A trial date has been set for Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC.
On Thursday, Judge Roy K. Altman of the Southern District of Florida set a provisional start date of ⭐️February 15, 2027, for a two-week trial. 
The lawsuit was filed following the release of an episode from Panorama,
the BBC's investigative documentary series, titled
"Trump: A Second Chance?"
In it, the BBC cut together two parts of Trump's January 2021 speech to …

Date set for Trump's $10 billion lawsuit over BBC documentary
A federal judge has set the date for the president's push to punish a news organization he dislikes, again.

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.

Sounds easy, looks nice: Crossmodal transfer of auditory processing fluency to visual object preference - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics
Fluent (i.e., rapid and efficient) processing of perceptual objects is vital for humans to successfully navigate their environments. The experience of fluent processing per se tends to trigger positive affect; however, this affect is often misattributed by perceivers to the objects themselves, meaning that easy-to-perceive objects are judged more positively. These fluency-based preference effects have been robustly demonstrated unimodally, and specifically in situations in which fluency and pre…

"A floating litter trap was anchored in Cologne to monitor the amount of rubbish flowing through the Rhine. Out of almost 2,000kg captured by the trap, 15% was found to be made of plastic, and 28% was food or drink related."
There is very little need for disposable food packaging - and it's clear that reusable containers are very cost effective compared to disposables. Add to that micro plastic shedding into food and drink, with the attendant health impacts.

Abstract: Memory dominates datacenter system cost and power. Memory expansion via Compute Express Link (CXL) is an effective way to provide additional memory at lower cost and power, but its effective use requires software-level tiering for hyperscaler workloads. Existing tiering solutions, including current Linux support, face fundamental limitations in production deployments. First, they lack multi-tenancy support, failing to handle stacked homogeneous or heterogeneous workloads. Second, limited control-plane flexibility leads to fairness violations and performance variability. Finally, insufficient observability prevents operators from diagnosing performance pathologies at scale.
We present Equilibria, an OS framework enabling fair, multi-tenant CXL tiering at datacenter scale. Equilibria provides per-container controls for memory fair-share allocation and fine-grained observability of tiered-memory usage and operations. It further enforces flexible, user-specified fairness policies through regulated promotion and demotion, and mitigates noisy-neighbor interference by suppressing thrashing.
Evaluated in a large hyperscaler fleet using production workloads and benchmarks, Equilibria helps workloads meet service level objectives (SLOs) while avoiding performance interference. It improves performance over the state-of-the-art Linux solution, TPP, by up to 52% for production workloads and 1.7x for benchmarks. All Equilibria patches have been released to the Linux community.

Hi! I'm Koffietje! (Not very original, might change that later.)
Obviously, I'm a big fan of coffee! Generally black, over-steeped in a French press. But lately I've been messing around with the Moka pot.
I'm also big on Linux. My daily driver is Fedora, which seems to work incredibly well on my computers. I'm also curious about ARM & RISC-V, and have dipped my toes into BSD. Always trying to learn more, and currently I'm working on my Bash skills, tryi…
