Just seeing the lanterns can lift your spirits," he smiled.Ja: 夕暮れが訪れる頃、川沿いでは灯籠流しが始まりました。En: By the time evening approached, the toro nagashi began along the riverside.Ja: 光が水面に揺れる様子を、二人はしばらく黙って見つめていました。En: For a while, the two of them silently watched the lights flicker on the water's surface.Ja: ハルキは口を開きました。「心配し過ぎないで。みんな君のことを大切に思っているから。」En: Haruki spoke up, "Don't worry too much. Everyone cares about you."Ja: するとユキが答えました。「ありがとう、私、もっとポジティブになろうって思ったの。」En: Then Yuki responded, "Thank you, I've decided to become more positive."Ja: ソウタはお茶を注ぎながら静かに耳を傾けていました。En: Sota, while pouring tea, listened quietly.Ja: 話は深まり、ユキは自分の怖さを初めて打ち明けました。En: The conversation deepened, and Yuki admitted her fears for the first time.Ja: 「でも、こんな風に心を許して話せるのは安心。」En: "But being able to talk openly like this is reassuring."Ja: やがて夜が更け、心温まるひとときが終わろうとしていました。En: Eventually, as night advanced, their heartwarming time was drawing to an end.Ja: ユキは微笑み、決意が湧いていました。En: Yuki smiled, a new determination rising within her.Ja: 「これからの全ての時間を大切に生きる。」En: "I will cherish every moment from now on."Ja: ハルキはユキの手を優しく握り、「僕も一緒に支えるよ」と誓いました。En: Haruki gently held Yuki's hand and promised, "I'll support you together."Ja: こうして二人は、お茶屋を後にしました。En: With that, the two of them left the teahouse.Ja: 新しい希望を胸に抱え、穏やかな夜風に吹かれながら、また一歩を踏み出しました。En: Holding new hope in their hearts, they took another step forward, blown by the gentle night breeze.Ja: それは小さな変化を伴い、強い絆をさらに深めました。En: It was accompanied by a small change and further deepened their strong bond.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Every single radio amateur has come to this hobby with an itch to scratch. Time and again I've seen amateurs around me pursue that particular purpose, only to come out the other end with a look of bewilderment writ large across their face. For some amateurs it means the end of their involvement in the hobby, for others it starts a new journey into the unknown. One of the ways we explore our community is by travelling out of our shack into the big outdoors in whatever form that takes. Popular activities include setting up a radio in a location and talking to others, known colloquially as an "activation". We do this all over the planet. Perhaps the most recognisable of these is IOTA, or Islands On The Air, where a station is erected on an island and contacts are made. As amateurs we cannot help ourselves and seem to have an insatiable need to measure our prowess. We do this by counting how many contacts, callsigns, countries, grid-squares, or in this case, islands, we've managed to put in the log. If an island represents a new callsign, a new country, and a new grid-square, the contact making will turn into a feeding frenzy that can last for days, especially if the station offers multiple bands and modes, making the effort all the more tempting. We don't stop with islands. Summits, with Summits On The Air or SOTA are popular, as are Parks, POTA, and even over a weekend, the International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend, or ILLW. Some of these activations follow rules set out by amateurs like you and I, who thought it would be fun to track such activations and encourage others to participate. For example IOTA World publishes a four page document outlining what's required for those on the island, activators, and those trying to make contact, or chasers. This raises an important point. Rules require documentation, which leads to discussion and disagreement, and versions. I can show you two versions of the IOTA World rules, neither is dated, of course both are different, so if you're going to publish rules, make sure you add a date or version, preferably both, to the rules document. Disagreements aside, sometimes there are multiple programs with the same name or aims. Two groups came up with the same idea and didn't know about each other, or, a group in a different country wanted to run the show in a different way and a new group was formed. I'm mentioning this because sometimes these groups are antagonistic towards each other and have forgotten that the whole point of this is to have fun. So, what else can we activate? Well, there's Castles and Stately Homes, Bunkers, Beaches, Museums, Walmart Parking Lots and even Toilets On The Air, mind you, Slow Scan Television, or SSTV is discouraged as a mode. The other day the power was off for maintenance in my street and I planned on escaping to the local library, which caused me to search for libraries across Perth. It seems there's pretty much one in every suburb and I considered the notion of activating a library or three, comes with easy access to public transport, a car park, and even toilet facilities, what's not to like? I wondered what might be a suitable exchange so it could incorporate the library itself, promoting amateur radio and libraries, two birds and all. I made a comment on mastodon.radio and it turns out that Frank K4FMH beat me to it, several years ago. Libraries On The Air, or LiOTA. I've been hunting for a dataset of libraries in Australia to give to Frank, but it's been slim pickings, despite there being over 10,000 of them, apparently around 10% of those public. It raises another question, is there a directory of activation types anywhere? I couldn't find one, so I started a list on my GitHub repository. Feel free to add any I missed. Toilet jokes aside, consider that TOTA is being held during the annual Hackers On Planet Earth conference and it will introduce new people to our amateur community, which ultimately might be the best reason to have fun, get on-air and make noise.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we are still down a Scot, as he is still unwell. But that will not slow him down in contributing to this ep! Before we get into the main segments, we chat about Ben & Frank's latest Plastic Addiction, in the form of Transformers Blokees! Prior to chatting about the Superman Film itself, we focus on the Toy likeness compared to what the actor actually looks like! With a little Jurassic World banter in between. Then, without another moment to spare, we get right into the James Gunn driven film itself! We chat towards our Cinema experiences and start off with a non-spoiler discussion; before we head into a chat about the whole Film itself! Giving it our typical DVG rating out of 19 too. Then changing gears, we introduce a New segment - named: Variant Schmariant! We each pick two variants of a pre-existing character (in toy form) that just doesn't need to exist. We unearth some quite silly versions of characters that had a legitimate Toy Release; that clearly logic was not a concern at all!! Plus we tie a nice bow around the proposed Nick-Names for both Frank & Scot. Enjoy!!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a WEEK! Qwen-mass in July. Folks, AI doesn't seem to be wanting to slow down, especially Open Source! This week we see yet another jump on SWE-bench verified (3rd week in a row?) this time from our friends at Alibaba Qwen. Was a pleasure of mine to host Junyang Lin from the team at Alibaba to come and chat with us about their incredible release with, with not 1 but three new models! Then, we had a great chat with Joseph Nelson from Roboflow, who not only dropped additional SOTA models, but was also in Washington at the annocement of the new AI Action plan from the WhiteHouse. Great conversations this week, as always, TL;DR in the end, tune in! Open Source AI - QwenMass in JulyThis week, the open-source world belonged to our friends at Alibaba Qwen. They didn't just release one model; they went on an absolute tear, dropping bomb after bomb on the community and resetting the state-of-the-art multiple times.A "Small" Update with Massive Impact: Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507Alibaba called this a minor refresh of their 235B parameter mixture-of-experts.Sure—if you consider +13 points on GPQA, 256K context window minor. The 2507 drops hybrid thinking. Instead, Qwen now ships separate instruct and chain-of-thought models, avoiding token bloat when you just want a quick answer. Benchmarks? 81 % MMLU-Redux, 70 % LiveCodeBench, new SOTA on BFCL function-calling. All with 22 B active params.Our friend of the pod, and head of development at Alibaba Qwen, Junyang Lin, join the pod, and talked to us about their decision to uncouple this model from the hybrid reasoner Qwen3."After talking with the community and thinking it through," he said, "we decided to stop using hybrid thinking mode. Instead, we'll train instruct and thinking models separately so we can get the best quality possible."The community felt the hybrid model sometimes had conflicts and didn't always perform at its best. So, Qwen delivered a pure non-reasoning instruct model, and the results are staggering. Even without explicit reasoning, it's crushing benchmarks. Wolfram tested it on his MMLU-Pro benchmark and it got the top score of all open-weights models he's ever tested. Nisten saw the same thing on medical benchmarks, where it scored the highest on MedMCQA. This thing is a beast, getting a massive 77.5 on GPQA (up from 62.9) and 51.8 on LiveCodeBench (up from 32). This is a huge leap forward, and it proves that a powerful, well-trained instruct model can still push the boundaries of reasoning. The New (open) King of Code: Qwen3-Coder-480B (X, Try It, HF)Just as we were catching our breath, they dropped the main event: Qwen3-Coder. This is a 480-billion-parameter coding-specific behemoth (35B active) trained on a staggering 7.5 trillion tokens, with a 70% code ratio, that gets a new SOTA on SWE-bench verified with 69.6% (just a week after Kimi got SOTA with 65% and 2 weeks after Devstral's SOTA of 53%

The electric buzz of anticipation filled the air as we stepped into the venue, determined not to miss our chance at BE:FIRST merch. What followed was a night of pure magic as the seven-member Japanese pop group delivered an unforgettable performance in New York City.Standing in the merchandise line, screens displaying the concert's opening let us witness the explosive start with "Mainstream" – a perfect opener that set the tone for the night. When we finally entered the main space, what struck us immediately was how different this fan experience felt from other concerts. The crowd created a welcoming atmosphere that felt less like attending a show and more like friends gathering to enjoy music together.Each member brought their distinct personality to the stage through both performance and fashion choices. Ryoki embodied his "bad boy" image in dark green with a cap, while Ryuhei caught every eye in sparkly hot pink. Junon's fluid, graceful movements contrasted with Sota's powerful dance breaks, showcasing the group's diverse talents. What truly amazed us was experiencing their individual styles while witnessing flawlessly synchronized choreography.The intimate venue allowed for genuine connections between artists and fans. When members asked where people were from, you could hear individual responses – Boston, Colombia, Brazil, DC – creating moments impossible in stadium settings. We even spotted fans representing other fandoms, including ATINY and ARMY with their light sticks, showing a beautiful cross-fandom support system.What made this concert particularly poignant was knowing it featured all seven members, including Ryoki, who will soon depart the group. During a brief moment addressing fans, he became visibly emotional, simply stating he wants to "live life" – words that resonated deeply with everyone present.For anyone who hasn't experienced BE:FIRST live, we cannot recommend it enough. Their online presence, while impressive, doesn't capture the energy they bring to their live performance. Subscribe now for all our concert experiences and insights on the artists we love!BE:FIRST info: Instagram X YouTube officialSupport the showPlease help Music Elixir by rating, reviewing, and sharing the episode.

All this & more, Enjoy!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is consensus among SOTA listeners that we don't care for Presidential pardons. But we usually understand why certain people get pardons. Not so with Trump this week.

In Facebook, it's easy to see where your audience lives. It's harder to explain why the second and third biggest audiences for our show are not even in the US

Why did Trump pardon the Chrissleys? Why are we even still doing pardons? Where are the damn Epstein files already?! What's it really like driving a Cybertruck? Trump and Musk are having a very public breakup (finally); Shout out to the SOTA listeners in West Africa; Fox News floats "punishing" media that didn't cover Biden the right way

In an otherwise heavy week packed with Microsoft Build, Google I/O, and OpenAI io, the worst kept secret in biglab land was the launch of Claude 4, particularly the triumphant return of Opus, which many had been clamoring for. We will leave the specific Claude 4 recap to AINews, however we think that both Gemini's progress on Deep Think this week and Claude 4 represent the next frontier of progress on inference time compute/reasoning (at last until GPT5 ships this summer). Will Brown's talk at AIE NYC and open source work on verifiers have made him one of the most prominent voices able to publicly discuss (aka without the vaguepoasting LoRA they put on you when you join a biglab) the current state of the art in reasoning models and where current SOTA research directions lead. We discussed his latest paper on Reinforcing Multi-Turn Reasoning in LLM Agents via Turn-Level Credit Assignment and he has previewed his AIEWF talk on Agentic RL for those with the temerity to power thru bad meetup audio.

SOTA listener Arthur sees a double standard on the media's handling of the Qatari luxury jet story - but turns out he doesn't have all the facts

Where do they keep all the money at in banks, anyway? Financial expert Scoot brings the thunder in chat with bank president; SOTA listeners calling for heads to roll at OPSO after big jailbreak; You should be raw-dogging, not bare beating. You read that right; Once a hippie, always a hippie - Happy Birthday Susan!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we shine light on quite an old property; that is The Shadow! From its origins in Pulp Comic Format to the Hollywood Film in 1994 staring Alec Baldwin. That Film was classified big enough to spawn a corresponding Toyline from Kenner. Trent unpacks what was great, and what was left in the dark, around this neat property. Then we switch gears, and have a FULL-ON Spoiler lead discussion around the new Marvel Film that is: Thunderbolts - or New Avengers?!? We run though how each character played their part; the tone of the film & what we all overall thought of it too. Keen to hear from your thoughts on this Film too!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
