Kleiner Rant: Muss bei der #KfW für eine Förderung meine Identität bestätigen. Zur Auswahl steht so ein Video-Ident-Verfahren irgendeines Anbieters, und PostIdent. Video-Ident bricht jedes Mal ab, bringe es auf meinem Mittelklasse-Android einfach nicht zum Laufen. PostIdent: Finde heute mal eine Post-Filiale … (und nein, die Paktshops dürfen das nicht). Dabei habe ich einen wunderhübschen

Social-Sensor Identity Cloning Detection Using Weakly Supervised Deep Forest and Cryptographic Authentication
Recent years have witnessed a rising trend in social-sensor cloud identity cloning incidents. However, existing approaches suffer from unsatisfactory performance, a lack of solutions for detecting duplicated accounts, and a lack of large-scale evaluations on real-world datasets. We introduce a novel method for detecting identity cloning in social-sensor cloud service providers. Our proposed technique consists of two primary components: 1) a similar identity detection method and 2) a cryptograph…

Performative Politics Is a Dead End
Canada’s New Democratic Party once rallied workers around a bold social democratic vision. The leadership contest now unfolding shows a center left so busy virtue signaling it forgets how to build power.

Transcranial focused ultrasound for identifying the neural substrate of conscious perception https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.08517 Indeed I see long-term potential for phased-array tFUS as a visual prosthesis for the late-blind. The company Nudge is developing a phased-array tFUS helmet.

Transcranial Focused Ultrasound for Identifying the Neural Substrate of Conscious Perception
Identifying what aspects of brain activity are responsible for conscious perception remains one of the most challenging problems in science. While progress has been made through psychophysical studies employing EEG and fMRI, research would greatly benefit from improved methods for stimulating the brain in healthy human subjects. Traditional techniques for neural stimulation through the skull, including electrical or magnetic stimulation, suffer from coarse spatial resolution and have limited ab…

Scientists identify 4,200 plastic chemicals of concern and highlight safer approaches
Countries are currently negotiating a global treaty to end plastic pollution and make plastics safer and more sustainable. Plastic chemicals are a core issue because all plastics, from food packaging to car tires, contain hundreds of chemicals that can leach into foodstuffs, homes, and the environment.

Identifiability of linear stochastic state-space models with application to ecology
State-space models are dynamical systems defined by a latent and an observed process. In ecology, stochastic state-space models in discrete time are most often used to describe the imperfectly observed dynamics of population sizes or animal movement. However, several studies have observed identifiability issues when state-space models are fitted to simulated or real data, and it is not currently clear whether those are due to data limitations or more fundamental model non-identifiability. To in…
