FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A close-up black-and-white image shows a weathered padlock securing two metal doors. The padlock is rusted and scratched, locked through thick metal loops. Two wires or cords are also threaded through the shackle, adding extra security or possibly serving another purpose. The background is blurred, suggesting an outdoor setting with faint outlines of buildings and vegetation. The image evokes a sense of age, security, and quiet tension, with the padlock…
FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo captures a solitary pedestrian mid-stride on a gently curving paved road. The person wears a dark shirt and shorts, walking toward the left side of the frame. To the right of the road is a sidewalk marked with a bicycle symbol, indicating a designated bike lane. The background features a rocky embankment with sparse vegetation and a few small trees. The sky is overcast, casting a soft, diffused light that enhances the quiet, cont…
FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome photo shows a long, tall concrete wall running parallel to a paved sidewalk. A person walks alone in the distance, dwarfed by the imposing structure. The wall has a railing on top, with some plants hanging over. Behind the wall, a tall communication tower rises into the sky. The perspective emphasizes depth and scale, creating a feeling of isolation and urban quiet. The scene is stark and minimal, with strong lines guiding the viewer’s eye.…
FUJIFILM NEOPAN F (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white image shows a wide set of stone steps leading to a modern building with tall columns. Several people walk up and down the steps, some alone, others in groups. The building’s facade is smooth and contemporary, suggesting a public or cultural space like a museum. The handrails frame the steps, and the composition captures movement and structure. The monochrome palette adds a timeless, documentary feel, focusing on human activity in an ur…

Long-term independent use of an intracortical brain-computer interface for speech and cursor control
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can provide naturalistic communication and digital access to people with severe paralysis by decoding neural activity associated with attempted speech and movement. Recent work has demonstrated highly accurate intracortical BCIs for speech and cursor control, but two critical capabilities needed for practical viability were unmet: independent at-home operation without researcher assistance, and reliable long-term performance supporting accurate speech and cursor…

“A majority of the country now knows that he’s the old man behind the curtain and not the wizard,” he said. “He still has control over Maga and Republicans in Congress but he doesn’t have the persuasive capacity any longer to keep his hold on the broad majority of the country.
“This is a sign of his weakness and that he’s not as strong as he believes he is. It’s one of the reasons why he’s looking for these avenues to re-establish his strength and power and have there be a perception that people are bending the knee.
“Every time he tries to do this, it fails and he grows more distant to the American people. That has to give us hope we have the tools in the coming months to start winning elections and building a more successful pro-democracy movement that can contain the damage that Trump and Maga are doing to the country in the coming years.”

The Federal Communications Commission approved the $8 billion merger between Paramount and Skydance on Thursday -- after several changes at CBS that were widely seen as efforts to placate Donald Trump.
Part of the deal will require an internal monitor to check the media company’s supposed political biases.
FCC commissioner Brendan Carr has been doing the rounds to brag about how he’s getting people on TV to be nicer to the MAGA movement.
“They made commitments to address bia…

LeoTCP: Low-Latency and High-Throughput Data Transport for LEO Satellite Networks
Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks consist of thousands of satellites orbiting the Earth, enabling low-latency and high-throughput communications across the globe. Such networks present unprecedented challenges due to their dynamic nature, which state-of-the-art data transport protocols do not address. These challenges include: (1) non-congestive latency variation and loss, caused by continuous satellite movement and fluctuating link quality due to weather effects; (2) transient hotspots …
