Kris @… goes into a very important issue here (in German):
Since "AI" has become the thing to do, no cloud platform is neutral anymore (they never fully were, try hosting warez there, but for your own content they mostly were): They all "need" (as in want) to use your work as training data for their neural networks - especially work that's not "…

Eagles' Sirianni voices support for Hurts, Brown https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39610585/jalen-hurts-going-get-better-nick-sirianni-says

Jalen Hurts is 'going to get better,' Nick Sirianni says - ESPN
Following a disheartening 1-6 close to the season, Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni showed support for quarterback Jalen Hurts and his leadership style after the veteran's approach came under scrutiny as the season stumbled to its conclusion.

🍐 Consider the Pawpaw (Yum!)

Consider the Pawpaw - Belt Magazine
Not everyone knows what a pawpaw is. Until more recently, it has been discarded and forgotten, falling in and out of favor over the years. For some, it is a luscious dessert, a delightful treasure hiding in the woods. For others, it is, to say the least, an acquired taste (and texture). It is an enigma.

Getting Real – serious policies for the triple crisis.
Britain and the rest of the world face a set of almost intractable challenges, ecological (including climate), economic and social. Yet political leaders with few exceptions are failing to propose the actions and policies that could address the scale of this pancrisis. Here though, in this election year, is an alternative, a kind of manifesto with a portfolio of illustrative policies, Getting Real.

Masked Multi-Domain Network: Multi-Type and Multi-Scenario Conversion Rate Prediction with a Single Model
In real-world advertising systems, conversions have different types in nature and ads can be shown in different display scenarios, both of which highly impact the actual conversion rate (CVR). This results in the multi-type and multi-scenario CVR prediction problem. A desired model for this problem should satisfy the following requirements: 1) Accuracy: the model should achieve fine-grained accuracy with respect to any conversion type in any display scenario. 2) Scalability: the model parameter…

Noise-BERT: A Unified Perturbation-Robust Framework with Noise Alignment Pre-training for Noisy Slot Filling Task
In a realistic dialogue system, the input information from users is often subject to various types of input perturbations, which affects the slot-filling task. Although rule-based data augmentation methods have achieved satisfactory results, they fail to exhibit the desired generalization when faced with unknown noise disturbances. In this study, we address the challenges posed by input perturbations in slot filling by proposing Noise-BERT, a unified Perturbation-Robust Framework with Noise Ali…

Dear New York Times et al,
“We now see that almost all of 2023 was dominated by a legal/political story that was not only bogus but — according to prosecutors’ filings and the discredited source’s own admission to federal authorities — was a plant by the Russian intelligence services. That’s real. That requires an explanation as to how that was ever allowed to happen. It requires some effort to prevent it from happening again.”

Can DC Reporters Overcome Their Trumper Shock-Training?

From weak to strong-coupling superconductivity tuned by substrate in TiN films
The interplay between substrates and superconducting thin films has attracted increasing attention. Here, we report an in-depth investigation on superconducting properties of the epitaxial TiN thin films grown on two different substrates by dc reactive magnetron sputtering. The TiN films grown on (0001) sapphire exhibit (111) crystal orientation, while that grown on (100) Si substrates exhibit (100) orientation. Moreover, the samples grown on Si reveal a relatively lower level of disorder, acco…
