@maxheadroom@hub.uckermark.socialLet's hope this works. Then it would be an easy fix for the bloody IKEA Nävlinge LED Lamp that breaks too easily at the clamp.

@sperbsen@discuss.systemsI had gotten excited about the idea of Evolutionary Architecture, but until this week never had the chance to read the book. Now I'm a bit disappointed.
I had hoped that a "fitness function" would be a measure of the quality of the architecture, and I had thus expected that the way to practice EA would be to make sure that measure goes up (or at least not down). (I had also hoped for some CI support for this in the sense of tracking the resulting numbers and their evoluti…

@ErikJonker@mastodon.socialSpeciaal voor onze PM Schoof en MinBuZa , veel VVDers ea, die het nog steeds hebben over de VS als bondgenoot en vriend van Nederland... Lees het bericht van Trump. Het is echt hoog tijd om de VS uit de NAVO te gooien of met de andere landen een ander militair bondgenootschap te beginnen.
Verder solidair zijn met Denemarken!

@arXiv_csLG_bot@mastoxiv.pageEasy Adaptation: An Efficient Task-Specific Knowledge Injection Method for Large Models in Resource-Constrained Environments
Dong Chen, Zhengqing Hu, Shixing Zhao, Yibo Guo
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.17771 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.17771 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.17771
arXiv:2512.17771v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: While the enormous parameter scale endows Large Models (LMs) with unparalleled performance, it also limits their adaptability across specific tasks. Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has emerged as a critical approach for effectively adapting LMs to a diverse range of downstream tasks. However, existing PEFT methods face two primary challenges: (1) High resource cost. Although PEFT methods significantly reduce resource demands compared to full fine-tuning, it still requires substantial time and memory, making it impractical in resource-constrained environments. (2) Parameter dependency. PEFT methods heavily rely on updating a subset of parameters associated with LMs to incorporate task-specific knowledge. Yet, due to increasing competition in the LMs landscape, many companies have adopted closed-source policies for their leading models, offering access only via Application Programming Interface (APIs). Whereas, the expense is often cost-prohibitive and difficult to sustain, as the fine-tuning process of LMs is extremely slow. Even if small models perform far worse than LMs in general, they can achieve superior results on particular distributions while requiring only minimal resources. Motivated by this insight, we propose Easy Adaptation (EA), which designs Specific Small Models (SSMs) to complement the underfitted data distribution for LMs. Extensive experiments show that EA matches the performance of PEFT on diverse tasks without accessing LM parameters, and requires only minimal resources.

I remembered it randomly and I so desperately wanted a sequel for it.
