I had no idea that seeing institutions like the family and marriage as authoritarian was actually a core anarchist principle for thinkers like Rudolf Rocker.
Realizing this now, it’s striking how my own instincts since my early childhood have always lined up with anarchism’s rejection of all forms of social coercion and imposed authority, even in the most intimate parts of life.
Guess that’s another layer peeled back, the more you learn, the clearer it gets.

Speaking of "Adhesiveness" in 1960 David Hockney made a painting titled Adhesiveness. Which arguably depicts Walt Whitman fucking David Hockney, the labels 23 23 and 4 8 being a basic numeric code. Along with We Two Boys Together Clinging these two early works are Hockney referencing Whitman and being explicit about being gay. More info in this article and this one.

Finished 1923 this week. Doesn't have the elŠn of Yellowstone/1883, esp when it comes to dialogue, but was a very solid ride nonetheless. My favorite thing is how they brought the era to life.
You don't have to have watched anything else to get it, but the other stories fill in context.
That said, I'd start with 1883, to this, to Yellowstone if I was new to it.

1923
Follow a new generation of the Dutton family during the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home.

Self-driving technologies need the help of the public: A narrative review of the evidence
If public trust is lot in a new technology early in its life cycle it can take much more time for the benefits of that technology to be realised. Eventually tens-of-millions of people will collectively have the power to determine self-driving technology success of failure driven by their perception of risk, data handling, safety, governance, accountability, benefits to their life and more. This paper reviews the evidence on safety critical technology covering trust, engagement, and acceptance. …

Hybrid Ensemble of Segmentation-Assisted Classification and GBDT for Skin Cancer Detection with Engineered Metadata and Synthetic Lesions from ISIC 2024 Non-Dermoscopic 3D-TBP Images

Hybrid Ensemble of Segmentation-Assisted Classification and GBDT for Skin Cancer Detection with Engineered Metadata and Synthetic Lesions from ISIC 2024 Non-Dermoscopic 3D-TBP Images
Skin cancer is among the most prevalent and life-threatening diseases worldwide, with early detection being critical to patient outcomes. This work presents a hybrid machine and deep learning-based approach for classifying malignant and benign skin lesions using the SLICE-3D dataset from ISIC 2024, which comprises 401,059 cropped lesion images extracted from 3D Total Body Photography (TBP), emulating non-dermoscopic, smartphone-like conditions. Our method combines vision transformers (EVA02) an…

Convergent transcriptomic and neuroimaging signature of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a multi-factorial neurodevelopmental disorder, whose causes are still poorly understood. Effective therapies to reduce all the heterogeneous symptoms of the disorder do not exists yet, but behavioural programs started at a very young age may improve the quality of life of the patients. For this reason, many efforts have been dedicated to the research of a reliable biomarker for early diagnosis. Machine learning approaches to distinguish ASDs from healthy contro…

Assessing innovation in the nascent value chains of climate-mitigating technologies
Accelerating climate-tech innovation in the formative stage of the technology life cycle is crucial to meeting climate policy goals. During this period, competing technologies are often undergoing major technical improvements within a nascent value chain. We analyze this formative stage for 14 climate-tech sectors using a dataset of 4,172 North American firms receiving 12,929 early-stage private investments between 2006 and 2021. Investments in these firms reveal that commercialization occurs i…
