Polens Außenminister wirbt für Flugverbotszone in der Ukraine
Polens Außenminister Radosław Sikorski hat nach dem Eindringen russischer Drohnen in den Luftraum seines Landes angeregt, dass der Westen russische Drohnen und Raketen schon im ukrainischen Luftraum abfängt.
"Wenn Sie mich persönlich fragen: Wir sollten darüber nachdenken", sagte Sikorski im Gespräch mit der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung über eine mögliche Flugv…

Throughput Maximization for Multiuser Communications with Flexible-Sector 6DMA
This paper presents a cost-effective and easily-deployable flexible-sector six-dimensional movable antenna (6DMA) architecture for future wireless communication networks, which enables flexible antenna configurations to match users' spatial distribution for capacity enhancement. Different from conventional sectorized base station (BS) with fixed-position antennas (FPAs), the flexible-sector 6DMA-enabled BS employs multiple directional sector antenna arrays that can flexibly move along a common …

The Role of Flexible Connection in Accelerating Load Interconnection in Distribution Networks
This paper investigates the role of flexible connection in accelerating the interconnection of large loads amid rising electricity demand from data centers and electrification. Flexible connection allows new loads to defer or curtail consumption during rare, grid-constrained periods, enabling faster access without major infrastructure upgrades. To quantify how flexible connection unlocks load hosting capacity, we formulate a flexibility-aware hosting capacity analysis problem that explicitly li…

I was trying to package #FlexiBLAS for #Gentoo, and to be honest, it doesn't look that good.
The first red flag is lack of an open bug tracker. Apparently, there is the tracker on GitLab that's limited to "members of their group and selected external contributors", but it doesn't seem to be used much. So it's "send us an email", and wonder how many people sent us the same bug report before.
The git repository is currently at something tagged 3.4.80 that seems to be prerelease, and its build system is quite broken. Not exactly the best path to verify that the bugs you are hitting are still there.
Now, upstream seems to insist on either using vendored netlib #LAPACK, or statically linking to the system library (we don't install the static libraries). Apparently I can specify the shared libraries instead, but it doesn't work — and it's unclear to me whether it doesn't work because I'm using the shared libraries, or because it doesn't support my LAPACK version. If I build LAPACK without deprecated symbols, it refuses to load it at runtime because of missing symbols. And if I build it with deprecated symbols, it fails to find some symbols at CMake time.
Honestly, I feel like I've spent too much time on this project already, especially given that its future is entirely unclear to me — the current git is quite broken, I have no clue how many issues were reported already and whether my bug reports will receive any reply. It definitely doesn't fare well for a package that we might start to rely heavily on. We don't want a cathedral there.

Spatial-Temporal Multi-Scale Quantization for Flexible Motion Generation
Despite significant advancements in human motion generation, current motion representations, typically formulated as discrete frame sequences, still face two critical limitations: (i) they fail to capture motion from a multi-scale perspective, limiting the capability in complex patterns modeling; (ii) they lack compositional flexibility, which is crucial for model's generalization in diverse generation tasks. To address these challenges, we introduce MSQ, a novel quantization method that compre…

Robust Visual Teach-and-Repeat Navigation with Flexible Topo-metric Graph Map Representation
Visual Teach-and-Repeat Navigation is a direct solution for mobile robot to be deployed in unknown environments. However, robust trajectory repeat navigation still remains challenged due to environmental changing and dynamic objects. In this paper, we propose a novel visual teach-and-repeat navigation system, which consists of a flexible map representation, robust map matching and a map-less local navigation module. During the teaching process, the recorded keyframes are formulated as a topo-me…
