EBCDIC is incompatible with GDPR
Welcome to acronym city! The Court of Appeal of Brussels has made an interesting ruling. A customer complained that their bank was spelling the customer's name incorrectly. The bank didn't have support for diacritical marks. Things like á, è, ô, ü, ç etc. Those accents are common in many languages. So it was a little surprising that the bank didn't support them. The bank refused to spell their c…

Dynamics of Subsurface Flows in Solar Active Regions During the May 2024 Storm
In May 2024, the Sun exhibited intense magnetic activity, marked by numerous high-intensity flares resulting from the interaction and merging of NOAA ARs 13664 and 13668 in the southern hemisphere and AR 13663 in the northern hemisphere. Notably, AR 13664 displayed an extended lifetime, remaining visible after a full solar rotation and continuing to produce significant flaring activity. In this study, we investigate the evolution of sub-photospheric plasma flows associated with these ARs during…

Discovery and Localization of the Swift-Observed FRB 20241228A in a Star-forming Host Galaxy
On 2024 December 28, CHIME/FRB detected the thus-far non-repeating FRB 20241228A with a real-time signal-to-noise ratio of $>50$. Approximately 112~s later, the X-ray Telescope onboard the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory was on source, the fastest follow-up to-date of a non-repeating FRB (Tohuvavohu et al. in prep.). Using CHIME/FRB and two of the three CHIME/FRB Outriggers, we obtained a Very Long Baseline Interferometry localization for FRB 20241228A with a 1$σ$ confidence ellipse of 11$^{\pr…

Publishing's class problem
The 2024 data shows a similar picture of middle-class origin dominance of publishing. Although there are year-on-year variations, since 2019 there has consistently been more than 60% proportions of middle-class origin people in publishing occupations. In the same period, working-class origin proportions have never been above 20%.

Who is using AI to code? Global diffusion and impact of generative AI
Generative coding tools promise big productivity gains, but uneven uptake could widen skill and income gaps. We train a neural classifier to spot AI-generated Python functions in 80 million GitHub commits (2018-2024) by 200,000 developers and track how fast--and where--these tools take hold. By December 2024, AI wrote an estimated 30.1% of Python functions from U.S. contributors, versus 24.3% in Germany, 23.2% in France, 21.6% in India, 15.4% in Russia and 11.7% in China. Newer GitHub users use…

Massiver Cyberangriff auf US-Provider: Erster Einbruch schon ein Jahr früher
2024 ist mutmaßlich chinesischen Angreifern ein massiver Angriff auf US-Provider gelungen. Eine Malware wurde aber offenbar deutlich früher installiert.

„This year, over 11.7 million people applied for Schengen short-stay visas. Globally, demand rose by more than 13%.
But for African applicants, that just meant more money lost.
Analysts estimate Africans lost €60 million (around US$67.5 million) in visa fees in 2024 alone — just for rejections.“

Hybrid Ensemble of Segmentation-Assisted Classification and GBDT for Skin Cancer Detection with Engineered Metadata and Synthetic Lesions from ISIC 2024 Non-Dermoscopic 3D-TBP Images

Hybrid Ensemble of Segmentation-Assisted Classification and GBDT for Skin Cancer Detection with Engineered Metadata and Synthetic Lesions from ISIC 2024 Non-Dermoscopic 3D-TBP Images
Skin cancer is among the most prevalent and life-threatening diseases worldwide, with early detection being critical to patient outcomes. This work presents a hybrid machine and deep learning-based approach for classifying malignant and benign skin lesions using the SLICE-3D dataset from ISIC 2024, which comprises 401,059 cropped lesion images extracted from 3D Total Body Photography (TBP), emulating non-dermoscopic, smartphone-like conditions. Our method combines vision transformers (EVA02) an…

The transformative capability of quantum-accurate machine learning interatomic potentials

The transformative capability of quantum-accurate machine learning interatomic potentials
Many materials's properties and phase boundaries are generally not well known under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. This is a consequence of the scarcity of experimental information and the difficulty of extrapolating approximations to the atomic interactions in such conditions. Nguyen-Cong and colleagues, in their publication (J.Phys.Chem.Lett. 15, 1152 (2024)), achieved an impressive result using a SNAP (Spectral Neighbor Analysis Potential), an interatomic potential for carbon o…

Comparing observations of the closely located JUICE and STEREO-A spacecraft during the widespread solar energetic particle event of 2024 May 13
JUICE was launched in April 2023, and it is now in its cruise phase to Jupiter, where it is scheduled to arrive in July 2031. JUICE carries a radiation monitor, namely the RADiation hard Electron Monitor (RADEM) to measure protons, electrons, and ions, detecting particles coming mainly from the anti-Sun direction. On 2024 May 13, a large solar energetic particle (SEP) event took place in association with an eruption close to the western limb of the Sun as seen from Earth. Providentially, at tha…

A Bayesian analysis of home advantage in professional squash
We estimate the effect of playing in one's home country in professional squash using a Bayesian hierarchical model applied to men's and women's Professional Squash Association matches from 2018-2024. The model incorporates players' world rankings and whether they are competing in their home country. Using margin of victory in games as our outcome, we estimate that home advantage adds 0.4 games for men and 0.3 games for women to the expected margin, with standard errors of 0.1. For evenly matche…

Technical report on a quantum-inspired solver for simulating compressible flows
This document presents a quantum-inspired solver for 2D Euler equations, accepted at the final phase of the Airbus-BWM Group Quantum Computing Challenge (ABQCC) 2024. We tackle the case study of Quantum Solvers for Predictive Aeroacoustic and Aerodynamic modeling tasks. We propose a tensor network based solver that scales polylogarithmically with the mesh size, in both runtime and memory. This provides a promising avenue for tackling the curse of dimensionality that plagues the direct numerical…

approximately no one's noticing but stack overflow is reaching its maximum number of questions.
that's because every day, every unanswered, unupvoted, uncommentedon question older than a year gets deleted (see the big jump up on the graph in April 2024). those deletions are now neck and neck with new questions coming in on weekdays. those deletions dwarf new questions coming in on weekends, so the site's already shrinking on weekends.
