#bitBlog Using #DDEV for #Sylius Plugin Development

Using DDEV for Sylius Plugin Development | bitExpert
In this blog post, you will learn how to use DDEV for developing Sylius plugins with a custom Composer repository. By following the outlined steps, you will be able to mount the plugin directory into the DDEV environment and use it as a source for a custom Composer repository.

I'm happy to announce I will be speaking at #RustFestZurich this year. My talk is about Linon, a graphical #RustLang application I began writing during my MSc studies at @…

Interactive Exploration of Nonlinear Ray Casting with Rust and wgpu
Speaker: Niklas Korz Description Light is commonly assumed to travel linearly from source to destination. There are however cases where the path of light can be bent or distorted. In the case of black holes for example, the light is attracted by a very strong gravitational center. Heated air can change the direction of light through the varying refraction caused by the temperature transition from heat source to environment. Creating an interactive environment for exploration of such phenomena m…

Can Query Expansion Improve Generalization of Strong Cross-Encoder Rankers?
Query expansion has been widely used to improve the search results of first-stage retrievers, yet its influence on second-stage, cross-encoder rankers remains under-explored. A recent work of Weller et al. [44] shows that current expansion techniques benefit weaker models such as DPR and BM25 but harm stronger rankers such as MonoT5. In this paper, we re-examine this conclusion and raise the following question: Can query expansion improve generalization of strong cross-encoder rankers? To answe…

Anyway, much better choice (even if I am missing the floor seats to watch my democracy slip away).
