HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI.

Prethermal gauge structure and surface growth in $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theories
Universal aspects of thermalization in interacting many-body systems are typically challenging to derive microscopically, yet provide a powerful framework for understanding emergent phenomena. Here, we numerically study the mean-field dynamics of a $(2+1)$D spin system with thousands of spins and show that experimentally-feasible two-body Ising interactions can stabilize a prethermal $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge structure with dynamical matter, manifested by a gauge-invariant plateau with expon…

Training Models to Detect Successive Robot Errors from Human Reactions
As robots become more integrated into society, detecting robot errors is essential for effective human-robot interaction (HRI). When a robot fails repeatedly, how can it know when to change its behavior? Humans naturally respond to robot errors through verbal and nonverbal cues that intensify over successive failures-from confusion and subtle speech changes to visible frustration and impatience. While prior work shows that human reactions can indicate robot failures, few studies examine how the…

The widely used atomic databases contain information on the K alpha but not K beta lines of these ions. We…

The aim of this paper is to develop, via the least squares variational method, the Lagrange-Hamilton geometry (in the sense of nonlinear connections, d-torsions and Lagrangian Yang-Mills electromagnetic-like energy) produced by a Lotka-Volterra dynamical system, a simple model of the population dynamics of species competing for some common resource. From a geometrical point of view, the Jacobi stability of this system is discussed.

Timely delivery of delay-sensitive information over dynamic, heterogeneous networks is increasingly essential for a range of interactive applications, such as industrial automation, self-driving vehicles, and augmented reality. However, most existing network control solutions target only average delay performance, falling short of providing strict End-to-End (E2E) peak latency guarantees.

Venezuelan opposition politician María Corina Machado
has won the Nobel peace prize
for her dogged struggle to rescue the South American country from its fate as
“a brutal, authoritarian state”.
Machado, 58, a conservative often described as Venezuela’s Iron Lady,
has spent the last year living in hiding
after her political movement was widely believed to have beaten the country’s president, Nicolšs Maduro,
in the July 2024 presidential election.

Towards High-Efficiency Particle Detection Using Superconducting Microwire Arrays
We present a detailed study of an 8-channel $1\times1$ mm$^{2}$ WSi superconducting microwire single photon detector (SMSPD) array exposed to 120 GeV hadron beam and 120 GeV muon beam at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron H6 beamline. Following up on our first detailed characterization of the efficiency and response of an SMSPD fabricated on a 3 nm WSi film, we report measurements of enhanced particle detection efficiency using a sensor fabricated from a thicker 4.7nm-thick WSi film. We also rep…

“Tariffs are an import tax, plain and simple. I would assume the administration understands that.
“I actually am surprised that it was so lacking,” Senator Maria Cantwell added, of the administration’s case.
The court did not appear persuaded, either.
“You want to say tariffs are not taxes,” said the liberal justice Sonia Sotomayor. “But that’s exactly what they are.”

67: The none-sensical viral phrase that Gen Alpha can’t stop saying
And now, its seems to be taking over OpenAI as well.
“GPT-6 will be renamed GPT-6-7, you’re welcome,”
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted to X on Friday.
Altman’s announcement comes just a couple of days after Dictionary.com named the slang 2025’s word of the year.
For those lucky enough to not be familiar with the term,
the Gen Alpha slang can be traced back to hip hop artist Skrilla’s late 20…

Did Sam Altman Just Figure out What 6-7 Means?
The OpenAI CEO announced it will rename GPT-6 to GPT-6-7 referencing the viral Gen Alpha slang. We don't know if he is kidding.
