MIRA: Empowering One-Touch AI Services on Smartphones with MLLM-based Instruction Recommendation
The rapid advancement of generative AI technologies is driving the integration of diverse AI-powered services into smartphones, transforming how users interact with their devices. To simplify access to predefined AI services, this paper introduces MIRA, a pioneering framework for task instruction recommendation that enables intuitive one-touch AI tasking on smartphones. With MIRA, users can long-press on images or text objects to receive contextually relevant instruction recommendations for exe…

YouTube is like heroin because it pulls you in, hooks you, and slowly drains you. It is designed to be addictive and destructive, and that is exactly why it feels so hard to step away from it.
And yes, I know the excuse, maybe your favorite dealer has not set up shop on PeerTube. But that does not change the truth of the comparison.
PeerTube is like weed, it grows more naturally, it is gentler on you, and it still gives you a high without tearing apart your health and your lif…

From Legacy Fortran to Portable Kokkos:An Autonomous Agentic AI Workflow
Scientific applications continue to rely on legacy Fortran codebases originally developed for homogeneous, CPU-based systems. As High-Performance Computing (HPC) shifts toward heterogeneous GPU-accelerated architectures, many accelerators lack native Fortran bindings, creating an urgent need to modernize legacy codes for portability. Frameworks like Kokkos provide performance portability and a single-source C++ abstraction, but manual Fortran-to-Kokkos porting demands significant expertise and …

Towards High-Performance and Portable Molecular Docking on CPUs through Vectorization
Recent trends in the HPC field have introduced new CPU architectures with improved vectorization capabilities that require optimization to achieve peak performance and thus pose challenges for performance portability. The deployment of high-performing scientific applications for CPUs requires adapting the codebase and optimizing for performance. Evaluating these applications provides insights into the complex interactions between code, compilers, and hardware. We evaluate compiler auto-vectoriz…

Apple seems to be working on adding CUDA support to open-source ML framework MLX, which may mean that code developed using MLX would work with CUDA (Malcolm Owen/AppleInsider)

PeerTube is a decentralized alternative to YouTube
that doesn't believe in harvesting user data and pushing people into echo chambers via a proprietary algorithm.
Built on open standards and federation,
it lets communities host and share video without depending on a central server.

Discovery of H$α$ Emission from a Protoplanet Candidate Around the Young Star 2MASS J16120668-3010270 with MagAO-X
2MASS J16120668-3010270 (hereafter 2MJ1612) is a young M0 star that hosts a protoplanetary disk in the Upper Scorpious star-forming region. Recent ALMA observations of 2MJ1612 show a mildly inclined disk ($i$=37$^\circ$) with a large dust-depleted gap (R$_\text{cav}\approx$0.4" or 53 au). We present high-contrast H$α$ observations from MagAO-X on the 6.5m Magellan Telescope and new high resolution sub-mm dust continuum observations with ALMA of 2MJ1612. On both 2025 April 13 and 16, we recover…

Vulnerability Patching Across Software Products and Software Components: A Case Study of Red Hat's Product Portfolio
Motivated by software maintenance and the more recent concept of security debt, the paper presents a time series analysis of vulnerability patching of Red Hat's products and components between 1999 and 2024. According to the results based on segmented regression analysis, the amounts of vulnerable products and components have not been stable; a linear trend describes many of the series well. Nor do the amounts align well with trends characterizing vulnerabilities in general. There are also visi…
