I mean this: if every receiver just connected to its source when it was ready, and we hadn't made short-timeout stateful firewalls everywhere, we'd have to deploy SO MANY fewer weird one-off services just to receive something.
Instead we have to provision certificates and public facing hostnames to get communication going. Backend development is so much more complex and less robust because of it.

Distributionally Robust Wireless Semantic Communication with Large AI Models
6G wireless systems are expected to support massive volumes of data with ultra-low latency. However, conventional bit-level transmission strategies cannot support the efficiency and adaptability required by modern, data-intensive applications. The concept of semantic communication (SemCom) addresses this limitation by focusing on transmitting task-relevant semantic information instead of raw data. While recent efforts incorporating deep learning and large-scale AI models have improved SemCom's …

eACGM: Non-instrumented Performance Tracing and Anomaly Detection towards Machine Learning Systems
We present eACGM, a full-stack AI/ML system monitoring framework based on eBPF. eACGM collects real-time performance data from key hardware components, including the GPU and network communication layer, as well as from key software stacks such as CUDA, Python, and PyTorch, all without requiring any code instrumentation or modifications. Additionally, it leverages libnvml to gather process-level GPU resource usage information. By applying a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to the collected multidime…

The QTF-Backbone: Proposal for a Nationwide Optical Fibre Backbone in Germany for Quantum Technology and Time and Frequency Metrology
The recent breakthroughs in the distribution of quantum information and high-precision time and frequency (T&F) signals over long-haul optical fibre networks have transformative potential for physically secure communications, resilience of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and fundamental physics. However, so far these capabilities remain confined to isolated testbeds, with quantum and T&F signals accessible, for example in Germany, to only a few institutions. We propose the QTF-Back…

Trump learned about the timing of Musk’s departure in the same manner that the president himself has often used to share significant personnel news:
via a social-media post
"The president knew that Musk would be leaving soon, but not the exact timing until the post was sent"
