Missing Link: Symbolpolitik des Bundes verschleiert Vollzugsdefizite
Gescheiterte Gefährderansprachen und Datensilos: Warum neue Gesetze und technische Lösungen die strukturellen Probleme der deutschen Terrorabwehr nicht lösen.

Since I could translate the symbols, I can now see them in gdb as well (extended with gef here). When I run QEMU, it uses the Multiboot header, but that's no issue.
In gdb, I had to
- `target remote localhost:1234`
- `add-symbol-file ./9pc64.aout.elf 0xffffffff80110000`
The second part is crucial for relocating the symbols, since we'll be long mode.
Anyway, enjoy symbols!!! \o/

A global urban road network self-adaptive simplification workflow from traffic to spatial representation

Data for 35 cities. Looks similar to the neatnet method

A global urban road network self-adaptive simplification workflow from traffic to spatial representation - Scientific Data
Urban road network is crucial for understanding and revealing the spatial logic of urban organization and evolution. However, existing urban road network datasets like OpenStreetMap are designed for traffic studies, treating each lane as a distinct spatial unit of mobility, which may not align with urban studies considering each road as an integration space for social and cultural dynamics. This study established a novel workflow to self-adaptively transform the global urban road network from t…

Spent a little while photographing an AKL-PT5 production sample to get some beauty shots for the Digikey page etc when I start making them in volume.
I'll probably downsample... The SEL90M28G macro lens did perhaps too good a job. You can see every little dust speck here lol.

Share of news influencers on Bluesky has doubled after the 2024 US election to 43%, but X remains popular, with 82% of news influencers maintaining an account (Pew Research Center)

Bluesky has caught on with many news influencers, but X remains popular
The share of news influencers in our sample with a Bluesky account roughly doubled in the four months after Election Day 2024, from 21% beforehand to 43% by March.

TIL: On Taiwan TV, the BBC series “Doctor Who” is translated as “⁠何博士”.
博士 is simply the word for doctor (the academic degree, not a medical practitioner). But 何 is both a Chinese surname (transcribed as Ho or Hé) and an interrogative pronoun for “what” or “how”. Clever translation.
BBC and Disney use 超時空奇俠 as the Chinese title which translates as "across-time-space strange hero" and Netflix uses ⁠神秘博士 "Mysterious Doctor". 🤷

Sampling Finite Unit Norm Tight Frames Using Symplectic Geometry
Unit-norm tight frames in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces (FUNTFs) are fundamental in signal processing, offering optimal robustness to noise and measurement loss. In this paper we introduce the Eigenlift algorithm for sampling random FUNTFs. Our approach exploits the symplectic geometry of the FUNTF space, which we characterize as a symplectic reduction of frame space by a symmetry group. We then define a Hamiltonian torus action on this reduced space whose momentum map induces a fiber bundl…

Harmoknight: completed!
Harmoknight is best described as a rhythm platformer, although the platforming is basic at best and the rhythms are simple. You have two buttons - a jump, and an attack - and you have to either jump or attack in time with the music's beat. In most cases it's sufficient to react in time to seeing the gap or enemy, but on occasion the screen zooms in and reaction times are just too long; it's at this point that you'll lose too many lives and have…

First actual symbols from a.out translated to ELF. It worketh! \o/

I managed to get symbols to show up in my ELF! 🧝
