MAP: End-to-End Autonomous Driving with Map-Assisted Planning
In recent years, end-to-end autonomous driving has attracted increasing attention for its ability to jointly model perception, prediction, and planning within a unified framework. However, most existing approaches underutilize the online mapping module, leaving its potential to enhance trajectory planning largely untapped. This paper proposes MAP (Map-Assisted Planning), a novel map-assisted end-to-end trajectory planning framework. MAP explicitly integrates segmentation-based map features and …

Oh, there's a recent Nicolas Cage movie called "The Surfer"? I'll be watching this without having the slightest hint of what it is about.

This weekend I heard a song on the radio and had a vague recollection of having seen an episode of a TV show in which that song was used as a plot point... or maybe it was in a movie... or maybe even in a book I read (although the memory felt aural rather than textual). In trying to figure out if I could pin down the show/movie I came across https://www.wh…

How Microplastics cross the Buoyancy Barrier: A multi-scale Study
Microplastics (MPs), though less dense than water, are frequently recovered from sediments in aqueous environments, indicating they can cross the buoyancy barrier. We quantify eco-corona mediated MP-sediment attraction and MP transport from the nanoscale to the macroscale, linking all scales to a coherent mechanism explaining how MP overcome buoyancy and settle in sediments through interaction with suspended sediment. Colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (CP-AFM) detected attractive forces…

i'm squeezing in watching this Reading match while we're on the way to the theatre for 24hr horror movie marathon (the main point of me coming out to philly to begin with)

Watching Ball x Pit and its auto selected stat upgrades makes me wonder is there a game where you pick up items that feed into the next chosen stat upgrade? Like you're picking up votes and if you want to lean into Agility you need to avoid Strength?
Maybe the number of total votes you pickup doesn't matter so there's no incentive to get them all and it becomes a bit bullet hell to avoid stats you're not maxing?

Some leftists have criticized #NoKingsDay2 as useless. Though it was the largest protest in US history, it didn't change anything. I would go further to say that protests like these generally won't change anything. Dictators aren't forced to step down by 2% of the population coming out for one day. If they're forced to step down by protests, those protests are sustained. They are every single day. They are accompanied by general strikes.
We've been watching that happen all over the world. Portland in 2020 gave us a taste of that in the US. The George Floyd Rebellion was the type of resistance that actually brings down dictators like Trump. Occasional protests, no matter how large, can simply be ignored. That is precisely the reason the US developed a militarized police force in the first place. You need more, more than the largest protests in US history, more than Occupy, more than the resistance of the 60's and 70's, more than, and different from, anything we've seen in our lives.
And yet... Each protest has grown, and grown bolder. Some have grown more persistent. If you think of protest as the path to achieve change, you will lose. It is not. But it is a path to escalate. Some people, some otherwise comfortable white folks, came out for their first time. Some people got pepper sprayed for the first time. Some people questioned authority, stood up for the first time, and have had an experience that will radicalize them for the rest of their lives.
Protest is not useful in and of itself. It is training. It's making connections. Authoritarian regimes rely on the illusion of compliance, so visual resistance does actually undermine their power.
Liberals like to teach that non-violence is all about staying peaceful no matter what, that there's some way that morality simply overwhelms an enemy. I remember reading Langston Hughes' A Dream Deferred in high school. I said it was a threat. My teacher said, "you're wrong, he was a pacifist." Pacifism is a threat. If you can spit at me, beat me, shoot me, and I will not move, if I have the strength to absorb violence without flinching, without even rising to violence, what will happen when you push me too far?
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
For peaceful resistance to work, there must be ambiguity. It must not be clear if or when the resistance will stop being peaceful. Peaceful resistance with no possibility of escalation is just cowardice.
My critique then is not so harsh as some other anarchists. If you think that protest alone will work, you're probably going to lose. If you are prepared to escalate, if you are prepared to absorb violence without flinching, then it could be possible for protest alone to topple the dictator. The cracks are already beginning to show.
And then what?
The problems that lead to the George Floyd uprising were never resolved. The problems that lead to Occupy where never resolve. The DAPL was built, protesters were maimed, it leaked multiple times (exactly as predicted). Segregation never went away, it only changed forms. The fact that immigrants have different courts and different rights means that anyone can be arbitrarily kidnaped and renditioned to an arbitrary country. We never did anything about the torture black site. FFS, people can still be stripped of their voting rights and slavery is still legal in the US. The people who control both parties in the US are killing our children and grand children with oil wars and climate change.
Toppling the dictator does nothing to resolve all of the problems that existed before him.
No, #NoKingsDay was absolutely not useless. #NoKings and related protests are extremely useful but they aren't sufficient. But, I think we still need to challenge the movement on two points:
How do you escalate after you're ignored or brutalized?
What do you demand after you win?

In short: I’ve spent over 500 hours watching the Moomins, and it’s still my favorite series of all time.
I truly love the world of the Moomins from the 90s. It is not only a way for me to escape today's shit. but a place that feels alive inside me, where friends cook together, wander through the woods, and make each other laugh in the sunshine. It gives me a sense of direction whenever the outside world feels too shit and broken.
I love it because life in the valley shows tha…

I spit on the popular opinion and declare #TheMatrixResurrections essential to the original trilogy 🙂 It's not a good Matrix movie. It's a painfully stand-alone movie commenting on society expecting a repeat of a Matrix movie - despite the obvious warnings of The Matrix. Try re-watching it after the first three from today's point view and judge by yourself. F…
