Wenn Politik ein Raketenstart wäre, würde SpaceX als einziger den Countdown korrekt zählen – trotz Trump’s Streit mit Elon Muskk. #Golem.: So sehr der Präsident drückt, bei den Verträgen hat die Regierung keine bessere Flugbahn gefunden. Elon Musk bleibt der Fixstern der US-Raumfahrt.

SpaceX unverzichtbar: US-Regierung kann Aufträge an Musk-Firma nicht kündigen - Golem.de
Nach dem Streit zwischen Musk und Trump hat sich die US-Regierung ihre Verträge mit SpaceX genauer angeschaut. Ersatz ist offenbar schwer zu finden.

State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce has sparked condemnation
after a reporter unearthed an interview in which she said
the U.S. is the best country on Earth
“next to Israel,”
in yet another show of U.S. leaders’ capitulation to Israel
under a president who ran on the slogan “America First.”

Rubio Spokesperson Says US Is “Greatest Country on Earth Next to Israel”
The official said it’s her responsibility to ensure “every person on this planet” recognizes the importance of Israel.

New scientific analysis determines there are four distinct species of giraffe #science

There are actually four giraffe species in Africa, scientists say
Giraffes are now classified into four distinct species in Africa. Researchers previously thought all giraffes belonged to a single species. On Thursday, a task force of the International Union for Conservation of Nature identified Northern, reticulated, Masai, and Southern giraffes as separate species. This change is based on genetic studies and anatomical differences. Each species faces unique threats and conservation needs. Northern giraffes are the most endangered, with only about 7,000 left…

The Effect of Scale Consistency between Real and Virtual Spaces on Immersion in Exhibition Hybrid Spaces
In exhibition hybrid spaces, scale consistency between real and virtual spaces is crucial for user immersion. However, there is currently a lack of systematic research to determine appropriate virtual-to-real mapping ratios. This study developed an immersive interaction system based on Intel 3D Athlete Tracking body mapping technology. Two experiments investigated the impact of virtual space and virtual avatar scale on immersion. Experiment 1 investigated 30 participants' preferences for virtua…

SDC-Net: A Domain Adaptation Framework with Semantic-Dynamic Consistency for Cross-Subject EEG Emotion Recognition
Electroencephalography(EEG) based emotion recognition holds great promise for affective brain-computer interfaces (aBCIs), yet practical deployment remains challenging due to substantial inter-subject variability and the lack of labeled data in target domains. To overcome these limitations, we present a novel unsupervised Semantic-Dynamic Consistency domain adaptation network for fully label-free cross-subject EEG emotion recognition. First, we introduce a Same-Subject Same-Trial Mixup strategy…
