Time for authors to get off Audible (and ideally Amazon as well) before you'll find yourself trapped in a death spiral.
And yes, I know how hard that would hit most. But if Amazon is able to destroy competitors, nothing will stop them from exploiting you even more.

Elisabeth Wheatley auf Instagram: "Audible's new proposed royalty structure is a slap in the face to authors, readers who care about them, and exactly opposite of what they promised Brandon Sanderson barely a year ago. It is an attempt to seize a monopoly by punishing authors until they agree to exclusivity, which would drive Audible's competitors out of the market. If Audible implements this new royalty structure, I WILL be taking my audiobooks off their platform. I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I can do that, but many authors are not."

#NowPlaying some wakeup music -- this new aggro/hardcore punk EP from last month, 'Pantomime of Power' by London's NUCLEAR FEAR. You can listen to this whole thing in just six minutes. There's rough, loud, growling guitars, raw bass, and almost death metal-esque vocals. Lots to dig here.

MapKD: Unlocking Prior Knowledge with Cross-Modal Distillation for Efficient Online HD Map Construction
Online HD map construction is a fundamental task in autonomous driving systems, aiming to acquire semantic information of map elements around the ego vehicle based on real-time sensor inputs. Recently, several approaches have achieved promising results by incorporating offline priors such as SD maps and HD maps or by fusing multi-modal data. However, these methods depend on stale offline maps and multi-modal sensor suites, resulting in avoidable computational overhead at inference. To address t…

Jazzaria – Incalculable Gumbo
Jazzaria “Incalculable Gumbo” There is an argument that, regardless of complexity, all is theoretically knowable from prior conditions. Cause and effect explain all that was, is, and will be – if only we could gather and compute with the data. But even proponents of this argument will generally acknowledge that such a feat is unlikely...
