C'est tellement triste que la culture québécoise peut disparaître comme ça. Tellement de bons matériels qui est disponible absolument absolument nulle part. Souvent la seule place pour trouver certaines choses sont sur les sites pirates, et quand le site ferme beaucoup disparait. Je pense pas que l'entreprise privée peut régler ce genre de problème ça prend du leadership au gouvernement.

Internet Service Providers Plan to Subvert Net Neutrality. Don’t Let Them
In the absence of strong net neutrality protections, internet service providers (ISPs) have made all sorts of plans that would allow them to capitalize on something called "network slicing." While this technology has all sorts of promise, what the ISPs have planned would subvert net neutrality—the...

Progressive-Proximity Bit-Flipping for Decoding Surface Codes
Topological quantum codes, such as toric and surface codes, are excellent candidates for hardware implementation due to their robustness against errors and their local interactions between qubits. However, decoding these codes efficiently remains a challenge: existing decoders often fall short of meeting requirements such as having low computational complexity (ideally linear in the code's blocklength), low decoding latency, and low power consumption. In this paper we propose a novel bit-flippi…

DISL: Fueling Research with A Large Dataset of Solidity Smart Contracts
The DISL dataset features a collection of $514,506$ unique Solidity files that have been deployed to Ethereum mainnet. It caters to the need for a large and diverse dataset of real-world smart contracts. DISL serves as a resource for developing machine learning systems and for benchmarking software engineering tools designed for smart contracts. By aggregating every verified smart contract from Etherscan up to January 15, 2024, DISL surpasses existing datasets in size and recency.

Myanmar: Many want to escape compulsory military service and flee to Thailand
Ever since Myanmar's military announced it is implementing conscription to fill its ranks, Thwel sees very few options. The 25-year-old schoolteacher in Myanmar’s southern Mon state believes she must flee the country or face fatal consequences. She's a supporter of the Civil Disobedience Movement, which carries out nonviolent resistance to military rule. Crowds of people have thronged to get passports and visas to neighboring Thailand in the two weeks since the government activated a law maki…
