sp_infectious: Art exhibit dynamic contacts (2011)
This dataset contains the daily dynamic contact networks collected during the Infectious SocioPatterns event that took place at the Science Gallery in Dublin, Ireland, during the artscience exhibition INFECTIOUS: STAY AWAY. Each file in the downloadable package contains a tab-separated list representing the active contacts during 20-second intervals of one day of data collection. Each line has the form “t i j“, where i and j are the a…

Die Zeit hat eine faszinierende Umfrage gemacht welche einige interessante Thesen aufstellt.

Yesterday I started idly wondering if #clitorises are a human/primate special or if they are more widespread. Turns out they are! Almost all vertebrates have them, except for birds, except except for those bird species where the males have penes. Clitorises have even been found in reptiles like snakes, who have two-parted "hemiclitorises" \o/ But animal clitorises are still quite under…

Learning to Capture Rocks using an Excavator: A Reinforcement Learning Approach with Guiding Reward Formulation
Rock capturing with standard excavator buckets is a challenging task typically requiring the expertise of skilled operators. Unlike soil digging, it involves manipulating large, irregular rocks in unstructured environments where complex contact interactions with granular material make model-based control impractical. Existing autonomous excavation methods focus mainly on continuous media or rely on specialized grippers, limiting their applicability to real-world construction sites. This paper i…

I'm just reviewing - and deleting(!) - a *lot* of video clips from my archive. Everything that I never used for a video or that doesn't bring memories.
But this one made me smile immediately:

I think I'm making progress on the bottom-of-column logic.
I've traced out a bunch, but I don't grok.
There's a bunch of control signals running the full height from bottom to top which makes tracing stuff out a bit painful.
The circuit that I thought was the column mux itself seems straightforward, just eight pass transistors that connect the drain-side bitlines to a common 8-bit bus on metal 2 running the full width of the array.
But then there's…
