Russian state media reported that during the Trump-Putin call, Putin reiterated his determination to continue pursuing the Kremlin's goals in Ukraine -- despite mounting international calls for a ceasefire.
Zelensky called on Ukraine's allies, particularly the United States,
to apply massive and immediate pressure on Russia.
"We need to ensure that for every such attack on people and lives, they (Russia) feel the corresponding sanctions and other blows to thei…

'Deliberately massive and cynical' — Russian attack on Ukraine began as Trump and Putin spoke, Zelensky says
"Patriots and their missiles are real defenders of life," President Volodymyr Zelensky said. "It is very important to maintain the support of partners in ballistic missile defense."

Faced with the growing risk that #LightPollution represents for the development of astronomy in Chile, international observatories with a presence in the country have formed a joint organization dedicated to protecting the dark skies of northern Chile: https://giantmagellan.org/2025/06/03/dark-skies-council-international-astronomical-observatories-join-forces-to-protect-chiles-skies/ - the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), the Giant Magellan Telescope, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and Carnegie Science’s Las Campanas Observatory (LCO), signed an agreement to create the Dark Skies Council; through this alliance, the institutions will work in a coordinated manner to protect Chile’s privileged skies.

Also with yesterday being “flat tire day“ I was really looking forward to trying to have today be a kind of chill day.
Apparently, I forgot to consult with “today”, because it clearly has other ideas.

Vendor of AI tech comes to Australia and promises to grow our GDP by 4% if only we give tax incentives to increase use of AI tech. Stenographers in the press report the amazing "windfall" but thankfully we have Crikey to call BS:

OpenAI’s ‘productivity’ garbage is an age-old scam that’s long crippled Australia
Touting the economic benefits of AI is straight from business lobbyists' playbook, one used over and over again.

Recurrent neural chemical reaction networks that approximate arbitrary dynamics
Many important phenomena in biochemistry and biology exploit dynamical features such as multi-stability, oscillations, and chaos. Construction of novel chemical systems with such rich dynamics is a challenging problem central to the fields of synthetic biology and molecular nanotechnology. In this paper, we address this problem by putting forward a molecular version of a recurrent artificial neural network, which we call recurrent neural chemical reaction network (RNCRN). The RNCRN uses a modul…

Almost Calabi-Yau with torsion 6-manifolds and the instanton condition
It is observed that on a compact almost complex Calabi-Yau with torsion (ACYT) 6-manifold with co-closed Lee form the curvature of the torsion connection is an $SU(3)$-instanton if and only if the torsion is parallel with respect to the torsion connection. The same conclusion holds for any (non necessarily compact) balanced ACYT 6-manifold. In particular, on a CYT 6-manifold the Strominger-Bismut connection is an $SU(3)$-instanton if and only if the torsion is parallel with respect to the Strom…
