As @coreyspowell.bsky.social has written;
NASA is sending the OSIRIS-APEX mission to Apophis.
It is already in the sky and will arrive just after the 2029 flyby.
Trump and those with him tried to illegally shut down OSIRIS-APEX in 2025 May.
Members of Congress intervened to keep it going.

Raiders’ Maxx Crosby Sends Strong Message Amid Trade Rumors https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/maxx-crosby-strong-message-trade-rumors/?adt_ei=[email]

We’re at a point where these sorts of simple genetic disorders are going to be falling to CRISPR-Cas9 treatments one after another in an accelerating fashion until we run out of targets.
They raise troubling questions about access to care and cost. Ask why we still have people with active Sickle Cell disease, years after the CURE was demonstrated.
The reason is that no one is stepping up with the megabuck per patient. @…

I'm not saying the CAA broadening the licensing requirements for drones in the UK is a way of building a list of potential participants in a future military conflict, but.

Many new UK drone users must take theory test for outdoor use
The Civil Aviation Authority reckons up to half a million people in the UK may be impacted by its new requirements.

Abstract: Multimode fiber~(MMF) imaging using deep learning has high potential to produce compact, minimally invasive endoscopic systems. Nevertheless, it relies on large, diverse real-world medical data, whose availability is limited by privacy concerns and practical challenges. Although data augmentation has been extensively studied in various other deep learning tasks, it has not been systematically explored for MMF imaging. This work provides the first in-depth experimental and computational study on the efficacy and limitations of augmentation techniques in this field. We demonstrate that standard image transformations and conditional generative adversarial-based synthetic speckle generation fail to improve, or even deteriorate, reconstruction quality, as they neglect the complex modal interference and dispersion that results in speckle formation. To address this, we introduce a physical data augmentation method in which only organ images are digitally transformed, while their corresponding speckles are experimentally acquired via fiber. This approach preserves the physics of light-fiber interaction and enhances the reconstruction structural similarity index measure~(SSIM) by up to 17\%, forming a viable system for reliable MMF imaging under limited data conditions.
