It’s the month of #Pride!
Here’s some custom emojis to celebrate!

This article about super-elite invitation only flight rewards status is predictably obscene. I gotta LOL at the “swag” for these rumoured $50,000 per year minimum expense perks.
My aunt was an Air Canada attendant in the 80s. As a child, I got a really cool metal Air Canada model airplane from her.
A water bottle and a charging brick?😂
I love it when the elite scam the elite. 🤦😆✈️

Künstliche Intelligenz: Sag mir, was mein Hund mir sagen will
Forscher haben ein KI-Modell zur Sprachverarbeitung auf Hundegebell angesetzt. Das Ergebnis: Die Künstliche Intelligenz erfasste sogar die Stimmung der Tiere.

Snot - “Get Some” (1997)
I never got too deep into the mid-90s genre “Nü Metal”, but always liked this debut album from Snot.
RIP Lynn Strait. Loved your voice!

Generalized two-point visual control model of human steering for accurate state estimation
We derive and validate a generalization of the two-point visual control model, an accepted cognitive science model for human steering behavior. The generalized model is needed as current steering models are either insufficiently accurate or too complex for online state estimation. We demonstrate that the generalized model replicates specific human steering behavior with high precision (85\% reduction in modeling error) and integrate this model into a human-as-advisor framework where human steer…

Mechanized Analysis of Anselm's Modal Ontological Argument
We use a mechanized verification system, PVS, to examine the argument from Anselm's Proslogion Chapter III, the so-called "Modal Ontological Argument." We consider several published formalizations for the argument and show they are all essentially similar. Furthermore, we show that the argument is trivial once the modal axioms are taken into account. This work is an illustration of computational philosophy and, in addition, shows how these methods can help detect and rectify errors in modal r…

Ancient Cauldrons Were Used For Collecting Blood, Scientists Discover
Ancient vessels, discovered by accident on the Mongolian steppe, have given us new insight into how the land's ancient inhabitants ate.

Model Poisoning Attacks to Federated Learning via Multi-Round Consistency
Model poisoning attacks are critical security threats to Federated Learning (FL). Existing model poisoning attacks suffer from two key limitations: 1) they achieve suboptimal effectiveness when defenses are deployed, and/or 2) they require knowledge of the model updates or local training data on genuine clients. In this work, we make a key observation that their suboptimal effectiveness arises from only leveraging model-update consistency among malicious clients within individual training round…

Model fusion for efficient learning of nonlinear dynamical systems
In the context of model-based control of industrial processes, it is a common practice to develop a data-driven linear dynamical model around a specified operating point. However, in applications involving wider operating conditions, representation of the dynamics using a single linear dynamic model is often inadequate, requiring either a nonlinear model or multiple linear models to accommodate the nonlinear behaviour. While the development of the former suffers from the requirements of extensi…
