Christus in der Tiefe - den haben wir heute tatsächlich gesehen in der Bucht von San Fruttuoso. Ein wunderschöner Ort mit Kloster. Ein 78 Jahre alter früherer Dorfbewohner hat uns mit seinem Ruderboot dort hin gebracht. Durch die Wasserlupe konnte man ihn gut erkennen, auf dem Foto kommt das leider nicht raus. In der Kirche gibt es aber eine Kopie. Hier habe ich letztes Jahr eine Andacht dazu gemacht:

Man könnte meinen, DJI sei der einzige verbliebene Drohnenhersteller auf dem deutschen Markt. Doch mit Potensics Atom 2 gibt es eine Alternative.

PLpol, pseudoliberalism
Tell me, is a "liberal" the kind of person to claim that a woman must not become a president, as she'll get mad with power? Does a "liberal" declare their tolerance for specific people by using insulting names for them? Does a "liberal" call certain minorities "loafers"? Does a "liberal" support dismantling public services for "cost reduction"? Yet these are the views held by the voters of PO/KO, the Polish party often called "liberal".
It is not a liberal party, and it won't be one, because they have too much to lose. For years now, they exist only as an alternative to the "conservative" PiS party — not as something truly opposite, but as a comfortable alternative that's not all that different. So the Polish can gladly focus their contrarian, hateful nature into voting against one or the other party, without having to worry too much that some immoral rainbow force will try to shatter the bubble of their worldview.

Who do I have to buy a giant coffee for so that this crap that’s been around for three million years finally gets fixed? 🤔 🍵 😏
In #PHP, you can use both elseif and else if - except when you use the alternative control structure syntax (: ... endif;), where ONLY elseif works.
Why does it have to be so inconsistent and confusing?
Wouldn’t it be great if PHP just picked one way t…

DiFuse-Net: RGB and Dual-Pixel Depth Estimation using Window Bi-directional Parallax Attention and Cross-modal Transfer Learning
Depth estimation is crucial for intelligent systems, enabling applications from autonomous navigation to augmented reality. While traditional stereo and active depth sensors have limitations in cost, power, and robustness, dual-pixel (DP) technology, ubiquitous in modern cameras, offers a compelling alternative. This paper introduces DiFuse-Net, a novel modality decoupled network design for disentangled RGB and DP based depth estimation. DiFuse-Net features a window bi-directional parallax atte…

The new party The Left by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, despite not even having an official name yet, is currently polling at 15%, and hence even with Labour.
This is an incredible feat and I wish best of luck to the party and its success!

Jede fünfte Firma in Deutschland sucht laut TechConsult-Umfrage bereits nach Alternativen zu US-Clouds. Besonders im öffentlichen Sektor wächst der Wunsch nach europäischer Souveränität. Die Cloud-Strategie wird zur Standortfrage. Die TechConsult-Umfrage macht deutlich: Souveränität ist keine Randnotiz mehr #Computerwoche

Vision-and-Language Training Helps Deploy Taxonomic Knowledge but Does Not Fundamentally Alter It
Does vision-and-language (VL) training change the linguistic representations of language models in meaningful ways? Most results in the literature have shown inconsistent or marginal differences, both behaviorally and representationally. In this work, we start from the hypothesis that the domain in which VL training could have a significant effect is lexical-conceptual knowledge, in particular its taxonomic organization. Through comparing minimal pairs of text-only LMs and their VL-trained coun…

To go back to my previous post, for a plant-based diet to be attractive, we need to help people choose plant based alternatives to meat for more or less all occasions. So meat is no longer the default
That's what we need good chefs for: to help turn traditional foods into vegetarian/vegan alternatives that are tasty and easy to prepare.
Most traditional dishes are surprisingly modern. Our tastes can easily be changed...
As an example, in France, the markets are laden with charcuterie and cheese, BUT ALSO, beautiful fresh fruits and vegetables - a nudge towards the latter would improve human health, animal welfare and reduce emissions...

Optimizers Qualitatively Alter Solutions And We Should Leverage This
Due to the nonlinear nature of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), one can not guarantee convergence to a unique global minimum of the loss when using optimizers relying only on local information, such as SGD. Indeed, this was a primary source of skepticism regarding the feasibility of DNNs in the early days of the field. The past decades of progress in deep learning have revealed this skepticism to be misplaced, and a large body of empirical evidence shows that sufficiently large DNNs following stand…
