Kaum etwas bereitete mir in letzter Zeit dermaßen Sorge wie die Tatsache, dass ein Artikel, der darüber aufklärt, dass Pommes schon immer pflanzlich waren, überhaupt notwendig ist.

Pommes Panik: Burger Kings Satire-Schock!
Eine Meldung über die Umstellung von Burger King auf "pflanzliche Pommes" sorgt in sozialen Netzwerken für Aufregung.

Compact Speech Translation Models via Discrete Speech Units Pretraining
Using Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) as model initialization is now common to obtain strong results in Speech Translation (ST). However, they also impose a large memory footprint, hindering on-device deployment. In this paper, we leverage the SSL models by pretraining smaller models on their Discrete Speech Units (DSU). We pretrain encoder-decoder models on 1) Filterbank-to-DSU and 2) DSU-to-Translation data, and take the encoder from 1) and the decoder from 2) to initialise a new model, finetu…

First season of Kin (2021) was very good. Moving on to the second season now (no spoilers please).
Aiden Gillen kind of getting typecast as Irish crime boss after the also excellent Love/Hate (2010)

Freilassung verschleppter Kinder vermittelt
Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj hat sich bei Katar für Hilfe bei der Freilassung von 16 gewaltsam nach Russland verschleppten ukrainischen Kindern bedankt. "Dank der Vermittlungsbemühungen unseres befreundeten Katars wurden sie freigelassen und mit ihren Familien zusammengeführt", schrieb Selenskyj auf der Plattform X. Die Kinder und ihre Ang…

Gaussian Formalism: Concrete Realization of Joint Measurement for Heisenberg's Uncertainty Relation for Errors
We point out that the Gaussian wave-packet formalism can serve as a concrete realization of the joint measurement of position and momentum, which is an essential element in understanding Heisenberg's original philosophy of the uncertainty principle, in line with the universal framework of error, disturbance, and their uncertainty relations developed by Lee and Tsutsui. We show that our joint measurement in the Gaussian phase space, being a Positive Operator-Valued Measure (POVM) measurement, sm…

Cache-Enabled Millimetre-Wave Fluid Antenna Systems: Modeling and Performance
This letter investigates the performance of content caching in a heterogeneous cellular network (HetNet) consisting of fluid antenna system (FAS)-equipped mobile users (MUs) and millimeter-wave (mm-wave) single-antenna small base stations (SBSs), distributed according to the independent homogeneous Poisson point processes (HPPP). In particular, it is assumed that the most popular contents are cached in the SBSs to serve the FAS-equipped MUs requests. To assess the system performance, we derive …

"Hello?"
"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—"
"EDGAR. THERE'S A HUGE F**KIN' BIRD IN YOUR OFFICE, STOP TALKING"

Honestly, if I end up not being able to find a phone with a headphone jack when my current phone dies, carrying around an (open hardware) mp3 player starts to look pretty appealing. https://mastodon.social/@foon/112026547734266924
