  7. #KnowledgeByte: #Quantum #Navigation is an emerging technology that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to provide highly accurate and reliable location and navigation services, without relying on vulnerable satellite signals.

    Unlike GPS, which depends on signals from space, quantum navigation systems are self-contained and "unjammable" because they measure the movement of atoms from within a vehicle.

  12. Эксперименты с Visual SLAM и стерео камерой PS5 HD для ROS 2

    Это вторая статья из серии статей об использовании стерео камеры с ROS 2. В первой статье я рассказал о том как настроить камеру PS5 HD для использования в ROS 2. В этой статье я расскажу об использовании стерео камеры для визуального SLAM в связке с ROS 2. Конкретно мы попробуем RTAB-Map и ORB-SLAM 3. Кому интересно прошу под кат.

  13. Test flight using Quantum Sensor based navigation = success!

    "MagNav" employs quantum sensors to detect variations in Earth’s natural magnetic field and create a "map" that aircraft can use to determine their position without depending on satellite or GPS signals.

    The test = an Embraer 170 flew for 4 hours and 23 minutes over the Pacific Ocean, from Seattle to southern Alaska and back. The system improved position accuracy by 89% compared with conventional backup navigation systems. interestingengineering.com/mil #AirFlight #AirNavigation #AirCraft #Quantum #QuantumSensors #MagneticSensor #EarthMagnetism #Navigation #MagNav #GPS #Satellite #DoD

  14. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧠🐝 A University of #Colorado #Boulder team studied how #turbulence transforms odor signals as they travel.

    Using #wind tunnels, #lasers, and real-world plume measurements, they identified three ways airflow filters, spreads, and generates odor frequencies. They argue these systematic changes encode distance and direction information #animals use for olfactory #navigation.

  15. Taxi Drivers Rarely Die Of Alzheimer’s – How Complex Mental Maps And Spatial Reasoning Protect Your Brain [why knowing your way around might help you stay sharp]

    “Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease. That was the surprising result of a 2024 study examining the death certificates of nearly 9 million people in the U.S…
    Of the 9 million death certificates from January 2020 to December 2022 that researchers examined, taxi and ambulance drivers had the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer’s disease out of 443 occupations. After adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity and education, roughly 1 in 100 taxi and ambulance drivers died of Alzheimer’s, compared with 1 in 60 people overall.
    This pattern did not extend to other driving jobs. The researchers concluded that the key to reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s was not driving itself but continuous real-time navigation: the constant work of locating yourself in space, tracking a destination and updating a mental map as conditions change. Drivers whose jobs relied on fixed or predetermined routes, like bus drivers and aircraft pilots, didn’t seem to experience a similar advantage.
    Researchers believe the association between navigation-heavy work and lower Alzheimer’s risk centers on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that governs memory and spatial navigation. It’s one of the first brain regions that Alzheimer’s damages: Problems with spatial navigation and orientation are among the earliest signs of the disease, sometimes surfacing before obvious memory loss.
    In one landmark 2000 study [link above], neuroscientists compared the brains of licensed London taxi drivers with those of people who did not drive cabs. Their findings provided the first evidence via structural imaging that regions of the adult brain can measurably change under sustained navigational demand. To earn a license, London cabbies must memorize more than 25,000 streets within a 6-mile radius of Charing Cross, a challenge known as “The Knowledge” that takes three to four years…”

  16. 🚀👾 Behold, a mind-numbing attempt to compress the universe of #PyTorch into a single page of #dense gibberish. With more #metaphors than meaningful #content, you're left wondering if this article is a #tutorial or a cryptic treasure map. Good luck picking a door, because you'll need more than breadcrumbs to navigate this maze. 😂🔍

  18. Ziele der "Internationalen Organisation für Navigationshilfen in der Seeschifffahrt #IALA" sind eine #weltweit sichere #Seeschifffahrt, die Leichtigkeit des Seeschiffsverkehrs und der Schutz der Umwelt, u.a. durch die Festlegung internationaler Standards zur Harmonisierung und Verbesserung der weltweiten #Navigation auf See. In dem insgesamt 25-köpfigen Rat der IALA repräsentieren die Kolleginnen und Kollegen der #WSV Deutschland als gewähltes Ratsmitglied.

    In general, you need to differ between different methods of #informationretrieval.

    #Search vs. #navigation vs. #tags/labels vs. others + combinations such as teleportation ...

    Furthermore, you need to differ between personal retrieval, where you yourself had done some filing/#categorization/tagging process and a process where you need to retrieve something from a corpus that was not somehow curated by you yourself but by one or many peers instead (social #tagging, company file server, ...).

    And yes, in any case, your personal mental model changes over time. Therefore, it's difficult to do successful retrieval even for your personal files especially when you did not follow certain principles during the filing process.

    For example, that's why tagging is not as simple as most people think it is: karl-voit.at/2022/01/29/How-to
    or karl-voit.at/2020/12/27/taggin

  22. Bei #morlockmotors hat der Chef Michael von den USA und Kanada Detail-Karten bestellt und lässt diese in einem Flugzeug-Hangar auf dem Boden zusammenkleben, damit anwesende Piloten sehen, wie weit der Weg zum Norpol ist. 🤣 Mein Tipp dazu: Damit die Piloten das auch wirklich kapieren, wären Karten im 1:1- Maßstab so wichtig. 😆 #Bildung #Schule #Niveau #TV #Westerwald #USCars #Navigation #Maßstab
