For Father's Day I march with my child in solidarity, love, and grief for all the fathers left in Palestine and for all who've been slaughtered and for all who've had their children massacred or maimed by Israel.

LASANA: Large-scale Surrogate Modeling for Analog Neuromorphic Architecture Exploration
Neuromorphic systems using in-memory or event-driven computing are motivated by the need for more energy-efficient processing of artificial intelligence workloads. Emerging neuromorphic architectures aim to combine traditional digital designs with the computational efficiency of analog computing and novel device technologies. A crucial problem in the rapid exploration and co-design of such architectures is the lack of tools for fast and accurate modeling and simulation. Typical mixed-signal des…

Paris goal of 1.5°C warming is still too hot for polar ice sheets, study warns https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2025/06/paris-goal-of-1-5c-warming-is-still-too-hot-for-polar-ice-sheets-study-warns/

Paris goal of 1.5°C warming is still too hot for polar ice sheets, study warns
At the landmark Paris climate agreement, nearly every country in the world pledged to a goal to limit warming to well below 2° Celsius (3.6° Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels by 2100, and work toward a more ambitious goal to limit warming to 1.5°C (2.7°F). The hope is that such a limit will help Earth avoid […]

Human vs. LLM-Based Thematic Analysis for Digital Mental Health Research: Proof-of-Concept Comparative Study
Thematic analysis provides valuable insights into participants' experiences through coding and theme development, but its resource-intensive nature limits its use in large healthcare studies. Large language models (LLMs) can analyze text at scale and identify key content automatically, potentially addressing these challenges. However, their application in mental health interviews needs comparison with traditional human analysis. This study evaluates out-of-the-box and knowledge-base LLM-based t…
