Wet run, 6 miles, kept it under 9 minute mile on a new route up north (barely!). Found an abandoned farm house too, very lovely route. All but 200 feet were paved, mostly gravel and water, as former logging roads go 😆
Knee pain on my right afterward, forgot to bring the brace with on this trip, unfortunately. We’ll see how the rest of the week goes 🤞 Air quality tanks tomorrow too, winds coming from the north 😕

What I wanted to do:
- Check photos and videos from last weekend
What I did:
- noticed a bug on my website
- enabled logging
- wrecked the configure and thus took the website offline
- recovered from backup
- properly enabled logging
- reported the bug
- Canceled a magazine subscription
- handled all remaining emails in my inbox
...
Decided to be too tired for photos. Great...

Defects4Log: Benchmarking LLMs for Logging Code Defect Detection and Reasoning
Logging code is written by developers to capture system runtime behavior and plays a vital role in debugging, performance analysis, and system monitoring. However, defects in logging code can undermine the usefulness of logs and lead to misinterpretations. Although prior work has identified several logging defect patterns and provided valuable insights into logging practices, these studies often focus on a narrow range of defect patterns derived from limited sources (e.g., commit histories) and…

Lightweight and High-Throughput Secure Logging for Internet of Things and Cold Cloud Continuum
The growing deployment of resource-limited Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their expanding attack surfaces demand efficient and scalable security mechanisms. System logs are vital for the trust and auditability of IoT, and offloading their maintenance to a Cold Storage-as-a-Service (Cold-STaaS) enhances cost-effectiveness and reliability. However, existing cryptographic logging solutions either burden low-end IoT devices with heavy computation or create verification delays and storage inef…

There are so many references to Trump in the Epstein files that a thousand FBI agents are working around the clock to flag them, presumably so they can be expunged in some manner:
A log exists tracking the mentions of Donald Trump in the files, and that there were approximately 100,000 files containing roughly 300,000 pages. Individual analysts were told to flag mentions of Trump by document and page number by logging them in an Excel spreadsheet, then they’d hand …

More than four years in prison for cutting down a tree?
🤨
It isn't in fact for cutting down the tree of course, it's for cutting down the meme of the famous tree.
Four years in jail for cutting down a meme.
Jail doesn't work and won't help here any more than anywhere else, but perhaps it's true that cutting down a meme is more serious than unlicensed logging.

Not upgrading all the SQS code using boto.sqs.Message to boto3 has finally bitten me on the ass as boto just doesn't work on Python 3.12 which is what I'm moving to.
And I'm moving it because 3.7 has become the 2.7 of Python 3. Whilst I originally targeted 3.9 that is slipping away too.
There is a lot of SQS going on, not just pipelining but logging. The logging is kind of Schroedinger logging as I don't bother with it unless I need to.

A co-deployed dust-logging instrument for the IceCube Upgrade and IceCube-Gen2
A precise understanding of the optical properties of the instrumented Antarctic ice sheet is crucial to the performance of optical Cherenkov telescopes such as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and its planned successor, IceCube-Gen2. One complication arising from the large envisioned footprint of IceCube-Gen2 is the larger impact of the so-called ice tilt. It describes the undulation of ice layers of constant optical properties within the detector. In this contribution, we will describe the pro…

Short proofs without interference

Short proofs without interference
Interference is a phenomenon on proof systems for SAT solving that is both counter-intuitive and bothersome when developing proof-logging techniques. However, all existing proof systems that can produce short proofs for all inprocessing techniques deployed by SAT present this feature. Based on insights from propositional dynamic logic, we propose a framework that eliminates interference while preserving the same expressive power of interference-based proofs. Furthermore, we propose a first buil…

Once again, the federal government released its annual State of Canada’s Forests report, and once again, it reads more like a promotional brochure for the logging industry than a comprehensive stock-taking assessment of what's happening in forests across Canada.
Instead of confronting the growing threats of forest fragmentation, the loss of old growth and primary forests and climate disruption, the report paints a rosy picture that downplays the real impacts of industrial logging o…

Developers insert logging statements in source code to capture relevant runtime information essential for maintenance and debugging activities. Log level choice is an integral, yet tricky part of the logging activity as it controls log verbosity and therefore influences systems' observability and performance. Recent advances in ML-based log level prediction have leveraged large language models (LLMs) to propose log level predictors (LLPs) that demonstrated promising performance improvements (AU…

PDLogger: Automated Logging Framework for Practical Software Development
Logging is indispensable for maintaining the reliability and diagnosability of modern software, yet developers still struggle to decide where and how to log effectively. Existing automated logging techniques focus on isolated sub-tasks - predicting a single log position, level, or message - and therefore cannot produce complete, high-quality log statements that reflect real-world practice in which multiple logs often appear inside one method. They also neglect deeper semantic dependencies among…

Central Limit Theorems for Transition Probabilities of Controlled Markov Chains
We develop a central limit theorem (CLT) for the non-parametric estimator of the transition matrices in controlled Markov chains (CMCs) with finite state-action spaces. Our results establish precise conditions on the logging policy under which the estimator is asymptotically normal, and reveal settings in which no CLT can exist. We then build upon it to derive CLTs for the value, Q-, and advantage functions of any stationary stochastic policy, including the optimal policy recovered from the est…

Unidentified and Confounded? Understanding Two-Tower Models for Unbiased Learning to Rank
Additive two-tower models are popular learning-to-rank methods for handling biased user feedback in industry settings. Recent studies, however, report a concerning phenomenon: training two-tower models on clicks collected by well-performing production systems leads to decreased ranking performance. This paper investigates two recent explanations for this observation: confounding effects from logging policies and model identifiability issues. We theoretically analyze the identifiability conditio…

Seismic acoustic impedance inversion is one of the most challenging tasks in geophysical exploration, facing difficulties such as insufficient well-logging data and non-linear relationships.

In this work, we propose a novel inversion framework that innovatively maps continuous seismic traces into high-dimensional linear features, transforming the…
