"Girls who pass these basic eligibility requirements are examined for the battis lakshanas, or "thirty-two perfections" of a goddess, which involves their bodies being stripped of all clothing and caressed by the priests....In addition to this, her hair and eyes should be as black as possible, and she should have dainty hands and feet, small and well-recessed sexual organs, and a set of twenty teeth."

Experimentally co-evolved E. coli and yeast achieve stable coexistence — and the coevolved E. coli, but not the yeast, is able to resist invasion by other bacterial strains

Rudolf Rocker’s writings remind me that holding fast to my own convictions, even when they’re unpopular, is an act of freedom itself.
His life shows me that resisting conformity and staying rooted in my own political beliefs isn’t just stubbornness, it’s a way of defending individuality and dignity against the weight of authority.

Intra-request branch orchestration for efficient LLM reasoning
Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly rely on inference-time reasoning algorithms such as chain-of-thought and multi-branch reasoning to improve accuracy on complex tasks. These methods, however, substantially increase token usage and per-request latency. Prior work has largely focused on reducing token usage, often at the expense of accuracy, while overlooking other latency factors. We present DUCHESS, an LLM serving system that reduces cost and latency without sacrificing accuracy through…

Real-Time Power electronics Control and Monitoring with TI F28379D DSC and GUI Composer
This paper details the implementation and experimental validation of a real-time control system for a three-phase induction motor using the Texas Instruments TMS320F28379D microcontroller. The system integrates pulse-width modulation (PWM) generation, analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), and quadrature encoder feedback to facilitate precise control under various strategies. A current sensing solution based on the AMC1301 isolation amplifier and shunt resistor …

RIP Tom Stoppard. I’m grateful for his masterpiece "Arcadia", and proud of the work we did on it. It's a deep reflection on the nature of truth, love, and art, those who run roughshod over it - very relevant today.
