A fencing foil tip moves at roughly 62 mph. Human visual reaction time is 250 milliseconds. In epee, a double touch counts as a double touch only if both hits land within 40 ms of each other.

You are physically incapable of seeing who scored without a machine.

This is why fencing has been broadcast-hostile for its entire modern history. Five sports have appeared in every modern Olympics (fencing, athletics, cycling, swimming, gymnastics), and fencing is the only one almost no one watches outside the Games. The scoring moment happens below the threshold of human perception.

Rhizomatiks and Dentsu Lab Tokyo have been working on this since 2012. The first version used physical markers on the blade. Useless for real competition, because top fencers refuse to modify their weapons.

The markerless version is the actual engineering breakthrough. At 4K resolution, a sword tip is only a few pixels wide. The blade bends and flexes mid-strike, so the geometry is non-rigid. Traditional computer vision dies on both problems. They trained YOLO-variant deep learning models to detect the tip frame by frame and reconstruct the trajectory in AR, live, while the point is still being fought.

First real-match deployment was the 72nd All Japan Fencing Championships in 2019. It is now the core tech behind the new World Fencing League. Miles Chamley-Watson built the whole product around this tracking system and pulled in Nike, Airbnb, Mercedes, Richard Mille, and CashApp as backers. None of that happens if the scoring is invisible.

Tennis got Hawk-Eye. Baseball got pitch tracking. Golf got shot trace. Each of those turned a niche broadcast into a billion-dollar property by making the invisible visible.

Fencing was the last major sport waiting for its visualization layer.

Good @nytimes report on how genocidal language has been normalised in Israel

"Calls for Gaza to be “flattened,” “erased” or “destroyed” had been mentioned about 18,000 times since Oct. 7 in Hebrew posts on X...
The cumulative effect, experts say, has been to normalize public talk of “erasing” the people of Gaza, ethnic cleansing, and the nuclear annihilation of the territory..."

جان سے لیکن گزرے تو
آئے پھر اپنانے لوگ
جب کوئی حسرت نہ رہی
بیٹھے پیار جتانے لوگ
چادر لے کر لپکے پھر
بُن کر تانے بانے لوگ
جیتے جی پوشاک نہ دی
پہنچے ہاں کفنانے لوگ
بوجھ بٹاٹے ڈرتے تھے
پیش کریں اب شانے لوگ
قصہ پاک ہوا گرچہ
چلے ہیں گو دفنانے لوگ

I’ve developed an aversion to eating out at fancy restaurants in Lahore.

Dhabas, khokhas, thelay, road-side eateries offer abundant taste and plenty of Lahori love.

Here’s a list of some of my favourites, along with google pins. Feel free to share!
