Turns out that what hit flight #UA1093 was most likely a balloon from windbornesystems.com - this was brought up first in the thread x.com/vk5qi/status/19803865814 and now the company confirms that it's a very strong possibility: x.com/johndeanl/status/1980462. See also youtube.com/watch?v=YZzbS30xdjM for a short video about the company and how it's filling the atmosphere with long-duration balloons carrying weather sensors. They had just been hailed as one of the best inventions of 2025: time.com/collections/best-inve ...

Patents: A sound view
The Dutch electronics company Philips is patenting a device which gives blind pedestrians an audible picture of the path ahead (European patent application 410 045). A simple video camera with a coarse-image sensor made up from a matrix of 64 x 64 picture points views the scene ahead. Each vertical line of the matrix is …

Un article sur les cigales, comment ça peut être intéressant ?
Cet entretien avec un cicadologue montre un point de vue très actuel sur notre place dans la société : l’humain face Š la biodiversité, la place de ce que l’on ne connaît pas, et… que les cigales s’accouplent par une synchronisation de leurs appels.

Les cigales, des insectes faussement familiers
Saviez-vous que certaines espèces peuvent vivre plus de vingt ans, que certains mâles restent silencieux, que l’essentiel de la vie d’une cigale se passe sous terre ?

First/last light, same day. Golden larches.
(From a hike on the last day of our recent roadtrip. The view in the second image is looking back at Hanauer Hütte, in front of Schneekarlespitze and (clipped) Dremelspitze)

(Mostly) yellow larch trees standing in dense patches of lowgrowth mountain pines, on steep mountain slopes in the morning fog. A vague ridge line in the background. Uniform gray sky.
Multi-layered mountain landscape, in terms of distance, elevation and light. A mountain hut (Hanauer Hütte) is standing on the precipice of a large rock wall, the cables of its supply cable car leading up to it from the valley. Behind it, the ridge line of Schneekarlespitze and the north face of Dremelspitze in the haze. Most of the lower valley parts are already in deep shade from the surrounding peaks. Only a band of yellow/orange larches standing in the penumbra are still catching the beauti…

SPORTS: Simultaneous Panoptic Odometry, Rendering, Tracking and Segmentation for Urban Scenes Understanding
The scene perception, understanding, and simulation are fundamental techniques for embodied-AI agents, while existing solutions are still prone to segmentation deficiency, dynamic objects' interference, sensor data sparsity, and view-limitation problems. This paper proposes a novel framework, named SPORTS, for holistic scene understanding via tightly integrating Video Panoptic Segmentation (VPS), Visual Odometry (VO), and Scene Rendering (SR) tasks into an iterative and unified perspective. Fir…

E-ROBOT: a dimension-free method for robust statistics and machine learning via Schr\"odinger bridge

arxiv.org/abs/2509.11532

E-ROBOT: a dimension-free method for robust statistics and machine learning via Schrödinger bridge
We propose the Entropic-regularized Robust Optimal Transport (E-ROBOT) framework, a novel method that combines the robustness of ROBOT with the computational and statistical benefits of entropic regularization. We show that, rooted in the Schrödinger bridge problem theory, E-ROBOT defines the robust Sinkhorn divergence $\overline{W}_{\varepsilon,λ}$, where the parameter $λ$ controls robustness and $\varepsilon$ governs the regularization strength. Letting $n\in \mathbb{N}$ denote the sample …

Sienten opettelu kannattaa: Martat neuvovat hyvän tavan aloittaa
Syksy on sienien aikaa. Vaikka sienisadon alkua jouduttiinkin vähän odottelemaan, on sieniä nyt putkahdellut runsaastikin ympäri Suomea. Martat kannustavat suomalaisia nappaamaan sienikorin ja suuntaamaan metsään.

Guiding sightless people one dimension at a time: how the strategy used in spontaneous voice instructions benefits sonification-based guidance
Sensory substitution devices (SSDs) aim to assist visually impaired people by converting spatial information into non-visual modalities, such as sound. Among existing guidance methods, voice instructions are the most intuitive, while sonification offers continuous and precise feedback. In this study, we explore a sequential sonification approach (which conveys instructions one dimension at a time, one after the other), inspired by voice guidance, and compare its effectiveness against parallel s…
