It's not app-specific, it sometimes appears when I want to interact with something at the top of any app. It vanishes after touching somewhere else and is reduced to a white bar at the top.
I could not find out about its purpose or functionality. The middle part icons do nothing.

My plans to hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing were derailed by two days of rain and high winds, so we made a plan B: the Tama lakes track, which has somewhat less exposure but still gets up over 1400m. We’re lucky we didn’t try Tongariro given how tough the conditions were at Tama lakes – driving snow and winds on the ridge. But we were rewarded with good views and improving weather on the return trip. #hiking

COVER ART MATTERS on Instagram: "In 2016, Kate Murtagh, the actress and model who famously portrayed the waitress on Supertramp’s iconic Breakfast in America album cover, was 95 years old. That year, a touching photo surfaced online showing her recreating the playful expression she made in 1979, a wide, cheeky smile and raised eyebrows that had become part of rock history. The original album cover featured Murtagh dressed as a diner waitress styled after the Statue of Liberty, holding a glass of orange juice in place of a torch and a menu instead of a tablet. Behind her was a whimsical model of the New York City skyline made entirely from breakfast items like cereal boxes, egg cartons, and cutlery, perfectly matching the album’s satirical take on American culture. Kate Murtagh passed away in October 2017 at the age of 96, leaving behind one of the most memorable images in rock music history.

Only, you must first unlock the developer options by touching 5 times the Firefox logo in the "About" section (very much like how one unlocks Android's dev options).

Touching the tumor boundary: A pilot study on ultrasound based virtual fixtures for breast-conserving surgery
Purpose: Delineating tumor boundaries during breast-conserving surgery is challenging as tumors are often highly mobile, non-palpable, and have irregularly shaped borders. To address these challenges, we introduce a cooperative robotic guidance system that applies haptic feedback for tumor localization. In this pilot study, we aim to assess if and how this system can be successfully integrated into breast cancer care. Methods: A small haptic robot is retrofitted with an electrocautery blade t…

All the wood was sanded down and remaining nude wood given some paint. We have a test plank in the foreground of the first picture here which is painted with a second coat of paint. Seems likely we lose all the wood grain when doing that, and so will prefer the paler look where it's obviously made of wood not paint.
Won't really know for sure till it's dry. Prefer the colour a bit darker like that but if we're hiding the wood grain we might as well have used MDF instead of pine. We're after something clearly made of wood.
Another area is test-painted with just the clearcoat top varnish as a second layer. That's likely to be right, just a bit more shiny and protected.
The carpenter proper is back from holiday and starts tomorrow. He has a lot of drawers and doors to build and edging to attach to make the door panels. Still hoping at least the carpentry will be pretty much all done by the end of the week but likely some painting and touching up still to do next week. Hopefully by the end of Tuesday because I'm not really able to be here all day each day for most of the two weeks after that.

The fallacy I've experienced in both personal relations and international politics is the belief that there exists an option in which everything stays the same. Not touching the steering wheel, simply continuing as is, will mean all is well, and it's seemingly not as much of a decision as actively interfering is.
The trolly problem exposes this belief, yet we have not really overcome it.

Optimal gradient estimates for conductivity problems with imperfect low-conductivity interfaces
This paper studies field concentration between two nearly touching conductors separated by imperfect low-conductivity interfaces, modeled by Robin boundary conditions. It is known that for any sufficiently small interfacial bonding parameter $γ> 0$, the gradient remains uniformly bounded with respect to the separation distance $\varepsilon$. In contrast, for the perfect bonding case ($γ= 0$, corresponding to the perfect conductivity problem), the gradient may blow up as $\varepsilon \to 0$ at…

STM32MP2 PCIe bringup update: the PCIe IP has 4 MB of address space allocated to it, but touching anything past the first 2 MB seems to hang.
When I dump any of the register blocks in the first 2 MB, they all report the same Synopsys : 0550 device ID.
All of the registers are the same in each of the mirrors, with the exception of 8 bytes starting at 0x174 and 4 bytes starting at 0x728.
Somehow there has to be a way to see devices behind the root complex.

If you're interested in the #aquarium hashtag, there's a new @… bot that replaced the old a.gup.pe bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
So yes, hashtags are great, but they don’t help message propagation.

Theory of non-resonant Raman scattering from electrons in nodal and flat bands

Theory of non-resonant Raman scattering from electrons in nodal and flat bands
Raman scattering is emerging as a surprising probe of electron topology in quantum materials. It has been used recently to detect and characterize a topological phase transition that accompanies the magnetic transition in Nd$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$. Here we present a theory of Raman scattering from nodal electrons with Weyl and quadratic band touching spectra, which has to reach beyond the standard effective mass approximation. After reviewing and providing the details of our previous theory development…

Picture the human body. Zoom in on a single cell. It lives for a while, then splits or dies, as part of a community of cells that make up a particular tissue. This community lives together for many many cell-lifetimes, each performing their own favorite function and reproducing as much as necessary to maintain their community, consuming the essential resources they need and contributing back what they can so that the whole body can live for decades. Each community of cells is interdependent on the whole body, but also stable and sustainable over long periods of time.
Now imagine a cancer cell. It has lost its ability to harmonize with the whole and prioritize balance, instead consuming and reproducing as quickly as it can. As neighboring tissues start to die from its excess, it metastasizes, always spreading to new territory to fuel its unbalanced appetite. The inevitable result is death of the whole body, although through birth, that body can create a new fresh branch of tissues that may continue their stable existence free of cancer. Alternatively, radiation or chemotherapy might be able to kill off the cancer, at great cost to the other tissues, but permitting long-term survival.
To the cancer cell, the idea of decades-long survival of a tissue community is unbelievable. When your natural state is unbounded consumption, growth, and competition, the idea of interdependent cooperation (with tissues all around the body you're not even touching, no less) seems impossible, and the idea that a tissue might survive in a stable form for decades is ludicrous.
"Perhaps if conditions were bleak enough to perfectly balance incessant unrestrained growth against the depredations of a hostile environment it might be possible? I guess the past must have been horribly brutal, so that despite each tissue trying to grow as much as possible they each barely survived? Yes, a stable and sustainable population is probably only possible under conditions of perfectly extreme hardship, and in our current era of unfettered growth, we should rejoice that we live in much easier times!"
You can probably already see where I'm going with this metaphor, but did you know that there are human communities, alive today, that have been living sustainably for *tens, if not hundreds of thousands of years*?

Day 12: Laura Zimmerman
We're back to a YA author here, and Zimmerman has been floating in my list of people to include since the start. I've read "My Eyes are Up Here" about dealing with misogyny and just general logistics while having very large breasts in high school. It's both engaging & educational, but also very well written in terms of the pacing, comedic moments, and turns of phrase. That led me to check out "Just Do This One Thing For Me" which is extremely dark, *incredibly hilarious*, and so thick with dramatic irony it had me constantly amused. It's also really touching at times, and a beautiful ode to the bonds of siblinghood that made me cry as well as laugh. I won't spoil the plot at all, but it's one of the best YA books I've ever read.

Limit shapes for Domain-Wall (colored) vertex models
We study partition functions with domain-wall like boundary conditions for path models issued from colored vertex models. These models display an arctic phenomenon, as attested by numerical simulations. We show that the colored vertex model is equivalent to a certain single-color ``colorblind" vertex model. In a special case of the weights for the colorblind touching paths, we derive the arctic curve using a bijective sliding map to non-intersecting paths, for which arctic curves were previousl…

We initiate a systematic framework for the analysis of analytic properties of finite Feynman integrals that are multiple polylogarithms. Based on the Feynman parameter representation in complex projective space, we make a complete classification of logarithmic singularities of the integral on its principal branch, by what we call touching configurations -- a geometric relationship between the integrand singularity and linear subspaces tied to boundary elements of the integral contour.

Chiral charge conservation and ballistic magnetotransport in a disordered Weyl semimetal
A. A. Burkov
https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.25330 https://arxiv.org/pd…

Chiral charge conservation and ballistic magnetotransport in a disordered Weyl semimetal
We demonstrate that in an ideal Weyl semimetal, in which the Fermi energy coincides with the band-touching nodes, weak direct inter-nodal scattering is irrelevant and, as a result, the chiral charge is (almost) exactly conserved. This leads to an experimentally-observable effect: in an applied magnetic field, the charge transport along the field becomes purely ballistic, with the conductance given by $e^2/h$ per magnetic flux quantum through the sample cross-section. This is the strongest exper…
