Selecting Optimal Camera Views for Gait Analysis: A Multi-Metric Assessment of 2D Projections
Objective: To systematically quantify the effect of the camera view (frontal vs. lateral) on the accuracy of 2D markerless gait analysis relative to 3D motion capture ground truth. Methods: Gait data from 18 subjects were recorded simultaneously using frontal, lateral and 3D motion capture systems. Pose estimation used YOLOv8. Four metrics were assessed to evaluate agreement: Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) for temporal alignment, Maximum Cross-Correlation (MCC) for signal similarity, Kullback-Leibl…

MIM-Diode-Like Rectification in Lateral 1T/1H/1T-MoS$_2$ Homojunctions via Interfacial Dipole Engineering
Lateral two-dimensional (2D) tunnel diodes that reproduce metal-insulator-metal (MIM)-diode-like rectification without using dissimilar contacts are attractive for scalable nanoelectronics. MoS$_2$ can exist in both the semiconducting 1H phase and the metallic 1T phase, enabling phase-engineered homojunctions within a single material. First-principles electronic structure and quantum transport calculations show that phase-engineered 1T/1H/1T--MoS$_2$ homojunctions exhibit pronounced MIM-diode-l…

I have massive issues w/ #Newsom, & I do NOT want him to be our President, but this made me literally laugh out loud. & that’s not easily done these days.

Just put a 5.3mm SOIC8 on a quick and dirty test board for the first time in forever.
I needed a SPI flash, it was a one-off, and I've been meaning to get rid of a bunch of W25Q80BV's from circa 2012 that are bulky and too small for a modern FPGA bitstream. And I pretty much always use DFN/QFN/LGA/BGA parts these days, I literally can't remember the last time I used a SOIC.
The footprint is so old that the 3D model path is an absolute path on my old NFS server, before…

Surprising no one, there is no news in major Israeli media about the Israeli made massive starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
The exception to the rule is Haaretz, and, if you want to call it an exception, there is one sickening hasbara article I have read in Channel 12 that I'm not going to link at all saying, literally, that "it is important to note that the responsibility lies with Hamas". It's important to tell this to themselves, apparently.

Optimized adaptive MPC for lateral control of autonomous vehicles
Autonomous vehicles are the upcoming solution to most transportation problems such as safety, comfort and efficiency. The steering control is one of the main important tasks in achieving autonomous driving. Model predictive control (MPC) is among the fittest controllers for this task due to its optimal performance and ability to handle constraints. This paper proposes an adaptive MPC controller (AMPC) for the path tracking task, and an improved PSO algorithm for optimising the AMPC parameters. …

This may be the first #SilentSunday post I've made where I've literally just taken the photo.

My current big picture view:
Politics-wise -- Anti-Black racism is still Americas biggest problem -- only it literally harms EVERYONE ELSE proportionally much more because we're surviving, perhaps even thriving, AROUND it.
