Humor in Pixels: Benchmarking Large Multimodal Models Understanding of Online Comics
Understanding humor is a core aspect of social intelligence, yet it remains a significant challenge for Large Multimodal Models (LMMs). We introduce PixelHumor, a benchmark dataset of 2,800 annotated multi-panel comics designed to evaluate LMMs' ability to interpret multimodal humor and recognize narrative sequences. Experiments with state-of-the-art LMMs reveal substantial gaps: for instance, top models achieve only 61% accuracy in panel sequencing, far below human performance. This underscore…

FinSentLLM: Multi-LLM and Structured Semantic Signals for Enhanced Financial Sentiment Forecasting
Financial sentiment analysis (FSA) has attracted significant attention, and recent studies increasingly explore large language models (LLMs) for this field. Yet most work evaluates only classification metrics, leaving unclear whether sentiment signals align with market behavior. We propose FinSentLLM, a lightweight multi-LLM framework that integrates an expert panel of sentiment forecasting LLMs, and structured semantic financial signals via a compact meta-classifier. This design captures exper…

Kentmere Kentmere PAN 400 (FF) English Alt Text: A clean, modern subway station platform with glass barriers separating passengers from the tracks. People stand or sit near the glass, waiting for the train. Overhead, striped ceiling panels with embedded lights stretch across the space. Hanging signs display information in Chinese characters. The floor is tiled with tactile paving for visually impaired navigation. Cylindrical columns support the structure, and the overall atmosphere is orderly …

In the background, multiple elevated roads crisscross above, supported by large concrete pillars. A bus and other vehicles are visible on the upper level. Another pedestrian walks across the street. The image emphasizes urban infrastructure and human movement. 中文替代文字： 一名行人站在人行横道前，身穿格子衬衫、花纹裤子，背着背包。…
Kentmere Kentmere PAN 400 (FF) English Alt Text: Two modern buildings in a public plaza. The left building has a sign reading “INSIDE-OUT ART MUSEUM” and a facade of rectangular panels with a wavy diagonal pattern. A child plays nearby. The right building is simpler, with a bulletin board displaying posters. The ground is paved, and the sky is overcast, adding to the monochrome tone. The scene evokes quiet contemplation in an urban cultural space. 中文替代文字： 公共广场上的两座现代建筑。左侧建筑标有“INSIDE-OUT ART MU…

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo showing a dense web of barbed wire in the foreground, tangled and chaotic. Behind it, modern high-rise buildings with clean lines and geometric shapes rise into the sky. The contrast between the sharp, twisted wire and the orderly architecture evokes themes of confinement versus freedom, or security versus openness. The wire dominates the lower half of the image, while the buildings loom in the background, partially obscured. …
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo of a construction site featuring a tall tower crane with a long boom extending upward and a hook hanging from its end. In the foreground, a streetlight with four lamps arranged in a cross pattern stands prominently, providing a sense of scale. The sky is overcast, casting a muted tone across the scene. On the right side, part of a leafy tree is visible, adding a natural element to the otherwise industrial setting. The crane do…
Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo of an urban outdoor setting, possibly a park or plaza. The image is heavily blurred due to camera movement, creating a sense of motion and distortion. Several people are visible but indistinct, appearing as ghostly figures. Trees and buildings form the backdrop, though their details are obscured. The photo has a textured overlay, possibly from aged film or print damage, adding a vintage and abstract quality. The overall effect…

The lower level features a glass-paneled escalator and stairway, with people ascending and descending. The upper level has storefronts with Chinese signage and individuals walking along the corridor. Reflections on glass surfaces create layered visual effects. The image captures candid moments of daily life, with people engaged in shopping or commuting. The architectural design emphasizes v…

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "This scene shows two characters in what appears to be the control room or bridge of a spacecraft. The setting features a futuristic control console with various buttons, switches, and displays typical of science fiction television from the late 1970s.

Near-shortest routes significantly overlap, leading to low route diversity. (b) Example of a trip with high DiverCity (9) in Tokyo, characterized by multiple spatially diverse near-shortest routes. For panels (a) and (b), inset bar plots show the travel time of each alternative route, with NSRs in blue and non-feasible routes (exceeding the near-shortest threshold, shown …

Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report

Not sure what the difference between a panel and a"fireside chat" is. There is no fire.
But here's a fireside chat on what nostr is.
Nostr is freedom for Identity. Accounts without hosts. Publishing without publidhers. Censorship resistance without platforms deciding who gets to say what.
It's not a silo in which you can be tapped as the service enshitifies, since it's a protocol with accounts you control, you can't switch clients or relays without loosing social graph or contacts.
Nostr is notes and Other Stuff, what other stuff? the panel is working on an audiobook publishing system with perhaps a required payment and affiliate revenue share. E-commerce, video publishing, zap stream for live video with zap payments.
Onboarding can be tricky with private key management needing to be understood and such a range of options of clients and what relays are. Can we make it easier?
Perhaps by abstracting away the fact it's nostr at all. Devine users don't even know they are using nostr. But this robs users of the understanding they may need to move clients or use the same account for video and notes, say.
Perhaps by making a private messagnger, the panel thinks people are used to using multiple messenger apps. Though I find they hate that, and that's why they refuse to install signal. They feel they don't need it since they already have WhatsApp with a bigger network.
In the end it's education. We have to teach literacy so people can read and write, we have to teach public keys encryption so people can do so securely.

I decided to be properly cyberpunk, my bar for Neotropolis needs exhaust fans on the outside. To be cinematic, the fan should turn pointlessly slow.
I bought a fan with a speed controller. It seem to use 5V PWM. Sending my own PWM, ~8% is the lowest speed. Below that it shuts off. But I want slower still.
I'm surprised this isn't a brushed DC motor or universal motor - it uses a BLDC motor.
I suspect the easiest route will be replacing with a

Heterogeneous Graph Representation of Stiffened Panels with Non-Uniform Boundary Conditions and Loads
Yuecheng Cai, Jasmin Jelovica
arxiv.org/abs/2510.02472

Heterogeneous Graph Representation of Stiffened Panels with Non-Uniform Boundary Conditions and Loads
Surrogate models are essential in structural analysis and optimization. We propose a heterogeneous graph representation of stiffened panels that accounts for geometrical variability, non-uniform boundary conditions, and diverse loading scenarios, using heterogeneous graph neural networks (HGNNs). The structure is partitioned into multiple structural units, such as stiffeners and the plates between them, with each unit represented by three distinct node types: geometry, boundary, and loading nod…
