Not linking to it, but why do news outlets keep amplifying “AI” propaganda from companies making chatbots without at the very least some basic vetting?
(No, statistical algorithms on calculators don’t have feelings. Never have, never will.)

This month, the Network Performing Arts Production Workshop (NPAPW) 2025 brought together performing artists, technologists, educators, and students from around the world.
A joint initiative of GÉANT and Internet2, NPAPW25 explored what happens when creativity meets advanced networks.
From history of network-enabled performances to MVTP uses cases, and the distributed concert linking New York & Miami, it was a success.

Some years back my wife made the front page of the Wall St. Journal. They did a piece about how she made up fake data (names, locations, dates, CV, etc) to feed to social media in order to disrupt data linking.

You know what’s worse than linking to a Nazi bar called X on your web site? Linking to it with a cutesy bird icon or labelling it “Twitter” because it makes you feel better about linking to a Nazi bar called X.

I really don't like linking to #X. But here's the video from the upright Democrats (Don't give up), in which they remind the military of their oath and call on them to resist unlawful orders.

I'm looking at a bunch of open clipart icons and some of them have straightforward licenses like CC or public domain.
But others are using more software-oriented licenses like GPL or LGPL. I'm... not entirely sure how that is supposed to work.
If I load a GPL'd icon PNG into my application is that "dynamic linking" in a way that would require my entire application to be GPL? There's no code involved, no symbol manipulation, and the icon isn't compile…

Animals are developing the same chronic diseases as humans
Across the planet, animals are increasingly suffering from chronic illnesses once seen only in humans. Cats, dogs, cows, and even marine life are facing rising rates of cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and obesity — diseases tied to the same factors affecting people: genetics, pollution, poor nutrition, and stress. A new study led by scientists at the Agricultural University of Athens proposes a unified model linking these conditions across species.

The Summerhall complex has been such a focus for linking art and science in #Edinburgh, usually on a shoestring budget, but many thanks due to Robert McDowell et al. since 2011.

US voters linking climate crisis to rising bills despite #Trump’s ‘green scam’ claims:
“It’s a fundamental error to treat these issues as mutually exclusive – climate solutions are also cost-of-living solutions. Most of the elite discourse is very bad at estimating or understanding levels of public concern, and this is a good example of this.”

A breakthrough for solar durability: UNSW researchers discovered that thicker aluminum oxide layers protect TOPCon solar cells from UV damage by blocking hydrogen migration.
The culprit? High-energy UV photons break chemical bonds, releasing hydrogen that degrades performance. But 7nm AlOx layers act as an effective barrier.

Thicker alumunium oxide layers can reduce ultraviolet-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells
UNSW researchers developed an experimentally validated model linking UV-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells to hydrogen transport, charge trapping, and permanent structural changes in the passivation stack. They show that thicker aluminum oxide layers significantly improve UV resilience by limiting hydrogen migration, offering clear guidance for more robust TOPCon designs.

Dimensionality reduction and width of deep neural networks based on topological degree theory

arXiv:2511.06821v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In this paper we present a mathematical framework on linking of embeddings of compact topological spaces into Euclidean spaces and separability of linked embeddings under a specific class of dimension reduction maps. As applications of the established theory, we provide some fascinating insights into classification and approximation problems in deep learning theory in the setting of deep neural networks.

Ok so the first boss fight of the STM32MP2 bringup (getting the A35s running at full speed with caches) is over.
The second isn't going so hot. I've configured all of the documented SYSCFG and COMBOPHY registers (I think). It's not linking up, is in DState 4 whatever that means, and I'm not seeing any change on the tx/rx lines when i do this.
Which means one of two things. Either the register settings I've done are wrong (possible, I'll double check)...
