Poland's foreign minister visits western Ukraine amid mass Russian attack on Kyiv, other cities: https://benborges.xyz/2025/10/10/polands-foreign-minister-visits-western.html

This piece from Danish public broadcaster DR is fairly enlightening: no coincidence the # Poland #drone attacks happened on the day of SOTEU Vestager suggests Putin is trying to use up our mental bandwidth. A common response will be most effective.

Random Walk Learning and the Pac-Man Attack
Random walk (RW)-based algorithms have long been popular in distributed systems due to low overheads and scalability, with recent growing applications in decentralized learning. However, their reliance on local interactions makes them inherently vulnerable to malicious behavior. In this work, we investigate an adversarial threat that we term the ``Pac-Man'' attack, in which a malicious node probabilistically terminates any RW that visits it. This stealthy behavior gradually eliminates active RW…
