So, I still have not updated my iPhone to v26 because I hate everything I’ve seen about the “Liquid Glass” and Apple still had a v18 update last time around.
But I expect I will be forced to upgrade since Safari with Lockdown Mode on in v18 chokes on almost every page, redrawing a couple of times before giving up. I also see this in a couple of apps which are probably just thin wrappers around Safari WebViews. Turning off lockdown mode for the site ends the problem.

Canadian democracy is under threat. Algorithms and deceptive content are shaping what we see, think, and share, while foreign tech giants collect our data without limits.
Our current laws and digital systems aren’t strong enough to protect us. This leaves Canadian voices, our choices, and our digital identities at risk. Parliament must step up and champion Canada’s Digital Sovereignty Charter now

I was just finishing the set of password file parsing functions for picolibc and discovered glibc's getpwent_r.
The man page claims this function is re-entrant, and yet then states that it uses the same stream as getpwent and setpwent. Which sure sounds like global state to me.
Am I missing something, or is this function actually useful? Unless there's a good reason, I think I'm going to leave this one out; it looks like a user trap.

VoroUDF: Meshing Unsigned Distance Fields with Voronoi Optimization
Ningna Wang, Zilong Wang, Xiana Carrera, Xiaohu Guo, Silvia Sell\'an
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.02907 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.02907 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.02907
arXiv:2602.02907v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present VoroUDF, an algorithm for reconstructing high-quality triangle meshes from Unsigned Distance Fields (UDFs). Our algorithm supports non-manifold geometry, sharp features, and open boundaries, without relying on error-prone inside/outside estimation, restrictive look-up tables nor topologically noisy optimization. Our Voronoi-based formulation combines a L_1 tangent minimization with feature-aware repulsion to robustly recover complex surface topology. It achieves significantly improved topological consistency and geometric fidelity compared to existing methods, while producing lightweight meshes suitable for downstream real-time and interactive applications.

This is genuinely terrifying. Google Scholar is pushing "AI Powered Scholar Search."
What's scariest about this is that it will almost certainly turn up results that feel *right* -- they'll mention relevant topics and let a researcher craft a perfectly unassailable reference list.
But what it will prevent the researcher from doing is the actual research of finding relevant publications: discovering connections, framing questions, identifying contrasts…

So where’s actually the correct place to send a feature request to #KDE Plasma Addons?
Its GitLab readme says that I should “report bugs and feature requests in KDE's bugtracker under the plasmashell category”, but that requires me to choose a Component and there’s no “Plasma Addons” component or anything like that.
The bugs.kde page also says that I should, if I’m “not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org”.
So if each place tells me to post it somewhere different, where should I post it?

Fast Sparse Matrix Permutation for Mesh-Based Direct Solvers

arXiv:2602.00898v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We present a fast sparse matrix permutation algorithm tailored to linear systems arising from triangle meshes. Our approach produces nested-dissection-style permutations while significantly reducing permutation runtime overhead. Rather than enforcing strict balance and separator optimality, the algorithm deliberately relaxes these design decisions to favor fast partitioning and efficient elimination-tree construction. Our method decomposes permutation into patch-level local orderings and a compact quotient-graph ordering of separators, preserving the essential structure required by sparse Cholesky factorization while avoiding its most expensive components. We integrate our algorithm into vendor-maintained sparse Cholesky solvers on both CPUs and GPUs. Across a range of graphics applications, including single factorizations, repeated factorizations, our method reduces permutation time and improves the sparse Cholesky solve performance by up to 6.27x.

Genus-0 Surface Parameterization using Spherical Beltrami Differentials
Zhehao Xu, Lok Ming Lui
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.01589 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.01589 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.01589
arXiv:2602.01589v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Spherical surface parameterization is a fundamental tool in geometry processing and imaging science. For a genus-0 closed surface, many efficient algorithms can map the surface to the sphere; consequently, a broad class of task-driven genus-0 mapping problems can be reduced to constructing a high-quality spherical self-map. However, existing approaches often face a trade-off between satisfying task objectives (e.g., landmark or feature alignment), maintaining bijectivity, and controlling geometric distortion. We introduce the Spherical Beltrami Differential (SBD), a two-chart representation of quasiconformal self-maps of the sphere, and establish its correspondence with spherical homeomorphisms up to conformal automorphisms. Building on the Spectral Beltrami Network (SBN), we propose a neural optimization framework BOOST that optimizes two Beltrami fields on hemispherical stereographic charts and enforces global consistency through explicit seam-aware constraints. Experiments on large-deformation landmark matching and intensity-based spherical registration demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework. We further apply the method to brain cortical surface registration, aligning sulcal landmarks and jointly matching cortical sulci depth maps, showing improved task fidelity with controlled distortion and robust bijective behavior.
