Huh. Well, laugh all you want but based on today's news... that sh-t worked like a badass! 😂

We are a stupid species.... Here is my county government trying to create a Rube Goldberg class blockchain based system to deal with a problem that could be solved by printed lists of paper
The crypto/blockchain mindset certainly contains a big element of "if all you have is a hammer then everything looks like a nail".
(By-the-way, our county government is dumb in other dimensions - for year the emergency response command center was in a basement next to, and and *below…

Santa Cruz County quietly abandons blockchain program once touted as bleeding edge
Santa Cruz County has shelved its ambitious blockchain wallet project after two years, citing complexity and low public adoption. Officials now plan to pursue simpler digital tools they say are better suited to resident needs.

Managing Data for Scalable and Interactive Event Sequence Visualization
Parallel event sequences, such as those collected in program execution traces and automated manufacturing pipelines, are typically visualized as interactive parallel timelines. As the dataset size grows, these charts frequently experience lag during common interactions such as zooming, panning, and filtering. Summarization approaches can improve interaction performance, but at the cost of accuracy in representation. To address this challenge, we introduce ESeMan (Event Sequence Manager), an eve…

Learning Gentle Humanoid Locomotion and End-Effector Stabilization Control
Can your humanoid walk up and hand you a full cup of beer, without spilling a drop? While humanoids are increasingly featured in flashy demos like dancing, delivering packages, traversing rough terrain, fine-grained control during locomotion remains a significant challenge. In particular, stabilizing a filled end-effector (EE) while walking is far from solved, due to a fundamental mismatch in task dynamics: locomotion demands slow-timescale, robust control, whereas EE stabilization requires rap…

Ich schlürfe meine Urlaubsaustern ja lieber mit spanischen Omas bei lokaler Blasmusik auf Ausflugsschiffen, aber Maine ist sicher auch nicht schlecht.
