Um den #Niedlichkeitsfaktor des Tropensturms „Melissa“ mal zu illustrieren, hier der #Größenvergleich mit #Deutschland. 🤪

Das Bild zeigt eine farbverstärkte Satellitenaufnahme eines tropischen Wirbelsturms, der visuell über eine Karte von Deutschland gelegt wurde. Die Struktur des Sturms mit ausgeprägtem Auge und spiralartigen Regenbändern ist deutlich zu erkennen. Die Falschfarbendarstellung nutzt intensive Farben wie Violett, Rot, Orange und Grün, um unterschiedliche Temperatur- oder Niederschlagszonen hervorzuheben. Die Überlagerung suggeriert symbolisch die Ausdehnung oder Auswirkung eines Tropensturms namens …

Making this a subtoot so I don't come across as smug or condescending...
My decision to stop using github when they started providing services to ICE back in ~2016 felt awkward at times but has been feeling really good in hindsight right now.
I see a bunch of people now saying "why boycott X company over some "minor" transgression or political capitulation (or over a "neutral" stance on LLM code). The answer is: it shows what their values are, which predicts their future behavior, especially under the tilted playing field of capitalism. I'm by no means perfect at this and I don't think shouting at people to boycott is a good idea for several reasons. People should boycott what they want to, for their own reasons. But I am posting this to try to help others be aware of the upsides of taking action when confronted with "subtle" evidence of corporate unvalues.

Having just watched #Jaws for the first time in ages, I was stunned by the famous opening sequence ... but not by its cinematography or acting or editing - but by the never-ending chain of in-your-face #continuity errors in lighting once the girl enters the water: one moment we have a low Sun and a red sky, then we have the Sun near the zenith (with a day for night effect) then low again and so on, for several cycles.
Now #Spielberg, is there supposed to be some hidden message here? Well, there isn't.
(Once it's day, fortunately, this problem is gone, and a great movie unfolds, still fresh after 50 years. And I know, you shouldn't mess with a masterpiece, but Lucas added characters to Star Wars IV, and Cameron corrected a wrong star pattern in Titanic, so may be Spielberg could just, for an anniversary special edition ... o.k., I shut up. ;-)

GlobalizeEd: A Multimodal Translation System that Preserves Speaker Identity in Academic Lectures
A large amount of valuable academic content is only available in its original language, creating a significant access barrier for the global student community. This is a challenge for translating in several subjects, such as history, culture, and the arts, where current automated subtitle tools fail to convey the appropriate pedagogical tone and specialized meaning. In addition, reading traditional automated subtitles increases cognitive load and leads to a disconnected learning experience. Thr…

‘A hunger for wild, physical sensation’: Alan Hollinghurst on painter and writer Denton Welch who died tragically young
When the young painter was left severely injured after being knocked off his bike, he began to write – with astonishing vividness. As his paintings go on show, novelist Alan Hollinghurst celebrates this fierce talent

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A grainy black-and-white urban photograph, possibly taken through glass. On the left, a person wearing a helmet and carrying a bag walks along a wooden or tiled pathway. Behind them, a large number “7” is displayed on a glass wall or door, suggesting a building entrance or floor marker. The right side of the image is blurred with reflections, showing indistinct shapes and possibly another figure. The photo has a vintage, film-like texture, emphasizing…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photograph of a spiral metal staircase enclosed between two building walls. The staircase curves downward in a tight coil, with railings tracing its circular form. The perspective is from above, looking down into the narrow vertical shaft. The repeating lines of steps and railings create a hypnotic geometric pattern. The photo emphasizes symmetry, depth, and the interplay of light and shadow on the metal surfaces. 中文替代文字： 一张黑白照片，画面中…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A modern city street lined with tall glass-and-metal buildings. Large windows with vertical blinds reflect light, creating a sleek, geometric look. On the left, several brightly colored vertical signs in Chinese characters stand out against the grayscale tones. One sign reads “lottery,” another “football,” suggesting shops or betting outlets. A cyclist or motorbike rider moves away from the camera on the right side of the tiled street. Trees peek thro…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photograph of tall modern buildings with grid-like window patterns. The perspective looks upward through a narrow gap between the towers, emphasizing their height. A pedestrian bridge connects two buildings at an elevated level, forming a striking horizontal line across the vertical scene. The sky is visible at the top, with scattered leaves or debris adding movement. The composition highlights symmetry, geometry, and the imposing sc…

Ethical and sustainable mathematics is localised: why global paradigms fail and culturally-situated practices are essential
This paper identifies several different interconnected challenges preventing the move towards more ethical and sustainable mathematics education: the entrenched belief in mathematical neutrality, the difficulty of simultaneously reforming mathematics and its pedagogy, the gap between academic theory and classroom practice, and the need for epistemic decolonisation. In this context, we look at both bottom-up and top-down approaches, and argue that globalised frameworks such as the United Nations…
