Are Foundation Models Ready for Industrial Defect Recognition? A Reality Check on Real-World Data
Foundation Models (FMs) have shown impressive performance on various text and image processing tasks. They can generalize across domains and datasets in a zero-shot setting. This could make them suitable for automated quality inspection during series manufacturing, where various types of images are being evaluated for many different products. Replacing tedious labeling tasks with a simple text prompt to describe anomalies and utilizing the same models across many products would save significant…

at the moment, everyone having a phone camera is good evidence for reality. you can have multiple angles of the same moment and check them for consistency. it's hard to synthesize that, because gen-AI is bad at continuity.
I expect this to change within 5y. it's expensive to get continuity in high-res video of a 3d scene, but it's achievable.
people will keep trying prompt-to-video, but that will never work as well as prompt-to-scene-file-to-renderer.

Benchmarking ECG Foundational Models: A Reality Check Across Clinical Tasks
The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a long-standing diagnostic tool. Yet machine learning for ECG interpretation remains fragmented, often limited to narrow tasks or datasets. Foundation models promise broader adaptability, but their generalization across diverse ECG tasks is not well understood. We benchmarked eight ECG foundation models on 26 clinically relevant tasks using 12 public datasets comprising 1,650 regression and classification targets. Models were evaluated under fine-tuning an…

Preserving Russek's "Summermood" Using Reality Check and a DeltaLab DL-4 Approximation
As a contribution towards ongoing efforts to maintain electroacoustic compositions for live performance, we present a collection of Pure Data patches to preserve and perform Antonio Russek's piece "Summermood" for bass flute and live electronics. The piece, originally written for the DeltaLab DL-4 delay rack unit, contains score markings specific to the DL-4. Here, we approximate the sound and unique functionality of the DL-4 in Pure Data, then refine our implementation to better match the unit…

Reality check. A reminder for all us geeks.
With all Gentoo, Nix, Slackware, FreeBSD shizzle (and I love it) I can tell you nothing beats the ease and completeness of Linux Mint.
Just installed LMDE 7 beta and it's amazing.
Any day of the week us geeks have to recommend this, once it is out of beta, to newcomers in Linux.
