Wie ins Meer pinkeln: KI vergiften helfe nicht
Der Versuch, Daten zu vergiften, helfe so wenig, wie ins Meer zu pinkeln – es bleibe ein Meer. Das sagt der Anbieter einer Schutz-Software.

Crikey, just (finally) nailed the 'family photo gallery in a frame' functionality for my mum (with failing memory, in an assisted living situation) across the world. Can control it from here in Aotearoa (via screen share or ssh) with the extraordinarily handy 'RaspberryPi Connect' functionality. The key technologies are:
- Firefox (in kiosk mode),
- Immich (

Here’s a mind-blowing experiment that you can try at home:
Gather some children’s blocks and place them on a table.
Take one block and slowly push it over the table’s edge, inch by inch, until it’s on the brink of falling.
If you possess patience and a steady hand, you should be able to balance it so that exactly half of it hangs off the edge.
Nudge it any farther, and gravity wins.
Now take two blocks and start over.
Stacking one on top of the other, how…

This Block-Stacking Math Problem Has a Preposterous Solution You Need to See to Believe — Scientific American
In principle, this impossible math allows for a glue-free bridge of stacked blocks that can stretch across the Grand Canyon—and into infinity Amanda Montañez Math Here’s a mind-blowing experiment that you can try at home: Gather some children’s blocks and place them on a table. Take one block and slowly push it over the table’s edge, inch by inch, until it’s on the brink of falling.

Efficacy of Image Similarity as a Metric for Augmenting Small Dataset Retinal Image Segmentation
Synthetic images are an option for augmenting limited medical imaging datasets to improve the performance of various machine learning models. A common metric for evaluating synthetic image quality is the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) which measures the similarity of two image datasets. In this study we evaluate the relationship between this metric and the improvement which synthetic images, generated by a Progressively Growing Generative Adversarial Network (PGGAN), grant when augmenting Di…

Today, a year ago, I ventured on a dream trip I'd been researching for a long time, and which ended up being a semi-religious experience, being immersed in (and somewhat overwhelmed by) an actively changing environment, the upheaval and plethora of geological features, structures, unreal colors, layers, textures and the "wounds" exposed by the melting and disappearing glaciers... Countless waterfalls, stunning erosion features, later traversing the glacier ga…
