"Aber der Dialog muss aus einer Position der Stärke heraus geführt werd…

"Among the favorite pastimes of Republican men, two stand out: first, boasting about what strong, courageous, hypermasculine operators they are; and second, publicly melting down about how pants-pissingly terrified they are of American cities."

FBI Director Kash Patel granted waivers to Deputy Director
Dan Bongino and two other newly hired senior FBI staff members,
exempting them from passing polygraph exams normally required to gain access to America’s most sensitive classified information.
People familiar with the matter say his ascent to his position without passing a standard FBI background check was unprecedented.
Bongino was selected for the role at the FBI although he, like Patel, had no prior exper…

FBI Director Kash Patel Waived Polygraph Security Screening for Dan Bongino, Two Other Senior Staff
As the FBI’s deputy director, Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief. His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

MCP-AgentBench: Evaluating Real-World Language Agent Performance with MCP-Mediated Tools
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly emerging as a pivotal open standard, designed to enhance agent-tool integration and interoperability, and is positioned to unlock a new era of powerful, interconnected, and genuinely utilitarian agentic AI. However, despite MCP's growing adoption, existing benchmarks often fail to capture real-world agent performance within this new paradigm, leading to a distorted perception of their true operational value and an inability to reliably differentiate p…

Ukraine hat russische Positionen auf der Krim angegriffen
Das ukrainische Militär hat nach eigener Darstellung am Wochenende eine Reihe von Angriffen gegen russische Einheiten auf der besetzten Halbinsel Krim geführt.

Stand Up, NAO! Increasing the Reliability of Stand-Up Motions Through Error Compensation in Position Control
Stand-up motions are an indispensable part of humanoid robot soccer. A robot incapable of standing up by itself is removed from the game for some time. In this paper, we present our stand-up motions for the NAO robot. Our approach dates back to 2019 and has been evaluated and slightly expanded over the past six years. We claim that the main reason for failed stand-up attempts are large errors in the executed joint positions. By addressing such problems by either executing special motions to fre…

Euclid preparation. Cosmology Likelihood for Observables in Euclid (CLOE). 5. Extensions beyond the standard modelling of theoretical probes and systematic effects
Euclid is expected to establish new state-of-the-art constraints on extensions beyond the standard LCDM cosmological model by measuring the positions and shapes of billions of galaxies. Specifically, its goal is to shed light on the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Achieving this requires developing and validating advanced statistical tools and theoretical prediction software capable of testing extensions of the LCDM model. In this work, we describe how the Euclid likelihood pipeline, Cos…
