CoCoL: A Communication Efficient Decentralized Collaborative Method for Multi-Robot Systems
Collaborative learning enhances the performance and adaptability of multi-robot systems in complex tasks but faces significant challenges due to high communication overhead and data heterogeneity inherent in multi-robot tasks. To this end, we propose CoCoL, a Communication efficient decentralized Collaborative Learning method tailored for multi-robot systems with heterogeneous local datasets. Leveraging a mirror descent framework, CoCoL achieves remarkable communication efficiency with approxim…

Extra #GrindayFriday. New album coming out from NUCLEAR DUDES, which is mostly just one dude (Jon Weisnewski, the guy from Sandrider). He makes amazing videos like they used to make back in the old timey times of 120 Minutes and MTV and such.
'Truth Paste' is the title track from the album that comes out next Friday

CSRD2025: A Large-Scale Synthetic Radio Dataset for Spectrum Sensing in Wireless Communications
The development of Large AI Models (LAMs) for wireless communications, particularly for complex tasks like spectrum sensing, is critically dependent on the availability of vast, diverse, and realistic datasets. Addressing this need, this paper introduces the ChangShuoRadioData (CSRD) framework, an open-source, modular simulation platform designed for generating large-scale synthetic radio frequency (RF) data. CSRD simulates the end-to-end transmission and reception process, incorporating an ext…

Timer wrap around strikes again:
''The root cause was traced to a software timing bug. The software function that switches the signal amplifier on and off relies on an internal timer. This timer is constantly counting up and restarts from zero once every 16 months. If the function happens to be using the timer at the exact moment it restarts, the amplifier remains switched off, and Juice’s signal is too weak to detect from Earth.'

Juice team resolves anomaly on approach to Venus
The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) is on track for its gravity-assist flyby at Venus on 31 August, following the successful resolution of a spacecraft communication anomaly that temporarily severed contact with Earth.The issue, which emerged during a routine ground station pass on 16 July, temporarily disrupted Juice’s ability to transmit information about its health and status (telemetry).Thanks to swift and coordinated action by the teams at ESA’s European Sp…

Bitcoin as an Interplanetary Monetary Standard with Proof-of-Transit Timestamping
We explore the feasibility of deploying Bitcoin as the shared monetary standard between Earth and Mars, accounting for physical constraints of interplanetary communication. We introduce a novel primitive, Proof-of-Transit Timestamping (PoTT), to provide cryptographic, tamper-evident audit trails for Bitcoin data across high-latency, intermittently-connected links. Leveraging Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN) and optical low-Earth-orbit (LEO) mesh constellations, we propose an architect…

Rainbow Noise: Stress-Testing Multimodal Harmful-Meme Detectors on LGBTQ Content
Hateful memes aimed at LGBTQ\,+ communities often evade detection by tweaking either the caption, the image, or both. We build the first robustness benchmark for this setting, pairing four realistic caption attacks with three canonical image corruptions and testing all combinations on the PrideMM dataset. Two state-of-the-art detectors, MemeCLIP and MemeBLIP2, serve as case studies, and we introduce a lightweight \textbf{Text Denoising Adapter (TDA)} to enhance the latter's resilience. Across t…
