„This loss of income cannot be explained by women's career paths or their exit from the workforce. Nor can it be explained by the very real constraints imposed by the birth of a child.
Not only do heterosexual men not experience any loss of income related to the birth of a child, which might be explained by mothers still being primarily responsible for childcare, but the same is true for both fathers in a same-sex couple.“

A Rome, des milliers de personnes manifestent contre la loi sur la sécurité du gouvernement ultraconservateur de Giorgia Meloni
Ce décret-loi, adopté début avril par le gouvernement et voté jeudi par la Chambre des députés, protège notamment les forces de l’ordre en cas d’accusations de violences policières, et renforce les peines pour certains délits.

Mehr Kreativität wagen!
„Menopause, Knochenhaushalt, Nährstoffbedarf“. So teasert die Verbraucherzentrale ein Buch für Frauen an.
Doch wenn man draufklickt, steht dort „Menopause, Hormonhaushalt, Knochenbau“ – och, wie langweilig!

Big thanks to the City of #Memphis and Lehman-Roberts for paving my street this week. Kinda fascinating to watch these #machines at work, but I bet the crews get tired of it all really quickly.

Can AI help America make stuff again? 
A British startup, CloudNC, is reshaping American manufacturing one precision part at a time.

Building (or rebuilding) a manufacturing ecosystem - the skilled workforce and complex supply chain - takes time and money. I haven't seen much evidence that this is recognized, or supported, in #47's world, or indeed the "market" (the private investment that will take years to show a return on capital).
Interesting contrast between Foxconn in India:

MonoFusion: Sparse-View 4D Reconstruction via Monocular Fusion
We address the problem of dynamic scene reconstruction from sparse-view videos. Prior work often requires dense multi-view captures with hundreds of calibrated cameras (e.g. Panoptic Studio). Such multi-view setups are prohibitively expensive to build and cannot capture diverse scenes in-the-wild. In contrast, we aim to reconstruct dynamic human behaviors, such as repairing a bike or dancing, from a small set of sparse-view cameras with complete scene coverage (e.g. four equidistant inward-faci…
