Deep Learning-Based Meat Freshness Detection with Segmentation and OOD-Aware Classification
In this study, we present a meat freshness classification framework from Red-Green-Blue (RGB) images that supports both packaged and unpackaged meat datasets. The system classifies four in-distribution (ID) meat classes and uses an out-of-distribution (OOD)-aware abstention mechanism that flags low-confidence samples as No Result. The pipeline combines U-Net-based segmentation with deep feature classifiers. Segmentation is used as a preprocessing step to isolate the meat region and reduce background, producing more consistent inputs for classification. The segmentation module achieved […]

Please, please, please stop using passkeys for encrypting user data
Please, please, please stop using passkeys for encrypting user data Because users lose their passkeys all the time, and may not understand that their data has been irreversibly encrypted using them and can no longer be recovered. Tim Cappalli: To the wider identity industry: please stop promoting and using passkeys to encrypt user data. I’m begging you. Let them be great, phishing-resistant authentication credentials. Via lobste.rs Tags: security, usability, passkeys

Under a Paramount-WBD merger, two struggling media giants would unite
Netflix has dropped out of the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), making Paramount Skydance the expected owner of WBD. A Paramount-WBD merger remains subject to regulatory approval, but it’s likely that we will see a Paramount-Skydance-Warner-Bros.-Discovery media giant. Such a conglomerate would unite two legacy media companies that have struggled with profitability for years and have strongly invested in streaming and cable. With Paramount inching closer to WBD ownership, let’s look at what the union implies […]

Featured video: Coding for underwater robotics
During a summer internship at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Ivy Mahncke, an undergraduate student of robotics engineering at Olin College of Engineering, took a hands-on approach to testing algorithms for underwater navigation. She first discovered her love for working with underwater robotics as an intern at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 2024. Drawn by the chance to tackle new problems and cutting-edge algorithm development, Mahncke began an internship with Lincoln Laboratory’s Advanced Undersea Systems and Technology Group in […]

Photons that aren’t actually there influence superconductivity
Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care about, the stuff that doesn’t require exotic refrigeration to work. Instead, it’s a story about how superconductivity can be used as a test of some of the weirder consequences of quantum mechanics, one that involves non-existent particles of light that still act like they exist. Researchers have found a way to get these virtual photons to influence the behavior of a […]

An AI agent coding skeptic tries AI agent coding, in excessive detail
An AI agent coding skeptic tries AI agent coding, in excessive detail Another in the genre of “OK, coding agents got good in November” posts, this one is by Max Woolf and is very much worth your time. He describes a sequence of coding agent projects, each more ambitious than the last – starting with simple YouTube metadata scrapers and eventually evolving to this: It would be arrogant to port Python’s scikit-learn — the gold standard of data […]
