Trump ‘will not give a penny’ if re-elected, Hungary prime minister says
Donald Trump “will not give a penny” to Ukraine if he is re-elected US president, the far-right Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbšn, said after a controversial meeting with Trump in Florida.
“He will not give a penny in the Ukraine-Russia war,” Orbšn told state media in Hungary on Sunday. “Therefore, the war will end, because it is obvious that Ukraine can not stand on its own feet.”
According to Or…

"Donald Trump will totally stop funding Ukraine if he wins the U.S. election in November, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbšn said following a meeting between the right-wing figureheads."

Arithmetic progressions in polynomial orbits
Let $f$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients whose degree is at least 2. We consider the problem of covering the orbit $\operatorname{Orb}_f(t)=\{t,f(t),f(f(t)),\cdots\}$, where $t$ is an integer, using arithmetic progressions each of which contains $t$. Fixing an integer $k\ge 2$, we prove that it is impossible to cover $\operatorname{Orb}_f(t)$ using $k$ such arithmetic progressions unless $\operatorname{Orb}_f(t)$ is contained in one of these progressions. In fact, we show that the rela…

As more of the world is coming to terms with the psychic con that is generative AI, some of the images from Altman’s businesses are just ludicrous, almost like “well we just borrowed all the props from mediums and seances”.

Never forget that Worldcoin is the brainchild of Sam Altman. His minions are travelling to the Global South with a crystal ball, sorry orb, and asking people to look into it, with the promise of more fortune in their futures.

BundledSLAM: An Accurate Visual SLAM System Using Multiple Cameras
Multi-camera SLAM systems offer a plethora of advantages, primarily stemming from their capacity to amalgamate information from a broader field of view, thereby resulting in heightened robustness and improved localization accuracy. In this research, we present a significant extension and refinement of the state-of-the-art stereo SLAM system, known as ORB-SLAM2, with the objective of attaining even higher precision.To accomplish this objective, we commence by mapping measurements from all camera…

On one-orbit cyclic subspace codes of $\mathcal{G}_q(n,3)$
Subspace codes have recently been used for error correction in random network coding. In this work, we focus on one-orbit cyclic subspace codes. If $S$ is an $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspace of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, then the one-orbit cyclic subspace code defined by $S$ is \[ \mathrm{Orb}(S)=\{αS \colon α\in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}^*\}, \]where $αS=\lbrace αs \colon s\in S\rbrace$ for any $α\in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}^*$. Few classification results of subspace codes are known, therefore it is quite natural to init…

Flares, Rotation, Activity Cycles and a Magnetic Star-Planet Interaction Hypothesis for the Far Ultraviolet Emission of GJ 436
Variability in the far ultraviolet (FUV) emission produced by stellar activity affects photochemistry and heating in orbiting planetary atmospheres. We present a comprehensive analysis of the FUV variability of GJ 436, a field-age, M2.5V star ($P_\mathrm{rot}\approx44$ d) orbited by a warm, Neptune-size planet ($M \approx 25\ M_\oplus$, $R \approx 4.1\ R_\oplus$, $P_\mathrm{orb}\approx2.6$ d). Observations at three epochs from 2012 to 2018 span nearly a full activity cycle, sample two rotations…

Orbifold completion of 3-categories
We develop a general theory of 3-dimensional ``orbifold completion'', to describe (generalised) orbifolds of topological quantum field theories as well as all their defects. Given a semistrict 3-category $\mathcal{T}$ with adjoints for all 1- and 2-morphisms (more precisely, a Gray category with duals), we construct the 3-category $\mathcal{T}_{\textrm{orb}}$ as a Morita category of certain $E_1$-algebras in $\mathcal{T}$ which encode triangulation invariance. We prove that in $\mathcal{T}_{\te…

A Novel Method to Constrain Tidal Quality Factor from A Non-synchronized Exoplanetary System
We propose a novel method to constrain the tidal quality factor, $Q'$, from a non-synchronized star-planet system consisting of a slowly rotating low-mass star and a close-in Jovian planet, taking into account the tidal interaction and the magnetic braking. On the basis of dynamical system theory, the track of the co-evolution of angular momentum for such a system exhibits the existence of a forbidden region in the $Ω_\mathrm{orb}$ -- $Ω_\mathrm{spin}$ plane , where $Ω_\mathrm{spin}$ and $Ω…
