission around the moon last spring.
After independent journalist Aaron Rupar noted that the president was
“more than an hour late” to the proceedings,
commentator Joanne Carducci, known for her popular social media presence “JoJoFromJerz,” wrote on X,

internet_top_pop: Internet topology (PoP level) (1969-2012)
Assorted snapshots of internet graph at the Point of Presence (PoP) level (which lies between the IP and AS levels), collected from around the world and at various times. The earliest snapshots are for ARPANET (1969-1972), with a few more from pre-2000. Most are from 2006 onward. Metadata include link type or speed, longitudes, and latitudes of nodes, URL, and date of record.
This network has 110 nodes and 158 edges.

This contradicts the study ‘On the Impact of AGENTS.md Files on the Efficiency of AI Coding Agents’, which comes to the following conclusion: ‘we show that
the presence of a root AGENTS.md file is associated with reduced
token usage and faster task completion on real pull requests.’

Google purchased an 83,356-square-foot campus spanning 147 and 153 Castilian Drive,
(near the intersection of Los Carneros Road and Hollister Avenue), for $32.5 million.
The purchase adds to Google’s existing presence in Goleta, bringing its current footprint to approximately 300,000 square feet, according to Hayes Commercial Group.
Want real executive presence?
It's not about lowering your voice or cutting slides.
It's about remembering that authority lives inside you. Not in a title or rank.
When you stop performing for approval, you find groundedness. You listen fully. You respond in your own time.
That's gravitas.
What would change if you led from sovereignty instead of hierarchy?
Meanwhile, as ICE ramps up their newly “invisibilized” abductions, they’ve been gradually creeping back into Minneapolis. Last spring, they largely moved out of Minneapolis / St. Paul in favor of the exurbs and rural areas of Minnesota. Since then, they’ve been gradually moving back into the suburbs — and in the past week, we’ve seen what might be an uptick in the presence right here in the hearty of the cities.
Deportation flight numbers remain low, but we’re staying watchful and vigilant here.

IOW: In a good many cases, agents higlight the presence of a hole, rather than being a feature. They're a stop-gap filler for the hole, but there's a much cheaper and better filler (that can even be used by AI as tool calls!). I hope we see an abundance of APIs to fill the void.

Stability of Einstein 4-manifolds satisfying a chiral curvature condition
Diego Artacho
https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.15159 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2609.15159 https://arxiv.org/html/2609.15159

Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be a compact oriented Einstein four-manifold with Einstein constant $E$ and let $\widehat{R}^ $ denote the action of the Riemann curvature tensor on self-dual two-forms. We show that if $\widehat{R}^ < 0$, then $g$ is strictly linearly stable for the Einstein-Hilbert functional, thus giving a chiral criterion for stability. Our result is stronger than the one by Fine-Krasnov-Singer, who conclude local rigidity from $\widehat{R}^ < 0$ by proving stability for a different action functional. Our proof proceeds by showing that $(M,g)$ admits a natural spin$^h$ structure carrying a non-zero parallel spin$^h$-spinor. We then apply a lower bound on the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on traceless symmetric two-tensors in the presence of such a spinor.

Foundations of Independent Component Analysis
Patrick Forr\'e
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.13229 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.13229 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13229

Abstract: We present the mathematical foundations of linear independent component analysis (ICA) models based on standard literature in a self-contained note. It is aimed at readers with a background in measure-theoretic probability theory. We first develop the theory of the characteristic functions of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$, including their analyticity and the way in which they determine and characterise the distributions. We then focus on several identifiability results of ICA models with successively strengthened assumptions on the sources: from merely non-constant, to non-Gaussian, to Gaussian-free independent sources. Under the strictest assumptions, we show that the independent sources are identifiable up to translation, permutation, scales and signs, and this even in the presence of additive Gaussian noise. Furthermore, we present the online equivariant gradient descent ICA algorithm for recovering the independent sources from data, in the standard complete noiseless non-Gaussian ICA setting.

California is forecast to be on the western flank of a broad area of high pressure over the interior West this weekend into early next week.
Winds high in the atmosphere flowing clockwise around the high-pressure system will draw humid, subtropical air from the south toward California and push it as far north as eastern Oregon and Washington.
For California, the monsoon is only an occasional presence, but when winds do align, it can trigger thunderstorms statewide.
