Also: someone who applauded the offender's disrespect for the Code of Conduct thinks it appropriate to tell me how and where to write.
Of course, I don't take advice from that person.

@… thanks. I never wanted to waste the time of the Core team – simply thinking about reporting Code of Conduct stuff is mentally and emotionally exhausting.
There are very few troublemakers (less than a handful), but it's enough to drive a person like me away. When someone breaks all six ground rules, my usual response is to back away (or …

Today is #WorldStatisticsDay, and the 20th anniversary of the European Statistics Code of Practice (CoP). This is a code of conduct that ensures that official statistics in Europe are produced and made available independently, with high data quality and according to the same standards:

Titans Revisited: A Lightweight Reimplementation and Critical Analysis of a Test-Time Memory Model
By the end of 2024, Google researchers introduced Titans: Learning at Test Time, a neural memory model achieving strong empirical results across multiple tasks. However, the lack of publicly available code and ambiguities in the original description hinder reproducibility. In this work, we present a lightweight reimplementation of Titans and conduct a comprehensive evaluation on Masked Language Modeling, Time Series Forecasting, and Recommendation tasks. Our results reveal that Titans does not …

Bridging Solidity Evolution Gaps: An LLM-Enhanced Approach for Smart Contract Compilation Error Resolution
Solidity, the dominant smart contract language for Ethereum, has rapidly evolved with frequent version updates to enhance security, functionality, and developer experience. However, these continual changes introduce significant challenges, particularly in compilation errors, code migration, and maintenance. Therefore, we conduct an empirical study to investigate the challenges in the Solidity version evolution and reveal that 81.68% of examined contracts encounter errors when compiled across di…

@… … and I've had rude folks occasionally interject themselves on GitHub.
One was quite memorable. Not just slightly rude, it broke all the rules of a code of conduct.
I could have, should have, used the blocking feature of GitHub at the time. That, and more.
The block is now in place. That, and more 🙂

MCP-Enabled LLM for Meta-optics Inverse Design: Leveraging Differentiable Solver without LLM Expertise
Automatic differentiation (AD) enables powerful metasurface inverse design but requires extensive theoretical and programming expertise. We present a Model Context Protocol (MCP) assisted framework that allows researchers to conduct inverse design with differentiable solvers through large language models (LLMs). Since LLMs inherently lack knowledge of specialized solvers, our proposed solution provides dynamic access to verified code templates and comprehensive documentation through dedicated s…
