WhisperKit: On-device Real-time ASR with Billion-Scale Transformers
Real-time Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a fundamental building block for many commercial applications of ML, including live captioning, dictation, meeting transcriptions, and medical scribes. Accuracy and latency are the most important factors when companies select a system to deploy. We present WhisperKit, an optimized on-device inference system for real-time ASR that significantly outperforms leading cloud-based systems. We benchmark against server-side systems that deploy a diverse s…

Overconfident conspiracy theorists: Many unaware their beliefs are on the fringe
Overconfidence is a hallmark trait of people who believe in conspiracies, and they also significantly overestimate how much others agree with them, Cornell psychology researchers have found. The study indicates that belief in conspiracies may be less about a person's needs and motivations and more about their failure to recognize that they might be wrong.

Ultra-High-Energy Transient Source Search using IceCube Neutrinos and Pierre Auger Photon Candidates
The origins of ultra-high-energy particles remain one of the most profound mysteries in astrophysics. If nearby transient sources of ultra-high-energy particles exist, we might expect correlated emission of neutrinos and photons, arriving in close temporal and spatial coincidence. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located at the South Pole, is sensitive to neutrinos from TeV to EeV energies, while the Pierre Auger Observatory, in Argentina, detects cosmic rays and has the capability of observin…

Can Large Language Models Understand As Well As Apply Patent Regulations to Pass a Hands-On Patent Attorney Test?
The legal field already uses various large language models (LLMs) in actual applications, but their quantitative performance and reasons for it are underexplored. We evaluated several open-source and proprietary LLMs -- including GPT-series, Anthropic, Deepseek and Llama-3, variants -- on parts of the European Qualifying Examination (EQE) for future European Patent Attorneys. OpenAI o1 led with 0.82 accuracy and 0.81 F1 score, whereas (Amazon Web Services) AWS Llama 3.1 8B lagged at 0.50 accura…

Socioeconomic Impact of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Observatory has been operating in Malargue, Province of Mendoza, western Argentina, for over two decades, significantly advancing our understanding of cosmic rays. Beyond its scientific mission, the installation and operation of the Observatory has had profound social, economic, educational and cultural impact on the local community, the region and worldwide. More than 90 percent of the Observatory's annual operational budget is invested in the region, benefiting sectors such a…

Gıdaları mümkün olduğunca kooperatiflerden almaya çalışıyorum. Ama bazen kendimi enayi yerine koyulmuş hissediyorum. Çaykur'un 25 tanesini 40 liraya sattığı çayın 20 tanesini 50 liraya satıyor Özçay. Neden anlamıyorum. Aracı yok tefeci yok, belediyenin üretici marketinde satıyorsun.

Eu desci agora hš pouco para cuidar dos gatos lš da rua. De bermuda mas com uma blusa de manga comprida por cima da camisa normal. Mesmo assim passei frio. Tš anormal esse clima mesmo. De acordo com o app de meteorologia, aqui estš 14 graus. 🥶

Combined fit above 0.1 EeV to the cosmic-ray spectrum and composition measured with the Pierre Auger Observatory
We fit the cosmic-ray spectrum measured with the Pierre Auger Observatory's surface detectors above an energy of $10^{17}$ eV, along with composition information inferred from the depth of shower maximum measured with its fluorescence detectors above an energy threshold of $10^{17.8}$ eV. We consider astrophysical scenarios with two distinct extragalactic source populations: one dominating the flux above a few EeV, and the other dominating at lower energies, with representative nuclei being inj…
