Tootfinder

Typical me:
1. You're waiting for something at dayjob, so you start doing some TODOs from #Gentoo.
2. In the meantime, new kernels are releases, so you do them instead.
3. Back to dayjob, busy for the whole day.
4. Near evening, you recall that you've started a bunch of things for Gentoo, so you take a break and start doing them instead.
5. You are so tired you defer the rest of dayjob to tomorrow.
6. You recall it's #BandcampFriday, and you were supposed to buy something.
But duty fulfilled!
I just now need to remember to unpack them when they're finally done downloading, because of course I'm fetching to /tmp.

Unveiling Interesting Insights: Monte Carlo Tree Search for Knowledge Discovery
Organizations are increasingly focused on leveraging data from their processes to gain insights and drive decision-making. However, converting this data into actionable knowledge remains a difficult and time-consuming task. There is often a gap between the volume of data collected and the ability to process and understand it, which automated knowledge discovery aims to fill. Automated knowledge discovery involves complex open problems, including effectively navigating data, building models to e…

Signal processing and data acquisition system for the BTO detectors onboard COSI
The energy range from a few hundred keV to a few MeV includes important probes such as nuclear gamma-rays and the 511 keV annihilation line. However, compared to X-rays and GeV/TeV gamma-rays, this range suffers from lower sensitivity by orders of magnitude. The upcoming NASA SMEX satellite mission Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI), scheduled for launch in 2027, is expected to break through this limitation with its Compton telescope utilizing a germanium semiconductor detector, covering th…

Improving User Interface Generation Models from Designer Feedback
Despite being trained on vast amounts of data, most LLMs are unable to reliably generate well-designed UIs. Designer feedback is essential to improving performance on UI generation; however, we find that existing RLHF methods based on ratings or rankings are not well-aligned with designers' workflows and ignore the rich rationale used to critique and improve UI designs. In this paper, we investigate several approaches for designers to give feedback to UI generation models, using familiar intera…

Prospects of Constraining Equilibrium Tides in Low-Mass Binary Stars
The dynamical evolution of short-period low-mass binary stars (with mass $M < 1.5M_{\odot}$, from formation to the late main-sequence, and with orbital periods less than $\sim$10 days) is strongly influenced by tidal dissipation. This process drives orbital and rotational evolution that ultimately results in circularized orbits and rotational frequencies synchronized with the orbital frequency. Despite the fundamental role of tidal dissipation in binary evolution, constraining its magnitude of …
