Cluely's rapid ascend may be challenged by free copycat products.

"So let’s get one thing out of the way: I think “AI literacy” is a dangerous device of neoliberal education and it deserves to be dismissed out of hand."
"Using AI is not about communicating. It’s about avoiding communicating. It’s about not reading, not writing, not drawing, not seeing. It’s about ceding our powers of expression and comprehension to digital apps that will cushion us from fully participating in our own lives."

Against AI literacy: have we actually found a way to reverse learning?

Spatially Correlated multi-RIS Communication: The Effect of Inter-Operator Interference
A multi-operator wireless communication system is studied where each operator is equipped with a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) to enhance its communication quality. RISs controlled by different operators affect the system performance of one another due to the inherently rapid phase shift adjustments that occur on an independent basis. The system performance of such a communication scenario is analytically studied for the practical case where spatial correlation occurs at RIS of arbit…

EcoLoRA: Communication-Efficient Federated Fine-Tuning of Large Language Models
To address data locality and privacy restrictions, Federated Learning (FL) has recently been adopted to fine-tune large language models (LLMs), enabling improved performance on various downstream tasks without requiring aggregated data. However, the repeated exchange of model updates in FL can result in prohibitively high communication costs, hindering the distributed learning process. To address this challenge, we propose EcoLoRA, a novel communication-efficient federated fine-tuning framework…

Model Splitting Enhanced Communication-Efficient Federated Learning for CSI Feedback
Recent advancements have introduced federated machine learning-based channel state information (CSI) compression before the user equipments (UEs) upload the downlink CSI to the base transceiver station (BTS). However, most existing algorithms impose a high communication overhead due to frequent parameter exchanges between UEs and BTS. In this work, we propose a model splitting approach with a shared model at the BTS and multiple local models at the UEs to reduce communication overhead. Moreover…

Viele Menschen verstehen #Warnungen wie „#Hitzeindex“ oder „#Hitzewarnung“ falsch. Das zeigt eine US-Studie.
Fast die Hälfte hält den Hitzeindex für die reine

Bridging the Gap between National Weather Service Heat Terminology and Public Understanding
Abstract Clearly communicating heat warning information to the public is an important way to reduce heat mortality and morbidity. However, heat communication interventions from the National Weather Service commonly include technical and scientific terms, otherwise known as jargon. These terms, such as heat advisory or heat index, may not be understood by the public. Given the importance of message understanding in protective action decision-making, the purpose of this study is to assess how the…

Uniqueness of phase retrieval from offset linear canonical transform
The classical phase retrieval refers to the recovery of an unknown signal from its Fourier magnitudes, which is widely used in fields such as quantum mechanics, signal processing, optics, etc. The offset linear canonical transform (OLCT), which is a more general type of linear integral transform including Fourier transform (FT), fractional Fourier transform (FrFT), and linear canonical transform (LCT) as its special cases. Hence, in this paper, we focus on the uniqueness problem of phase retrie…
