As thousands of people from all over the United States came to the Laguna Madre area this past weekend to watch SpaceX’s latest launch in South Texas,
many who live in the nearest towns

likely as part of a new federal directive from earlier this month to increa…

ICE Never Stopped Chasing People in Cars in the Rio Grande Valley
Immigration agents sped after a vehicle through a residential neighborhood on the same day of the agency’s traffic stop pause, reportedly endangering a mother and son—before pulling a gun on and briefly handcuffing a U.S. citizen.

Hexara (PC) Hey so if you're old enough to have any kind of fond memories of the game Hexic on the 360, this is basically an exact clone of it available on Steam. It's got the same exact gameplay without straight up stealing the assets. Also the dev responded to my (and another) review mentioning repetitive music by patching in more tracks of chillout tunes, bonus. Was an easy 1st day buy, and cheap. Even has a leaderboard (I'm currently in 2nd place woo)

AI has changed what clients expect. The AI aesthetic has become a default visual reference point that many researchers now push towards. But we often create images for scientific journals. When clients ask us to chase the AI look, we explain that it is likely to work against them as it doesn’t match what journals want: clarity over spectacle. Sometimes they listen.

Surface Waves Alter Air Entrainment During Water Entry

https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20067 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.20067 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.20067

Abstract: When a sphere crosses an air-water interface it can entrain a significant volume of air, a process relevant to numerous naval, industrial, and environmental settings. While air entrainment through sphere impact onto quiescent baths has been extensively studied, real-world interfaces are inherently unsteady, and the influence of surface waves is less understood. In this Letter, we systematically investigate the effect of interfacial geometry on the air entrained by impacting hydrophobic spheres onto an axisymmetric wavefield. By analyzing the resulting cavity across a wide parameter space, including wave phase, driving amplitude, and frequency, we reveal that local interface deformation dramatically alters air entrainment. This effect is driven by a geometric modulation of the splash curtain, which shifts the transition between cavity closure modes. We demonstrate that the influence of the waves is fully described by the local wave slope at the radius of the sphere, which alongside the Weber number We and Bond number Bo, establishes a foundational parametric framework for predicting air entrainment and cavity metrics across highly dynamic, real-world surfaces like the open ocean.

Bank accounts held by President Donald Trump were closed by Capital One in 2021

Trump accounts at Capital One were closed in 2021 over money laundering concerns
Capital One closed President Donald Trump’s accounts in mid-2021 after flagging financial activity that resembled money laundering. The bank disclosed this in a court filing over the weekend. Trump has sued Capital One, alleging the closures were politically motivated following the Jan. 6 Capitol attacks. Capital One seeks to dismiss the lawsuit, stating the closures followed months of analysis by its anti-money laundering team. Trump has also sued JPMorgan Chase, claiming similar political m…

Abstract: We propose a low-complexity Chase decoder for optical interconnects that formulates test pattern selection as a generalized maximum coverage problem. For concatenated RS-BCH and oFEC codes, our decoder achieves the standard Chase decoding performance with 25% and 61.3% fewer test patterns, respectively.
