The Roberts Court is overtly devoted, as a matter of judicial and political philosophy, to supporting the policy agenda of Donald Trump. These are DISCRETIONARY rulings - the Court is ruling, repeatedly and usually without explanation, that EQUITY requires that Trump’s agenda advance.

one thing which is patently obvious about the Supreme Court right now is that it is using the shadow docket to avoid making precedents that a future Democrat might be able to use, while nonetheless giving Donald Trump everything he wants -- at least in part because if the did not, he'd do it anyway.

How Hard Can It Be to Formalize a Proof? Lessons from Formalizing CryptoBox Three Times in EasyCrypt (François Dupressoir, Andreas Hülsing, Cameron Low, Matthias Meijers, Charlotte Mylog, Sabine Oechsner) ia.cr/2025/1569

Abstract. Provable security is a cornerstone of modern cryptography, aiming to provide formal and precise security guarantees. However, for various reasons, security proofs are not always properly verified, possibly leading to unwarranted security claims and, in the worst case, deployment of insecure constructions. To further enhance trust and assurance, machine-checked cryptography makes these proofs more formal and rigorous. Unfortunately, the complexity of writing machine-verifiable proofs remains prohibitively high in many interesting use-cases. In this paper, we investigate the sources of this complexity, specifically examining how the style of security definitions influences the difficulty of constructing machine-verifiable proofs in the context of game-playing security. Concretely, we present a new security proof for the generic construction of a PKAE scheme from a NIKE and AE scheme, written in a code-based, game-playing style à la Bellare and Rogaway, and compare it to the same proof written in the style of state-separating proofs, a methodology for developing modular game-playing security proofs. Additionally, we explore a third “blended” style designed to avoid anticipated difficulties with the formalization. Our findings suggest that the choice of definition style impacts proof complexity—including, we argue, in detailed pen-and-paper proofs—with trade-offs depending on the proof writer’s goals.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs — and their owners — becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in a nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.
