I might have spent a little too much time last night on making my #kde plasma config declarative with #nix plasma-manager - pretty happy with the emoji desktop icons and the cheat sheet tho

Niedawno przypadkiem pacnąłem w #OpenCamera tę ikonkę z symbolem aparatu i plusika, co jakoś nigdy mnie nie zainteresowała, i odkryłem, że pozwala przełączać pomiędzy różnymi obiektywami! Przede wszystkim, pozwala korzystać z "ultra szerokiego" obiektywu, który nadaje się do zdjęć z bliska, jak na przykład Ru na mojej klacie.
Wygląda na to, że Open Camera domyślnie samo przełącza p…

Performance of the Extended Ising Machine for the Quadratic Knapsack Problem
The extended Ising machine (EIM) enhances conventional Ising models, which handle only binary quadratic forms by allowing constraints through real-valued dependent variables. We address the quadratic knapsack problem (QKP), hard to solve using Ising machines when formulated as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO). We demonstrated the EIM's superiority by comparing it with the conventional Ising model-based approach, a commercial exact solver, and a state-of-the-art heuristic sol…

Programmable 200 GOPS Hopfield-inspired photonic Ising machine
Ising machines offer a compelling approach to addressing NP-hard problems, but physical realizations that are simultaneously scalable, reconfigurable, fast, and stable remain elusive. Quantum annealers, like D-Wave's cryogenic hardware, target combinatorial optimization tasks, but quadratic scaling of qubit requirements with problem size limits their scalability on dense graphs. Here, we introduce a programmable, stable, room-temperature optoelectronic oscillator (OEO)-based Ising machine with …

Marito: Structuring and Building Open Multilingual Terminologies for South African NLP
The critical lack of structured terminological data for South Africa's official languages hampers progress in multilingual NLP, despite the existence of numerous government and academic terminology lists. These valuable assets remain fragmented and locked in non-machine-readable formats, rendering them unusable for computational research and development. \emph{Marito} addresses this challenge by systematically aggregating, cleaning, and standardising these scattered resources into open, interop…

Tensor renormalization group approach to entanglement entropy
We propose a method to compute the entanglement entropy (EE) using the tensor renormalization group (TRG) method. The reduced density matrix of a $d$-dimensional quantum system is represented as a $(d+1)$-dimensional tensor network. We develop an explicit algorithm for $d=1$ that enables the calculation of EE for single-interval subsystems of arbitrary size. We test our method in two-dimensional tensor network of the Ising model. The central charge is obtained as $c=0.49997(8)$ for $D=96$, whic…
