At some point, DOPs should stop going for even shallower depth of field or even weirder anamorphic lens distortion. I'm feeling like an old guy complaining about how "you can't see anything on the screen! It's too dark". Only I'm like "nothing is in focus anymore you doofuses!"
Yes, this is a subtoot about #Brick on

Outdoor scene from the German Netflix movie Brick. Medium closeup shot of a bearded white guy with a shirt and tie who is standing in the street facing the camera. Two other actors, a brunette woman on the left and a man on the right are with their backs to the camera. Due to the shallow depth of field and motion blur even the actor who should be in focus is slightly out of focus. The street background is very out of focus as are the backs of the other to actors.

The Conductor and the Engine: A Path Towards Co-Designed Reasoning
Modern LLM reasoning relies on extensive test-time computation, driven by internal model training and external agentic orchestration. However, this synergy is often inefficient, as model verbosity and poor instruction following lead to wasted compute. We analyze this capability-cost trade-off and introduce an optimized reasoning workflow (\cepo) that empowers smaller open-source models to outperform models multiple times their size. We will open-source this workflow to enable further research. …

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A grainy black-and-white photo of a staircase leading upward. At the top, two sharing bikes rest side by side near a brick wall. Handrails border both sides of the stairs. A tree is visible beyond the wall. The composition suggests a contrast between mobility and stillness. 中文替代文字： 一张黑白颗粒感照片，画面是一段通向上方的楼梯。楼梯顶端靠墙放着两辆共享单车彼此并列。楼梯两侧有扶手，墙外可见一棵树。画面构图富有行动与静止的对比。
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white image of an outdoor construction or storage site. Stacks of bricks and concrete blocks dominate the foreground, some covered with tarps. Behind them, a fence encloses the area, with trees and a partially visible vehicle beyond. The grainy texture and muted tones give the scene a raw, industrial, and slightly nostalgic atmosphere. 中文替代文字： 一张黑白照片，展示一个户外施工或储存场地。前景是堆叠的砖块和混凝土块，有些覆盖着防水布。背景中有围栏，围栏外是树木和一辆部分可见的车辆。颗粒感和灰暗色调营造出粗犷的工业氛围，略带怀旧气息。
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A tranquil garden scene in black and white. In the foreground, blooming roses with soft petals are surrounded by leafy bushes and dense plants. A lone path runs behind the garden, separating it from a backdrop of tall, shadowy trees. The trees form a natural curtain, adding depth and serenity. The monochrome tone evokes nostalgia and quiet beauty, with soft contrasts between light and shade. 中文替代文字： 一幅黑白花园景象。前景中盛开的玫瑰花瓣柔美，四周环绕着茂密的灌木和植物。花园后方是一条幽闭的小径，背后…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A bustling urban walkway flanked by tall office buildings with grid-like glass facades. People walk or sit along the path, some near bollards that separate the walkway from the road. In the distance, a skyscraper with a crown-like top rises prominently. Signs in English and Asian characters are visible. The black-and-white palette gives the scene a timeless, documentary feel. 中文替代文字： 一条繁忙的城市步道，两侧是高大的办公楼，玻璃幕墙呈网格状。行人沿路行走或坐在路边，有些靠近分隔道路的柱墩。远处一座顶部如皇冠般的摩天大…

In a short period of time Trump has announced that
- paracetamol causes autism
- vaccines are bad for babies
- the West is being destroyed by immigration
- climate change is a hoax
This is all bullshit, and we all know it, but it needs to be reported like that.
Daft old man shouts at cloud (but also happens to be POTUS)

Watch live: Trump calls climate change a ‘con job’ and accuses countries of failing to control borders
Irish delegation intends on using the high-level week to emphasise the dire need for urgent resolution

YSGAG: The Ideal Substrate for YIG in Quantum Magnonics
Quantum magnonics leverages the quantum mechanical properties of magnons for advancing nanoscale quantum information technologies. Ferrimagnetic yttrium iron garnet (YIG), known for its exceptionally long magnon lifetimes, is a cornerstone material for magnonics and is typically grown into thin films on gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrates due to near-perfect lattice matching. However, the paramagnetic nature of GGG introduces damping mechanisms detrimental to quantum applications at low …

An absolute curtain of rain closed in and caused a delay. It soon passed and the game was able to resume.
At 3-2, it was a narrower victory for the home team, the Salem Red Sox, than it ought to have been. The Carolina Mudcats had 6 errors. There could have been a 7th, but the scorers must have felt some charity for a duffed ball at 3B and let it slide.
Single A baseball is that of dream chasers and prospect pitching, not necessarily brilliant talent and discipline.

A baseball game in progress at Salem Memorial Ballpark, featuring a Salem Red Sox batter in white attire at home plate, a Carolina Mudcats pitcher in gray on the mound, and players positioned in the outfield. There are advertisements visible on the outfield fence and a flag flying
A dramatic sky displaying contrasting weather conditions: dark storm clouds and bands of rain on the left and lighter, partially cloudy skies on the right over distant mountains. Trees and sports field lights are visible in the foreground.
