FedTeddi: Temporal Drift and Divergence Aware Scheduling for Timely Federated Edge Learning
Federated edge learning (FEEL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients over wireless networks without exposing raw data. While most existing studies assume static datasets, in real-world scenarios clients may continuously collect data with time-varying and non-independent and identically distributed (non-i.i.d.) characteristics. A critical challenge is how to adapt models in a timely yet efficient manner to such evolving data. In this paper, we propose FedTeddi, a tempor…

Inside the Multimillion-Dollar Gray Market for Video Game Cheats
Gaming cheats are the bane of the video game industry—and a hot commodity. A recent study found that cheat creators are making a fortune from gamers looking to gain a quick edge.

plant_pol_vazquez: Vazquez & Simberloff plant-pollinator webs
Eight bipartite networks of plants and pollinators, from the Nahuel Huapi National Park and surrounding areas in Rio Negro, Argentina, from September 1999 to Feburary 2000. Edge weights represent the frequency of species interaction, and there is a common set of vertices across all eight webs.
This network has 144 nodes and 47 edges.

DSFL: A Dual-Server Byzantine-Resilient Federated Learning Framework via Group-Based Secure Aggregation
Federated Learning (FL) enables decentralized model training without sharing raw data, offering strong privacy guarantees. However, existing FL protocols struggle to defend against Byzantine participants, maintain model utility under non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data, and remain lightweight for edge devices. Prior work either assumes trusted hardware, uses expensive cryptographic tools, or fails to address privacy and robustness simultaneously. We propose DSFL, a Dual-S…

GATO: GPU-Accelerated and Batched Trajectory Optimization for Scalable Edge Model Predictive Control
While Model Predictive Control (MPC) delivers strong performance across robotics applications, solving the underlying (batches of) nonlinear trajectory optimization (TO) problems online remains computationally demanding. Existing GPU-accelerated approaches typically (i) parallelize a single solve to meet real-time deadlines, (ii) scale to very large batches at slower-than-real-time rates, or (iii) achieve speed by restricting model generality (e.g., point-mass dynamics or a single linearization…

Finished “I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom” by Jason Pargin. A Lyft driver is asked by a woman to drive her and a mysterious box across the country for $200k. The rules are that he cannot look inside, nor ask about the contents. Everything comes undone along the way in a mostly fun, pulpy thriller kind of way.
Some dark satire about anxiety, the web, social media, public discourse, incels, etc.
3.5/5 stars, rounded up to 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
