Today one of these rare days when all that was "necessary" is done, and out of less necessary things I don't feel like doing anything else, so I have some leisure time.
I have a bunch of series with new episodes to watch — except what's the point of starting another season if I won't find time for the second episode for at least a week? So I've started looking for a movie to watch instead…
And before I started watching it, I found something "unnecessary" to work on, so…

Series D, Episode 03 - Traitor
[View of Helotrix from space. Cut to exterior view of city. Cut to Military Headquarters. Colonel Quute is questioning Igin, two guards stand at the rear. The Tracer is sat beside his console, watching the interrogation, not his instruments.]
QUUTE: Igin, is that right?

Fast X-ray Transient detection with AXIS: application to Magnetar Giant Flares
Magnetar giant flares (MGFs) are among the most luminous high-energy transients in the local universe, consisting of a short, intense MeV gamma-ray spike followed by a softer, pulsating X-ray tail and possibly delayed radioactive emission. While only three Galactic events have been firmly detected, several extragalactic candidates have recently been reported, motivating the need for sensitive, rapid-response gamma- and X-ray facilities to constrain their rates and energetics. We present a feasi…

Johnson and Trump Try to Avoid an Upset House Loss in Tennessee
Speaker Mike Johnson put the president on speakerphone during a Monday stop in the state, underscoring the unusual amount of national attention on a House special election.
ELECTION DAY IS TOMORROW.
The entire political world is watching Tennessee. A district Trump won by 22 points is currently neck-and-neck. But we cannot risk a single vote being left on the table.
Our final, most audacious move is live ri…

The awesome cable guys, who rewired my internet connection into fiber-optic, also replaced my old set-top box with a snappier android device, and now even the 4K channels work! It turns out, I still love surfing the channels, sports, news, the occasional movie, lots of catch-ups, setting reminders. I just gradually fell out of watching TV because it felt like a dial-up connection compared to the internet.

Just watching 9 bodies in a Mexican Morgue and it's basically like someone wrote a framing narrative for a game of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)

I started watching the movie Megalopolis on Netflix but stopped after 10 minutes or so. I had heard that it was an expensive disaster but it felt boring. This "VFX Artists React" episode by #CorridorCrew is a recap of the movie's wildest VFX scenes. Just... wow...

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 …
