OpenAI Leadership Responds to Meta Offers: 'Someone Has Broken Into Our Home'
As Mark Zuckerberg lures away top research talent to Meta, OpenAI executives say they're ‘recalibrating comp,’ according to an internal memo.

Ich hatte mich auf der #bibliocon25 noch gefragt, wann ich denn das letzte Mal in Bremen war bei einem Bibliothekartag. Beim Stöbern im BIB-OPUS habe ich die Antwort gefunden: 2014 war es und meine Präsentation hieß "Bibliotheken: Wir öffnen Daten. Zum Stand der Entwicklung einer offenen Dateninfrastruktur", siehe

TDCOSMO XXIII. First spatially resolved kinematics of the lens galaxy obtained using JWST-NIRSpec to improve time-delay cosmography
Spatially resolved stellar kinematics has become a key ingredient in time-delay cosmography to break the mass-sheet degeneracy in the mass profile and, in turn, provide a precise constraint on the Hubble constant and other cosmological parameters. In this paper, we present the first measurements of 2D resolved stellar kinematics for the lens galaxy in the quadruply lensed quasar system \lensname, using integral field spectroscopy from the JWST's Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec), marking the…

Depth-resolved polarisation sensitive optical coherence tomography reveals the complex microanatomical response of cartilage to compression
Conventional methods for analysing cartilage microstructure under mechanical loading are largely destructive. In this work, we evaluate the efficacy of using depth-resolved polarisation sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) to study the cartilage morphological response to compression. We show that depth-resolved PS-OCT reveals the microstructure of cartilage under load, and it can do so non-destructively, opening significant possibilities for enhanced clinical assessment of cartilage …

Improving Generalization Ability of Robotic Imitation Learning by Resolving Causal Confusion in Observations
Recent developments in imitation learning have considerably advanced robotic manipulation. However, current techniques in imitation learning can suffer from poor generalization, limiting performance even under relatively minor domain shifts. In this work, we aim to enhance the generalization capabilities of complex imitation learning algorithms to handle unpredictable changes from the training environments to deployment environments. To avoid confusion caused by observations that are not releva…

Scale-resolved turbulent Prandtl number for Rayleigh-Bénard convection at $\boldsymbol{Pr =10^{-3}}$
We present a framework to calculate the scale-resolved turbulent Prandtl number $Pr_t$ for the well-mixed and highly inertial bulk of a turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard mesoscale convection layer at a molecular Prandtl number $Pr=10^{-3}$. It builds on Kolmogorov's refined similarity hypothesis of homogeneous isotropic fluid and passive scalar turbulence, based on log-normally distributed amplitudes of kinetic energy and scalar dissipation rates that are coarse-grained over variable scales $r$ in the…

Ich zögere immer noch einen Gaming Rechner für Videobearbeitung mit #DaVinci (Studio V20) für Linux aufzusetzen.
Habt ihr Erfahrung damit? Besser doch Win11?
Und wenn wir schon dabei sind: AMD Ryzen oder Intel Prozessor? GeForce oder Radeon?
Habe mich bei Puget schon eingelesen...

DaVinci Resolve Studio: AMD Ryzen 9000 Series vs Intel Core 14th Gen
AMD's new Ryzen 9000 processors are here, but how do they compare to the previous generation Ryzen 7000 or Intel's Core 14th Gen processors in DaVinci Resolve Studio?

rare moment of honesty from cops about their politics. that being said, it's better when they feel they have to hide this allegiance, and SF sheriff is an elected position that is recallable.
