Eveybody in the comments is just talking about Jeff Goldblum, and OK, he's quite good and a hell of a showman and all. But I'm here mostly for the SICK sax player. Beautiful stuff.

Dynamical Multimodal Fusion with Mixture-of-Experts for Localizations
Multimodal fingerprinting is a crucial technique to sub-meter 6G integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) localization, but two hurdles block deployment: (i) the contribution each modality makes to the target position varies with the operating conditions such as carrier frequency, and (ii) spatial and fingerprint ambiguities markedly undermine localization accuracy, especially in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios. To solve these problems, we introduce SCADF-MoE, a spatial-context aware dyn…

Sir Jon Cunliffe's report into the water sector in England and Wales makes 88 recommendations - including making water meters mandatory.

It is surprising, but some Magas really seem to have a small sense of ethics and really want to advance the country and not the cult (although the exact arguments/means are still disputable).

Der #Klimawandel mischt sich jetzt ins #Kulturleben ein.
Die Steve Miller Band sagt ihre für den Sommer und Herbst geplante US-Tour mit 31 Konzerten ab. Grund seien zunehmende Risiken durch #Extremwetter

Trump team mulls suspending habeas corpus to speed deportations. Can it?
Top White House aide Stephen Miller says the Trump administration is looking for ways to expand its legal power to deport migrants who are in the United States illegally. To achieve that, he says President Donald Trump’s team is “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus, the constitutional right for people to legally challenge their detention by the government. Such a move would be aimed at migrants as part of the Republican president’s broader crackdown at the U.S.-Mexico border. …

Went to see a Hoopla improv show at The Bell, a mix of half a dozen different groups doing different thin
gs. "Shuffle improv" were basing their scenes on a shuffled playlist built by the audience on the way in
and an interesting format from a improv-as-a-second-language group chatting about their experiences in a
foreign land and basing their scenes off it. The group called "twelve people" only had six but were good
chaotic fun.
Lots of stuff about cooking and food.
I found myself pondering optimum size for an improve group. In general the larger groups seemed more fun to me, with the exception of three-person "burn the script" who did excellent work. More than eight wouldn't fit in the tiny stage at that venue. In rehearsal I like to have the group split in half and perform for each other. Hard to do that with fewer than six. Still up in the air if our group will get off the ground or not. More people does mean more calendar clashes even if it makes for a cheaper-per-person room hire.
Everyone has instagram pages, which are no use to me. Won't link or visit there. Interesting that nobody has a Twitter profile any more and of course nobody seems to have just a damned website which still strikes me as madness. Imagine not wanting to own your own space on the web?
