Is the Fitness Dependent Optimizer Ready for the Future of Optimization?
Metaheuristic algorithms are optimization methods that are inspired by real phenomena in nature or the behavior of living beings, e.g., animals, to be used for solving complex problems, as in engineering, energy optimization, health care, etc. One of them was the creation of the Fitness Dependent Optimizer (FDO) in 2019, which is based on bee-inspired swarm intelligence and provides efficient optimization.

Very early in the commercial registrar era, some registrars priced domains in harmony with their costs: no teaser marketing, just discounts on buying multiple future years at once.

CnC-PRAC: Coalesce, not Cache, Per Row Activation Counts for an Efficient in-DRAM Rowhammer Mitigation
JEDEC has introduced the Per Row Activation Counting (PRAC) framework for DDR5 and future DRAMs to enable precise counting of DRAM row activations using per-row activation counts. While recent PRAC implementations enable holistic mitigation of Rowhammer attacks, they impose slowdowns of up to 10% due to the increased DRAM timings for performing a read-modify-write of the counter. Alternatively, recent work, Chronus, addresses these slowdowns, but incurs energy overheads due to the additional DR…

I think a key reason the AI grift is so devious it it's built on top of an actual product that does have some utility. The grift just promises far more than AI is actually capable of in the foreseeable future.
Previous grifts like crypto and NFTs were entirely vaporware, but when we see AI generated images and text in the wild, it takes a more nuanced understanding to navigate the hype.

Sadly, @… is right — and the article she quotes is (I think) wrong when it says this:
❝In some real sense Meta's future depends on hiring and retaining those people, and Meta has already committed $65 billion to Al infrastructure this year. What's a few hundred million more?❞
Meta’s future does not in fact depend on hiring these specific researchers. This isn’t for the researchers, and it’s not for the research either. It’s for the investors.

Causal effects on non-terminal event time with application to antibiotic usage and future resistance
Comparing future antibiotic resistance levels resulting from different antibiotic treatments is challenging because some patients may survive only under one of the antibiotic treatments. We embed this problem within a semi-competing risks approach to study the causal effect on resistant infection, treated as a non-terminal event time. We argue that existing principal stratification estimands for such problems exclude patients for whom a causal effect is well-defined and is of clinical interest.…

Scenarios in Computing Research: A Systematic Review of the Use of Scenario Methods for Exploring the Future of Computing Technologies in Society
Scenario building is an established method to anticipate the future of emerging technologies. Its primary goal is to use narratives to map future trajectories of technology development and sociotechnical adoption. Following this process, risks and benefits can be identified early on, and strategies can be developed that strive for desirable futures. In recent years, computer science has adopted this method and applied it to various technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI). Because c…

We see cops going crazy.
There will be lawsuits.
Cops and the places that hire them will incur legal costs and even higher payouts for damages.
This is likely to force cities to raise taxes to cover those costs or, more likely, to cover the massive increase in insurance premiums that cities will have to pay in the future.
Of course, ultimately it will be you and me - taxpayers - who foot these bills for the insane excesses of cops.

I am not an expert on this; I have no special knowledge whatever.
Nevertheless, it's my opinion that the future of drone warfare cannot be first-person-view drones, because such drones require near-continuous real-time comms, and any channel over which comms can be transmitted can be jammed or hacked by the enemy.

Runaway electron-induced plasma facing component damage in tokamaks
This Roadmap article addresses the critical and multifaceted challenge of plasma-facing component (PFC) damage caused by runaway electrons (REs) in tokamaks, a phenomenon that poses a significant threat to the viability and longevity of future fusion reactors such as ITER and DEMO. The dramatically increased RE production expected in future high-current tokamaks makes it difficult to avoid or mitigate REs when a plasma discharge terminates abnormally. Preventing damage from the intense localise…

Spin-Dependent Scattering of Sub-GeV Dark Matter: Models and Constraints
We calculate the scattering rate of sub-GeV dark matter in solid-state targets for spin-dependent dark matter -- nucleon interactions. For dark matter particles with mass below 100 MeV, the scattering occurs predominantly through incoherent phonon production. For dark matter heavier than 100 MeV, we match onto the nuclear recoil calculation. To compare the sensitivity of future direct detection experiments with existing constraints, we consider three models with interactions which are mediated …

Future Deployment and Flexibility of Distributed Energy Resources in the Distribution Grids of Switzerland
The decarbonization goals worldwide drive the energy transition of power distribution grids, which operate under increasingly volatile conditions and closer to their technical limits. In this context, localized operational data with high temporal and spatial resolution is essential for their effective planning and regulation. Nevertheless, information on grid-connected distributed energy resources, such as electric vehicles, photovoltaic systems, and heat pumps, is often fragmented, inconsisten…

Smart Buildings Energy Consumption Forecasting using Adaptive Evolutionary Ensemble Learning Models
Smart buildings are gaining popularity because they can enhance energy efficiency, lower costs, improve security, and provide a more comfortable and convenient environment for building occupants. A considerable portion of the global energy supply is consumed in the building sector and plays a pivotal role in future decarbonization pathways. To manage energy consumption and improve energy efficiency in smart buildings, developing reliable and accurate energy demand forecasting is crucial and mea…

The israeli-american genocide of the Palestinian people continues. It’s not just israel. It was never just israel.
“‘This is an administration that is committed to Palestinian erasure, both physical and political,’ Elgindy said. ‘The signs were there even in the first Trump term, which nominally supported a Palestinian ‘state’ that was shorn of all sovereignty and under permanent Israeli control. At least now they’ve abandoned the pretense.’

The National Institutes of Health is responsible for more than 80% of the world’s grant investment in biomedical research.
Its funding has sparked countless medical breakthroughs
— on cancer, diabetes, strokes
— and plays a fundamental role in the development of pharmaceutical drugs.
Scientists compete vigorously for a slice of the more than $30 billion that the agency doles out annually;
they can spend years assembling grant applications that stretch thousand…

Science Shattered
The Trump administration cut research funding that sought cures for future pandemics, examined the causes of dementia and tried to prevent HIV transmission. More than 150 researchers shared with ProPublica what is being lost.

"The cult of goal-setting thrives in this illusion. It converts uncertainty into an illusion of progress. It demands specificity in exchange for comfort. And it replaces self-trust with the performance of future-planning."

Axion-like particle constraints from preSN in future experiments
We extend the study of the search for ALP-photon emissions from a Supernovae (SNe) progenitor, the Red Supergiant Star (RGS), as Betelgeuse, arising through a combination of Bremsstrahlung, Compton, and Primako? processes, in the hard-X and MeV energy range, using the next proposed and future experiments, such as COMCUBE, GECCO, COSI, AMEGO-X, and e-ASTROGAM.
