The Cleveland Browns are sticking with Deshaun Watson despite the understandable conversation among their fan base and in the media that the quarterback should be benched following a season-opening loss. I anticipate that Deshaun will be our starter, coach Todd Monken announced on Monday. Monken gave his reasons for keeping Watson in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Entertaining in the cinema drama kind of way because what we have here is the NFL equivalent of a villain being given the opportunity to redeem himself and then deciding - by his actions - if he continues to be reviled based on what happens next. Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders will each get preseason starts as the Browns try to settle one of the NFL's most intriguing quarterback battles. What happened Sunday evening is Browns coach Todd Monken and general manager Andrew Berry picked Watson to be their starter over Shedeur Sanders, to culminate a competition that spanned the entire offseason and into the first two preseason games. That decision was announced to the players on Monday morning.


The late Ian Watson's sci-fi The Embedding is intriguing โ€“ but dated

New Scientist

The late Ian Watson's sci-fi The Embedding is intriguing - but dated Watson's death last month prompted sci-fi columnist Emily H. Wilson to read his acclaimed 1973 debut and find out what she'd been missing. The acclaimed British science-fiction writer Ian Watson, author of more than two dozen novels, died this April. His fame may have faded over the decades, but his debut novel The Embedding was greeted with acclaim when it was published in 1973. The Spectator declared it "the most spectacular thing in science fiction since the outstanding Solaris by Stanisล‚aw Lem". Watson's later work, both sci-fi and fantasy, included novels relating to Warhammer 40,000 games and a stint developing the script of A.I. Artificial Intelligence with Stanley Kubrick.



Something has shifted in the NFL, and it's not about the game

A Loss Function for Generative Neural Networks Based on Watson's Perceptual Model

Neural Information Processing Systems

To train Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) to generate realistic imagery requires a loss function that reflects human perception of image similarity. We propose such a loss function based on Watson's perceptual model, which computes a weighted distance in frequency space and accounts for luminance and contrast masking. We extend the model to color images, increase its robustness to translation by using the Fourier Transform, remove artifacts due to splitting the image into blocks, and make it differentiable. In experiments, VAEs trained with the new loss function generated realistic, high-quality image samples. Compared to using the Euclidean distance and the Structural Similarity Index, the images were less blurry; compared to deep neural network based losses, the new approach required less computational resources and generated images with less artifacts.


Australia's beloved weather website got a makeover - and infuriated users

BBC News

Australia's beloved weather website got a makeover - and infuriated users It was an unseasonably warm spring day in Sydney on 22 October, with a forecast of 39C (99F) - a real scorcher. The day before, the state of New South Wales had reported its hottest day in over a century, a high of 44.8C in the outback town of Bourke. But little did the team at the national Bureau of Meteorology foresee that they, in particular, would soon be feeling the heat. Affectionately known by Australians as the Bom, the agency's long-awaited website redesign went live that morning, more than a decade after the last update. Within hours, the Bom was flooded with a deluge of complaints.


Now Tech Bros Want to Disrupt Your Trip to the Grocery Store. Their Plans Aren't Pretty.

Slate

Food Does the Grocery Cart Actually Need a Makeover? The rolling basket we dump our food in hasn't changed much in almost a century, and for good reason--it works. But meddling tech gurus think they know better. In the past few decades there have been numerous incremental changes to grocery stores, like the crazed proliferation of snacks and frozen food, security cameras tracking anything that moves, and self-checkout robots flashing in panic because they can't detect your Twix bar in the bag. Carts remain the open-ceiling prison cells on wheels they were 50 years ago, and baskets don't look much different either.


DNA pioneer James Watson dies at 97

BBC News

Nobel Prize-winning American scientist James Watson has died aged 97. His co-discovery of the structure of DNA opened the door to help explain how DNA replicates and carries genetic information, setting the stage for rapid advances in molecular biology. But his honorary titles were stripped in 2019 after he repeated comments about race and intelligence. In a TV programme, he made a reference to a view that genes cause a difference on average between blacks and whites on IQ tests. The death of Watson, who co-discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, was confirmed to the BBC by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where he worked and researched for decades.
