How AI infiltrated perfume
Some say it’s innovation. Others call it erasure.

Le gourou Robert Spatz bientôt arrêté?
Robert Spatz, 81 ans, vit en Espagne, où il pourrait être interpellé à la demande d’un juge français. Il était le gourou de la secte Ogyen Kunzang Chöling (OKC).

Maatregelen rondom duurzaamheid en klimaatverandering sneuvelen her en der, tegelijk wordt de impact van klimaatverandering steeds duidelijker en concreter. Bizarre situatie.

Achieving 70 Gb/s Over A VCSEL-Based Optical Wireless Link Using A Multi-Mode Fiber-Coupled Receiver
In this paper, we demonstrate a laser-based optical wireless communication (OWC) system employing a 940 nm single-mode (SM) vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) and a multi-mode (MM) fiber-coupled receiver, achieving a record data rate beyond 70 Gb/s, while the optical transmit power is below 5 mW. The use of a high speed fiber-optic photoreceiver avoids limiting the communication bandwidth by the receiver, enabling ultra-high capacity and energy-efficient light fidelity (LiFi) links …

California highway project will ‘dump half a billion dollars into the ocean’ - Lemmy.World
Caltrans has proposed a $500 million project to widen a wine country highway that the agency said could be underwater in 25 years. Members of the California Transportation Commission will decide at a public meeting beginning Thursday whether to award Caltrans and local agencies a $73 million grant that would cover some of the cost to widen Highway 37 — a roadway linking Vallejo to Sears Point across the Napa Sonoma Marsh, much of which is only one lane in each direction. In the long term, Cal…

A New Quantum Interferometric Protocol Using Spin-Dependent Displacements
We propose a quantum interferometric protocol that leverages spin-dependent spatial displacements to enable high-precision parameter estimation beyond classical limits. By inducing a unitary coupling between a particles spin degree of freedom and its momentum, the protocol generates entanglement between spin states and spatial positions, resulting in coherent spatial superpositions. Interferometric reconstruction of the resulting phase differences enables Heisenberg limited sensitivity for para…
