Giving the crew only surgical masks for protection is criminally negligent.
Die Abhängigkeit von Microsoft hat einen Preis – und der steigt rasant.
Christoph Schmees zeigt: Bundesbehörden zahlten 2023 noch 274 Mio. €, 2025 schon 481 Mio. €. Mit angeschlossenen Stellen fast eine Milliarde jährlich. Transparenz? Fehlanzeige. Digitale Souveränität wäre offensichtlich günstiger.

Not that the EU is to be relied on to rein in capital.

Abstract: Acoustic echo and background noise pose challenges on speech enhancement in hands-free systems and speakerphones. Discriminatively trained end-to-end methods represent a powerful solution for joint acoustic echo control (AEC) and denoising. However, with the advent of generative methods, diffusion-based approaches have seen remarkable performance in speech enhancement tasks. In this work, to the best of our knowledge, we provide the first (still non-causal) diffusion-based AEC model (DiffVQE) that is reproducible in terms of topology, training data, and training framework. So far, without employing diffusion, Microsoft's discriminative DeepVQE model has been shown to excel any of the ICASSP 2023 AEC Challenge entries achieving remarkable performance. Using data from the Interspeech 2025 URGENT Challenge for a diverse, high-quality training dataset, our DiffVQE excels DeepVQE both in echo and noise control performance, as well as in computational complexity and model size.

Aus Bremen und Stuttgart kommend liest sich atemberaubend was Kiel für den Radverkehr schafft. So ein Tempo kannte ich bisher nicht vor meiner Tür.
"20 Stellen in der Stadt hat sich das Tiefbauamt vorgenommen, um die Radinfrastruktur 2026 umzubauen." An drei Stellen werden Parkstreifen und Fahrspuren für den Radverkehr aufgewertet. "Gut 50 kleinere und größere Projekte sind laut Stadt seit 2023 insgesamt umgesetzt oder zumindest begonnen worden."

letzten samstag bin ich bahn gefahren und hatte damit zeit, mal ein paar fachartikel von meinem stapel wegzulesen.

This Cyndi Lauper tune is probably my favorite track off this brilliant all Inuktitut cover album.

A complete synaptic map of the brain connectome of the larva of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using three-dimensional electron microscopy–based reconstruction. Node metadata include the neuron hempisphere, hemispherical homologue, cell type, annotations, and inferred cluster. Edge metadata include the type of interaction (`'aa'`,…
