Belated #MonochromeMonday / #MountainMonday: A moody winter day in the Ammergau Alps. A view down the snowed-in river bed of the Linder with the Notkarspitze summit catching the last light in the distance...

B&W photo of a moody winter landscape with dense forest on both sides of an empty snowed-in riverbed leading into the distance. Large mountains in the background, with one of the summits catching the last light. The mountains closer are all cut off by low hanging dark clouds descending into the valley.

I feel the need to stress, even though it should go without saying, that the person who was kidnapped out of their car was not obstructing or interfering. They were doing nothing illegal, and nothing wrong. They were part of a caravan following ICE at a safe distance, driving legally, not even stopping their crimes, not even slowing them down — just making sure their crimes were recorded.

A [golf] ball sliced or hooked into the rough shall be lifted and placed in
the fairway at a point equal to the distance it carried or rolled into the
rough. Such veering right or left frequently results from friction between
the face of the club and the cover of the ball and the player should not be

Here's a radical transport idea...
For every two lane road, turn one lane into a segregated two lane cycle route, and make the other one a contraflow motor vehicle lane.
Watch many car drivers switch to cycling, and RTAs drop. Short distance travel times will be reduced for many.
And I say all this as both a car driver and a cycle rider.

Spatially-informed transformers: Injecting geostatistical covariance biases into self-attention for spatio-temporal forecasting
Yuri Calleo
arxiv.org/abs/2512.17696 arxiv.org/pdf/2512.17696 arxiv.org/html/2512.17696
arXiv:2512.17696v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The modeling of high-dimensional spatio-temporal processes presents a fundamental dichotomy between the probabilistic rigor of classical geostatistics and the flexible, high-capacity representations of deep learning. While Gaussian processes offer theoretical consistency and exact uncertainty quantification, their prohibitive computational scaling renders them impractical for massive sensor networks. Conversely, modern transformer architectures excel at sequence modeling but inherently lack a geometric inductive bias, treating spatial sensors as permutation-invariant tokens without a native understanding of distance. In this work, we propose a spatially-informed transformer, a hybrid architecture that injects a geostatistical inductive bias directly into the self-attention mechanism via a learnable covariance kernel. By formally decomposing the attention structure into a stationary physical prior and a non-stationary data-driven residual, we impose a soft topological constraint that favors spatially proximal interactions while retaining the capacity to model complex dynamics. We demonstrate the phenomenon of ``Deep Variography'', where the network successfully recovers the true spatial decay parameters of the underlying process end-to-end via backpropagation. Extensive experiments on synthetic Gaussian random fields and real-world traffic benchmarks confirm that our method outperforms state-of-the-art graph neural networks. Furthermore, rigorous statistical validation confirms that the proposed method delivers not only superior predictive accuracy but also well-calibrated probabilistic forecasts, effectively bridging the gap between physics-aware modeling and data-driven learning.

Kortom wij liggen volgens Trump in de invloedssfeer van Putin.

#SafeStreets

A manhattan street corner at night. It's fairly dark (what's up w/ the lack of lights??), but along the border of the sidewalk are some metal bollards that are rectangles on one side, and 5 sides on the other (one sloped side that you can lean on) on the other. They're spaced about 3ft apart, and they're probably 15" wide. One bollard basically divides the sidewalk in half.
Another angle of the bollards, this time taken FROM the street corner towards the end of the block. The bollards extend the entire length of the block, at least 30 metal bollards visible but you can't really see how many more go down due to distance and people walking on the sidewalk. The vertical side of the bollards face out towards the street, and then 45deg angled side faces towards the building.
Another shot taken from the street corner, this time facing the street and crosswalk. One bollard sits in the middle of the curb ramp top landing, which is absolutely an ADA violation. The ramp tactile mat also faces out towards the middle of the intersection rather than facing the crosswalks, but again - fuck disabled people, amirite?

But at least the bollards are nice!

Morning hike in the Lechtal Alps (October 2024)
We seemingly had the valley all to ourselves, for the first few hours the valley floor still mostly frozen with crunchy hoarfrost until the sun was high enough in the sky. The cirque at the end of the valley already completely in deep winter. These transitions (often within just a few minutes) are so magical and unique to mountain regions...

The light from the lamp illuminates the immediate area, creating a striking contrast between the bright foreground and the shadowy, snow-covered field that stretches out into the distance.

When overwhelm lasts longer than we can process it, we adapt by feeling less. We function but don't fully inhabit our days.

Sunday: 2°C outside (felt like -1) and figured it was a good time for a hike in the woods, hills, and fields of #Bavaria on a trail I've been eyeing for a couple of years now. Muddy trails for about half the distance but easily negotiated.🚶‍♂️🌲
Would've liked if the walk was longer but 10.7kms felt good, especially after a 2-month break in any such activity.

The Ruby ecosystem is going through some pretty hefty turmoil in an attempt to rescue and restore the integrity of their community.
I’m even seeing some good efforts in PHP-land to better distance itself from the vacuum of stable leadership in WordPress too.
Is there any such movement in JavaScript (the same problems exist)? The biggest pattern I’m seeing is a *huge* centralization in project funding!

My plans to hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing were derailed by two days of rain and high winds, so we made a plan B: the Tama lakes track, which has somewhat less exposure but still gets up over 1400m. We’re lucky we didn’t try Tongariro given how tough the conditions were at Tama lakes – driving snow and winds on the ridge. But we were rewarded with good views and improving weather on the return trip. #hiking

Cold front arrives late tonight and the wind was certainly keen to hasten its arrival. Spitting rain at times, but happily any serious downpour never arrived.
Ran a quiet, pensive 7.5 km on the HS track. Heart ❤️ and lungs 🫁 felt great, but legs 🦵 were less willing. In all, the 4/1 run/walk intervals are helping. I look forward to being further along, but in the interim I can feel progress.
7.51 km in 59:30 for an average pace of 7:55/km.

The exported statistics from my run: 604 active calories burned and a distance of 7.51 kilometers.

As several replies have noted, Hilton‘s national leadership is trying to distance themselves from the whole thing — “We welcome everyone! Please don’t come at us!” — and are making it clear this was a local decision.
The problem is that now Hilton is in the spotlight, and if they force the local Hilton to let ICE back in, they’ll put themselves smack in the middle of a national firestorm (like the one Target still hasn’t recovered from…or worse).

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).

A chart of my run. It shows a track of which I did many laps. Distance 7.53 km of which I burned 597 cal. My time (not pictured) was 1:03:02, which is an average pace of 8:22/km.
The lanes of the track curve to the right towards the backstretch. There is a fence with woods beyond. Inside the track is a grass practice field, the warm weather grasses a dormant tan color.
From the same spot at the end. It’s now pitch black outside. The high school building can be seen, sprawling out in every direction, lit by streetlights. Above, possibly, you might see the constellation Orion.

A black-and-white photo of a traditional Chinese guardian lion statue, partially hidden by dense foliage. The lion is carved from stone with a curly mane, fierce eyes, and a poised stance, symbolizing protection. Behind it, a wall covered in ivy adds a sense of age and tranquility. The interplay of nature and sculpture evokes serenity and cultural reverence.

Only one way to go here, always forward... just as in life!
(This is the equally stunning & adventurous ridge between Feigenkopf and Große Klammspitze, the summit ahead, almost touching the clouds — if you zoom in, you can just about make out the summit cross... One of my fave hikes ever. Picture is from early May 2022)
#SilentSunday

B&W photo of a very craggy ridge leading towards multiple peaks in the distance, with snow fields going down on the steep slopes on the left and more grassy slopes on the right. Parts of the forested neighboring valleys are visible in the distance. The main summit (Klammspitze) seems to almost touch the low hanging clouds whose shadows are also creating an interesting lighting, with only some parts of the ridge in bright sun...

The middle segment of this elevator bridge between Portsmouth, NY and Kittery, ME goes up and down to let ships through, something I saw many times when I was growing up in the region but didn't get to see on my latest trip
#photo #photography

A bridge has a low-slung deck over the water with two tall towers in the center under a blue sky with just a few white clouds in the distance.

My take for #silentSunday . Seen yesterday from the summit that I was #hiking to. I had to zoom in quite a bit to capture this distant scene.
Whenever I see a trailrunner passing me with his ultralight / small backpack, I'm wondering why I'm carrying that heavy gear up those mounta…

A sea of soft, billowing clouds stretches out beneath a dramatic mountain landscape, their fluffy white peaks gently undulating like waves. The mountains rise majestically from the cloud cover, their rugged silhouettes softened by the misty atmosphere. Layer upon layer of forested ridges and peaks fade into the distance, creating a sense of depth and scale that feels almost infinite.

The scene is serene and ethereal, with the clouds obscuring the lower slopes and adding an air of mystery to th…

Crossing over, near Rossgundscharte.
(Picture from June 2025. Ahead lies the upper end of Rappenalptal, Germany's southernmost valley, and the Lechtal Alps in Tyrol further in the distance)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

Black and white wide-format view of a narrow footpath near a mountain pass, going past a steep craggy cliff, before dropping a few hundred meters down (out of view). Far views into the mountains on the opposite side of the valley and beyond. An ancient gigantic side moraine on the opposite side of the valley... Semi cloudy sky.
