"But Wall Street professionals, like so many other ostensibly smart people, refused to see Trump clearly, mistaking his skill as a demagogue for wisdom as a policymaker. “I don’t think this was foreseeable,” a mournful Ackman posted on X on Monday. “I assumed economic rationality would be paramount.” What an odd assumption to make about a man who bankrupted casinos.
Berezin thinks Wall Street still hasn’t come to terms with the cost of the nascent Trump presidency. “I do think that at this point we might have passed the event horizon, meaning that even if Trump backs off from the tariffs, there’s been enough damage done to the U.S. economy, to the global economy, to investor confidence, consumer confidence, that we’re probably going to see a recession regardless of what happens,” he said.""

Critically endangered chameleon discovered outside its known habitat in Madagascar
ANTANANARIVO — At the end of April, a team of researchers scouring a scarred area of spiny forest in southwestern Madagascar came across three individuals of a critically endangered chameleon species. Furcifer belalandaensis had not previously been recorded outside of a tiny, 4-square-kilometer (1.5-square-mile) area near the village of Belalanda after which it’s named, so […]

FreqPolicy: Frequency Autoregressive Visuomotor Policy with Continuous Tokens
Learning effective visuomotor policies for robotic manipulation is challenging, as it requires generating precise actions while maintaining computational efficiency. Existing methods remain unsatisfactory due to inherent limitations in the essential action representation and the basic network architectures. We observe that representing actions in the frequency domain captures the structured nature of motion more effectively: low-frequency components reflect global movement patterns, while high-…

There’s a new museum on Naoshima Island! This NYT article also describes the many other museums and exhibits installed there.
This is the “art island” that Lynn and I visited a couple months ago. Looks like we’ll have to go back! This time we’ll know to book rooms way in advance (and to stay longer than two nights).

I think, at this point of time, all fediverse software supports markdown, some even support LaTeX formatting. But, Mastodon still doesn't support any of that. I sadly observe that everyone around me posting per posts with bold, italics etc, while I can't.
Mastodon feels like the gnome of fediverse software.
