  1. University of Florida: Simple visual patterns can trick AI-powered vehicles and robots, UF research finds. “A simple pattern of black-and-white stripes could cause an autonomous vehicle or robot to misjudge how far away an obstacle is, potentially triggering an unexpected maneuver or even a collision, according to new University of Florida research.”

  21. #LawAndOrder operates as a #dogwhistle by conveying a seemingly neutral message that resonates differently with various audiences. For many, it suggests a commitment to #publicsafety and the #enforcement of laws. However, for others, particularly #marginalized communities, it signals a call for increased policing and harsher penalties, often disproportionately affecting Black and Latinx individuals.

    “News story in [September 2th 2026] [Canadian newspaper] ‘The Globe and Mail’ [link above] regarding the lack of data to support assessments of wildfire risk. Article entitled: Canadians are in the dark about their wildfire risk.
    Just a note for those interested in national forest datasets that can be used to inform on forest conditions especially as pertains to wildfire risk, numerous facets of forests (land cover, species, structure, change, likelihood to burn) can be found here: opendata.nfis.org/mapserver/nf
    These satellite-derived integrated open access datasets are spatially exhaustive over the 650 million Ha forest dominated ecosystems of Canada. While possibly not on target for the authors' use case, many information needs and questions can be satisfied with these data. Most datasets are pixel based (30 x 30 m cells, about 1/10th of a Ha), but there is also a polygon-based, forest-inventory-like database (SBFI) a form possibly more familiar to modelers…”

    “Experts and politicians are endorsing a national strategy on wildfire hazard mapping [across Canada], but the process would be far from simple…
    [T]he scale of the danger is largely invisible to most Canadians until it’s too late. Though some wildfire hazard mapping is publicly available in B.C., there is a patchwork of incomplete data. And in the rest of the country, such information is virtually non-existent…
    Experts warn that a failure by governments to make detailed hazard mapping publicly available has left towns and cities across the country more vulnerable to the threat of extreme wildfires. Without the information, communities continue to build new housing in high-hazard areas even as critical mitigation efforts are frequently delayed...
    But some critics worry governments may not be up to the complicated task. And even when there is an earnest effort to improve public data, officials can face significant backlash as property owners fear financial consequences. Fire officials in Oregon [USA] were forced to largely abandon detailed hazard mapping after trying to make better information publicly available.
    There is no denying the trendline: Climate change is driving wildfires that are faster and hotter than ever before, and disasters like the Bald Range fire are becoming more common. Are Canadians ready to open their eyes to the risk?...”
