Why Meta is Betting Nearly $15 Billion on Alexandr Wang
Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg has tried to fix a seemingly existential problem in recent months. His company’s large language model, Llama, was falling behind competitors and struggling to perform as well as models from OpenAI, particularly on complex tasks. Increasingly, Zuckerberg turned ...

The feeling when you find the root cause for a problem that has been bothering you for months. And it turns out to be fixable by adding a single letter. (To turn an "unsigned long" literal into an "unsigned long long" one.) (Actually I made it use the UINT64_C() macro from <cstdint>.)
Writing portable code is hard. And thanks, Windows, for keeping "long" as 32 bits even in 64-bit code.
Now, if only Clang or gcc on Linux would warn about such po…

In situ impedance spectroscopy tests of Li$_{4-x}$Ge$_{1-x}$P$_x$O$_4$ as potential solid state electrolyte for Micro Li ion Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries employing solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are emerging as a safer and more compact alternative to conventional batteries using liquid electrolytes, especially for miniaturized energy storage systems. However, the industry-standard SSE, LiPON, imposes limitations due to its incompatibility with high-temperature processing. In this study, we investigate Li$_{4-x}$Ge$_{1-x}$P$_x$O$_4$ (LGPO), a LISICON-type oxide, as a promising alternative thin-film SSE. LGPO thin films are …

Conjugated Capabilities: Interrelations of Elementary Human Capabilities and Their Implication on Human-Machine Task Allocation and Capability Testing Procedures
Human and automation capabilities are the foundation of every human-autonomy interaction and interaction pattern. Therefore, machines need to understand the capacity and performance of human doing, and adapt their own behavior, accordingly. In this work, we address the concept of conjugated capabilities, i.e. capabilities that are dependent or interrelated and between which effort can be distributed. These may be used to overcome human limitations, by shifting effort from a deficient to a conju…

I can't tell you how weird it is as a manager to go through burnout blossoming and then sinking in to become a morass of emotional exhaustion and feelings of utter uselessness — while, in parallel, hearing feedback from my reports about how I've helped them struggle through and in most cases escape their own burgeoning burnout over the past few months
Just out here using my own body as a stick to pull my reports out of the quicksand of burnout

A Study of Non-linear Flows and Shear Banding in Wormlike Micelles Under Varying Elasticity, Flow Curvature, and Surfactant Chemistry
We report the flow dynamics of two shear-banding wormlike micellar solutions with distinct surfactant chemistries in a Taylor-Couette (TC) setup following a startup shear. The solutions, formulated with CTAB/NaSal and CPyCl/NaSal, exhibit comparable bulk rheology and equilibrium microstructural properties. By varying the TC gap size, we systematically examine elasticity number over a range of 128000-4470000, while flow curvature spans from 0.022 to 0.171. Under a step shear into the stress plat…

A comprehensive study on radial velocity signals using ESPRESSO: Pushing precision to the 10 cm/s level
We analyse ESPRESSO data for the stars HD10700, HD20794, HD102365, and HD304636 acquired via its Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) programme. We characterise the stars' radial velocity (RV) signals down to a precision of 10 cm/s on timescales ranging from minutes to planetary periods falling within the host's habitable zone (HZ). We study the RV signature of pulsation, granulation, and stellar activity, inferring the potential presence of planets around these stars. Thus, we outline the popula…

The completeness of the Deligne-Ribet monoids
Following Cornelissen, Li, Marcolli, and Smit, this short paper proves that the isomorphism of the Deligne-Ribet monoids $DR_K, DR_L$ for two number fields $K, L$ implies the field isomorphism of $K$ and $L$. Thus the Deligne-Ribet monoid $DR_K$ gives a complete invariant of the number field $K$ as in the case of the absolute Galois group $G_K$.
