#PHPUnit question: I have a "connected" group defined as excluded in my phpunit.xml file.
I can then run it explicitly with phpunit --group connected.
If I don't specify a group, it runs everything except the connected group.
Is there a way to run "Everything, INCLUDING excluded groups?" Like a --forceAllGroups flag or similar?

In case anyone here has connections with the Python team: can you please tell them to update their docs on XML security? The way it is is quite misleading, and it's been annoying me for a while.

A new XML conversion process for mensural music encoding : CMME\_to\_MEI (via Verovio)
The Ricercar Lab - the musicological research team at the Center for advanced Studies in the Renaissance at the University of Tours - has decided to make available in open access, thanks to the support of the French digital infrastructure Biblissima, a large corpus of about 3500 XML files of 15th-c. music. This corpus was produced by the German musicologist Clemens Goldberg who encoded since 2010 onwards the musical content of 34 major 15th-c. music manuscripts and other complementary files, in…

A tak poza tym, to wysłałem parę łatek, by ulepszyć funkcję epytest w #Gentoo.
Wymuszają krótkie podsumowania, załączają tworzenie plików junit .xml, żeby ułatwić maszynowe przetwarzanie wyników, i — co najważniejsze — dodają zmienną EPYTEST_PLUGINS, żeby podawać, które wtyczki mają być załadowane. Będziemy dążyć do tego, by całkiem odejść od domyślnego automatycznego ładowania wtyczek.

Viele Menschen verstehen #Warnungen wie „#Hitzeindex“ oder „#Hitzewarnung“ falsch. Das zeigt eine US-Studie.
Fast die Hälfte hält den Hitzeindex für die reine

Bridging the Gap between National Weather Service Heat Terminology and Public Understanding
Abstract Clearly communicating heat warning information to the public is an important way to reduce heat mortality and morbidity. However, heat communication interventions from the National Weather Service commonly include technical and scientific terms, otherwise known as jargon. These terms, such as heat advisory or heat index, may not be understood by the public. Given the importance of message understanding in protective action decision-making, the purpose of this study is to assess how the…

A new efficient RPKI Design
Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is a critical security mechanism for BGP, but the complexity of its architecture is a growing concern as its adoption scales. Current RPKI design heavily reuses legacy PKI components, such as X.509 EE-certificates, ASN.1 encoding, and XML-based repository protocols, all these introduce excessive cryptographic validation, redundant metadata, and inefficiencies in both storage and processing. We show that these design choices, although based on establishe…

PlanQA: A Benchmark for Spatial Reasoning in LLMs using Structured Representations
We introduce PlanQA, a diagnostic benchmark for evaluating geometric and spatial reasoning in large-language models (LLMs). PlanQA is grounded in structured representations of indoor scenes, such as kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms, encoded in a symbolic format (e.g., JSON, XML layouts). The benchmark includes diverse question types that test not only metric and topological reasoning (e.g., distance, visibility, shortest paths) but also interior design constraints such as affordance, cleara…

GhostShell: Streaming LLM Function Calls for Concurrent Embodied Programming
We present GhostShell, a novel approach that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to enable streaming and concurrent behavioral programming for embodied systems. In contrast to conventional methods that rely on pre-scheduled action sequences or behavior trees, GhostShell drives embodied systems to act on-the-fly by issuing function calls incrementally as tokens are streamed from the LLM. GhostShell features a streaming XML function token parser, a dynamic function interface mapper, and a mult…

Evaluating Structured Output Robustness of Small Language Models for Open Attribute-Value Extraction from Clinical Notes
We present a comparative analysis of the parseability of structured outputs generated by small language models for open attribute-value extraction from clinical notes. We evaluate three widely used serialization formats: JSON, YAML, and XML, and find that JSON consistently yields the highest parseability. Structural robustness improves with targeted prompting and larger models, but declines for longer documents and certain note types. Our error analysis identifies recurring format-specific fail…

In other news, I've sent a few fun patches to improve epytest in #Gentoo.
This includes forcing short summaries, creating junit .xml for machine processing, and most importantly, EPYTEST_PLUGINS to handle specifying the plugins to load. The goal is to eventually move away from plugin autoloading by default.
