NFC Contender Taking Its Time on Extending Their Franchise Quarterback
Cowboys have reportedly decided to be patient while working on a Dak Prescott extension, but not necessarily because they don’t want him. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN in a recent report said the following: “I was told from a source with the team that the notion that the Cowboys don’t want to keep Dak Prescott beyond 2024, when he’ll be a free agent the next year, is false, that they still believe in him firmly. They want him long-term, but I would describe their pursuits at a contract extensio…

thoughts on the openai Sora video examples
- it doesn't understand 3d, just fakes it, same way image generators do. (these are all diffusion models, 2d NN architecture trained on 2d image data. Sora is aware of multiple frames, so it's weakly 2d time)
- it's bad at following prompts. several prompts describe many things not in the output, which feels like it just reproduced from memory something "close enough"
- these critiques are like complaining that a…

I’d noticed some Premium Economy flights are really, really nice with a separate cabin and food service, but most are just Economy with More Inches of Leg Room, which isn’t worth the upcharge imho. Now I know why: When flying from San Francisco to Newark, I was flying a plane configured for International flights. But—only Newark. Chicago, Boston, no, you’re going to have a Bad Time unless you pay two or three times as much for a ticket.
"A great way to fly United's brand new Boeing 787-10 is on a transcontinental flight from Newark (EWR) to Los Angeles (LAX) or San Francisco (SFO). United's 787-10 fleet has (real) Polaris seats and Premium Plus, United's new international premium economy cabin.”

sp_high_school_new: High school dynamic contacts (2011-2012)
These datasets contain the temporal network of contacts between students in a high school in Marseilles, France. The first dataset gives the contacts of the students of three classes during 4 days in Dec. 2011, and the second corresponds to the contacts of the students of 5 classes during 7 days (from a Monday to the Tuesday of the following week) in Nov. 2012.
This network has 126 nodes and 28561 edges.

Characterisation of analogue Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor test structures implemented in a 65 nm CMOS imaging process
Analogue test structures were fabricated using the Tower Partners Semiconductor Co. CMOS 65 nm ISC process. The purpose was to characterise and qualify this process and to optimise the sensor for the next generation of Monolithic Active Pixels Sensors for high-energy physics. The technology was explored in several variants which differed by: doping levels, pixel geometries and pixel pitches (10-25 $μ$m). These variants have been tested following exposure to varying levels of irradiation up to …
