1/2 “My input stream is full of it: Fear and loathing and cheerleading and prognosticating on what generative AI means and whether it’s Good or Bad and what we should be doing. All the channels: Blogs and peer-reviewed papers and social-media posts and business-news stories. So there’s lots of AI angst out there, but this is mine. I think the following is a bit unique because it focuses on cost, working backward from there.”

Interesting idea. I would just like to be able to mine my BlueSky followings to see if they are bridgyfed so I can follow them on Mastodon which is my preferred experience rather than moving though.

HyperCard was magnificent. Still is.
The HyperTalk language was cool — but even cooler IMO was the way the dev environment mixed code with direct manipulation of the UI. There are lots of problems with that approach for generalized Ui development, yes, but the experience of it was magical.
Unity and the like have a similar editor structure — edit UI objects, attach code to them — but the feeling is totally different somehow.

Spin-lattice entanglement in $\mathbf{CoPS}_3$
Complex chalcogenides in the $M$PS$_3$ family of materials ($M$ = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) display remarkably different phase progressions depending upon the metal center orbital filling, character of the P-P linkage, and size of the van der Waals gap. There is also a stacking pattern and spin state difference between the lighter and heavier transition metal-containing systems that places CoPS$_3$ at the nexus of these activities. Despite these unique properties, this compound is under-explored. Her…

Integer-Clustering Optimization of Hydrogen and Battery EV Fleets Considering DERs
Electrified transportation leads to a tighter integration between transportation and energy distribution systems. In this work, we develop scalable optimization models to co-design hydrogen and battery electric vehicle (EV) fleets, distributed energy resources, and fast-charging and hydrogen-fueling infrastructure to efficiently meet transportation demands. A novel integer-clustering formulation is used for optimizing fleet-level EV operation while maintaining accurate individual vehicle dispat…

NAM: A Normalization Attention Model for Personalized Product Search In Fliggy
Personalized product search provides significant benefits to e-commerce platforms by extracting more accurate user preferences from historical behaviors. Previous studies largely focused on the user factors when personalizing the search query, while ignoring the item perspective, which leads to the following two challenges that we summarize in this paper: First, previous approaches relying only on co-occurrence frequency tend to overestimate the conversion rates for popular items and underestim…

Optimized and regularly repeated lattice-based Latin hypercube designs for large-scale computer experiments
Computer simulations serve as powerful tools for scientists and engineers to gain insights into complex systems. Less costly than physical experiments, computer experiments sometimes involve large number of trials. Conventional design optimization and model fitting methods for computer experiments are inefficient for large-scale problems. In this paper, we propose new methods to optimize good lattice point sets, using less computation to construct designs with enhanced space-filling properties …

Bose-Hubbard Model on a Honeycomb Superlattice: Quantum Phase Transitions and Lattice Effects
We investigate the ground-state and finite-temperature phase diagrams of the Bose-Hubbard model on a honeycomb superlattice. The interplay between the superlattice potential depth $Δ/t$ and the onsite interaction $U/t$ gives rise to three distinct quantum phases at zero temperature: a superfluid phase, a Mott insulator I phase with unit filling on each site, and a Mott insulator II phase characterized by density imbalance-double occupancy on one sublattice and vacancy on the other at unit fill…
