This is the first FPGA (Trion T20) I've ever seen where the bitstream size depends on the package!
The BGA324 and BGA400 include a hard DDR PHY while the smaller parts don't. I wonder if some/most of the extra 2.5 Mbits of data is firmware for some kind of hard processor that does PHY initialization?
The other deltas are likely related to the MIPI DPHY core, although I'm not sure why the Q10 or F256 packages would be larger than the Q144 since they don't have MIPI…

Wenn bald das Buch "Generation Angst" herauskommt, dann fallt ihr da aber nicht auf Haidts Argumentation rein, oder: https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/aktuelles/pressemitteilungen/single/news/generation-angst-thesenpapier/…

Generation Angst: Machen soziale Medien die Jugend psychisch krank?
Würzburger Forschende widersprechen der Aussage eines US-Psychologen. Mit einem Thesenpapier wollen sie eine sachliche und wissenschaftlich fundierte Diskussion anstoßen.

A Kaleidoscope of Topological Structures in Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates with Weyl-Like Spin-Orbit Coupling in Anharmonic Trap
Dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) possesses characteristics different from the conventional isotropic s-wave interaction in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), the interplay of DDI with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and rotation may induce novel quantum properties. We systematically analyze the effects of the DDI, Weyl-like SOC, rotation and trap anharmonicity in the ground state of two-componen BECs. The interplay of these factors leads to a kaleidoscope of quantum states of quantum defects and quantu…

In its December 2023 lawsuit against OpenAI, The New York Times produced dozens of examples where GPT-4 exactly reproduced significant passages from Times stories.
In its response, OpenAI described this as a “fringe behavior” and a “problem that researchers at OpenAI and elsewhere work hard to address.”
But is it actually a fringe behavior?
And have leading AI companies addressed it? 
New research—focusing on books rather than newspaper articles and on different compa…

A Quantum Approach for Optimal Transient Control in Network-Based Epidemic Models
Effective epidemic control is crucial for mitigating the spread of infectious diseases, particularly when pharmaceutical interventions such as vaccines or treatments are limited. Non-pharmaceutical strategies, including mobility restrictions, are key in reducing transmission rates but require careful optimization to balance public health benefits and socioeconomic costs. Quantum computing is emerging as a powerful tool for solving complex optimization problems that are intractable for classical…

Decarbonizing Mongolia's Energy Sector: A Techno-Economic Analysis of Hybrid Energy Solutions
To achieve carbon neutrality and enhance energy security, Mongolia is exploring a transition toward hybrid energy solutions integrating small modular reactors (SMRs) and renewable energy sources. This study assesses the feasibility of a grid-connected hybrid energy system that combines coal, solar photovoltaic (PV), wind turbines, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and SMRs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy reliability.
