1/2 'Glitzer' #FotoVorschlag 'glitter'
I don't have a lot of glitter in my portfolio. But #snowflakes can be like glitter in the counter light!

Ich werde meine letzten Stop-forcing-AI-into-fucking-everything-Aufkleber zum #FediCamp mitbringen.
Eins kann ja immer neue machen, z.B. bei Flyeralarm. Die Grafikdateien, Übersetzungen und einen Link zu einer T-Shirt-Bestellmöglichkeit beim Originalkünstler sammle ich hier:

In a marketing experiment I'm looking around at different social networks. (The fediverse is great but organic advertising benefits more with more eyeballs.)
In my experiment I dusted off my ancient birdsite account to create a branded account, and FUCK, I didn't completely understand just the level of vitriol and hatred that frequently gets promoted over there!
With my branded account I'm following tech folks and game publishers, and even in those chats extremist ri…

The Carbon Footprint Wizard: A Knowledge-Augmented AI Interface for Streamlining Food Carbon Footprint Analysis
Environmental sustainability, particularly in relation to climate change, is a key concern for consumers, producers, and policymakers. The carbon footprint, based on greenhouse gas emissions, is a standard metric for quantifying the contribution to climate change of activities and is often assessed using life cycle assessment (LCA). However, conducting LCA is complex due to opaque and global supply chains, as well as fragmented data. This paper presents a methodology that combines advances in L…

Fourier Learning Machines: Nonharmonic Fourier-Based Neural Networks for Scientific Machine Learning
We introduce the Fourier Learning Machine (FLM), a neural network (NN) architecture designed to represent a multidimensional nonharmonic Fourier series. The FLM uses a simple feedforward structure with cosine activation functions to learn the frequencies, amplitudes, and phase shifts of the series as trainable parameters. This design allows the model to create a problem-specific spectral basis adaptable to both periodic and nonperiodic functions. Unlike previous Fourier-inspired NN models, the …

Spread the word Canada and #Fediverse citizens everywhere! One of Trump's power grabs is through social media and big tech. The best way to take that power away is to take away power from the likes of Meta, Google and Apple who have far too much control and far too little social responsibility.
The Fediverse is the antidote to some of this. Talk to your MLA, MP, Representative, local politicians, and media. Get them talking about the alternative to platforms run by multinational corporations and foreign entities

Electrically pumped ultra-efficient quantum frequency conversion on thin film lithium niobate chip
Quantum frequency conversion (QFC) plays a crucial role in constructing seamless interconnection between quantum systems operating at different wavelengths. To advance future quantum technology, chip-scale integrated QFC components, featuring high efficiency, small footprint, low power consumption and high scalability, are indispensable. In this work, we demonstrate the first hybrid integrated QFC chip on thin film lithium niobate platform that connects the telecom and visible bands. Benefiting…

So I'm gonna play Endless Sky a bit...build my starfleet...
just renamed an Argosy to "Striker of the Fediverse" IT'S MY FLAGSHIP!
My starting shuttle was called "Fedi Mastodon"
I got 3.8 M credits...
I got 44 extra crew and 54 fragmentation grenades(1.3/0.3)
I'm in Aldhibain and patrolling the place for disabled pirate ships which I take over...so the pirates hate me 😆

Strata: Hierarchical Context Caching for Long Context Language Model Serving
Large Language Models (LLMs) with expanding context windows face significant performance hurdles. While caching key-value (KV) states is critical for avoiding redundant computation, the storage footprint of long-context caches quickly exceeds GPU memory capacity, forcing production systems to adopt hierarchical caching across memory hierarchies. However, transferring large cached contexts back to the GPU introduces severe performance bottlenecks: fragmented I/O from paged layouts prevents full …
