The image depicts a man holding a cardboard sign in an urban setting. The sign reads "Stop asking me to enable notifications for your app." The man is the focal point of the image, positioned centrally and facing the viewer, though his gaze is directed slightly to the right. He has light skin, curly brown hair, and is wearing sunglasses. He is dressed in a black long-sleeved shirt. His arms are raised, holding the sign above his head. The background suggests a city street scene. To the left of…

'Too much alignment; not enough culture': Re-balancing cultural alignment practices in LLMs
While cultural alignment has increasingly become a focal point within AI research, current approaches relying predominantly on quantitative benchmarks and simplistic proxies fail to capture the deeply nuanced and context-dependent nature of human cultures. Existing alignment practices typically reduce culture to static demographic categories or superficial cultural facts, thereby sidestepping critical questions about what it truly means to be culturally aligned. This paper argues for a fundamen…

A Real-time Data Collection Approach for 6G AI-native Networks
During the development of the Sixth Generation (6G) networks, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into network systems has become a focal point, leading to the concept of AI-native networks. High quality data is essential for developing such networks. Although some studies have explored data collection and analysis in 6G networks, significant challenges remain, particularly in real-time data acquisition and processing. This paper proposes a comprehensive data collection method that …

Axial resolution post-processing engineering in Fresnel incoherent correlation holography
Fresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH) is a self-interference-based incoherent digital holography method. In FINCH, light from an object point is split into two beams, modulated differently using two lenses with different focal distances, and creates a self-interference hologram. At least three phase-shifted holograms are recorded and synthesized into a complex hologram, which reconstructs the object image without twin image and bias noises. Compared with conventional imaging, FINCH …

A cover from the National Geographics magazine is shown featuring a captivating image of a tiger. The tiger is the dominant focal point of the cover, taking up a significant portion of the frame. The background is a warm brown color, complementing the tiger's black and grey fur. The overall color scheme is earthy and natural, with a pop of mustard yellow as the accent color. The image is not black and white, but rather in full color. The tiger is positioned in the center of the cover, with text…

As a big fan of 1960's era ska, I tend to not care much for the 3rd and 4th wave bands. Mostly because too many of them stray from the horn sound as a focal point 🎷🎺
But there are some really fun contemporary ska-punk-jazz bands that showcase upbeat brass sections. Here's one of my favorite examples.

The image features a close-up of an antique, heavily rusted movie camera mounted on a tripod. The camera is the focal point, taking up the majority of the frame. It has a boxy body with a viewfinder on top and a large lens at the front. The camera's surface is covered in rust, with areas of peeling paint and discoloration, suggesting significant age and exposure to the elements. The tripod is also rusted and appears to be made of the same metal as the camera, with three legs and a mechanism for…

RGB-Only Supervised Camera Parameter Optimization in Dynamic Scenes
Although COLMAP has long remained the predominant method for camera parameter optimization in static scenes, it is constrained by its lengthy runtime and reliance on ground truth (GT) motion masks for application to dynamic scenes. Many efforts attempted to improve it by incorporating more priors as supervision such as GT focal length, motion masks, 3D point clouds, camera poses, and metric depth, which, however, are typically unavailable in casually captured RGB videos. In this paper, we propo…

This photo captures a peaceful rural autumn landscape. The scene features an expansive open field with a mix of green grass and patches of dried, tan-colored grass. A solitary evergreen tree stands prominently in the middle distance, serving as a natural focal point against the rolling terrain. The background reveals a tree line with deciduous trees displaying autumn foliage in shades of orange, yellow, and brown. The sky is overcast with dramatic gray clouds that create a moody atmosphere, w…

Projective Plane Subdivision Method For Initial Orbit Determination
Initial Orbit Determination (IOD) is the classical problem of estimating the orbit of a body in space without any presumed information about the orbit. The geometric formulation of the ''angles-only'' IOD in three-dimensional space: find a conic curve with a given focal point meeting the given lines of sight (LOS). We provide an algebraic reformulation of this problem and confirm that five is the minimal number of lines necessary to have a finite number of solutions in a non-special case, and t…

Extensive Analysis of gamma-Ray Periodicity in Jetted AGN from the 4FGL Catalog Using Fermi-LAT Observations
The quest to uncover periodic patterns within the $γ$-ray emissions of jetted active galactic nuclei (AGN) has recently emerged as a focal point in astrophysics. One of the primary challenges has been the necessity for prolonged exposures in the $γ$-ray energy band. In our investigation, we leverage 12 years' worth of observations from the \textit{Fermi}-LAT to systematically explore periodicity across 1492 jetted AGN cataloged in 4FGL, representing the largest sample analyzed to date. Our an…

In-flight performance of the IXPE telescopes
We present a comprehensive characterization of the on-orbit imaging performance of the three telescopes on board the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). Each telescope comprises a Wolter-I mirror module assembly and a Gas Pixel Detector focal-plane detector unit (DU). We analyze data from point-like X-ray sources and fit a composite point spread function (PSF) model that we compare with ground calibrations. We study the dependence of the PSF parameters and of the angular resolution, in t…

Good Morning #Canada
Happy #Thanksgiving to all Canadians, but in particular to the volunteers and visitors at Canada’s 5,500 #FoodBanks. Thanksgiving serves as an important focal point for food drives in an effort to provide meals for those less fortunate, as well as create long-term awareness of the role that Food Banks fill. Canadians are visiting Food Banks at record levels, some 4M visits so far in 2025, and 47% of those have children at home. It's not too late to donate to your local Food Bank, but please also consider a cash donation in the future to help them fill in the gaps in supply from farmers, producers, and retailers.
