DarTwin made precise by SysMLv2 -- An Experiment
The new SysMLv2 adds mechanisms for the built-in specification of domain-specific concepts and language extensions. This feature promises to facilitate the creation of Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) and interfacing with existing system descriptions and technical designs. In this paper, we review these features and evaluate SysMLv2's capabilities using concrete use cases. We develop DarTwin DSL, a DSL that formalizes the existing DarTwin notation for Digital Twin (DT) evolution, through SysMLv…

LiteVPNet: A Lightweight Network for Video Encoding Control in Quality-Critical Applications
In the last decade, video workflows in the cinema production ecosystem have presented new use cases for video streaming technology. These new workflows, e.g. in On-set Virtual Production, present the challenge of requiring precise quality control and energy efficiency. Existing approaches to transcoding often fall short of these requirements, either due to a lack of quality control or computational overhead. To fill this gap, we present a lightweight neural network (LiteVPNet) for accurately pr…

A Broadcast Channel Framework for MIMO-OFDM Integrated Sensing and Communication
Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is expected to be one of the major features of 6G wireless networks. In an ISAC system, communications and sensing functionalities are jointly performed using the same waveform, frequency band and hardware, thereby enabling various use cases such as in cyber physical systems, digital twin and smart cities. A major challenge to the design and analysis of ISAC is a unified framework that incorporates the two distinct functions. By viewing ISAC as a type…

Asymptotically rigid mapping class groups III: Presentations and isomorphisms
This article is dedicated to the computation of an explicit presentation of some asymptotically rigid mapping class groups, namely the braided Higman-Thompson groups. To do so, we use the action of these groups on the spine complex, a simply connected cube complex constructed by the authors in a previous work. In particular, this allows to compute the abelianisations of these groups. With these new algebraic invariants we can handle many new cases of the isomorphism problem for asymptotically r…

Imagine ChatGPT but instead of predicting text it just linked you to the to 3 documents most-influential on the probabilities that would have been used to predict that text.
Could even generate some info about which parts of each would have been combined how.
There would still be issues with how training data is sourced and filtered, but these could be solved by crawling normally respecting robots.txt and by paying filterers a fair wage with a more relaxed work schedule and mental health support.
The energy issues are mainly about wild future investment and wasteful query spam, not optimized present-day per-query usage.
Is this "just search?"
Yes, but it would have some advantages for a lot of use cases, mainly in synthesizing results across multiple documents and in leveraging a language model more fully to find relevant stuff.
When we talk about the harms of current corporate LLMs, the opportunity cost of NOT building things like this is part of that.

Brutal similes
Using #AI is an ethical choice.
I know that there cases when an #LLM could make my job easier. Which doesn't mean I'll use one. Just like I won't be buying cheap junk gadgets that could help me with some random stuff a bunch of times before they'll end up on a trash pile.
Yes, sometimes I am curious what an LLM could come up with. But then, there are people who are curious how many donuts they can eat before throwing up. A waste of good donuts.
What world would you rather live in? One where you put a little more effort in your job? Or one where LLM helps with with your job, but you can't enjoy your free time anymore because the capitalists are using LLMs to turn every single aspect of your life into a nightmare, and eventually your employer just makes you do more and more until you're thrown out? But at least you will get a monthly trial of a statistical "friend" to "talk" about your trouble to.
Yeah, you can claim that training models does the most harm, and that's already happened, so not using them doesn't change much, and all the energy spent on it would be wasted. Or use the traditional "others" fallacy — others will use it anyway, others will fuel the vicious circle, so why renounce convenience. It's like when you learn that your dinner is human meat, and you decide to eat it anyway, because not eating it won't bring that human back to life, and if it's wasted, then their death will be for naught.

In epidemiology, some have argued that multiple comparison corrections are not necessary as there is rarely interest in the universal null hypothesis. From a parameter estimation perspective, epidemiologists may still be interested in multiple parameters. In this context, standard confidence intervals are not guaranteed to provide simultaneous coverage of more than one parameter. In other words, use of confidence intervals in these cases will understate the uncertainty due to random error. To a…

The whole thing is optimized for scams, deception and other criminal behavior:
- user interface that deceptively pretends it's a human you're talking to
- claims from companies highly exaggerate capabilities
companies and "experts" constantly hype "AGI" which they (funnily enough) do to both make investors greedier and spread fear and as a distraction because these algorithms can't actually do what they keep promising
- large-scale accounting and financial fraud (e.g. what Nvidia is doing with circular selling)
- biggest case of copyright infringement in history
Note: I think the underlying technology is really cool, and definitely has use cases and can be used for actually good things. But: some technology just has more downsides than upsides, and some should only be used by experts in controlled environments. Leaded gasoline, asbestos and chlorofluorocarbon are also all really cool technology.
In this case perhaps the techology itself doesn't do anything inherently bad, however the people making it are lying about what it can do, the people selling it are motivated purely by greed and the people using it (often forced to do so) are being deceived.

We prove its very ampleness for $g\geq 7$. In the cases of genus 7 or 8, we describe in detail the projective geometry of the corresponding embedding by making use of the Mukai model for $S$. In both cases, it can be realized as a degeneracy locus on an ambient homogeneous space, in a strikingly…

Spin-orbit coupling and the Edelstein effect at conducting ferroelectric domain walls
Head-to-head ferroelectric domain walls are intrinsically charged, and are typically compensated by a mix of oppositely charged defects and free electrons. The free electrons form a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) along the domain wall. In many cases, inversion symmetry is broken at the wall, which implies that the 2DEG is subject to nontrivial spin-orbit coupling. Here, we use symmetry arguments to construct a generic six-band tight-binding electronic Hamiltonian for a $90^\circ$ head-to-h…

Detecting Notational Errors in Digital Music Scores
Music scores are used to precisely store music pieces for transmission and preservation. To represent and manipulate these complex objects, various formats have been tailored for different use cases. While music notation follows specific rules, digital formats usually enforce them leniently. Hence, digital music scores widely vary in quality, due to software and format specificity, conversion issues, and dubious user inputs. Problems range from minor engraving discrepancies to major notation mi…

Economic Competition, EU Regulation, and Executive Orders: A Framework for Discussing AI Policy Implications in CS Courses
The growth and permeation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across society has drawn focus to the ways in which the responsible use of these technologies can be facilitated through AI governance. Increasingly, large companies and governments alike have begun to articulate and, in some cases, enforce governance preferences through AI policy. Yet existing literature documents an unwieldy heterogeneity in ethical principles for AI governance, while our own prior research finds that disc…

Indoor/Outdoor Spectrum Sharing Enabled by GNSS-based Classifiers
The desirability of the mid-band frequency range (1 - 10 GHz) for federal and commercial applications, combined with the growing applications for commercial indoor use-cases, such as factory automation, opens up a new approach to spectrum sharing: the same frequency bands used outdoors by federal incumbents can be reused by commercial indoor users. A recent example of such sharing, between commercial systems, is the 6 GHz band (5.925 - 7.125 GHz) where unlicensed, low-power-indoor (LPI) users s…

In Numeris Veritas: An Empirical Measurement of Wi-Fi Integration in Industry
Traditional air gaps in industrial systems are disappearing as IT technologies permeate the OT domain, accelerating the integration of wireless solutions like Wi-Fi. Next-generation Wi-Fi standards (IEEE 802.11ax/be) meet performance demands for industrial use cases, yet their introduction raises significant security concerns. A critical knowledge gap exists regarding the empirical prevalence and security configuration of Wi-Fi in real-world industrial settings. This work addresses this by mini…

Standardized Machine-Readable Point-Data Format for Consolidating Wireless Propagation Across Environments, Frequencies, and Institutions
The necessity of new spectrum for 6G has intensified global interest in radio propagation measurements across emerging frequency bands, use cases, and antenna types. These measurements are vital for understanding radio channel properties in diverse environments, and involve time-consuming and expensive campaigns. A major challenge for the effective utilization of propagation measurement data has been the lack of a standardized format for reporting and archiving results. Although organizations s…

I became a US citizen yesterday!
4 years in the making, a dream for much longer than that. I was fortunate to have one of the fastest routes to citizenship and to have mostly experienced a very smooth process with lovely immigration agents who processed my cases with respect and dignity.
I spent the last 9 months living in fear, watching immigrants get demonized and even permanent residency (green cards) to be treated as “a privilege” to be revoked at whim.
I've been quiet, afraid to say anything in public that could be misinterpreted or used against me.
I've repeatedly said goodbye to my city, I've cried walking my favorite streets, bracing for the worst as top officials bragged about getting rid of immigrants and "cleaning up" the country as if we were filth.
Now, I intend to find ways to use my citizenship for the greater good and to be civically engaged in ways not available to people here on visas and green cards, affected but forced to suffer in silence. I am looking forward to discovering what that will look like for me.

Community Covert Communication - Dynamic Mass Covert Communication Through Social Media
Since the early 2010s, social network-based influence technologies have grown almost exponentially. Initiated by the U.S. Army's early OEV system in 2011, a number of companies specializing in this field have emerged. The most (in)famous cases are Bell Pottinger, Cambridge Analytica, Aggregate-IQ and, more recently, Team Jorge. In this paper, we consider the use-case of sock puppet master activities, which consist in creating hundreds or even thousands of avatars, in organizing them into comm…

Perceptions of AI Across Sectors: A Comparative Review of Public Attitudes
This paper offers a domain-mediated comparative review of 251 studies on public attitudes toward AI, published between 2011 and 2025. Drawing on a systematic literature review, we analyse how different factors including perceived benefits and concerns (or risks) shape public acceptance of - or resistance to - artificial intelligence across domains and use-cases, including healthcare, education, security, public administration, generative AI, and autonomous vehicles. The analysis highlights recu…

Protocol-Aware Firmware Rehosting for Effective Fuzzing of Embedded Network Stacks
One of the biggest attack surfaces of embedded systems is their network interfaces, which enable communication with other devices. Unlike their general-purpose counterparts, embedded systems are designed for specialized use cases, resulting in unique and diverse communication stacks. Unfortunately, current approaches for evaluating the security of these embedded network stacks require manual effort or access to hardware, and they generally focus only on small parts of the embedded system. A pro…

The Provenance Problem: LLMs and the Breakdown of Citation Norms
The increasing use of generative AI in scientific writing raises urgent questions about attribution and intellectual credit. When a researcher employs ChatGPT to draft a manuscript, the resulting text may echo ideas from sources the author has never encountered. If an AI system reproduces insights from, for example, an obscure 1975 paper without citation, does this constitute plagiarism? We argue that such cases exemplify the 'provenance problem': a systematic breakdown in the chain of scholarl…
