Hmm… maybe I should pickup a watch with a "California Dial". 🤔
P.S. For those unfamiliar with this dial layout or even those who have seen it but wondered WTF is going on, this is a nice summary:

With its mix of Roman and Arabic numerals, the so-called California dial has become one of the most sought-after Rolex watches of the modern era.

LaDCast: A Latent Diffusion Model for Medium-Range Ensemble Weather Forecasting
Accurate probabilistic weather forecasting demands both high accuracy and efficient uncertainty quantification, challenges that overburden both ensemble numerical weather prediction (NWP) and recent machine-learning methods. We introduce LaDCast, the first global latent-diffusion framework for medium-range ensemble forecasting, which generates hourly ensemble forecasts entirely in a learned latent space. An autoencoder compresses high-dimensional ERA5 reanalysis fields into a compact representa…

FLoRA: An Advanced AI-Powered Engine to Facilitate Hybrid Human-AI Regulated Learning
SRL, defined as learners' ability to systematically plan, monitor, and regulate their learning activities, is crucial for sustained academic achievement and lifelong learning competencies. Emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) developments profoundly influence SRL interactions by potentially either diminishing or strengthening learners' opportunities to exercise their own regulatory skills. Recent literature emphasizes a balanced approach termed Hybrid Human-AI Regulated Learning (HHAIRL), in w…

Direct interferometric measurement of non-reciprocity induced by a plasmonic metasurface with false chirality
Nonreciprocity is an important scientific concept related to the broken symmetry of light propagation through a system in forward and reverse directions. This effect lies in the origin of various applications including signal processing, noise reduction, unidirectional propagation and sensing. Here we show that propagation of Surface Plasmons (SP) within a structure having a false chirality exhibits a non-reciprocity. The SP waves propagating in opposite directions within the structure acquire …

Exciton condensation from level repulsion: application to bilayer graphene
Exciton condensation in semiconductors and semimetals has long been predicted but remains elusive. In a semiconductor, condensation occurs when the exciton binding energy matches the band gap. This binding energy results from a balance between Coulomb attraction, which enhances it, and kinetic energy, which suppresses it. However, reducing kinetic energy typically increases screening, weakening Coulomb attraction. Empirically, in most candidate materials, the binding energy remains below the ba…

The Netherlands will not be introducing an hourly network tariff (24 hourly prices, 2 seasons) as of 2028. Government asked NRA and DSOs to come up with 'something simpler', and they have complied. A missed opportunity. It will be more of a classic ToU tariff. Currently, there is no time variation.

Wireless Energy Transfer Beamforming Optimization for Intelligent Transmitting Surface
Radio frequency (RF) wireless energy transfer (WET) is a promising technology for powering the growing ecosystem of Internet of Things (IoT) devices using power beacons (PBs). Recent research focuses on designing efficient PB architectures that can support numerous antennas. In this context, PBs equipped with intelligent surfaces present a promising approach, enabling physically large, reconfigurable arrays. Motivated by these advantages, this work aims to minimize the power consumption of a PB…
