The #DZA in a nutshell slide by Günther #Hasinger shown at #ag2025goerlitz in full resolution (thanks for sending it). Pictures from side events of the meeting to follow later ... as I'm already in the next one - https://www.fhsev.de/Wolfschmidt/events/akag-goerlitz-2025.php - to be followed by a short vaction near Oybin.

Stochastic urban planning for housing: Reduce regulations with no provision to provide housing supporting the mix of incomes in California.
After all, in our system, return on capital plays no role in determining what price developers demand for building./s

For some reason, the #FamilyHousingPlan in the new RTO-C zoning, doesn't appear to permit the sort of live work spaces discussed here.

Now this is really cool!
Not just the 3d effects (actually 4d as the #drones are moving) but also the #technology with drones recharging on the fly.

How 3,000 drones recreated Michelangelo’s masterpieces above the Vatican
The lightweight tech is custom-made, with drones swapping in and out seamlessly to create halos of light—and the hand of God.

Optical Interferometric Readout of a Magnetically Levitated Superconducting Microsphere
We probe the motion of a 6 $μg$ magnetically levitated superconducting microsphere using optical interferometry at 3 K, achieving a resolution better than 1 $nm/ \sqrt{Hz}$, and use the measured signal to feedback-cool its motion. The resolution exceeds the shot-noise limit of 11 $pm/ \sqrt{Hz}$ primarily due to technical noise arising from the roughness of the particle. Combined with established techniques of cavity optomechanics, the high degree of isolation from environmental noise afforded…

Toward AI Matching Policies in Homeless Services: A Qualitative Study with Policymakers
Artificial intelligence researchers have proposed various data-driven algorithms to improve the processes that match individuals experiencing homelessness to scarce housing resources. It remains unclear whether and how these algorithms are received or adopted by practitioners and what their corresponding consequences are. Through semi-structured interviews with 13 policymakers in homeless services in Los Angeles, we investigate whether such change-makers are open to the idea of integrating AI i…
