I went to Stewart Park this Sunday after the Ithaca 5 and 10 to make a 3-d scan of the lighthouse on the jetty which didn't work out but I did see these kayakers goings under this bridge.

Incarcerated Welsh rock singer Ian Watkins #Lostprophets killed in another UK prison attack behind bars, in 2023 he'd been stabbed and held hostage by inmates. He was 48 and had spent over a decade in prison thus far after a 2013 drug bust found pedophiliac materials on his electronic devices, and after police investigation, he admitted to a string of sex offences – including the attempted rape of…

An Enactivist Approach to Human-Computer Interaction: Bridging the Gap Between Human Agency and Affordances
Emerging paradigms in XR, AI, and BCI contexts necessitate novel theoretical frameworks for understanding human autonomy and agency in HCI. Drawing from enactivist theories of cognition, we conceptualize human agents as self-organizing, operationally closed systems that actively enact their cognitive domains through dynamic interaction with their environments. To develop measurable variables aligned with this framework, we introduce "feelings of agency" (FoA) as an alternative to the establishe…

I've been using Broadcom/VMware ESXI 8 U3 on a Gen 15 Intel Ultra 9 powered box.
Gack, you would think that a giant company like Broadcom/VMware would keep its software up to date.
But no. One has to jump through special configuration hoops (not documented except by third parties) to even get ESXI loaded.
And then if one wants to use USB-4/Thunderbolt based network interface devices one has to find and install a "FLING" patch.
It seems to me that Broadc…

Let's check in on the "Keep Boards Alive" campaign.

Trumpy, ex-Bengals TE, broadcaster, dies at 80 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46817999/bob-trumpy-ex-bengals-te-broadcaster-dies-80

One thing that's bothered me about the aftermath of the loss at Stamford Bridge is the punditry acting like Cucurella's comment that they targeted the space behind Salah shows some sort of tactical brilliance by Maresca.
Literally EVERY team flings diagonal balls into space on that flank, a known risk and a calculation that Salah's lethality will negate a willingness for the LB to go forward and join the attack.
The real story is that he's not been dangerous and c…
