An AI Pendant that records everything you do throughout the day. From Meta. Is there any company that is more despised for its user tracking? I'm sure it will fly off the shelves... /s

Meta is reportedly working on an AI pendant and more smart glasses - Engadget
The company is hoping to sell 10 million wearables in the second half of 2026, according to 'The Information.

Sonnet 126 - CXXVI
O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power
Dost hold Time's fickle glass, his sickle, hour;
Who hast by waning grown, and therein showest
Thy lovers withering, as thy sweet self growest.
If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack,
As thou goest onwards still will pluck thee back,
She keeps thee to this purpose, that her skill
May time disgrace and wretched minutes kill.
Yet fear her, O thou minion of her pleasure!

Any government which passes this law has ceased to be a #Labour government. It has become a #Fascist government.
Let us all hope that #Burnham will personally vote against it today.

New Marquette Law School national survey finds high approval of Iran cease-fire, low support for the war, and few who think U.S. goals have been achieved (Charles Franklin/Homepage)

Finished reading "Seasons of Glass and Iron" by Amal El-Mohtar.
A short story collection — fairy tales, fantasy, and poems centering women's resilience and identity, gathered from years of El-Mohtar's commissioned work.
"John Hollowback and the Witch" is a delightful slow burn: a man guilty of wronging women, yet innocent in having no memory of it. "The Truth About Owls" handles displacement better than most novels.
4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Abstract: Large-scale neuroscience is generating rich datasets across animals, brain areas and behavioral contexts, yet our modeling efforts remains fragmented across isolated experiments. We argue that understanding behavior requires integrative neurocybernetic models: understandable dynamical models that capture the closed-loop coupling of brain, body and environment, treat the brain as a controller pursuing latent objectives, represent structured variation across scales, and scale to heterogeneous datasets. Such models shift the goal from predicting neural recordings in isolation to inferring the organizing principles that govern neural and behavioral dynamics. We outline a practical route toward this goal by combining nonlinear state-space models and meta-dynamical extensions with scalable inference, knowledge distillation, mixed open- and closed-loop training, and connectomics-informed architectures. By pooling complementary constraints from recordings, behavior, perturbations and anatomy, integrative neurocybernetic models can provide statistical amplification, few-shot generalization, and mechanistic insight into shared dynamical structure, individual variation, and the control objectives that govern behavior. This agenda offers a model-centric path from fragmented data to a mechanistic science of how brains produce behavior.

No entiendo cual es el problema de la gente a la que no le gustó Mario Galaxy. Yo salí completamente satisfecho. Es una película muy entretenida para niños y adultos con un fan service brutal. No encuentro que esté tan lejos de la primera.

Apparently today is #ShowYourStripes day.
If there are still people unaware that #ClimateChange is happening... maybe we can get them up to speed by sharing our stripes.
If some who are aware it's happening think it's already "too late"... maybe we can tell them that ac…

Morgen soll Cem Özdemir in Stuttgart zum Ministerpräsidenten gewählt werden. Rückblende in einen Wahlkampf, der eigentlich unmöglich zu gewinnen war:

Grüne starten in Landtagswahlkampf: Zuschnitt auf Polit-Promi Özdemir und Wirtschaft im Fokus
Zum Wahlkampfauftakt der Grünen in Baden-Württemberg gilt: Cem Özdemir ist das Programm. Überzeugen will er vor allem mit dem Thema Wirtschaft.
