Replaced the garbage #disposal last night. It's one of those jobs like redoing the guts of a toilet; seemed intimidating but it was far easier than I expected. (Replacing with the same model helps.) #insinkerator #diy

Het doel is duidelijk: heel Gaza moet onleefbaar gemaakt worden. Hoe beter dat lukt, hoe makkelijker de etnische zuivering.

Slow progress the last couple days because I've been going into the office for work and the commute is eating up my time I'd otherwise spend on such things.
But now it's the weekend and the switch engine board is coming together nicely.
Still have 514 nets to route - mostly the supervisor, line card management buses, and power supply but also some other odds and ends like the FPGA JTAG and part of the SPI flash.
Also I have to get the tach/PWM signals from the m…

Yeah, I don't know about this. I think they'd be better off making an animated movie in the style of edge runners or even spiderverse.

Here’s The Rather Absurd ‘Street Fighter’ Movie Cast List Right Now
You may not even realize this is happening, but there is a new Street Fighter movie in the works, and it's cast is insane.

US political contradictions; knowledge systems
As Trump at least partially succeeds in constructing an alternate reality for his most ardent followers, it's tempting to think of his dogma as false, in contrast to some imagined "truth" which his non-followers are smart enough to believe in. But a more nuanced view of knowledge would admit that different groups of people have different shared truths, constituting different knowledge systems which each deviate from what's objectively measurable in different ways, and in fact they each accept different standards of what is objective, so there's not really a single "ground truth" we can even compare to to determine which of these knowledge systems is "more correct" (similar problems arise even if we only care about "more useful").
To make this more concrete, we can see that e.g., competing quantum physics theories, or likewise competing religious beliefs, have no reasonable basis on which to judge between them, either in terms of "truth" or "utility." So the Trump-dogma knowledge system, although bad, morally repugnant, etc., can't so easily be dismissed as "false" in my view. "Distorted" or "malignant" or "evil" or "contradictory" are better monikers, in my opinion.
But what I'm even more interested in thinking about is: in what ways does the current American liberal "common sense" knowledge system already bear the scars of past fascist lies & contradictions? I can think of a few:
"Columbus was an explorer."
This is "factually accurate" in the same way some of Trump's propaganda is, but it's also a cruel distortion of "Columbus was a child murderer," and it's a misrepresentation that serves an evil purpose, yet which is widely taught in elementary schools today.
Another: "dropping atomic bombs on civilians in Japan was necessary to end WWII."
Perhaps in the future we'll have "family separation & the 2025 ICE crackdowns were necessary to end the immigration crisis," although I dearly hope not.
"Reparations for slavery aren't reasonable," is yet another...
I'll close this rambling with a question: what other fascist lies have you noticed that are normalized in America right now from past Trump-like leaders (or even from less overtly fascist institutions)?

A Poisson-Guided Decomposition Network for Extreme Low-Light Image Enhancement
Low-light image denoising and enhancement are challenging, especially when traditional noise assumptions, such as Gaussian noise, do not hold in majority. In many real-world scenarios, such as low-light imaging, noise is signal-dependent and is better represented as Poisson noise. In this work, we address the problem of denoising images degraded by Poisson noise under extreme low-light conditions. We introduce a light-weight deep learning-based method that integrates Retinex based decomposition…

MIT: Imaging-System lässt Roboter in verschlossene Boxen gucken
Roboter sollen auch solche Objekte "sehen" können, die verborgen sind. Das klappt mit Millimeterwellen, die von solchen Objekten reflektiert werden.
