For your edification, the most common form factor of floppy disks:
5¼ inch (no metal door thing)
3½ inch (the one the save icon was modeled after)
There were also 8 inch (used before 1980s mainly), and various not very successful 3 inch, 2½ inch and 2 inch formats.
Note that while the form factor might have been the same, a lot of diskettes aren't mutually software compatible between systems.
There's physical sub-formats (e.g. one sided, hard sectors, varying supported densities due to magnetic properties etc.) too.

TFANet: Three-Stage Image-Text Feature Alignment Network for Robust Referring Image Segmentation
Referring Image Segmentation (RIS) is a task that segments image regions based on language expressions, requiring fine-grained alignment between two modalities. However, existing methods often struggle with multimodal misalignment and language semantic loss, especially in complex scenes containing multiple visually similar objects, where uniquely described targets are frequently mislocalized or incompletely segmented. To tackle these challenges, this paper proposes TFANet, a Three-stage Image-T…

Apple unveils new 14‑inch MacBook Pro powered by the M5 chip, delivering the next big leap in AI for the Mac
Apple today unveiled a new 14-inch MacBook Pro, featuring the incredibly powerful M5 chip.

We just got about an inch or so of pea-sized hail in our neighborhood, and just over 1/2 inch of measured precip on my weather station at a rate of just under 2 inch/hour. That counts as a deluge in the high desert where we are in northern Colorado.

Layout-Conditioned Autoregressive Text-to-Image Generation via Structured Masking
While autoregressive (AR) models have demonstrated remarkable success in image generation, extending them to layout-conditioned generation remains challenging due to the sparse nature of layout conditions and the risk of feature entanglement. We present Structured Masking for AR-based Layout-to-Image (SMARLI), a novel framework for layoutto-image generation that effectively integrates spatial layout constraints into AR-based image generation. To equip AR model with layout control, a specially d…
