DCE-LLM: Dead Code Elimination with Large Language Models
Dead code introduces several challenges in software development, such as increased binary size and maintenance difficulties. It can also obscure logical errors and be exploited for obfuscation in malware. For LLM-based code-related tasks, dead code introduces vulnerabilities that can mislead these models, raising security concerns. Although modern compilers and IDEs offer dead code elimination, sophisticated patterns can bypass these tools. A universal approach that includes classification, loc…

Was speaking to some journalists recently who didn't realise how long a history the use of radar has in measuring ice thickness over glaciers.
The technique was discovered by pilots, who must have had the frankly terrifying experience of landing on the ice sheet with their radars telling them they still had a few thousand metres of descent to reach the surface...
It's not mentioned in this obituary but I wonder if this guy would have seen it? Perhaps he didn't even have radar to assist in landing?

Probing flavor effects in QCD showers with heavy-flavor jets
Measurements of jet substructure provide precise tests of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and offer a distinct way to study hadronization mechanisms, compared to measurements of hadrons alone. QCD predicts that jet radiation patterns depend on the mass and color charge of the initiating parton. Parton showers, in particular, are sensitive to the Casimir factors of quarks and gluons, as well as the parton mass due to the dead-cone effect. Three key charm-tagged jet measurements from the ALICE exper…

Adaptive Reduced Order Modelling of Discrete-Time Systems with Input-Output Dead Time
While many acoustic systems are well-modelled by linear time-invariant dynamical systems, high-fidelity models often become computationally expensive due the complexity of dynamics. Reduced order modelling techniques, such as the Eigensystem Realization Algorithm (ERA), can be used to create efficient surrogate models from measurement data, particularly impulse responses. However, practical challenges remain, including the presence of input-output dead times, i.e. propagation delays, in the dat…

Calamus 27 O love!
Odd little poem. On the surface it's a celebration of reinvention, of metaphorically dying and leaving your corpse behind, "always living". I don't find it particularly compelling but it's a mood.
I can't honestly find a particularly gay reading here. Broadly speaking maybe, "coming out" is a kind of reinvention gay people do, leaving our old closeted persona dead and gone. I wouldn't argue Whitman is talking about that though.
One odd thing is the 1860 poem starts "O love!", but there's no love mentioned in the rest of the text. Whitman removed this line in later versions. So who or what is the love referring to?
