foldoc: FOLDOC entries (2002)
A network of hyperlinks among entries in the Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (FOLDOC, www.foldoc.org), an online dictionary of acronyms and technical terms for computers. An edge points from i to j if the term j is referred to in the entry for term i. Edge weight denotes number of uses of the same term.
This network has 13356 nodes and 120238 edges.

Atkinson’s gleeful brilliance helped people draw on computer screens and access information via links.

"But Wall Street professionals, like so many other ostensibly smart people, refused to see Trump clearly, mistaking his skill as a demagogue for wisdom as a policymaker. “I don’t think this was foreseeable,” a mournful Ackman posted on X on Monday. “I assumed economic rationality would be paramount.” What an odd assumption to make about a man who bankrupted casinos.
Berezin thinks Wall Street still hasn’t come to terms with the cost of the nascent Trump presidency. “I do think that at this point we might have passed the event horizon, meaning that even if Trump backs off from the tariffs, there’s been enough damage done to the U.S. economy, to the global economy, to investor confidence, consumer confidence, that we’re probably going to see a recession regardless of what happens,” he said.""

Lumina: Real-Time Mobile Neural Rendering by Exploiting Computational Redundancy
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has vastly advanced the pace of neural rendering, but it remains computationally demanding on today's mobile SoCs. To address this challenge, we propose Lumina, a hardware-algorithm co-designed system, which integrates two principal optimizations: a novel algorithm, S^2, and a radiance caching mechanism, RC, to improve the efficiency of neural rendering. S2 algorithm exploits temporal coherence in rendering to reduce the computational overhead, while RC leverages th…
