More collages of public domain art
I started making some filler assets (grass etc) and found some cool carts as well. Haven't uploaded them yet but I will once I have enough

Went to see Soccer Mommy, as US-based indie musician, in Castlemaine last night because I couldn’t get to her Melbourne show. Wow, what a great concert and venue - the Theatre Royal, Castlemaine. Instead of peering over the heads of 500 people, I saw her with maybe 100 others, and with fantastic acoustics. Totally worth the extra effort to travel 90 minutes out of the big city. #livemusic

What’s rare about that cub is that it lives near a highway in BC, which isn’t exactly covered with roads.
(The blonde fur gives them an edge in salmon fishing so a recessive gene has a solid foothold in coastal BC.) https://flipboard.com/@cbcnews/techn…

Rare spirit bear cub living near B.C. highway stirs excitement, concern, as word of its existence spreads
Shelley Lindaas has long dreamed of seeing a Kermode bear cub in person. An amateur wildlife photographer based in Terrace, near B.C.'s north coast, …

This is just yet another example of what happens when #ClimateChange is ignored. A ramp-up of extreme #weather is causing #insurance companies to stop offering coverage in areas around the globe where…

Exact requirements for battery-assisted qubit gates
We consider the implementation of a unitary gate on a qubit system S via a global energy-preserving operation acting on S and an auxiliary system B that can be seen as a battery. We derive a simple, asymptotically exact expression for the implementation error as a function of the battery state, which we refer to as the it Unitary Defect. Remarkably, this quantity is independent of the specific gate being implemented, highlighting a universal property of the battery itself. We show that minimizi…

Cut Tracing with E-Graphs for Boolean FHE Circuit Synthesis
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is a promising privacy-preserving technology enabling secure computation over encrypted data. A major limitation of current FHE schemes is their high runtime overhead. As a result, automatic optimization of circuits describing FHE computation has garnered significant attention in the logic synthesis community. Existing works primarily target the multiplicative depth (MD) and multiplicative complexity (MC) of FHE circuits, corresponding to the total number of m…

The first true garden products of the season - rhubarb jam and syrup! The second is the perfect ingredient for homemade soda/cocktails on a hot summer day. In a few years, when the plants are a bit older, we'll get much more.
