Ukraine's president has urged the European Union to back a plan to release billions of euros in frozen Russian cash to help fund the country's defence. As EU leaders met in Brussels, Volodymyr Zelensky said he hoped they would make a positive decision about using €140bn (£122bn) in Russian assets currently held in a Belgian clearing house. The controversial move would would be on top of sanctions the block has imposed on Russia - the latest on Thursday targeting the Kremlin's oil revenues. They followed US measures against Russia's oil industry earlier - the first time President Donald Trump has sanctioned Moscow as he grows frustrated over President Vladimir Putin's refusal to end the war. On Wednesday evening, the US president confirmed that a planned meeting with Putin in Budapest had been shelved indefinitely.

Found Energy, a startup in Boston, aims to harness the energy in scraps of aluminum metal to power industrial processes without fossil fuels. Since 2022, the company has worked to develop ways to rapidly release energy from aluminum on a small scale. Now it's just switched on a much larger version of its aluminum-powered engine, which it claims is the largest aluminum-water reactor ever built. Early next year, it will be installed to supply heat and hydrogen to a tool manufacturing facility in the southeastern US, using the aluminum waste produced by the plant itself as fuel. If everything works as planned, this technology, which uses a catalyst to unlock the energy stored within aluminum metal, could transform a growing share of aluminum scrap into a zero-carbon fuel. Rondo Energy just turned on what it says is the world's largest thermal battery, an energy storage system that can take in electricity and provide a consistent source of heat.

How much of Europe's oil still comes from Russia? A Russian drone has killed two Ukrainian journalists and wounded another in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, according to their outlet and the regional governor of the Donetsk region. Freedom Media, a state-funded news organisation, said on Thursday that Olena Gramova, 43, and Yevgen Karmazin, 33, had been killed by a Russian Lancet drone while in their car at a petrol station in the industrial city. Another reporter, Alexander Kolychev, was hospitalised after the attack. Freedom Media said that Gramova, a native of Yenakiieve in the Donetsk region, had originally trained as a "finance specialist", but turned to journalism in 2014, the year when Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, and started arming a separatist movement in Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbas.

The futuristic glasses use artificial intelligence ( AI) to feed drivers turn-by-turn directions leading up to customers' doorsteps. They're also fitted with cameras so drivers can scan packages and capture proof of delivery. Amazon claims the dystopian device will make deliveries'as safe and seamless as possible'. However, it seems not everyone agrees.

Sudan's Khartoum targeted by RSF drones for third day after airport reopens The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have targeted Sudan's capital Khartoum and its main airport with drones, a day after the first passenger flight in two years landed in the city amid the civil war. The government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) intercepted the drones on Thursday, which caused no damage, a military official who spoke on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press news agency. The RSF and SAF did not immediately acknowledge the attack. The airport has come under repeated drone attacks blamed on the RSF since Tuesday. Al Jazeera's Hiba Morgan said "both sides seem to be stepping up the use of drones, with the RSF using them here in the capital, Khartoum, to target facilities such as the airport".

Blackouts hit Russia's Belgorod as Ukrainian drone attacks surge Residents of Russia's Belgorod region say blackouts, air-raid sirens and the sound of gunfire aimed at incoming Ukrainian drones are becoming increasingly common, as Kyiv retaliates against repeated bombardments of its cities with cross-border strikes of its own. It's so loud and so terrifying, says Nina, a Belgorod resident who asked us to change her name. I was coming back from the clinic when a siren went off. As usual, I received Telegram alerts about a drone attack. Then bursts of automatic gunfire broke out, I ran into a nearby courtyard and tried to hide under an arch, she recalls.

In this work, we establish non-asymptotic Berry-Esseen bounds for linear functionals of online least-squares SGD, thereby providing a Gaussian Central Limit Theorem (CL T) in a growing-dimensional regime. To render the theory practically applicable, we further develop an online variance estimator for the asymptotic variance appearing in the CL T and establish high-probability deviation bounds for this estimator. Stochastic gradient descent [56] is a popular optimization algorithm widely used in data science. It is a stochastic iterative method for minimizing the expected loss function by updating model parameters based on the (stochastic) gradient of the loss with respect to the parameters obtained from a random sample. SGD is widely used for training linear and logistic regression models, support vector machines, deep neural networks, and other such machine learning models on large-scale datasets. Because of its simplicity and effectiveness, SGD has become a staple of modern data science and machine learning, and has been continuously improved and extended to handle more complex scenarios. Despite its wide-spread applicability for prediction and point estimation, quantifying the uncertainty associated with SGD is not well-understood. Indeed, uncertainty quantification is a key component of decision making systems, ensuring the credibility and validity of data-driven findings; see, for e.g., [17], for a concrete medical application where it is not enough to just optimize SGD to obtain prediction performance but is more important to quantify the associated uncertainty.
