Adaptive Deep Learning for Efficient Visual Pose Estimation aboard Ultra-low-power Nano-drones
Sub-10cm diameter nano-drones are gaining momentum thanks to their applicability in scenarios prevented to bigger flying drones, such as in narrow environments and close to humans. However, their tiny form factor also brings their major drawback: ultra-constrained memory and processors for the onboard execution of their perception pipelines. Therefore, lightweight deep learning-based approaches are becoming increasingly popular, stressing how computational efficiency and energy-saving are param…

Filmmakers, critics, and users detail why Prime Video failed in Africa; Amazon laid off staff and scaled back operations on the continent in January 2024 (Jesusegun Alagbe/Rest of World)

How Prime Video failed so spectacularly in Africa
Filmmakers, critics, and users blame the platform’s struggle in Africa on poor user experience, a lack of local content, and mediocre publicity.

Counting Stars is Constant-Degree Optimal For Detecting Any Planted Subgraph
We study the computational limits of the following general hypothesis testing problem. Let H=H_n be an \emph{arbitrary} undirected graph on n vertices. We study the detection task between a ``null'' Erdős-Rényi random graph G(n,p) and a ``planted'' random graph which is the union of G(n,p) together with a random copy of H=H_n. Our notion of planted model is a generalization of a plethora of recently studied models initiated with the study of the planted clique model (Jerrum 1992), which corre…

Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs' son takes hilarious shot at NFL star's face https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/cowboys_cb_trevon_diggs_son_takes_hilarious_shot_at_nfl_stars_face/s1_17313_39910856…

Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs' son takes hilarious shot at NFL star's face
If you're a fan of the Dallas Cowboys or even the NFL for that matter, you have probably heard of Aaiden Diggs. The son of the Dallas Cowboys cornerback infamously made his debut when the Cowboys were featured on hard knocks back in 2021. He stole the hearts of viewers with his love for Dak Prescott and when he eventually met him, how he confused him with Patrick Mahomes. The "You're Dak Prescott" and "So good to see you" would become internet sensations that would last for months following. G…

An Excess of AGNs Triggered by Galaxy Mergers in MaNGA Galaxies of Stellar Mass $\sim10^{11}$ $M_{\odot}$
To facilitate new studies of galaxy merger driven fueling of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we present a catalog of 387 AGNs that we have identified in the final population of over $10,000$ $z<0.15$ galaxies observed by the SDSS-IV integral field spectroscopy survey Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA). We selected the AGNs via mid-infrared WISE colors, Swift/BAT ultra hard X-ray detections, NVSS and FIRST radio observations, and broad emission lines in SDSS spectra. By c…

One of the (first world) issues with the being an Icelandophile is following a ton of Icelanders and sometimes seeing links to Icelandic news stories which I’d like to read.
I’d have to copy the URL, open Safari, go to google translate, tap the website button, paste, tap go. A royal pain.
But I finally automated all that with Shortcuts.
Now I just hit the share button, choose the shortcut, and a webview opens with the Google translate page right there.

Direct observation of altermagnetic band splitting in CrSb thin films
Altermagnetism represents an emergent collinear magnetic phase with compensated order and an unconventional alternating even-parity wave spin order in the non-relativistic band structure. We investigate directly this unconventional band splitting near the Fermi energy through spinintegrated soft X-ray angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The experimentally obtained angle-dependent photoemission intensity, acquired from epitaxial thin films of the predicted altermagnet CrSb, demonstrates…
