Beyond the Broadcast: Enhancing VR Tennis Broadcasting through Embedded Visualizations and Camera Techniques
Virtual Reality (VR) broadcasting has emerged as a promising medium for providing immersive viewing experiences of major sports events such as tennis. However, current VR broadcast systems often lack an effective camera language and do not adequately incorporate dynamic, in-game visualizations, limiting viewer engagement and narrative clarity. To address these limitations, we analyze 400 out-of-play segments from eight major tennis broadcasts to develop a tennis-specific design framework that e…

The $69 Billion Domino Effect: How VMware’s Debt-Fueled Acquisition Is Killing Open Source, One Repository at a Time
Bitnami’s decision to end its free tier by August 2025 has sparked widespread outrage among developers who rely on its services. This change is part of Broadcom CEO Hock Tan’s strategy …

Here's an example of a company trying to destroy a product that it only recently acquired.
VMware, the company, was acquired by Broadcom.
VMware products have always been a pain-in-the-ass to operate, partially because of a marketing brain-crash that named everything "vsphere" this and "vsphere" that.
We used only the once free Esxi hypervisor, but we needed several, also at the time free, "vsphere" pieces to manage it.
But Broadcom p…

BridgeShield: Enhancing Security for Cross-chain Bridge Applications via Heterogeneous Graph Mining
Cross-chain bridges play a vital role in enabling blockchain interoperability. However, due to the inherent design flaws and the enormous value they hold, they have become prime targets for hacker attacks. Existing detection methods show progress yet remain limited, as they mainly address single-chain behaviors and fail to capture cross-chain semantics. To address this gap, we leverage heterogeneous graph attention networks, which are well-suited for modeling multi-typed entities and relations,…
