Crypto exchange Cryptomus fined record $177M by Canada's financial crime watchdog | CBC News
A cryptocurrency exchange has been slapped with a fine of almost $177 million — the largest-ever penalty by Canada's financial intelligence agency — for infractions including failing to flag more than 1,000 transactions with suspected links to criminal activity.

HOGraspFlow: Exploring Vision-based Generative Grasp Synthesis with Hand-Object Priors and Taxonomy Awareness
We propose Hand-Object\emph{(HO)GraspFlow}, an affordance-centric approach that retargets a single RGB with hand-object interaction (HOI) into multi-modal executable parallel jaw grasps without explicit geometric priors on target objects. Building on foundation models for hand reconstruction and vision, we synthesize $SE(3)$ grasp poses with denoising flow matching (FM), conditioned on the following three complementary cues: RGB foundation features as visual semantics, HOI contact reconstructio…

I went cold-turkey with caffeine 10 days ago.
After a few days of severe headaches and generally not feeling great - I started actually to sleep better, and thanks to that - I have more energy during the days, generally in a better mood, and I am finally feeling inspired to do fun stuff again.
Just finished my next meshtastic solar node, and currently fixing up my homelab that has been neglected for 7 month or so.

Automatizing the search for mass resonances using BumpNet
Physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) has yet to be observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), motivating the development of model-agnostic, machine learning-based strategies to probe more regions of the phase space. As many final states have not yet been examined for mass resonances, an accelerated approach to bump-hunting is desirable. BumpNet is a neural network trained to map smoothly falling invariant-mass histogram data to statistical significance values. It provides a unique, automat…

80 Hilarious And Weird Cats To Bless Your Day
They’ve clawed their way into our screens, hearts and possibly even our furniture. Cats the unofficial rulers of the digital world. And we wouldn’t be surprised if they’re secretly plotting to take over the real world too. These feisty felines have been serving looks, chaos and unexpected comedy for centuries. You don’t have to be […]

A HyperFlash and ÈCLAT view of the local environment and energetics of the repeating FRB 20240619D
Time-variable propagation effects provide a window into the local plasma environments of repeating fast radio burst (FRB) sources. Here we report high-cadence observations of FRB 20240619D, as part of the HyperFlash and ÉCLAT programs. We observed for $500$h and detected $217$ bursts, including $10$ bursts with high fluence ($>25$ Jy ms) and implied energy. We track burst-to-burst variations in dispersion measure (DM) and rotation measure (RM), from which we constrain the parallel magnetic fie…
