Quand j’ai vu que notre ministre des Finances demande au réseau de la santé de réduire ses coûts, puis ce CIUSSS qui dit qu’il va le faire en diminuant l’embauche de ressources privées et plutôt recruter Š l’étranger, j’ai tout de suite pensé Š ce vieux dicton que j’ai féminisé parce que le réseau de la santé, c’est surtout des employées.

“You have really, really, really high demand for babies & children. You have really low supply & I’m using this market language because I think it’s important to understand the ways that [adoption] is a market-shaped system.”
I'm so gd glad feminism is finally starting to look at #adoption critically. This is WAY overdue, but I'll take it!

Emergency Response Inference Mapping (ERIMap): A Bayesian Network-based Method for Dynamic Observation Processing in Spatially Distributed Emergencies
In emergencies, high stake decisions often have to be made under time pressure and strain. In order to support such decisions, information from various sources needs to be collected and processed rapidly. The information available tends to be temporally and spatially variable, uncertain, and sometimes conflicting, leading to potential biases in decisions. Currently, there is a lack of systematic approaches for information processing and situation assessment which meet the particular demands of …

Usability and Performance Analysis of Embedded Development Environment for On-device Learning
This research empirically examines embedded development tools viable for on-device TinyML implementation. The research evaluates various development tools with various abstraction levels on resource-constrained IoT devices, from basic hardware manipulation to deployment of minimalistic ML training. The analysis encompasses memory usage, energy consumption, and performance metrics during model training and inference and usability of the different solutions. Arduino Framework offers ease of imple…

«culture wars aren’t being fought to destroy the humanities – rather that humanities are being destroyed because they’re incredibly inconvenient to authoritarianism, representing as they do “a pedagogical practice that calls students beyond themselves, embraces the ethical imperative for them to care for others, embrace historical memory, work to dismantle structures of domination, and to become subjects rather than objects of history, politics, and power”.»

If you ever wondered: if you have to pay #tax for foreign donation in #Poland, you're going to have to run to the tax office with paper form — because making "polish tax identifier" field optional in the online form would cost a fortune.
"""
[…] Enabling taxpayers to file the SD-Z2 form electronically requires developing and implementing a new template in the IT systems. In turn, this requires changing the inheritance and donation regulations first, and prior earmarking of substantial funding for modification of IT systems (the amount being similar whether a single or many changes are implemented).
For these reasons, the demand made on this undeniably important matter, but requiring incurring disproportionately high expenditures at the moment, compared to the number of cases to which it applies, will be taken into consideration at the next amendment of inheritance and donation tax regulations, which will also include other changes to the form.

ERA-CoT: Improving Chain-of-Thought through Entity Relationship Analysis
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved commendable accomplishments in various natural language processing tasks. However, LLMs still encounter significant challenges when dealing with complex scenarios involving multiple entities. These challenges arise from the presence of implicit relationships that demand multi-step reasoning. In this paper, we propose a novel approach ERA-CoT, which aids LLMs in understanding context by capturing relationships between entities and supports the reasoning…

On the Efficacy of Eviction Policy for Key-Value Constrained Generative Language Model Inference
Despite the recent success associated with Large Language Models~(LLMs), they are notably cost-prohibitive to deploy in resource-constrained environments due to their excessive memory and computational demands. In addition to model parameters, the key-value cache is also stored in GPU memory, growing linearly with batch size and sequence length. As a remedy, recent works have proposed various eviction policies for maintaining the overhead of key-value cache under a given budget. This paper emba…
