Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions!
Google has announced it is building a new way for 'experienced users' to install Android apps that haven't been verified.

And so it continues: US anti-fascism expert leaves country day after being blocked from flying to Spain.
No matter how many peace deals a Western leader states to broker, if you don't respect human rights you don't deserve the #NobelPeacePrice

Been experimenting with Shortwave, a frontend to Gmail with serious AI capabilities. So far it impresses me and is able to do the things that Gmail Gemini was failing me at. Main drawback is it's fairly expensive for a consumer product.

I was looking into the #DANDI archive, following a post of @… that mentioned it as a possibility for #Neuroscience data storage.. It looks like it could be useful i…

When men drink, women and children pay the price
Men’s heavy drinking is fueling a hidden crisis affecting millions of women and children worldwide. The harms, from violence to financial instability, are especially severe where gender inequality is high. Experts warn that alcohol policies must include gender-responsive strategies to protect vulnerable families. They call for reforms combining regulation, prevention, and community action.

Comprehensive Mapping of Tracer Diffusivities Across Composition Space in Ternary NiAlTi and Quinary NiCoFeAlTi High-Entropy Alloy Using Diffusion Couple Experiments and Physics Informed Neural Network Inversion
A comprehensive experimental and physics informed neural network numerical inverse diffusion analysis is conducted in technologically important NiAlTi ternary and NiCoFeAlTi quinary solid solutions for estimating and extracting composition dependent diffusion coefficients. A systematic variation of tracer, intrinsic and interdiffusion coefficients with composition could be estimated in the ternary solid solution. Following, the possibility of producing Al Ti constant PB diffusion profiles keepi…

I‘m suddenly getting some two year old video posts in my timeline from #peertube accounts I‘m following (veronica explains for example). Anyone else experiencing that? What could cause this?
They drip in over time, so it’s even quite nice to see content I might have missed out on before I was a subscriber….

Taming Spontaneous Stop-and-Go Traffic Waves: A Bifurcation Perspective of A Dynamical Map
We consider a discrete-time dynamical system in a car-following context. The system was recently introduced to parsimoniously model human driving behavior based on utility maximization. The parameters of the model were calibrated using vehicle trajectory data from the Sugiyama experiment. It was shown that such a system can accurately reproduce the observed collective phenomena of a more elaborate experiment by Tadaki et al. Once the heterogeneity and noise are switched off, the model defines a…

A Decoy-like Protocol for Quantum Key Distribution: Enhancing the Performance with Imperfect Single Photon Sources
Quantum key distribution (QKD) relies on single photon sources (SPSs), e.g. from solid-state systems, as flying qubits, where security strongly requires sub-Poissonian photon statistics with low second-order correlation values (\$g^{(2)}(0)\$). However, achieving such low \$g^{(2)}(0)\$ remains experimentally challenging. We therefore propose a decoy-like QKD protocol that relaxes this constraint while maintaining security. This enables the use of many SPSs with \$g^{(2)}(0) > \$0.1, routinely …
