However, got the CPU, PPU, WRAM, and VRAM unsoldered (including sockets) from the NES mainboard. I'll solder the VRAM and WRAM back in later. Desoldering guns make things so much easier even if I'm an idiot on occasion.

A4FN: an Agentic AI Architecture for Autonomous Flying Networks
This position paper presents A4FN, an Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) architecture for intent-driven automation in Flying Networks (FNs) using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as access nodes. A4FN leverages Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to enable real-time, context-aware network control via a distributed agentic system. It comprises two components: the Perception Agent (PA), which semantically interprets multimodal input -- including imagery, audio, and telemetry data -- f…

Colibri: A new tool for fast-flying PDF fits
We present Colibri, an open-source Python code that provides a general and flexible tool for PDF fits. The code is built so that users can implement their own PDF model, and use the built-in functionalities of Colibri for a fast computation of observables. It grants easy access to experimental data, several error propagation methodologies, including the Hessian method, the Monte Carlo replica method, and an efficient numerical Bayesian sampling algorithm. To demonstrate the capabilities of Coli…
