Kodak Double-X 5222 (FF)

English Alt Text:
Inside a subway car, several passengers stand and sit in a well-lit, modern carriage. Most are absorbed in their smartphones, reflecting typical urban commuter behavior. Overhead hand grips hang from the ceiling, and one wall is marked with “JC192.” In the foreground, a seated man wears wireless earbuds and looks at his phone. Another seated person is partially visible. Standing passengers hold onto grips or lean against walls. The scene captures a qu…

In a public transportation terminal, travelers walk through a hallway with sliding glass doors. Some pull luggage, others carry shopping bags. A person in the foreground wears a face mask and cap, holding a drink and bags. Chinese signage above the doors suggests a location in a Chinese-speaking region. The image captures motion, routine, and the rhythm of travel.

A busy sidewalk in a Chinese-speaking city shows pedestrians walking, sitting, and interacting. A person in a wheelchair moves along the pavement, while another sits on a cylindrical object. Scooters passes by in the background. Chinese signage decorates buildings, and bollards separate the sidewalk from the road. Trees provide shade. The image highlights accessibility, social diversity, and everyday urban life.

#FotoVorschlag 'gegenlicht'
I think this might the topic.
I took the photo in early march this year.
The summit wasn't very crowded as it was VERY windy and thus very cold up there. Most people weren't prepared for this much wind and went further down to seek shelter from the wind and sit cozy in the sun.
I dressed up and spend the time exposed to the …

A peaceful scene captured on a snowy mountain, showing a white cross standing tall against a backdrop of grey clouds in the sky. The winter landscape is serene and cold, with a hint of sunlight breaking through. A lone pole is visible nearby, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The image is devoid of any objects or faces, focusing solely on the beauty of nature and the religious symbol. The dominant colors of white and grey create a sense of calm, while the accent color of deep blue adds a touch…

You can wave an Israeli flag but not a Hezbollah one.
You can express support for the genocidal IDF but not the problematic but non-genocidal Hezbollah.
It's not even a double standard.

FBI: Learning Dexterous In-hand Manipulation with Dynamic Visuotactile Shortcut Policy

FBI: Learning Dexterous In-hand Manipulation with Dynamic Visuotactile Shortcut Policy
Dexterous in-hand manipulation is a long-standing challenge in robotics due to complex contact dynamics and partial observability. While humans synergize vision and touch for such tasks, robotic approaches often prioritize one modality, therefore limiting adaptability. This paper introduces Flow Before Imitation (FBI), a visuotactile imitation learning framework that dynamically fuses tactile interactions with visual observations through motion dynamics. Unlike prior static fusion methods, FBI …

https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.13887

A Survey of Dimension Estimation Methods
It is a standard assumption that datasets in high dimension have an internal structure which means that they in fact lie on, or near, subsets of a lower dimension. In many instances it is important to understand the real dimension of the data, hence the complexity of the dataset at hand. A great variety of dimension estimators have been developed to find the intrinsic dimension of the data but there is little guidance on how to reliably use these estimators. This survey reviews a wide range o…

Content warning: good analysis of "age verification" practicalities / risks

Really good clear explanation from @…, laying out various problems and risks with trying to implement "age verification" online.
"Firstly, in order to prove your age you’re being asked to hand over some fairly important personal details. ... Usually the company you’re handing these details to is a third party, often one you will never have heard of before. ...
"The data that is being collected for age verification purposes is extremely tempting to hackers ... and at the moment there is no specific regulation outlining the security standards that these companies should meet ...
"Let’s say all the current age verification providers are incredibly robust, though. ... The question still remains... should you be sharing this information with random websites anyway?
"... once you’ve trained the population of an entire country to routinely hand over their credit card details in order to access content, you have given them an incredibly bad habit that it’s going to be tough to break. ... You don’t just prove your age once, after all, you potentially have to do it dozens of times, to access a bunch of different websites. Everything from BlueSky to PornHub to Spotify and even maybe Wikipedia. It becomes a weekly or perhaps monthly occurrence. Just as individual users don’t tend to read every website’s terms and conditions, it’s unlikely they’re all going to do due diligence checks on every provider who asks for ID, especially once they’ve become used to just handing that data over.
"And although that may not be a problem for _you_, you tech-savvy cleverclogs, if you’ve ever found yourself in the position of unpaid IT support for one of your less knowledgeable friends or relatives, hopefully you can see why it’s a huge problem for the UK population more broadly."
And more!

Here's my physics professor and friend Carl Franck and family after the Forest Frolic in James Kennedy State Forest on a rainy summer day
#photo #photography #ForestFriday

Three people stand on a doubletrack dirt road in a bright green forest; from left to right:

- an older man wearing a blue shirt and grey jacket holding a black garbage bag over his shoulder and wearing sneakers and short hair

- an older woman (shortest of the group) wearing a high viz volunteer t-shirt for the Finger Lakes Runners Club

- a younger man (tallest) wearing some kind of grey plastic poncho with a prominent large watch on his left (your right) hand

Search for a Heavy-philic W' Boson using Proton-Proton Collisions at Center-of-Mass Energy of 13 TeV Using the ATLAS Detector

Search for a Heavy-philic W' Boson using Proton-Proton Collisions at Center-of-Mass Energy of 13 TeV Using the ATLAS Detector
This thesis presents a search for a new, hypothetical particle predicted by theories extending the Standard Model of particle physics. This heavy $W'$ boson interacts only with the heaviest known quarks, top and bottom (heavy-philic). Such a particle could provide insight into the fundamental forces of nature and be the first hint at extra dimensions or a composite Higgs. The $W'$ boson is produced in high-energy proton-proton collisions, mainly through gluon fusion. Its decay leads to a distin…

A black-and-white photo shows a man practicing Chinese calligraphy on a city sidewalk using a large brush dipped in water. He bends slightly forward, one hand behind his back, the other guiding the brush with precision. The wet characters shimmer briefly on the pavement before fading. Behind him, cars pass on a busy street, a police officer stands nearby, and pedestrians walk past storefronts. The scene blends fleeting traditional art with modern urba…

Uff finally I wrote the blogpost for a hike I did in May (and you've probably seen the video of it already). But I haven't shared the #photos ans some more background story from it.
I don't know why but this time I found it really hard to write. Maybe I'm a bit out of practice or I just didn't find the right mood for it - I'm not sure.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy…
