Attached: 1 image The transmitter tower of Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Flemish Brabant, Belgium, Sometimes also called the VRT tower This building is a freestanding concrete tower for radio & television transmission and was built between 1991 and 1994 for the VRT. The concrete tower with mast is 302 meters high, has a diameter of 27 m at the base and 1.3 m at the top and is the tallest structure in Belgium. De Gregorio & Partners was responsible for the architecture. #WindowFrid…

End of an era. RIP Guppe :(

Interesting thread to get a first-hand account on the current state of LLMs for assisting US tax filings, even in complex situations. tl;dr: Very helpful for a sophisticated user that can check the output.
Another point towards my very narrow defense of LLMs, i.e., feel free to dislike LLMs for many good reasons, but please don't call them useless.

So October 15th, the extended US tax deadline, is just around the corner, and I have some observations which are more about LLM progress than taxes. Background: many people professionally involved with LLMs estimate 2026-2028 as the year where one can get an LLM to "do taxes."

Ultrathin bismuth-yttrium iron garnet films with tunable and compensated magnetic anisotropy
We report on the epitaxial growth of nm-thick films of bismuth-substituted yttrium iron garnet (BiYIG) by high-temperature off-axis radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. We demonstrate accurate control of the magnetic properties by tuning of the sputtering parameters and epitaxial strain on various (111)-oriented garnet substrates. BiYIG films with up to -0.80\% lattice mismatch with the substrate remain fully strained up to 60~nm-thick, maintaining a high crystalline quality. Transmission elec…

Low-temperature-compatible iron garnet films grown by liquid phase epitaxy
Single-crystalline yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin films (< 100 nm) form the backbone of magnonics, owing to the record-low losses affecting their magnetization dynamics. However, thin epitaxial YIG has mostly been investigated under ambient temperatures, limited by the paramagnetic losses occurring at low temperatures due to the gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrates required for epitaxial growth. Driven by a growing interest in magnonic devices that can operate in cryogenic conditions and …

Let's check in on the "Keep Boards Alive" campaign.
They have closed the main thread. It went very much off track with little to no moderation and devolved into flinging insults at each other.
