🚚 The real power: crossing the queue boundary. Context dehydrates into the job payload under illuminate:log:context, then hydrates back on JobProcessing — so an async job's logs carry the original trace_id and order_id.
🪝 Hooks dehydrating()/hydrated() restore values like locale across the queue. Modify the Repository passed to the callback, not the facade.

Sunrise In A Scale-free Landscape (2026)
(For reference, the visible valley section is ~6km long... Alt text for more info)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

View down into a large, almost featureless alpine post-glacial valley without any vegetation other than grasses. The first sun of the day is illuminating some of the large slopes on the right hand side. The much steeper, almost vertical rocky cliffs on the left are still in the blueish shade, waterfalls running down every kilometer or so. The bottom of the valley is a deep and narrow canyon. The view is from around a 1000 meters above, covering an approx. 6km stretch of the valley. The canyon r…

AI-based single-shot structured-light depth reconstruction for real-time laparoscopic surgical guidance

arxiv.org/abs/2608.05109 arxiv.org/pdf/2608.05109 arxiv.org/html/2608.05109
arXiv:2608.05109v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Significance. Accurate intraoperative depth perception is important for autonomous and semi-autonomous robotic laparoscopic surgery. Conventional fringe projection profilometry can achieve millimeter-scale accuracy but often requires multi-shot acquisition, digital-micromirror-device projection, and projector-camera synchronization, complicating integration into compact laparoscopic systems.
Aim. To develop a synchronization-free, single-shot depth-sensing platform using a passive LED-illuminated binary mask and a VQ-VAE prior with a custom U-Net depth head.
Approach. A compact projection module was coupled to one channel of a dual-channel laparoscope, while the second channel imaged the fringe-illuminated target. A Zivid 3D camera acquired reference depth for 722 paired phantom images. Zivid depth maps were reprojected into the SSLE image frame for supervised training and evaluation. The VQ-VAE encoded each input into a discrete latent representation, and a latent-space U-Net predicted depth without a separate mask-prediction branch.
Results. Using a fixed train/validation/test split, the proposed model achieved an MAE of 3.70 mm, AbsRel of 0.0326, delta=1.1 accuracy of 0.962, and delta=1.1^2 accuracy of 0.970. It achieved lower MAE than the dual U-Net MaskNet DepthNet baseline and outperformed off-the-shelf monocular depth models in MAE, AbsRel, and threshold accuracy. The pipeline operated at 26.0 Hz over 301 consecutive frames on an NVIDIA A100 GPU.
Conclusions. The LED-illuminated binary-pattern platform with latent-space depth reconstruction enables synchronization-free, video-rate endoscopic depth estimation. Results demonstrate Zivid-referenced phantom reconstruction without an explicit segmentation stage, while emphasizing the importance of dataset size and SSLE-Zivid calibration accuracy.

No idea how to raise funds myself. One thing is clear: "big publishers" are no longer a good choice. The price of a paycheck is too high. Too many IPs stayed with the publisher and went straight into the title graveyard.
A while ago I called it the "ecological dead zone", a devastated mid-epidemic planet from Subnautica where only the plankton (solo devs) and the leviathans (megacorps) survived. Yet even the leviathans are not immune. They merely die much slower. Wi…

A digital painting shows a massive creature encased in ice in a dark, blue-toned cavernous environment being illuminated by a bright light source. On the left, a small, metallic spacecraft or submersible emits a strong beam of light directed toward the creature's face. The large creature possesses textured skin and prominent horn-like features, occupying much of the right side of the scene. The surroundings include dark rock formations, stalactites, and glowing blue crystalline structures on th…

Lucky LUCKY SHD 100 (6x7) English A black-and-white photograph of a person sitting on a wooden bench, facing away from the camera. The person wears a cap and a shoulder bag. In front of them is a signboard with Chinese characters and additional smaller text below. The scene is set in a park-like environment with trees casting dappled shadows on the ground. 中文 一张黑白照片，展示一个背对镜头坐在木椅上的人。该人戴着帽子，背着一个肩包。他们面前有一个标志牌，上面写着模糊的中文字以及下方的小字。场景设定在一个公园般的环境中，树木在地面上投射出斑驳的阴影。
Lucky LUCKY SHD 100 (6x7) English A black-and-white photograph of a traditional courtyard. The scene features a closed wooden door with two vertical decorative panels on either side, each adorned with circular designs. The door is set within a brick wall, with a tiled floor leading up to it. To the right, there is a stone pedestal and a large, cylindrical stone carving with intricate patterns. Sunlight casts sharp shadows, illuminating parts of the courtyard and creating a contrast between lig…

What a morning and long day it was last week! Was already out & about for 3 hours when I got to this place, earlier mostly taking hundreds of images of the nearby (~500m away) Breslauer Hut and vicinity during sunrise... The first large (and loud) group of people already got up at 4AM, getting ready for climbing Wildspitze, another group left an hour later, as did I. Maintenance/repair works on the hut continued at 08:30, taking lots more pictures to document, interviewin…

Photo of a high alpine landscape with three different valleys in bright hazy morning light. In the bottom left corner, still in the shade, a meandering creek is flowing down the rocky hanging valley formed by its former glacier. A small talus field in the sun, next to the path. Further in the distance much larger, deeper valleys, their floor occluded and only the upper sections illuminated. Glaciated peaks along the whole horizon, partially blanked out by intense bright light. Clear blue sky.
A small footpath, surrounded by talus fields, leading into the distance. Behind, on the other side of the invisible valley, some of the immense, imposing, glaciated peaks of the Kreuzkamm, specifically Talleitspitze (3406m) and Kreuzspitze (3455m). Not much is remaining of the formerly grand Eisferner in between these peaks. Clear blue sky.
