As usual, STMicro makes silicon I mostly like, but I don't like their packages.
Here's the STM32MP257 TFBGA436 package with balls color coded (somewhat roughly) by power domain/function. I grouped some similar rails together e.g. all low voltage digital core balls are the same color (orange) even though there's multiple 0.8 / 0.82 / 0.9V domains there. All IO power (except dedicated PHY rails) is magenta regardless of which bank(s) it's for.

This was glorious, and it is now implemented in SwiftTerm by default.
While it is true that certain users in a dorm at Darmouth or MIT might carry with them the script to tune their color palette, I believe that users in the wild deserve to keep their retinas.

Give it to a solver and measure the time until they realize it's unsolvable.
I'm rewatching Firefly (on Disney ).
The CGI is obviously lacking modern lighting techniques and often feels soft, the compositing has clipped highlights due to the lack of a modern linear and color-managed workflow. But that's to be expected. The show came out more than 20 years ago!
What matters more is the story and its vibe. I remember it as one of the most beloved sci-fi shows back then, in good company with

Once again I wonder "Do the authors/maintainers of LibreOffice actually use it?"
For example, I am here on MacOs (Tahoe) and the buttons in LibreWriter to control Bold, Italic, etc are effectively same-color-on-same-color-background, in other words, unreadable. The only time they are actually visible is when the "Dark" theme is used.
Almost every time I use LibreOffice I am reminded why people pay actual $$ for products like Word/Office365.

PAColorHolo: A Perceptually-Aware Color Management Framework for Holographic Displays

https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.14766 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.14766 https://arxiv.org/html/2601.14766
arXiv:2601.14766v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Holographic displays offer significant potential for augmented and virtual reality applications by reconstructing wavefronts that enable continuous depth cues and natural parallax without vergence-accommodation conflict. However, despite advances in pixel-level image quality, current systems struggle to achieve perceptually accurate color reproduction--an essential component of visual realism. These challenges arise from complex system-level distortions caused by coherent laser illumination, spatial light modulator imperfections, chromatic aberrations, and camera-induced color biases. In this work, we propose a perceptually-aware color management framework for holographic displays that jointly addresses input-output color inconsistencies through color space transformation, adaptive illumination control, and neural network-based perceptual modeling of the camera's color response. We validate the effectiveness of our approach through numerical simulations, optical experiments, and a controlled user study. The results demonstrate substantial improvements in perceptual color fidelity, laying the groundwork for perceptually driven holographic rendering in future systems.

Took a couple of rest days b/c I could feel my hamstring & feared possible injury. After a consideration of time spent in each HR zone over previous runs, it was clear that I was overdoing the pace, even with 4/1 min run/walk intervals. I ~could~ do that pace, but I ~should~ dial it back a bit & build fitness. Anaerobic all the time wasn’t helping.
Cold tonight, just below freezing and 25 mph (40 kph) winds gusting to 50 mph (80.5 kph).

Recently picked up a "ceramic" coated frying pan for the first time and wondering what it's actually made of and how it's put on.
From the color I'm guessing alumina or maybe silica is likely? Sintered powder coating then firing? My first inclination for putting such a layer on something would be CVD but that's probably too expensive for the thicknesses and production volumes in question, but I feel like a sintered powder layer would be too porous.

I see some posts arguing that everything in Minneapolis is just more of the same that people of color have been living with forever, and white people are just waking up to it. I have never once heard that sentiment, however, from a BIPOC person who’s been living •in Minneapolis• for the last two months.
There is a crucial point there: this •is• precedented. It’s all precedented. But it’s not just more of the same.
