Constraints on New Physics from decays of polarized $Λ_b^0$ baryons at the FCC-ee
The $Z^0$ bosons produced in electron-positron collisions at the potential Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) provide unique opportunities for flavour physics. The non-zero polarization of \Lb baryons produced in $Z^0$ decays enables access to a much larger set of observables than at the LHC, where the \Lb baryons are produced unpolarized. This paper presents a toy angular analysis of $Λ_b^0\to Λ(\to pπ^-)μ^+μ^-$ decays using simulation samples of collisions at the FCC-ee reconstructed usin…

Eu ontem não fui no Pilates, então eu fiz uns alongamentos agora hš pouco ali no quarto. É hilšrio e frustrante tentar fazer exercícios perto do gato, ele quer grudar em você, sentar na cadeira que você estš usando como apoio improvisado pra perna e Šs vezes até resolve deitar em cima de sua barriga no meio de um exercício rs. Mas, mesmo assim, senti que valeu a pena. Foi algo bem leve, mas vai servir para os músculos não ficarem completamente sedentšrios até sšbado, que é o próximo dia de i…

Denoising GER: A Noise-Robust Generative Error Correction with LLM for Speech Recognition
In recent years, large language models (LLM) have made significant progress in the task of generation error correction (GER) for automatic speech recognition (ASR) post-processing. However, in complex noisy environments, they still face challenges such as poor adaptability and low information utilization, resulting in limited effectiveness of GER. To address these issues, this paper proposes a noise-robust multi-modal GER framework (Denoising GER). The framework enhances the model's adaptabilit…

Characterizing FaaS Workflows on Public Clouds: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Function-as-a-service (FaaS) is a popular serverless computing paradigm for developing event-driven functions that elastically scale on public clouds. FaaS workflows, such as AWS Step Functions and Azure Durable Functions, are composed from FaaS functions, like AWS Lambda and Azure Functions, to build practical applications. But, the complex interactions between functions in the workflow and the limited visibility into the internals of proprietary FaaS platforms are major impediments to gaining…

I've been seeing a term that fash coders use for themselves more and more:
"Builders."
(It's implying that people who don't agree with their fascist worldviews are "tearing down" society and the world and have nothing to contribute and are therefore expendable.)

Dynamic Speculative Agent Planning
Despite their remarkable success in complex tasks propelling widespread adoption, large language-model-based agents still face critical deployment challenges due to prohibitive latency and inference costs. While recent work has explored various methods to accelerate inference, existing approaches suffer from significant limitations: they either fail to preserve performance fidelity, require extensive offline training of router modules, or incur excessive operational costs. Moreover, they provid…

Mulher da entregadora me ligou agora pra avisar de uma entrega e a voz era igualzinha Š de uma amiga que eu não vejo hš anos. Eu tomei um susto, achei que ela estivesse vindo me visitar de surpresa, sem nem perguntar se eu hoje iria para o trabalho. Ela é bem do tipo que faz essas coisas.

Benchmarking Machine Learning Models for Fault Classification and Localization in Power System Protection
The increasing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), particularly renewables, poses significant challenges for power system protection, with fault classification (FC) and fault localization (FL) being among the most critical tasks. Conventional protection schemes, based on fixed thresholds, cannot reliably identify and localize short circuits with the increasing complexity of the grid under dynamic conditions. Machine learning (ML) offers a promising alternative; however, systemat…
