In 2022, the Japanese team participated in the Aufguss World Match for the first time and won the first in 2023.

I am thinking that we are getting close to a domestic version of the March 31, 2004 Fallujah ambush but with ICE goons in lieu of Blackwater goons.

What's remarkable about this agreement is that it's plainly understood (DW is a mainstream state-owned German broadcaster) to be urgent primarily because of the energy dependency on the *USA*, a country that *cannot be relied upon*.

I hate how rapidly Intel EOL's CPUs.
Like, my office workstation has a pair of Skylake-SP's (Xeon Scalable Gold 6144) which were launched in Q3 17 and hit end of support in December 2023. That's only six years.
And Vtune 2024.x is the last version that supports it. I have to pin an old version of VTune to be able to do profiling now.
I know it's getting on in years now, but it's still a pretty decent processor (CPUMark per-core performance competitive wi…

Sometimes I don't warm to my favorite band's newest album until it's been succeeded and is only their second newest album. And so I'm finally getting into Deerhoof's Miracle-Level (2023) now that Noble and Godlike in Ruin (2025) is out.

Bei @… lief gestern "Holding Liat" über eine israelische Familie nach dem 7. Oktober. Goßartiger Film.
Liat Beinin Atzili wurde entführt und nach acht Wochen freigelassen, Aviv Atzili ermordet. Liats Vater Yehuda Beinin will Frieden, ihr Sohn Rache.
Der Film bekam letztes Jahr den Berlinale-Dokfilmpreis. Bis Mai in der Mediathek.

“Economic growth no longer linked to carbon emissions in most of the world.."
Oh really?
1) Emissions of greenhouse gases are still rising
2) The degree of decoupling is far from enough
3) for the United Kingdom, the reduction 2015-2023 was -18.41%, average
-2.51% per year. To reach net zero emissions by 2050, an annual reduction of 10% is needed.
4) Those decoupling countries are not compensating for the growth in emissions elsewhere.

Prune, Don't Rebuild: Efficiently Tuning $\alpha$-Reachable Graphs for Nearest Neighbor Search
Tian Zhang, Ashwin Padaki, Jiaming Liang, Zack Ives, Erik Waingarten
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.08097 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.08097 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.08097
arXiv:2602.08097v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Vector similarity search is an essential primitive in modern AI and ML applications. Most vector databases adopt graph-based approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search algorithms, such as DiskANN (Subramanya et al., 2019), which have demonstrated state-of-the-art empirical performance. DiskANN's graph construction is governed by a reachability parameter $\alpha$, which gives a trade-off between construction time, query time, and accuracy. However, adaptively tuning this trade-off typically requires rebuilding the index for different $\alpha$ values, which is prohibitive at scale. In this work, we propose RP-Tuning, an efficient post-hoc routine, based on DiskANN's pruning step, to adjust the $\alpha$ parameter without reconstructing the full index. Within the $\alpha$-reachability framework of prior theoretical works (Indyk and Xu, 2023; Gollapudi et al., 2025), we prove that pruning an initially $\alpha$-reachable graph with RP-Tuning preserves worst-case reachability guarantees in general metrics and improved guarantees in Euclidean metrics. Empirically, we show that RP-Tuning accelerates DiskANN tuning on four public datasets by up to $43\times$ with negligible overhead.

Nicht vergessen: morgen beginnt der FAIR February mit einer Paneldiskussion zum Thema Nachnutzung von Forschungsdaten in digitalen Editionen. 📚👾📖
Am 18.02. folgt dann eine Sitzung (die ich mit hoste 👋) zum Thema Vernetzung (von Forschungsdaten). 🌐🪡🧵💾
Wie überschneiden sich FAIR und LOD? Und wie sieht das in Hinblick auf Forschungsdaten aus? Für mich aktuell recht relevant: BEACONs. Was ist der Status quo und was geht da noch?
