Sigh, bought some TP-Link P110 plugs and they are rubbish. One stops actually turning off the device randomly - says its off/on etc - but relay never clicks.

ChainForge: A Visual Toolkit for Prompt Engineering and LLM Hypothesis Testing
Evaluating outputs of large language models (LLMs) is challenging, requiring making -- and making sense of -- many responses. Yet tools that go beyond basic prompting tend to require knowledge of programming APIs, focus on narrow domains, or are closed-source. We present ChainForge, an open-source visual toolkit for prompt engineering and on-demand hypothesis testing of text generation LLMs. ChainForge provides a graphical interface for comparison of responses across models and prompt variation…

2. You go back a day, just before the breaking change, and start over. You build and test all LLVM components, only to discover at the very last package that OpenMP was broken, roughly an hour earlier. You submit a patch.

3. You go back prior to that commit, and start over. Fortunately, CCache saves you from rebuilding everything from scratch. Still, many hours of testing are ahead of you. You really hope for no more regressions…

In this paper, a second-order split-ring photonic crystal (SSPC) with zero-dimensional (0D) corner states and one-dimensional (1D) edge states is proposed. Based on the coupling strength determined by the opening direction between the split-rings, the …

Specifically, we take a classical field theory with an arbitrary quartic interaction and add dissipation and Gaussian-random forcing. Employing the path integral relation between stochas…

Liquid Neural Network-based Adaptive Learning vs. Incremental Learning for Link Load Prediction amid Concept Drift due to Network Failures
Adapting to concept drift is a challenging task in machine learning, which is usually tackled using incremental learning techniques that periodically re-fit a learning model leveraging newly available data. A primary limitation of these techniques is their reliance on substantial amounts of data for retraining. The necessity of acquiring fresh data introduces temporal delays prior to retraining, potentially rendering the models inaccurate if a sudden concept drift occurs in-between two consecut…

This paper addresses the eco-driving problem for connected vehicles on urban roads, considering localization uncertainty. Eco-driving is defined as longitudinal speed planning and control on roads with the presence of a sequence of traffic lights. We solve the problem by using a data-driven model predictive control (MPC) strategy. This approach involves learning a cost-to-go function and constraints from state-input data. The cost-to-go function represents the remaining energy-to-spend from the…
