LibreQoS Bufferbloat Test
Some of my company (IWL) products can create bufferbloat situations, but testing how the end-point protocols react is a separate concern.
I've written in the past about the inadequacy of "speed test" tool and how things like "iperf" can easily be (and often are) mis-interpreted. (I'll add some links).

Calamus 34 I dreamed in a dream
On the surface this short poem is a sort of City on a Hill vision. But I'm going to go with a more radical reading.
This poem reads to me as a fantasy of a gay society. A city of men, lovers, set apart from the rest of the world.
a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth ...
the quality of robust love ...
the actions of the men of that city
And in all their looks and words.
I can't plausibly argue Whitman conceived of a city set apart in the way I imagine. Although all of Calamus is him constructing the idea of a society of lovers, comrades, brothers, robust love. That to me is very gay.
Intriguingly, in the unpublished Live Oak draft of this poem it is even more explicitly gay:
I saw them tenderly love each other ...
Nothing was greater there than manly love
It seems to me he dreamed a very gay city.

Raptor: Scalable Train-Free Embeddings for 3D Medical Volumes Leveraging Pretrained 2D Foundation Models
Current challenges in developing foundational models for volumetric imaging data, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), stem from the computational complexity of training state-of-the-art architectures in high dimensions and curating sufficiently large datasets of volumes. To address these challenges, we introduce Raptor (Random Planar Tensor Reduction), a train-free method for generating semantically rich embeddings for volumetric data. Raptor leverages a frozen 2D foundation model, pretra…

Leveraging Large Language Models for Classifying App Users' Feedback
In recent years, significant research has been conducted into classifying application (app) user feedback, primarily relying on supervised machine learning algorithms. However, fine-tuning more generalizable classifiers based on existing labeled datasets remains an important challenge, as creating large and accurately labeled datasets often requires considerable time and resources. In this paper, we evaluate the capabilities of four advanced LLMs, including GPT-3.5-Turbo, GPT-4, Flan-T5, and Ll…

Calamus 33 No labor-saving machine
Another poem in a style I don't care for. A series of negations, Whitman declaiming all the things he is not doing. On a theme I also don't care for, Whitman talking about his own legacy.
The nice part is what he does imagine his legacy to be:
these carols, vibrating through the air, I leave,
For comrades and lovers.
I love that phrase "vibrating through the air", delicious poetry. And once again Whitman's declares his passion for comrades and lovers, a return to the central gay theme of Calamus.
