The US supreme court agreed on Friday to decide the legality of Donald Trump’s executive order to heavily restrict the right to birthright citizenship,
the long-held constitutional principle that individuals born on US soil are automatically United States citizens.
The order was a contentious part of the administration’s bigoted immigration crackdown
– and a step that would transform the interpretation of a 19th-century constitutional provision.
Multiple judges across…

The Physics of Data and Tasks: Theories of Locality and Compositionality in Deep Learning
Deep neural networks have achieved remarkable success, yet our understanding of how they learn remains limited. These models can learn high-dimensional tasks, which is generally statistically intractable due to the curse of dimensionality. This apparent paradox suggests that learnable data must have an underlying latent structure. What is the nature of this structure? How do neural networks encode and exploit it, and how does it quantitatively impact performance - for instance, how does general…

QML-FAST - A Fast Code for low-$\ell$ Tomographic Maximum Likelihood Power Spectrum Estimation
We present a novel implementation for the quadratic maximum likelihood (QML) power spectrum estimator for multiple correlated scalar fields on the sphere. Our estimator supports arbitrary binning in redshift and multipoles $\ell$ and includes cross-correlations of redshift bins. It implements a fully optimal analysis with a pixel-wise covariance model. We implement a number of optimizations which make the estimator and associated covariance matrix computationally tractable for a low-$\ell$ anal…

Studying the gravitational-wave population without looking that FAR out
From catalogs of gravitational-wave transients, the population-level properties of their sources and the formation channels of merging compact binaries can be constrained. However, astrophysical conclusions can be biased by misspecification or misestimation of the population likelihood. Despite detection thresholds on the false-alarm rate (FAR) or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the current catalog is likely contaminated by noise transients. Further, computing the population likelihood becomes les…

A Note on "Quasi-Maximum-Likelihood Estimation in Conditionally Heteroscedastic Time Series: A Stochastic Recurrence Equations Approach"
Bougerol (1993) and Straumann and Mikosch (2006) gave conditions under which there exists a unique stationary and ergodic solution to the stochastic difference equation $Y_t \overset{a.s.}{=} Φ_t (Y_{t-1}), t \in \mathbb{Z}$ where $(Φ_t)_{t \in \mathbb{Z}}$ is a sequence of stationary and ergodic random Lipschitz continuous functions from $(Y,|| \cdot ||)$ to $(Y,|| \cdot ||)$ where $(Y,|| \cdot ||)$ is a complete subspace of a real …

Muhammed i Sollefteå nobbar regeringens förslag om återvandring
Från 10 000 till 350 000 kronor. Förslaget om höjt återvandringsbidrag spelar ingen roll för Muhammed som helst av allt vill stanna i Sollefteå. – Det handlar inte om pengar, säger han.

Pete Hegseth on Saturday doubled down on his defense of US military strikes on alleged drug cartel boats in the Caribbean,
arguing that Donald Trump has the power to take military action
“as he sees fit”
and dismissing concerns that the strikes violate international law
Despite Hegseth’s rant, the Trump administration is facing growing questions over the legality of its anti drug-trafficking operations in the Caribbean,
even from some Republicans.
