Thank god we can find and intercept lost hikers as they mistakenly run away from rescue in dense forest!
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.
I mean, yeah, but this is such a reductive take. Many of the books showcased here *have* been challenged and even removed from libraries in the U.S. over the years. It’s important we read them and think critically about why the content is/has been suppressed.

fact is you guys played around in english class your entire lives, not taking it seriously, reading the materials through online plot summaries and now you wonder why you don’t actually understand anything
What’s scary is that these have been being approved through normal, lengthy bureaucratic channels for years, you just didn’t realize it. Good news is the contracts go up for renewal!

The Grand Hotel on Mackinac is the closest I've been to a plantation, with a bunch of Black workers shipped in from the Caribbean tending to almost entirely white guests, and some discomfort for non-white culture (such as wearing a formal sari to dinner).
So...

FUN FACT: Mitch McConnell has been on paid medical leave for 51 days now. That's over 7 weeks.
This is a week longer than the 6 weeks of maternity leave that women in the US are not guaranteed after giving birth.

this is a good example of how population health cannot be secured individually
health cannot be a personal responsibility when the conditions for health do not exist
when you lack safe food, clean air, or clean water, individual choices cannot save you
