"You conservatives tried to kill woke, only for it to mount an impressive comeback," he added. "I hope that leaves you triggered, and I hope no one offers you sympathy for it."

Cache-to-Cache: Direct Semantic Communication Between Large Language Models
Multi-LLM systems harness the complementary strengths of diverse Large Language Models, achieving performance and efficiency gains unattainable by a single model. In existing designs, LLMs communicate through text, forcing internal representations to be transformed into output token sequences. This process both loses rich semantic information and incurs token-by-token generation latency. Motivated by these limitations, we ask: Can LLMs communicate beyond text? Oracle experiments show that enric…

TLoRa: Implementing TLS Over LoRa for Secure HTTP Communication in IoT
We present TLoRa, an end-to-end architecture for HTTPS communication over LoRa by integrating TCP tunneling and a complete TLS 1.3 handshake. It enables a seamless and secure communication channel between WiFi-enabled end devices and the Internet over LoRa using an End Hub (EH) and a Net Relay (NR). The EH tethers a WiFi hotspot and a captive portal for user devices to connect and request URLs. The EH forwards the requested URLs to the NR using a secure tunnel over LoRa. The NR, which acts as a…

Cinemas, unions sound alarms over Netflix deal
For Netflix, having films launch on its platform allows the company to attract new users, as well as keep existing customers engaged.
But that stance has led to a testy relationship between Netflix and some exhibitors, which have pushed in general for more films to be released on the big screen.
Theater owner trade group Cinema United has voiced staunch opposition to the deal, saying it represented an “unprecedented threat to…

Integrated Sensing, Communication, and Positioning in Cellular Vehicular Networks
In this correspondence, a novel integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) framework is proposed to accomplish data communication, vehicle positioning, and environment sensing simultaneously in a cellular vehicular network. By incorporating the vehicle positioning problem with the existing computational-imaging-based ISAC models, we formulate a special integrated sensing, communication, and positioning problem in which the unknowns are highly coupled. To mitigate the rank deficiency and make i…
