Our coffee machine died this morning. That makes 4 Kuerig machines in 9 years, and our last one ever. We ordered an 8-cup drip maker with carafe this morning. No more feeling guilty about using pods (I'm sorry, Mother Earth), cost per cup will be cheaper, I can control my flavor and strength, and the coffee grounds are great in our compost. Yes, it took me a decade to figure out I was a slave to convenience and waste. No judging, please.

CBF-AFA: Chunk-Based Multi-SSL Fusion for Automatic Fluency Assessment
Automatic fluency assessment (AFA) remains challenging, particularly in capturing speech rhythm, pauses, and disfluencies in non-native speakers. We introduce a chunk-based approach integrating self-supervised learning (SSL) models (Wav2Vec2, HuBERT, and WavLM) selected for their complementary strengths in phonetic, prosodic, and noisy speech modeling, with a hierarchical CNN-BiLSTM framework. Speech is segmented into breath-group chunks using Silero voice activity detection (Silero-VAD), enabl…

Discussions during the current #IETF meeting led me to write a new draft on a compact CoAP URI expression, Short Paths In CoAP (ShoPinC, following the trade tradition of contrived acronyms).
As not all of the #CoAP crowd is reading the IETF lists, I'm soliciting opinions or feedback from here as well.…

Short Paths in CoAP
Applications built on CoAP face a conflict between the technical need for short message sizes and the interoperability requirement of following BCP190 and thus registering (relatively verbose) well-known URI paths. This document introduces an option that allows expressing well-known paths in as little as two bytes.

Leider werden viele Leute keinen Widerspruch bei Meta eingelegt haben gegen die KI-Verwendung ihrer Facebook/Instagram-Daten, weil sie dachten "Boah, schon wieder so ein nutzloser Ich-widerspreche Post der nicht funktioniert."
Bin da wohl nicht ganz unschuldig dran, hab vor 11 Jahren einen Scherz gepostet, den viele nicht erkannten (siehe ab Zeile 10)

Yesterday managed to see at least a half dozen bands for #Kenmore Porchfest (#Buffalo). I only remembered to take one pic (at this RAtM cover band, Anger Is a Gift). They did a great job and the hosts had a cooler of water for everyone.
Kudos to everyone involved in the day.

A small front yard with a smaller tent failing to cover a four-piece band as a crowd extends down a few houses and well into the street. People are standing, sitting in camp chairs, lying on grass, chatting, and generally enjoying the sun and music.

Found an app called “Octave Coffee”. It’s an opinionated timer for pourover coffee. Tells you how much to pour, then how much to wait, and so on. And it has a cute pixel art kitty.
The problem is… it negs you while doing it, and your reward at the end for following the instructions is the message, “You actually listened. Shocking.”
I did it twice. It doesn’t vary.
So… I’m deleting it, even though I found it useful, because I don’t want to be insulted first thing in the morn…
