Supporting Creative Ownership through Deep Learning-Based Music Variation
This paper investigates the importance of personal ownership in musical AI design, examining how practising musicians can maintain creative control over the compositional process. Through a four-week ecological evaluation, we examined how a music variation tool, reliant on the skill of musicians, functioned within a composition setting. Our findings demonstrate that the dependence of the tool on the musician's ability, to provide a strong initial musical input and to turn moments into complete …

Surprisingly, this night wasn't so bad.
The neighbor's party was without loud music, just some random shouting after midnight.
Of course, people with premature explosion problem started firing in the late afternoon. Near 23 it became quiet enough for me to fall asleep finally. Then, between 23.45 and 1 AM you couldn't, and Ruh 🐱 started panicking. I managed to get her back to bed by half past midnight.
Nothing woke me up then — no "one more box, bro" after 3 AM. Perhaps the frost helped.

BREAKING:
Reverend Bizarre – They Used Dark Forces/Teutonic Witch
wymiata. 29 minut solidnych riffów, basu i perkusji, powtarzanych ponad rozsądek, a jednak jakimś cudem nie przyprawiających o znudzenie.
A to tylko pierwszy utwór. Reszta albumu też dobra.
Niestety, nie ma go na bandcampie, i nie znam już żadnego innego źródła muzyki, więc znalezienie go pozostaje jako ćwiczenie dla czytelnika.

The U.S. may deny migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border access to asylum under a newly finalized regulation drafted during the COVID-19 pandemic in Donald Trump's first term.

BREAKING:
Reverend Bizarre – They Used Dark Forces/Teutonic Witch
is truly awesome. Like, 29 minutes of solid riffs, bass and percussion, repeated beyond any reason, yet miraculously not boring at all.
Oh, that's just one song. The rest of the album is pretty good too.
Unfortunately, it's not on bandcamp and I don't know of any good music service these days, so I guess finding it is left as an exercise for the reader.

Extra Radiation Cosmologies: Implications of the Hubble Tension for eV-scale Neutrinos
We present a new analysis on sterile neutrino cosmologies using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) second data release (DR2) baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements in combination with cosmic microwave background (CMB), CMB lensing, and supernova data. We show that BAO observables are intrinsically less sensitive to the combined effects of relativistic energy density, $N_{\rm eff}$, and the sum of neutrino masses, $Σm_ν$, which are both augmented in sterile neutrino cosmol…

PODOLYAK on dismantling Russian influence! ⚡️US secret levers, pressure on China, and Macron's trap!: https://benborges.xyz/2025/12/28/podolyak-on-dismantling-russian-influence.html

Przydałoby mi się: serwis, który pokazuje, ile śmiegu jest w danym miejscu. Nie prognozę opadów, nie bieżące opady, tylko czy jest gdzieś wczorajszy śnieg, czy nie ma.
Tak, już spojrzałem na kadry z kamer miejskich. Ale przydałoby się coś pewniejszego.
