"Labour’s economic strategy, if it can be called a strategy, is based upon growth delivering the tax income needed to fund our public services, with limited tax increases and the hope of ‘trickle down’ from wide-ranging deregulation of finance and planning."
John McDonnell still hanging in there it seems. A forlorn hope? Or a careful programmatic tactic?

3D forest semantic segmentation using multispectral LiDAR and 3D deep learning
Conservation and decision-making regarding forest resources necessitate regular forest inventory. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) in laser scanning systems has gained significant attention over the past two decades as a remote and non-destructive solution to streamline the labor-intensive and time-consuming procedure of forest inventory. Advanced multispectral (MS) LiDAR systems simultaneously acquire three-dimensional (3D) spatial and spectral information across multiple wavelengths of the…

Neulich sagte einer, wie doof er Threema fände: Denn obwohl es Geld koste, kämen manche Nachrichten erst 2 Tage später an. Da lobe er sich WhatsApp: gratis und funktioniert immer.
Ich hätte ganz viel dazu sagen können, habe aber entschieden, es nicht zu tun.
(Und ja, auch bei mir funktioniert Thr. nicht immer gut. Deshalb nutze ich lieber Signal. Und auch da weiß ich, dass ich immer mal reinschauen muss, weil manche Nachrichten hängenbleiben. Aber das ist dann halt so)

On dit qu’il ne faut jamais rencontrer ses héros, sous peine d’être déçu. Franchement, je ne sais pas quel imbécile a pondu cette énormité. Je viens d’en avoir la preuve : c’est une belle connerie.

Designing for Community Care: Reimagining Support for Equity & Well-being in Academia
Academic well-being is deeply influenced by peer-support networks, yet they remain informal, inequitable, and unsustainable, often relying on personal connections and social capital rather than structured, inclusive systems. Additionally, institutional well-being responses frequently focus on student populations, neglecting the emotional labour of faculty and staff, reinforcing an exclusionary academic culture. Drawing on HCI methodologies, participatory design, and care ethics, this workshop w…

Rachael Maskell, the Labour MP for York Central, who is one of the leading opponents of the bill, said: “They are going to have to go back to the negotiating table … deaf and disabled people’s organisations [DDPOs] are rejecting these changes as it fails to address future need and gives no security for people with fluctuating conditions, for instance where people are in remission.”

Thermodynamic ranking of pathways in reaction networks
Chemical Reaction Networks (CRNs) provide a powerful framework for modeling complex systems due to their compositionality, which makes them well-suited for analyzing interactions of subsystems within larger aggregate systems. This work presents a thermodynamic formalism for ranking CRN pathways under fixed throughput currents (fixed velocities of species flowing in and out of the system), where pathways represent subnetworks capable of performing the stipulated chemical conversion. We define a …

Il est rare de trouver un auteur capable de restituer, en littérature, le sentiment que procure la photographie de rue. Il capture les rues, les bâtiments, les rencontres comme des archives persistantes qui se dévoilent devant nos yeux. Pourtant, il existe un auteur...
