Prophet Royal Robertson outside his home (from the documentary Make by Scott Ogden and Malcolm Hearn[1])
In this extract from the film Celestial Knowledge Credo Mutwa speaks about aliens or greys beings known as Mantindane in Africa.
Stories of alien sightings and landings of mysterious aircraft have emerged from Iino as far back as the 1970s. Tsugio Kinoshita, a researcher of unidentified flying objects, said he first saw such an UFO in 1972 at the age of 25.

Kinoshita was hiking a mountain in Fukushima prefecture with four friends when suddenly a saucer-like shape appeared in front of them. “This thing stuck out in front of me. Starting and stopping in the blue sky. Then all of a sudden, it was gone,” he told VICE World …

For #Caturday, a reminder that Widget remains available for adoption in the NYC metro area. She would prefer a calm house without kids (we are not a calm house). She's super affectionate! #CatsOfMastodon

A tabby cat laying on her side on a couch, with someone's hand rubbing her belly. the cat appears to be enjoying it, with her  eyes closed and her two white paws forward.
A tabby cat lying on her back in the crack of a gray couch. Her hind legs are pressed against the back of the couch, and her head is at the front of the couch. Her white belly is pointed up in the air, and her front paw is extended as if she's supercat flying through the air.
Same pic of the same tabby cat in the couch crack, just from a slightly different angle. Now the cat is looking at the camera, and her front paw isn't extended as far out.
Same tabby cat on the same gray couch, this time she's near the end of the couch and sitting on her tummy. Her front paws are facing forward, but her head is turned to the side looking at the camera. She looks as if the person behind the camera just said something mean about her mother.

New preprint!
Predicting integers from continuous parameters
arxiv.org/abs/2602.10751
We study the problem of integer distributions that have continuous parameters. This is important for distributions that are tuned by backpropagation, like those that sit at the top of neural networ…

A colorful line plot. The horizontal axis is labeled mu, and the vertical axis log of gamma raised to the f plus gamma raised to the c. It shows that this quantity (the penalty term) goes to zero at the integers and get high the further mu is from integer values.
A diagram explaining how the expected value of the Dalap distribution can be computed from its paramters gamma and mu.
Test set results on various tabular datasets, showing that Dalap gets good performance in bits.
Image generation results for Dalap, Dlogistic and Bitwise using an autoregressive pixel model. Dalap is shown to be competitive with the baseline (Dlogistic), while Bitwise performs poorly.

60 years ago tonight, the velvet underground at summit high school in new jersey, opening for the myddle class, both acts' 1st proper shows. sometimes called the VU's debut, rob norris’s classic scene report, “i was a velveteen” (from kicks #1) mentions they’d just been fired from cafe wha?, so maybe there was one earlier, too? some great local coverage, too!

Ah, NATO SG Rutte finally speaks up about Greenland. "NATO needs to protect it." Against Russia and China that is, not against his 'daddy' Trump.

Woohoo! I rescued my ESP32-S3 board; after my first attempt with esp32 rust I broke USB detection/flashing and the GPIO0 connection on the PCB wasn't apparently getting it to go into the rescue boot mode - it was stuck in boot mode 0x8 always going to the bad flash image. So I took the can off - it turns out to be easy; and got GPIO0 down to zero using a sharp scalpel wired to ground; worked great! Back to having the original image. (Note the S3 pinout isn't the same as the module…
