TDACloud: Point Cloud Recognition Using Topological Data Analysis
Point cloud-based object/place recognition remains a problem of interest in applications such as autonomous driving, scene reconstruction, and localization. Extracting meaningful local descriptors from a query point cloud that can be matched with the descriptors of the collected point clouds is a challenging problem. Furthermore, when the query point cloud is noisy or has been transformed (e.g., rotated), it adds to the complexity. To this end, we propose a novel methodology, named TDACloud, us…

Fast and Accurate Reconstruction of Voronoi Generators in Large Tessellations
A Voronoi diagram partitions the plane into convex cells, each containing the points closest to a single generator. Given such a tessellation, the inverse Voronoi problem seeks the generator set \( S \) that produced it. Our algorithm selects a single interior cell with \( k \) edges and solves a compact, consistent linear system with \( 2(k+1) \) unknowns and \( 4k \) scalar equations to recover that cell's generator together with the \( k \) generators of its neighbors in one step. The remain…

Kirjutasin ERRi artikli. Pole vist kunagi nii kiiresti ühte artiklit kirjutanud, tavaliselt kulub selleks palju rohkem aega. Põhjus selles, et lugesin Kristjan Porti arvamust Novaatoris ning mõtlesin, et miks see "pimeda keskaja" müüt ka ei kao. Sellest on ju nii palju juttu olnud. Meil oli eelmisel semestril TÜs ka ülikoolimõtte ajaloo kursus, kus sai pikalt tegeletud keskaja ning varauusaja ülikoolide ajalooga ning eriti just sellel taustal tundus, et on vaja ikkagi midagi omalt …

Einem Artikel des sehr informativen Magazins für Teekultur "t" entnehme ich, dass die aktuelle Matchaknappheit sich auf stark erhöhte Nachfrage nach Premium-Matcha zurückführen lässt. Teetrinkende im Westen würden nun vermehrt auch für Mixgetränke Matchapulver besserer Qualität (und in größerer Menge) verwenden, u.a. auch, seit sie inflationsbedingt dazu übergingen, ihr Zeug selbst zu Hause anzurühren. Die Matcha-Jahre 2025 und 2026 bleiben spannend, so die Experten.

The only jury I've ever been on faced a question about resisting arrest. The defendant was tackled by an officer and initially fought back (or so the officer claimed). The officer was wearing a police uniform, but we acquitted on the charge, because the defendant was tackled from behind and there was reasonable doubt as to whether the officer actually identified themselves verbally in a way that made it clear to the defendant they weren't being tackled by some random dude.
This ain't legal advice, but in situations where a kidnapper refuses to identify themselves, show a warrant, or even a badge number, I suspect a sufficiently white bystander might not be convicted on interference charges if they did something like a citizen's arrest of a suspicious out-of-town paramilitary type who was in the process of an extrajudicial kidnapping. If there are multiple kidnappers, to be effective you might need multiple people willing to face jail time for such interventions to be successful...
#resist #ICE #kidnapping
Just thinking about this in light of the recent kidnapping in the next town over where some fools called the city police thinking they might actually protect the community from an unlawful assault. Can't blame the fools too much because of how deep positive portrayals of cops are embedded in our media diet though...

‘A good day’: Detained U.S. citizen said agents bragged after arresting dozens at Home Depot.

Detained citizen says agents bragged after arresting dozens at Home Depot
A U.S. citizen who was tackled and arrested by border agents after filming and yelling at them said his 'blood was boiling' when agents high-fived each other after grabbing dozens at Home Depot on Thursday.
