Why Québec Is Right to Take On Spotify: Cultural Sovereignty in the Age of Algorithmic Homogenization
Spotiy is about to run into a real buzz saw in Quebec.

Die Botschaft, die ich aus Brüssel vom Treffen der Stromkonzerne mitbringe, ist verstörend:
Wenn auch nur ein Bruchteil des KI Energieverbrauchs entsteht, der heute prognostiziert wird, können wir die Bemühungen um Stromeinsparungen auch gleich einstellen. Das wären nicht einmal Peanuts. Dort wird in Atomkraftwerken gedacht. Was aber wird aus dem Klimaschutz?

The Yukawa potential of a non-homogeneous sphere, with new limits on an ultralight boson
Extremely weak long-range forces may lead to apparent violations of the Equivalence Principle. The final MICROSCOPE result, leading at 95 % c.l. to $|δ| < 4.5 \times 10^{-15}$ or $6.5 \times 10^{-15}$ for a positive or negative Eötvös parameter $δ$, requires taking into account the spin of the mediator, and the sign of $Δ(Q/A_r)_{\rm{Ti-Pt}}$ ($Q$ denoting the new charge involved). A coupling to $B-L$ or $B$ should verify $|g_{B-L}|<1.1 \times 10^{-25}$ or $|g_{B}&…

Curated Collaborative AI Edge with Network Data Analytics for B5G/6G Radio Access Networks
Despite advancements, Radio Access Networks (RAN) still account for over 50\% of the total power consumption in 5G networks. Existing RAN split options do not fully harness data potential, presenting an opportunity to reduce operational expenditures. This paper addresses this opportunity through a twofold approach. First, highly accurate network traffic and user predictions are achieved using the proposed Curated Collaborative Learning (CCL) framework, which selectively collaborates with releva…

FreeTacMan: Robot-free Visuo-Tactile Data Collection System for Contact-rich Manipulation
Enabling robots with contact-rich manipulation remains a pivotal challenge in robot learning, which is substantially hindered by the data collection gap, including its inefficiency and limited sensor setup. While prior work has explored handheld paradigms, their rod-based mechanical structures remain rigid and unintuitive, providing limited tactile feedback and posing challenges for human operators. Motivated by the dexterity and force feedback of human motion, we propose FreeTacMan, a human-ce…

A scalable and programmable optical neural network in a time-synthetic dimension
Programmable optical neural networks (ONNs) can offer high-throughput and energy-efficient solutions for accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) computing. However, existing ONN architectures, typically based on cascaded unitary transformations such as Mach-Zehnder interferometer meshes, face inherent scalability limitations due to spatial encoding, which causes optical components and system complexity to scale quadratically with network size. A promising solution to this challenge is the use…
