Assisting the Last Mile with Smart Glasses: Towards User-Centric LLM Prompt Engineering for Visually Impaired People
The independent mobility of visually impaired people remains limited, particularly on the so-called last mile. Obstacles, a lack of guidance systems, and the absence of visual information make it difficult to navigate public spaces. Existing aids such as white canes...

I spent last week on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, and it really exceeded my expectations. Winter is supposed to be a good time to see wildlife and I was not disappointed. Among the many highlights was visiting a sea lion colony that is thought to house about 8% of the entire population of this endangered species. And since this is the Fediverse I should say that their reputation for making bad faith arguments in comment threads is totally undeserved.

Abstract: Using integral field spectroscopy, we explore the disk-halo interface, or the inner circumgalactic medium (CGM), of individual galaxies by constructing and analyzing emission-line maps for a large sample (72) of normal, low-redshift galaxies spanning three orders of magnitude in stellar mass and four orders in star formation rate (SFR). We find a steep turnover occurring at $(1-2) R_e$ in the H$\alpha$, [O {\small II}], and [O {\small III}] line emission radial profiles. Beyond this radius, the slope of the line emission radial profiles becomes shallower as the SFR of the central galaxy decreases, which might reflect the strength of the feedback processes. The line emission fluxes at large radius ($(5-10) R_e$ or $\sim (0.1-0.25)r_{\rm vir}$) correlate with the galaxy's SFR, but not with its stellar mass. These findings suggest that ionizing photons escaping from star-forming regions in the central galaxy account for the observed emission line fluxes from the inner CGM, with escape fractions inferred from the [O {\small III}] and [O {\small II}] ratio. Different state-of-the-art theoretical models do not agree on the predicted dependence of cool gas on the SFR of the central galaxies, highlighting the importance of CGM emission line measurements to distinguish between different subgrid models for star formation and feedback processes.

This month's Papers Club reading is titled
Textiling World Politics: Towards an extended epistemology, methodology, and ontology
and we are inviting Toronto's makers, scholars, and thinkers of every stripe to come join the discussion. We are extending special invitations to fiber artists - that includes knitting, crochet, weaving, fashion design etc. So if you know a fiber artist friend, please forward them this message :)
Thank you, hope to see you on July 27th!

Since the day she began her campaign for Congress,
Paige Cognetti, the Democratic mayor of Scranton,
has centered her pitch to voters on the prodigious stock tradingof the House Republican she is seeking to unseat,
Representative Rob Bresnahan Jr. of Pennsylvania.
“This year he’s already made 600 trades,” Ms. Cognetti said in the announcement video for her campaign in September.
“Sold Chinese stocks the week of a tariff.

Stock Trading in Congress Becomes an Attack Line in Midterm Campaigns
Republican and Democratic challengers are both using the issue to attack members of Congress as unethical, seizing on a common practice that enrages voters.
