• Implement garbage collection timeout for unconnected pages
Added a timeout to KittenPage instances so that if they do not connect within 10 seconds, they are garbage collected.
This is to avoid a memory leak in the scenario where a person rapidly refreshes a class-based (state maintaining) Kitten page. In such a scenario, the almost instant page lifecycle does not allow enough time for the page’s default WebSocket to connect and disconnect from the …

On Electric Vehicle Energy Demand Forecasting and the Effect of Federated Learning

Abstract: The wide spread of new energy resources, smart devices, and demand side management strategies has motivated several analytics operations, from infrastructure load modeling to user behavior profiling. Energy Demand Forecasting (EDF) of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipments (EVSEs) is one of the most critical operations for ensuring efficient energy management and sustainability, since it enables utility providers to anticipate energy/power demand, optimize resource allocation, and implement proactive measures to improve grid reliability. However, accurate EDF is a challenging problem due to external factors, such as the varying user routines, weather conditions, driving behaviors, unknown state of charge, etc. Furthermore, as concerns and restrictions about privacy and sustainability have grown, training data has become increasingly fragmented, resulting in distributed datasets scattered across different data silos and/or edge devices, calling for federated learning solutions. In this paper, we investigate different well-established time series forecasting methodologies to address the EDF problem, from statistical methods (the ARIMA family) to traditional machine learning models (such as XGBoost) and deep neural networks (GRU and LSTM). We provide an overview of these methods through a performance comparison over four real-world EVSE datasets, evaluated under both centralized and federated learning paradigms, focusing on the trade-offs between forecasting fidelity, privacy preservation, and energy overheads. Our experimental results demonstrate, on the one hand, the superiority of gradient boosted trees (XGBoost) over statistical and NN-based models in both prediction accuracy and energy efficiency and, on the other hand, an insight that Federated Learning-enabled models balance these factors, offering a promising direction for decentralized energy demand forecasting.

If #Apple does not know how to implement push-based sync (aka automatic sync), which is obvious by now that they do not, at least the apps should provide a “Sync now" action.
I am staring at Journal app on the #macOS #Tahoe and it does not want to sync the latest entry from the iPhone even if that entry was created over 1 hour ago.
And what of it if I made a full blown relational logic based database to make a recursive inventory Š la "Baldur's Gate 3"!
That is also what they did, so I am allowed to make a stupidly gigantic heap of hashtables to implement something that could very well be done with a couple of OOP style classes

All in the interest of a pointless decision to (re)implement the general 𝚪 function using the Lanczos approximation, but totally worth it for the experience alone.

Extending $\mu$P: Spectral Conditions for Feature Learning Across Optimizers
Akshita Gupta, Marieme Ngom, Sam Foreman, Venkatram Vishwanath

Abstract: Several variations of adaptive first-order and second-order optimization methods have been proposed to accelerate and scale the training of large language models. The performance of these optimization routines is highly sensitive to the choice of hyperparameters (HPs), which are computationally expensive to tune for large-scale models. Maximal update parameterization $(\mu$P$)$ is a set of scaling rules which aims to make the optimal HPs independent of the model size, thereby allowing the HPs tuned on a smaller (computationally cheaper) model to be transferred to train a larger, target model. Despite promising results for SGD and Adam, deriving $\mu$P for other optimizers is challenging because the underlying tensor programming approach is difficult to grasp. Building on recent work that introduced spectral conditions as an alternative to tensor programs, we propose a novel framework to derive $\mu$P for a broader class of optimizers, including AdamW, ADOPT, LAMB, Sophia, Shampoo and Muon. We implement our $\mu$P derivations on multiple benchmark models and demonstrate zero-shot learning rate transfer across increasing model width for the above optimizers. Further, we provide empirical insights into depth-scaling parameterization for these optimizers.

When the government offers to provide rebates or tax credits to low income Canadians, as recently announced by our Federal Government, most welcome the extra cash. But it doesn't address the key issue in affordable food, housing, or utilities. All of that extra government cash, provided by taxpayers BTW, gets sucked up by corporations that continue to rake in record profits. If you want to truly attack the #Affordability problem then implement laws that penalize excess profit taking by corporations. Take key necessities (food, transit, shelter, utilities, etc.) and create public options that are run as cooperatives and have controlled profit margins.

When asked whether he plans to extend the 10% global tariffs indefinitely, Donald Trump seemed to completely ignore the framework of Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act – which he’s using to implement the duties.
“We have a right to do pretty much what we want to do,” he said, ignoring the statute’s requirement for the administration to receive congressional approval for tariffs beyond 150 days.

I'd like to once again point out that Trump really really wants to be a dictator. So no surprise that he has single handedly started trade wars with hundreds of countries, blown up fishing vessels in the Caribbean, kidnapped foreign leaders, ignored court orders, launched illegal wars and likely will attempt stop the mid-term elections. There is zero oversight by the U.S. government and he does what he wants, or perhaps more accurately what his handlers want. The only thing slowing him down is his own stupidity and the incompetence of the team he chose to implement his executive orders.
To demonstrate the moronic level of his wanna be dictatorship, compare Hitler using the Olympics to showcase Nazi Germany versus Trump hosting a UFC bout on the White House lawn on July 4th.
