Schade, dass Boosts nicht als Teil des Personal Feeds bei den RSS-Feeds mit enthalten sind. Ebenso nicht beim Konten-"Alarm". Die gehören für mich schon dazu. Und wenn ich Boosts von jmd. nicht will (warum auch immer), kann ich es ja generell abschalten.

From Requirements to Code: Understanding Developer Practices in LLM-Assisted Software Engineering
With the advent of generative LLMs and their advanced code generation capabilities, some people already envision the end of traditional software engineering, as LLMs may be able to produce high-quality code based solely on the requirements a domain expert feeds into the system. The feasibility of this vision can be assessed by understanding how developers currently incorporate requirements when using LLMs for code generation-a topic that remains largely unexplored. We interviewed 18 practitione…

Examining Algorithmic Curation on Social Media: An Empirical Audit of Reddit's r/popular Feed
Platforms are increasingly relying on algorithms to curate the content within users' social media feeds. However, the growing prominence of proprietary, algorithmically curated feeds has concealed what factors influence the presentation of content on social media feeds and how that presentation affects user behavior. This lack of transparency can be detrimental to users, from reducing users' agency over their content consumption to the propagation of misinformation and toxic content. To uncover…

Training Strategies for Modality Dropout Resilient Multi-Modal Target Speaker Extraction

Training Strategies for Modality Dropout Resilient Multi-Modal Target Speaker Extraction
The primary goal of multi-modal TSE (MTSE) is to extract a target speaker from a speech mixture using complementary information from different modalities, such as audio enrolment and visual feeds corresponding to the target speaker. MTSE systems are expected to perform well even when one of the modalities is unavailable. In practice, the systems often suffer from modality dominance, where one of the modalities outweighs the others, thereby limiting robustness. Our study investigates training st…

Tool to make Fediverse posts from RSS feeds

I bet a lot of folks (especially on the tech side) have just stopped paying attention to crypto, which is perfectly sane because we all know that it’s bad technology. On the other hand, the finance sector, with MAGA cheerleading, is still wildly enthusiastic. See https://newsletterhunt.com/emails/1894

Ransomware gang attacks German charity that feeds starving children https://therecord.media/welthungerhilfe-german-hunger-relief-charity-ransomware-attack

"Despite its promise of no-code, Al-powered app creation, much of the work was reportedly done manually by engineers in India."
Reminds me of how Amazon's automated unstaffed stores were actually staffed by people in India watching video feeds and verifying what people bought.

Human-Machine Interfaces for Subsea Telerobotics: From Soda-straw to Natural Language Interactions
This review explores the evolution of human-machine interfaces (HMIs) in subsea telerobotics, charting the progression from traditional first-person "soda-straw" consoles -- characterized by narrow field-of-view camera feeds -- to contemporary interfaces leveraging gesture recognition, virtual reality, and natural language processing. We systematically analyze the state-of-the-art literature through three interrelated perspectives: operator experience (including immersive feedback, cognitive wo…

Malicious earworms and useful memes, how the far-right surfs on TikTok audio trends
With its features of remix, TikTok is the designated platform for meme-making and dissemination. Creative combinations of video, emoji, and filters allow for an endless stream of memes and trends animated by sound. The platform has focused its moderation on upholding physical safety, hence investing in the detection of harmful challenges. In response to the DSA, TikTok implemented opt-outs for personalized feeds and features allowing users to report illegal content. At the same time, the platfo…

Good Morning #Canada
Today is National Geek Day, so expect your social media feeds to be filled with gobbly-gook acronyms and combinations of words that make you select the translate function.
