Hey hey all my #Krita artists, does anyone else who uses a Wacom notice the app being too sensitive when using the freehand selection / lasso tool?
It often seems to release the selection before I actually lift my pen off the tablet resulting in an incorrect selection. This is annoying for obvious reasons. Any way to fix this?

My only good picture of the Aurora. We are WAY south (Atlanta, GA). It wasn't visible to the naked eye, but the camera was a bit more sensitive to the non-visible spectrum.

Adaptive Fair Representation Learning for Personalized Fairness in Recommendations via Information Alignment
Personalized fairness in recommendations has been attracting increasing attention from researchers. The existing works often treat a fairness requirement, represented as a collection of sensitive attributes, as a hyper-parameter, and pursue extreme fairness by completely removing information of sensitive attributes from the learned fair embedding, which suffer from two challenges: huge training cost incurred by the explosion of attribute combinations, and the suboptimal trade-off between fairne…

Wow, that was nice. I had typed in the 2nd word, but then the fire alarm went off (because I'm cooking ribs and my alarms are sensitive!), so I come back up 30 minutes later, and think, that's a fine guess and hit enter. It was a fine guess 😁
OK, my 1st guess seems to have been quite fine as well, only left 2 words!

Seashell-inspired polarization-sensitive tonotopic metasensor
Bioinspiration has widely been demonstrated to be a powerful approach for the design of innovative structures and devices. Recently, this concept has been extended to the field of elasticity, dynamics, and metamaterials. In this paper, we propose a seashell-inspired metasensor that can simultaneously perform spatial frequency mapping and act as a polarizer. The structure emerges from a universal parametric design that encompasses diverse spiral geometries with varying circular cross sections an…

New design for a small, highly sensitive gravimeter that can operate stably at room temperature
A team of physicists and engineers affiliated with several institutions in China has developed a new kind of small, highly sensitive gravimeter that can operate stably at room temperature. In their project, reported in the journal Physical Review Letters, the group developed a dual magnet strategy that used a laser to measure changes in gravity.

Chiral two-dimensional MoS2 by molecular functionalization as ultra-sensitive detectors for circularly polarized light
Inducing chirality in optically and electronically active materials is interesting for applications in sensing and quantum information transmission. Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal chalcogenides (TMDs) possess excellent electronic and optical properties but are achiral. Here we demonstrate chirality induction in atomically thin layers of 2D MoS2 by functionalization with chiral thiol molecules. Analysis of X-ray absorption near-edge structure and Raman optical activity with circularly pol…
