Hat jemand die neue Identitätsprüfung von Intrum beim SwissPass schon ausprobiert und die Datenschutz-Regeln angeschaut?
Wäre interessiert zu wissen, was Intrum mit den Ausweiskopien und Selfies machen darf, ob da z.B. eine "konzerninterne Weiterverwendung" enthalten ist...

SwissPass setzt auf digitale Identitätsprüfung von Intrum
SwissPass nutzt neu eine digitale Identitätsprüfung von Intrum. Die Lösung sorgt für eine sichere, benutzerfreundliche Verifikation von Ausweisen – datenschutzkonform und effizient. Sie ist Teil einer langfristigen Partnerschaft im Bereich Digital Onboarding.

Investigation of tantalum films growth for coplanar resonators with internal quality factors above ten million
Alpha-tantalum on silicon is a promising platform for high-coherence superconducting quantum circuits. However, the growth mechanism of alpha-tantalum on silicon remains poorly understood. We present a comprehensive study on alpha-tantalum films growth on various substrate. The decisive role of a substrate material Debye temperature on phase selection mechanism in tantalum films growth is experimentally confirmed, contradicting the prior assumptions on substrate temperature influence. Crucially…

The United Nations General Assembly will convene its September session in Geneva instead of New York,
following the United States’ refusal to grant entry visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and dozens of senior Palestinian officials
President Abbas is expected to address the Assembly in Geneva,
where he will call for international protection, recognition of Palestinian sovereignty,
and accountability for war crimes.
The Geneva session is expected to amp…

This is only true for some flavors of "big accounts."
A number of the people I follow with thousands of followers are ONLY on the #Fediverse and most of the rest are only here and on Bluesky. I routinely block people here and on Bluesky (and across the bridge) who pull in the sewage from X and dump it in either place.
I'm not really interested in following people that wa…

IFDECORATOR: Wrapping Instruction Following Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) improves instruction following capabilities of large language models (LLMs), but suffers from training inefficiency due to inadequate difficulty assessment. Moreover, RLVR is prone to over-optimization, where LLMs exploit verification shortcuts without aligning to the actual intent of user instructions. We introduce Instruction Following Decorator (IFDecorator}, a framework that wraps RLVR training into a robust and sample-efficient pipeline…

An information metric for comparing and assessing informative interim decisions in sequential clinical trials
Group sequential designs enable interim analyses and potential early stopping for efficacy or futility. While these adaptations improve trial efficiency and ethical considerations, they also introduce bias into the adapted analyses. We demonstrate how failing to account for informative interim decisions in the analysis can substantially affect posterior estimates of the treatment effect, often resulting in overly optimistic credible intervals aligned with the stopping decision. Drawing on infor…

Read the Room: Inferring Social Context Through Dyadic Interaction Recognition in Cyber-physical-social Infrastructure Systems

Read the Room: Inferring Social Context Through Dyadic Interaction Recognition in Cyber-physical-social Infrastructure Systems
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) integrate sensing, computing, and control to improve infrastructure performance, focusing on economic goals like performance and safety. However, they often neglect potential human-centered (or ''social'') benefits. Cyber-physical-social infrastructure systems (CPSIS) aim to address this by aligning CPS with social objectives. This involves defining social benefits, understanding human interactions with each other and infrastructure, developing privacy-preserving me…

Following a discussion on reddit of all places, here's a poll. Please spread far and wide because [garbled audio, static, unintelligible noises]
The question is: do you normally listen to and enjoy audiobooks?
Also, this is what I mean by "inner monologue" (sorry it's not WP but that page terrifies me)

How Inner Monologues Work, and Who Has Them
Inner monologues can represent a rich experience for some, as long as they don’t get out of hand.
