Ukrainian authorities have arrested a man accused of helping Russia direct a missile strike that killed at least 11 people, including three teenagers, at a pizza restaurant in eastern Ukraine. The attack in Kramatorsk wounded 61 other people and was the latest in a series of bombardments by Russia. The arrest comes amid ongoing political and military turmoil in Russia following a mutiny led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, owner of the Wagner private army, which has played a combat role for Russia in Ukraine. Despite this turmoil, the Kremlin has not eased its aerial onslaught.

A restaurant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk was attacked, leaving a former Colombia peace negotiator with minor injuries and a leading Ukrainian writer in critical condition. The restaurant owner reported significant damage to the property. The Russian defense ministry claimed to have destroyed a "temporary deployment of [Ukrainian] commanders," while Ukraine's air defenses were described as insufficient to cover its territory. Ukraine is seeking modern fighter jets from its allies, and the US has agreed to support them by allowing the supply of American-made F16s and training Ukrainian pilots.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the transfer of Wagner Group fighters to Belarus does not pose a threat to Ukraine. He believes the contingent is not very large and explained that many Wagner Group mercenaries have been killed by Ukraine's defense forces. Zelenskyy expressed confidence that the situation in northern Ukraine is under control and that a new offensive from the north is unlikely. Russian President Vladimir Putin offered the mercenaries the option to join the regular Russian army, resign, or go to Belarus. It was confirmed that Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin arrived in Belarus.

A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that the majority of Americans support providing military assistance to Ukraine to defend against Russian aggression. The poll found that 65% of respondents approved of arming Ukraine, a significant increase from 46% in a May poll. The support for supplying weapons to Ukraine was high among Democrats (81%), Republicans (56%), and independents (57%). The survey also revealed that 76% of Americans believe that aiding Ukraine demonstrates the US's capability to protect its own and allied interests, including against China and other rivals. Additionally, large majorities of Americans are more likely to support presidential candidates who continue military aid to Ukraine and back the NATO alliance. The poll was conducted online and collected responses from 1,004 adults nationwide. The recent announcement of $500 million in military assistance brings the total aid to Ukraine to over $40.5 billion since February 2022.

Pope Francis's envoy, Cardinal Matteo Maria Zuppi, is visiting Moscow to hold talks with President Putin's adviser, Yuri Ushakov. The Kremlin has expressed its appreciation for the Vatican's efforts to find a peaceful solution to the Ukrainian crisis. Zuppi's visit follows his meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky in Kyiv, where he discussed the possibility of aiding in the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war and children in Russian custody. Zuppi's trip marks a rare visit by a high-ranking Catholic cleric to Moscow, as no Pope has ever visited the city. The Vatican aims to promote gestures of humanity and find ways to achieve a just peace in Ukraine. However, relations between the Vatican and Moscow remain strained, despite attempts to bridge the divide between the Catholic and Russian Orthodox churches.

A federal watchdog investigating COVID-19 relief programs estimates that over $200 billion may have been stolen from two initiatives designed to help small businesses. The Paycheck Protection and COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan programs were found to be vulnerable to fraudsters, with at least 17% of funds disbursed to potentially fraudulent actors. The Inspector General's report disputes a senior SBA official's claim that the numbers are flawed and misleading, and the AP's analysis aligns with the government's figure of $276 billion in potential fraud. The Biden administration has implemented stricter rules and proposed a $1.6 billion plan to combat fraud.

Four Mexican nationals have been arrested by U.S. authorities for their involvement in a human smuggling operation last year that resulted in the deaths of 48 migrants, including eight children, who were trapped in a tractor-trailer in Texas. The arrested individuals had a planning role in the smuggling operation and were aware that the trailer's air-conditioning unit was malfunctioning, leading to unbearable conditions during the three-hour journey. The tragedy was one of the deadliest involving migrants smuggled across the Mexico-U.S. border. The four men face charges of conspiracy to transport immigrants resulting in death, serious bodily injury, and placing lives in jeopardy. The smuggling operation had a network of smugglers across Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico, sharing routes, guides, stash houses, trucks, and trailers. Migrants paid up to $15,000 each to be transported across the border, covering up to three attempts. The arrests were made in Houston, San Antonio, and Marshall, Texas.

Thames Water, the largest water and sewage company in the UK, may have to be taken over by the government if it fails to secure additional funding, similar to what happened to Bulb, an energy supplier. The company is struggling to raise the remaining funds needed to service its £14 billion debt, particularly as interest payments on over half of the debt are tied to inflation, which has recently surged. Other water companies are also facing similar challenges due to higher interest payments and rising costs. Shadow energy secretary, Ed Miliband, called the situation a scandal and questioned the need for shareholder payouts instead of investing in the water industry.

China is planning to introduce legislation on preschool education to ensure proper operation and management of these institutions, according to Vice-minister of Education Tian Xuejun. The Ministry of Education is already conducting research on this legislation and also working on establishing qualifications for teachers and a code of ethics. Additionally, steps will be taken to enhance supervision of kindergartens and address the issue of insufficient resources for preschool education. The move comes in response to a child abuse case that highlighted problems in the sector. In other news, the National Health and Family Planning Commission has responded to concerns about increased fees for the new rural cooperative medical system. While fees have been raised, government subsidies and reimbursement proportions have also increased to provide financial assistance to individuals who cannot afford the fees.

This move follows a deal struck between Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Prigozhin's involvement in the brutal African operations is seen as crucial not only to his empire but also to the Kremlin's overall strategy on the continent.

The Kremlin has denied any state involvement in the business activities of the Wagner mercenary group in Africa. The denial follows President Vladimir Putin's revelation that Russia's state budget funded Wagner. However, the Kremlin spokesperson stated that Wagner had its own independent business in Africa without any connection to the state. The founder of Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin's rift with the Kremlin raises questions about the group's operations in several African countries, including the Central African Republic and Libya. Wagner has been involved in various businesses in Africa, including gold mining and precious hardwood processing. Despite internal struggles, experts believe Russia will not let the Wagner system fail as it is essential for their influence in Africa. The United States has imposed sanctions on Wagner-controlled companies operating mines in the Central African Republic, while Russia's military instructors will continue to operate in the country and Mali. Wagner fighters have faced accusations of serious human rights abuses in the areas where they operate.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is working to discredit and marginalize Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin, implying that he is corrupt and lying about the group's independence from the Kremlin. Putin stated that the Kremlin fully funds and supplies the PMC, and accused Prigozhin's catering company of receiving substantial payments from the Russian federal budget. Putin's goal appears to be to separate Prigozhin from the Wagner Group and possibly confiscate his assets through corruption charges. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has secured a degree of safe haven for Prigozhin in Belarus, despite earlier assessments that it was likely a trap. Lukashenko may aim to control the actions of the Wagner Group in Belarus and reduce Belarus' dependence on the Russian military. Additionally, Lukashenko announced that Belarus had received Russian nuclear weapons, which may serve as a means to balance against Russian attempts to absorb Belarus and argue for an independent defense capacity. The ongoing power play between Putin, Lukashenko, and Prigozhin will have both short-term and long-term consequences. Finally, the Russian National Guard will receive heavy weapons and tanks, and the Russian Ministry of Defense is preparing to transfer Wagner Group's military equipment to its forces, which suggests a reorganization and possible dissolution of the group's Ukraine force.

The Biden administration has ended an investigation into whether Louisiana officials exposed Black residents in an industrial area to an increased cancer risk. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) dropped the inquiry, citing feasibility issues and the lack of commitments from Louisiana. The investigation involved Denka, a polymer plant, which has faced allegations of emitting cancer-causing chemicals. Activists criticized the withdrawal, expressing concerns about a potential curtailing of civil rights investigations. The EPA stated that it would continue analyzing the health risks in the community and invited Louisiana to participate. The agency also disposed of a complaint regarding emissions from a proposed chemical plant.

Debris from the lost submersible Titan, which imploded and killed all five people on board during its descent near the Titanic wreck, has been brought back to port in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. The debris recovery is a crucial part of the ongoing investigation into the incident. The Canadian Coast Guard led the search for the submersible using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) provided by Pelagic Research Services. The Coast Guard has initiated a Marine Board of Investigation to determine the cause of the implosion. The recovered debris and any electronic data it contains may provide important clues for the investigation. The investigation involves multiple government agencies from the US and Canada, but no further details are available at this time.

The Biden administration objected to Israel's decision to authorize settlement construction, which has exacerbated tensions. Blinken stated that it is difficult to deepen existing agreements and expand them to include Saudi Arabia if there is ongoing conflict in Israel's backyard. He also emphasized that pursuing normalization agreements is not in Israel's interest due to the added complexities and practical consequences.

This text discusses the concept of a "reduced derivative" as a way to eliminate the presence of 2π in mathematical formulas, which can often cause problems and imprecision. The author proposes using the derivative divided by 2π as a new operator, and introduces the function Θx as a solution to this derivative. The author also explores the implications of this approach for trigonometric functions, differential equations, and various mathematical formulas. The goal is to simplify calculations and reduce errors by treating e2π as a single symbol and avoiding the need for 2π. While this idea may not eliminate 2π entirely, it can make certain calculations and concepts easier to work with. The author acknowledges that this concept has not been extensively discussed in the literature and invites further exploration and discussion.

A new study published in the journal Nature has revealed that the process by which cuttlefish generate their camouflage patterns is more complex than previously thought. Previous research suggested that cuttlefish had a limited selection of pattern components, but the latest study found that their camouflaging response is more flexible and intricate. The researchers used high-resolution video and machine learning techniques to investigate the camouflage patterns and the related process of "blanching" in response to threats. Cuttlefish also possess unique abilities such as delayed gratification, higher intelligence, and a form of episodic memory. Their skin contains layers of chromatophores, iridophores, and leucophores that work together to create their optical properties. The study deepens our understanding of the remarkable camouflage ability of cuttlefish and cephalopods.

The display options include non-touch, touchscreen, and privacy features. Other aspects such as speakers, coating, and webcam with a privacy shutter remain consistent with previous models. Overall, the X1 Carbon remains a top choice for a portable laptop, but may not feel like a significant upgrade from the Gen 9 version.

Massachusetts-based software company, Progress Corp, recently suffered a data breach that exposed sensitive information from numerous companies, including British Airways, Shell, and PwC. The Russian-speaking hacker group Cl0p was behind the attack, and it was expected that they would demand a ransom from the affected organizations. However, experts suggest that the stolen data, which includes personal information of millions of Americans, could be used for identity theft scams. Combining this data with deepfake software, hackers could create realistic digital likenesses of people to bypass security checks and engage in fraudulent activities. The use of deepfakes in scams has already increased significantly, with the potential to unlock not only traditional online scams but also the theft of government benefits. For example, stolen information from the Progress hack could be utilized to create fake video selfies, enabling criminals to fraudulently claim unemployment benefits and apply for federal college loans, food stamps, and other programs. Each stolen identity could yield up to $2 million solely from government benefit programs.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4060 GPU is the most important Ada Lovelace-based GPU for game developers and mainstream PC gaming builds. It offers improved performance and power efficiency compared to its predecessor, the RTX 3060, at a reasonable price range starting at $299. However, some drawbacks include a reduction in memory to 8GB and a modest speed upgrade. The RTX 4060 is designed with a reliable upgrade formula and uses Nvidia's AD107 GPU die. It supports DLSS 3 upscaling, AV1 video codec, and hardware-accelerated encoding. Nvidia's card partners are responsible for producing the RTX 4060, like the PNY version, that offers a no-frills design. While the cooler design may extend past the graphics card, it allows for more compact designs.

Right-wing organization Honenu has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a settler protester who alleged that a police officer forcibly pulled and tore out his beard during a demonstration. The organization is demanding the immediate dismissal of the officer for excessive violence. The protester, who was demonstrating against the temporary closure of the settlement following settler riots against Palestinians, had reportedly not acted violently prior to the incident. Honenu claims that the police used inappropriate levels of force. A video of the incident, which caused pain and humiliation to the religious man, was circulated on social media. The man's protest was against a security response that punished the residents of Ateret without adequately addressing the security threats they faced. Ateret is in close proximity to Arab villages where Jewish Israelis had carried out arson attacks in retaliation for a deadly terrorist shooting. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir criticized the "collective punishment" of Ateret and demanded explanations from the police regarding curfews and violence against protesters. Honenu argues that the orders given by IDF Col. Eliav Elbaz to implement the town closure were unprecedented and faced attacks on his character from the political right.

However, the Federal Security Service discovered the plan ahead of time. Prigozhin's intentions were reportedly announced to someone in the top military leadership of Russia. It remains unclear who leaked this information to the security service. Prigozhin later claimed that his forces took control of military facilities in Rostov-on-Don and were heading towards Moscow, but he eventually stated that his mercenaries were returning to field camps. Russian President Vladimir Putin has referred to an attempt to "organise a rebellion" in the country.

At least 14 Russian soldiers were killed in cross-border raids conducted by two anti-Kremlin militias comprised of Russian nationals in southwestern Russia's Belgorod region on June 1. The Russian Defense Ministry acknowledged repelling the attacks but did not disclose its own casualty figures. The governor of Pskov, Mikhail Vedernikov, confirmed the deaths and stated that 10 soldiers from Pskov were captured in the raids, with three having been exchanged. The raids occurred alongside heavy shelling of the Belgorod region from Ukrainian territory, with the frequency and intensity of the attacks increasing since May. Putin has acknowledged the need for better preparation against such cross-border attacks.

The Financial Times editorial board has called on the US and European nations to threaten a ban on imports of goods produced in West Bank settlements. The board argues that Israeli entities in the West Bank should not be treated as part of Israel. The statement comes after violent attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinian villages, which followed a series of Palestinian terrorist attacks. The editorial board highlights that the violence has intensified amidst Israeli government moves to accelerate settlement construction. The board likened the West Bank settlements to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and urged the international community to condemn Israeli behavior to avoid appearing hypocritical.

The governor of the Bank of Greece discussed the possibility of interest rate hikes in July, stating that if the baseline continues as predicted, there might be a hike. However, the governor believes it is too early to determine if there will be a hike in September. When asked about the Greek economy's need for rate hikes, the governor emphasized that the European Central Bank (ECB) targets the inflation rate for the Eurozone as a whole, rather than individual countries. The governor also mentioned that Greece is less vulnerable to rate hikes compared to other Eurozone countries due to measures taken in response to the previous crisis, such as fixing the Greek debt for the next 20 years. Furthermore, there was no belief that Greece is currently experiencing a wage price spiral issue. In terms of the ECB's objective to achieve a 2 percent inflation rate, the governor stated that the latest forecasts suggest it may be reached by the middle of 2025. Additionally, the governor mentioned that quantitative tightening would be used alongside interest rate hikes to achieve the inflation target but emphasized that interest rates are the main instrument. The governor defended the 2 percent inflation target, explaining that it represents price stability. Finally, the governor expressed optimism that Greece will receive an investment grade rating in the upcoming ratings review by the agency S&P.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated that he does not foresee the United States returning to 2 percent inflation this year or next year. Powell acknowledged the progress made in reducing inflation, but mentioned that the target may be reached after 2025. He also indicated that the restrictive monetary policy would continue until necessary, but if inflation decreases significantly and demonstrates a clear path towards 2 percent, the possibility of loosening policy would be considered. However, Powell emphasized that such considerations are not currently being entertained.

The author of the Twitter thread posted videos comparing the speed of opening apps on an old computer running Windows NT 3.51 and a new computer running Windows 11. The videos showed that apps opened instantly on the old computer while there was significant lag on the new computer. The author questioned why modern computers are slower in basic tasks like opening apps, despite advancements in hardware. The author acknowledged that the initial comparison was unfair but argued that a proper comparison would yield similar results. The author discussed how advancements in graphics, high-resolution monitors, and fast networks have improved certain aspects of computer usage, but UI latency in modern computers, including smartphones, has become worse. The author mentioned that improvements in random I/O with SSDs have made booting and using computers faster, but UI latency remains an issue. The author provided examples of specific apps on Windows and macOS that have become slower in their new versions. The author concluded that the reasons for UI latency come from elsewhere and speculated on possible causes. Linux was noted to be the system that suffers the least from UI latency issues.

A New York appeals court has limited the scope of a civil lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James against former President Donald Trump and his family, accusing them of fraud. The court ruled that transactions before certain dates must be excluded from the suit. Claims against Trump's daughter Ivanka were also dismissed as they were considered too old. The lawsuit seeks damages of $250 million and aims to bar the Trumps from running businesses in New York. Trump denies any wrongdoing and believes the legal actions against him are politically motivated.

The US is reportedly considering tightening restrictions on the export of chips to China, particularly lower power chips. This could potentially impact companies like Nvidia, with an initial estimated impact of around $5 billion on their top line. However, the demand for AI chips is expected to grow significantly, which may help Nvidia make up for any losses in the China market in the long run. China is a significant market for chip companies, and the expansion of these sanctions suggests a potential shutdown of the chip sector's exposure to China in the near term. China is a major consumer of semiconductor products, although it has low exposure to advanced chips. Micron is another US chip company facing the China issue, and they have already announced a revenue hit due to the sanctions. The market expects a challenging quarter for Micron, but it is hoped that this could be a trough for the company.

BlockSuite is a comprehensive project designed for building collaborative applications. It features a block-based framework for content editors and a block editor specifically designed for the AFFiNE knowledge base. The core concept is block-based editing, where text and state management are handled on a block-by-block basis using CRDT technology. This allows for distributed collaboration and framework agnostic rendering for scalability and flexibility.
Traditional rich text editors face compatibility challenges and integration difficulties with modern UI frameworks. BlockSuite introduces block-based editing, where a block tree is managed in the store and each block node can be rendered using any common UI framework. This provides stability and compatibility, allowing for multiple instances of rich text editors to coexist seamlessly.
BlockSuite also includes Virgo, a lightweight rich text editing component, and uses CRDT technology to coordinate state changes among multiple rich text instances. The block tree is built on the Yjs library, which records and tracks historical operations. CRDT serialization benefits incremental distribution of update data and enables reading and writing with compatible Rust implementations outside the browser.
The CRDT-based state management in BlockSuite enhances developer and user experiences and supports local-first applications. The architecture design allows for easy assembly of complex collaborative applications using any UI framework and embedding the collaborative editor into other applications. The block tree provides a subscription-based API for use as a state store with different UI frameworks, and the AFFiNE editor can be embedded as a standardized web component.
BlockSuite offers flexibility in rendering, supporting various UI frameworks, and allowing for the integration of the Phasor rendering library for sharing historical state in specific features like the whiteboard in AFFiNE. In summary, BlockSuite provides seamless integration, compatibility, and flexibility in building collaborative applications.

The "idea maze" for AI startups is a map of the key decisions and trade-offs they need to make. One choice is to either achieve near-100% accuracy or build a product that is useful even with partial accuracy through a "fault tolerant UX." To reach 100% accuracy, more data is needed, as algorithms alone aren't sufficient. Startups can narrow the problem they are solving before collecting data and can further narrow the domain until they find a market fit. Obtaining data can be done through mining publicly available sources or crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing is a viable option, as it involves designing a service that incentivizes users to provide data for improvement. These are just some paths through the AI startup idea maze, which is not exhaustive, and new infrastructure technologies can bring new opportunities.

Developers have discovered that Apple's visionOS, used for the development of Apple's VR headset Vision Pro, does not support room-scale VR. Users are pulled out of the immersive VR experience when they move more than 1.5 meters away from the virtual environment's origin point. Additionally, movement at an unsafe speed prompts a message stating that virtual content has been temporarily hidden until the user returns to a safe speed. While this limitation may disappoint users seeking a high-end VR headset, it is worth noting that room-scale VR is a niche market within the broader VR industry. Furthermore, Apple's safety features do not seem to apply to AR in the same way, as users can interact with objects more than 1.5 meters away in AR. Overall, Vision Pro may not provide a fully immersive experience due to safety features and interruptions from the real world.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda has revealed that the NASAMS systems ordered by Lithuania will be delivered to Ukraine in about three months. The decision to purchase these systems for Ukraine was made without compromising Lithuania's national security. The purchased systems, which cost 9.8 million euros, will arrive in late September or early October. Last year, Ukraine requested Lithuania to send NASAMS systems, but Lithuania declined due to its own defense needs. The Ministry of Defense of Norway will also provide auxiliary equipment for the missile launchers. President Nausėda expects to meet with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at the NATO summit.
