Arrived in our #Airbnb apartment in #Lisbon. Very authentic and romantic. Fourth floor in an old building at sea level by the port, close to the Santa Apolónia station. Not cheap but not terribly expensive either. #Interrail

"Gove thinks racist jokes are funny, has elevated scientific racism within the Department for Education, and worked with an organisation – the Henry Jackson Society – which for years has acted as a transmission belt amplifying mainstream far-right white nationalist ideas into the centre-right of UK policymaking"

Michael Gove: The Extremist – Byline Times
Whether laughing at racism, or associating with the promoters of eugenics and anti-Muslim think tanks, the Communities Secretary is indicted by his own definition

Excited to see what shady stuff AG1 is doing. Anyone who can advertise on that many YouTube videos is probably doing something that is a scam.

Learning-based Position and Stiffness Feedforward Control of Antagonistic Soft Pneumatic Actuators using Gaussian Processes
Variable stiffness actuator (VSA) designs are manifold. Conventional model-based control of these nonlinear systems is associated with high effort and design-dependent assumptions. In contrast, machine learning offers a promising alternative as models are trained on real measured data and nonlinearities are inherently taken into account. Our work presents a universal, learning-based approach for position and stiffness control of soft actuators. After introducing a soft pneumatic VSA, the model …
