‘CBS Evening News’: Tony Dokoupil Under Fire for Interviewing His Own Mom
Viewers accuse CBS News of 'dumbing down.

Concerns: ceded possession too easily late. Set pieces continue to be a boat anchor. Are we negative on their \-? Feels like it.
Szoboszlai being out really shows the quality he adds to the side.
Some of the new players still don’t have the stamina to play 90’. Wirtz and Ekitike fell off dramatically in the second half.
Joys: a special shout out to Curtis Jones, who was quietly fantastic. Wirtz is my MOTM. Kerkez had perhaps his best game yet. Frimpong delivering offensive…

LoD-Structured 3D Gaussian Splatting for Streaming Video Reconstruction

Abstract: Free-Viewpoint Video (FVV) reconstruction enables photorealistic and interactive 3D scene visualization; however, real-time streaming is often bottlenecked by sparse-view inputs, prohibitive training costs, and bandwidth constraints. While recent 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has advanced FVV due to its superior rendering speed, Streaming Free-Viewpoint Video (SFVV) introduces additional demands for rapid optimization, high-fidelity reconstruction under sparse constraints, and minimal storage footprints. To bridge this gap, we propose StreamLoD-GS, an LoD-based Gaussian Splatting framework designed specifically for SFVV. Our approach integrates three core innovations: 1) an Anchor- and Octree-based LoD-structured 3DGS with a hierarchical Gaussian dropout technique to ensure efficient and stable optimization while maintaining high-quality rendering; 2) a GMM-based motion partitioning mechanism that separates dynamic and static content, refining dynamic regions while preserving background stability; and 3) a quantized residual refinement framework that significantly reduces storage requirements without compromising visual fidelity. Extensive experiments demonstrate that StreamLoD-GS achieves competitive or state-of-the-art performance in terms of quality, efficiency, and storage.

Really, it was a thing:

Moments after Trump finished taping a 13-minute interview on Tuesday
with the “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil in Michigan,
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, approached Mr. Dokoupil and his colleagues to convey a message from the president.
“He said, ‘Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full,’”
Ms. Leavitt said in an even tone, according to a recording of the exchange obtained by The New York Times.

Often overlooked in guitar circles when compared to bandmate Jerry Garcia, Weir was a brilliant rhythm player who blended jazz, folk, country, blues, and rockabilly influences into a style that any guitarist would do well to study

"We feel accountable to our religious tradition. And just as accountable to our own intuition. When we have a question or a challenge on our religious tradition, we don't abandon our religious tradition, nor do we assume a posture of submission or sacrifice towards our own intution. That is not what the Talmud does, instead, we think harder, think more critically, think more carefully." Sammanfattar bra min syn på bibeltolkning och vrf Talmud är ett så storslaget dokument

The Talmud has often been subject to misrepresentation—viewed as esoteric or overly complex—yet it holds profound power as a centerpiece of Jewish tradition. How can Talmud and Talmud study anchor an approach to Judaism that speaks to the challenges  and dangers of our moment? How can its embrace of complexity, argument, and multivocality offer a model for living a thoughtful and principled Jewish life in our uncertain times?  Source sheet: https://mechonhadar.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/…
