I have some more #photos from the lake from the previous post 😄
For these I went on another side of the lake where there were quite some heather around. - While my wife was taking a small snack, I walked around and searched for nice foregrounds with which I could play and make an appealing memory
And even though I'd also have taken a small rest, I'm more than happy that I spe…

I started getting reports of an unseasonal Joshua tree bloom in the last few weeks, and looking over records on @inaturalist.bsky.social it's pretty widespread! So we're putting out the call for folks to record this "bonus bloom" and help us study it

My wife says that these are annual-type 𝑅𝑢𝑑𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑎 which makes sense because I found them in an annual bed a few weeks ago

Marc Gurman said that Apple's plan to bring more ads to iOS is "gaining traction,"
-- with the Maps app being next in line.
The project will apparently give restaurants and other businesses the option to pay to have their details featured more prominently in search.
The system is said to be similar to Search Ads in the App Store, which allows developers to pay to have their software appear in a promoted slot above other results

Ok. We should be really concerned if Trump's negotiator were not disappointed.

BloomAPR: A Bloom's Taxonomy-based Framework for Assessing the Capabilities of LLM-Powered APR Solutions
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have accelerated the development of AI-driven automated program repair (APR) solutions. However, these solutions are typically evaluated using static benchmarks such as Defects4J and SWE-bench, which suffer from two key limitations: (1) the risk of data contamination, potentially inflating evaluation results due to overlap with LLM training data, and (2) limited ability to assess the APR capabilities in dynamic and diverse contexts. In this paper,…

I just read about #FootpathFriday and thought this photo from my last blogpost could fit as well.

#Gaza: 86% of cultivation destroyed and 12% Inacessible (probably an underestimate now). Much of the land from which Palestinians expelled in 1948 afforested with non native, non-food trees, to obliterate traces of Palestinians ties with and care for the soil, and to build the lie of 'making the desert bloom'.
Palestinian culture lives with the land. Israeli culture seeks it's domina…

Time To Replace Your Filter: How Maplets Simplify System Design
Filters such as Bloom, quotient, and cuckoo filters are fundamental building blocks providing space-efficient approximate set membership testing. However, many applications need to associate small values with keys-functionality that filters do not provide. This mismatch forces complex workarounds that degrade performance. We argue that maplets-space-efficient data structures for approximate key-value mappings-are the right abstraction. A maplet provides the same space benefits as filters while …

Active Authentication via Korean Keystrokes Under Varying LLM Assistance and Cognitive Contexts
Keystroke dynamics is a promising modality for active user authentication, but its effectiveness under varying LLM-assisted typing and cognitive conditions remains understudied. Using data from 50 users and cognitive labels from Bloom's Taxonomy, we evaluate keystroke-based authentication in Korean across three realistic typing scenarios: bona fide composition, LLM content paraphrasing, and transcription. Our pipeline incorporates continuity-aware segmentation, feature extraction, and classific…

Developing signal processing skills: A proposal for the teaching of filters
In accordance with Bloom's taxonomy, a four-level evaluation abstraction was generated with the objective of structuring and hierarchizing curricula knowledge, allowing students to dominate a subject and progressively reach the top of Bloom's pyramid. The evaluation was conducted with 10 university students who analyzed and optimized a filtering process using MATLAB simulation while constrained by time. The results demonstrate that this novel teaching method facilitates a more profound comprehe…

Test Case Generation from Bug Reports via Large Language Models: A Cognitive Layered Evaluation Framework
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to automated software testing, yet their ability to generalize beyond memorized patterns and reason about natural language bug reports remains unclear. We present a systematic evaluation of LLM reasoning in test case generation, structured around the cognitive layers of Bloom's taxonomy: \textit{Remember}, \textit{Understand}, \textit{Apply}, \textit{Analyze}, \textit{Evaluate}, and \textit{Create}, which progressively assess higher levels o…
