Construction tech startup AIM raises $50M to fuel expansion
The firm that retrofits heavy equipment into autonomous machines, backed by Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst, can help fill the construction industry’s huge labor gap and growing infrastructure demand.

The Marines and National Guard shouldn't be deployed to protests in LA, Texas or anywhere else.
But since they are, the Freedom of the Press Foundation and other press freedom groups wrote a letter to them explaining the basics of journalists' rights when covering demonstrations, and offering their help.

I hope the generals who let this happen go home and think about what they’ve done.

The Silence of the Generals
As President Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line at Fort Bragg, the brass failed to speak out in the Army’s defense.

Quantifying coherence of quantum channels based on the generalized $α$-$z$-relative Rényi entropy
By using the Choi-Jamiołkowski isomorphism, we propose a well-defined coherence measure of quantum channels based on the generalized $α$-$z$-relative Rényi entropy. In addition, we present an alternative coherence measure of quantum channels by quantifying the commutativity between the channels and the completely dephasing channels with the generalized $α$-$z$-relative Rényi entropy. Some elegant properties of the measures are illustrated in detail. Explicit formulas of these coherence mea…

Dobrindt argumentiert die Entscheidung des Gerichts, die Zurückweisung an der Grenze sei illegal gewesen, sei eine Einzelfall­entscheidung und daher nicht generell anwendbar.
Nehmen wir diesen Einwand mal kurz ernst. Einzelfall bedeutet: es gab besondere Umstände. Nun, diese können im vorliegenden Fall kaum extern sein, die aktuelle Bedrohungslage hat sich nicht für diese Menschen spontan geändert, Sonnenstand, aktuelle Stimmungslage der Union etc dürfen keinen Einfluß haben, d.h. der …

Generalist Models in Medical Image Segmentation: A Survey and Performance Comparison with Task-Specific Approaches
Following the successful paradigm shift of large language models, leveraging pre-training on a massive corpus of data and fine-tuning on different downstream tasks, generalist models have made their foray into computer vision. The introduction of Segment Anything Model (SAM) set a milestone on segmentation of natural images, inspiring the design of a multitude of architectures for medical image segmentation. In this survey we offer a comprehensive and in-depth investigation on generalist models…

ConStyX: Content Style Augmentation for Generalizable Medical Image Segmentation
Medical images are usually collected from multiple domains, leading to domain shifts that impair the performance of medical image segmentation models. Domain Generalization (DG) aims to address this issue by training a robust model with strong generalizability. Recently, numerous domain randomization-based DG methods have been proposed. However, these methods suffer from the following limitations: 1) constrained efficiency of domain randomization due to their exclusive dependence on image style…
