CISA warns agencies to update F5 appliances after breach disclosure
Sources say China hacked classified UK systems for over a decade. Some think a secret US cybercrime-fighting group is behind the doxxing of a Russian ransomware kingpin. Microsoft is moving Surface manufacturing out of China. Pro-Palestine activists hacked four N. American PA systems, much more

EU-Digitalgesetze: US-Regierung droht Spotify, DHL, SAP, Siemens & EU-Konzernen
Die weitreichenden Digitalgesetze der EU sind den USA schon länger ein Dorn im Auge. Weil Brüssel geforderte Änderungen ablehnt, droht die US-Regierung jetzt.

This sounds like a really cool sci-fi idea: a language model that is special-purpose, cheap and energy efficient and not connected to the internet so it can be built into household appliances. It might be the positive "residue" of an AI bubble crash.
But will those household appliance companies do it? They'd have to let go of their internet connected fridges and data collection. Maybe it'll be the FOSS and 3d-printing community who does it.

From Abelianization to Tangent Categories
A tangent category is a category with an endofunctor, called the tangent bundle functor, which is equipped with various natural transformations that capture essential properties of the classical tangent bundle of smooth manifolds. In this paper, we show that, surprisingly, the category of groups is a tangent category whose tangent bundle functor is induced by abelianization and whose differential bundles correspond to abelian groups. We generalize this construction by introducing the concept of…

Scaling Properties of Avalanche Activity in the Two-Dimensional Abelian Sandpile Model
We study the scaling properties of avalanche activity in the two-dimensional Abelian sandpile model. Instead of the conventional avalanche size distribution, we analyze the site activity distribution, which measures how often a site participates in avalanches when grains are added across the lattice. Using numerical simulations for system sizes up to \(L = 160\), averaged over \(10^4\) configurations, we determine the probability distribution \(P(A, L)\) of site activities. The results show tha…
