Flipper – Public Flipper Limited (1986)
My favorite Flipper album. These live performances capture their essence quite well.
Also, the packaging is fun. The two sleeved jacket folds out to create a map of their tour.
Favorite track is definitely “Southern California”. Flipper just love antagonizing their audiences. And the version of “Life” on this album was recorded by Neil Hamburger

Podcast-Empfehlung: Habt ihr jemals darüber nachgedacht, wer eigentlich die Raumanzüge genäht hat, mit denen die NASA auf dem Mond war? In einer schon etwas älteren Folge von Teamistry geht es um genau dieses Team, wie es zustande kam und wie es zusammen arbeitete. Enjoy: https://www.

The Team that Fashioned Apollo 11 - Teamisty Podcast - Work Life by Atlassian
What do you see when Neil Armstrong steps on the moon for the first time? Not his face. You see his moonsuit. An “individual spaceship” that was created by an unlikely and unsung team of craftspeople without formal degrees and myth-busting seamstresses – where a single bad stitch meant certain death for the astronauts.

On the Use of Relative Validity Indices for Comparing Clustering Approaches
Relative Validity Indices (RVIs) such as the Silhouette Width Criterion, Calinski-Harabasz and Davie's Bouldin indices are the most popular tools for evaluating and optimising applications of clustering. Their ability to rank collections of candidate partitions has been used to guide the selection of the number of clusters, and to compare partitions from different clustering algorithms. Beyond these more conventional tasks, many examples can be found in the literature where RVIs have been used …

Room-temperature photonic quantum computing in integrated silicon photonics with germanium-silicon single-photon avalanche diodes

Room-temperature photonic quantum computing in integrated silicon photonics with germanium-silicon single-photon avalanche diodes
Most, if not all, photonic quantum computing (PQC) relies upon superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) based on Nb operated at a temperature < 4 K. This paper proposes and analyzes 300 K Si-waveguide-integrated GeSi single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) based on the recently demonstrated normal-incidence GeSi SPADs operated at room temperature, and shows that their performance is competitive against that of SNSPDs in a series of metrics for PQC with a reasonable time-gating w…

Sony takes down an interview with Naughty Dog Studio's Neil Druckmann after he posted a transcript showing that he didn't laud AI tools as Sony's edit implied (Kyle Orland/Ars Technica)

Sony apologizes for interview it says “misrepresented” a Last of Us creator
Move comes after Druckmann publicly disavowed some quotes: "This is not quite what I said."

Scalable Amortized GPLVMs for Single Cell Transcriptomics Data

Scalable Amortized GPLVMs for Single Cell Transcriptomics Data
Dimensionality reduction is crucial for analyzing large-scale single-cell RNA-seq data. Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models (GPLVMs) offer an interpretable dimensionality reduction method, but current scalable models lack effectiveness in clustering cell types. We introduce an improved model, the amortized stochastic variational Bayesian GPLVM (BGPLVM), tailored for single-cell RNA-seq with specialized encoder, kernel, and likelihood designs. This model matches the performance of the leadin…
