pySpainMobility: a Python Package to Access and Manage Spanish Open Mobility Data
Mobility patterns play a critical role in a wide range of societal challenges, from epidemic modeling and emergency response to transportation planning and regional development. Yet, access to high-quality, timely, and openly available mobility data remains limited. In response, the Spanish Ministry of Transportation and Sustainable Mobility has released daily mobility datasets based on anonymized mobile phone data, covering districts, municipalities, and greater urban areas from February 2020 …

TraGe: A Generic Packet Representation for Traffic Classification Based on Header-Payload Differences
Traffic classification has a significant impact on maintaining the Quality of Service (QoS) of the network. Since traditional methods heavily rely on feature extraction and large scale labeled data, some recent pre-trained models manage to reduce the dependency by utilizing different pre-training tasks to train generic representations for network packets. However, existing pre-trained models typically adopt pre-training tasks developed for image or text data, which are not tailored to traffic d…

PermRust: A Token-based Permission System for Rust
Permission systems which restrict access to system resources are a well-established technology in operating systems, especially for smartphones. However, as such systems are implemented in the operating system they can at most manage access on the process-level. Since moderns software often (re)uses code from third-parties libraries, a permission system for libraries can be desirable to enhance security.

This ideal has never truly been realized in history, which makes it all the more important to keep striving for it.

rant on software dev practices
What is it with P5js and virtually all its ecosystem (like Q5js) that, still today, didn't manage to _properly_ package their libraries to be distributed and used via package managers?
Same with their insistence to push global resources and state everywhere... and of course virtually not documenting any of the truly delicate details, just the trivial stuff that could be auto-discovered by relying on auto-complete tools.
I kind of understand wanting to keep the vanilla experience alive, making it "easy" for novices... but that shouldn't be at odds with more "professionalized" production pipelines, at least *not that much*.
For example, with Q5js:
- The NPM packages could be mentioned in their documentation (they are not, even though they are official)
- The NPM packages could define proper exports (same for the JS modules themselves), not forcing us to rely on relative paths to files in node_modules... 🤦
- Globals could be at least namespaced... of course, it would be much, much better if they didn't exist at all.
I'm writing this in 2025, not 1993... and I'm... "triggered".
At this point I'll have to check if I have any other neuro-condition beyond ADHD that makes me "obsessed" with technical flaws, because it seems to be a "me problem" when either virtually nobody sees that as a huge collection of fatal design flaws... or they see it and don't care at all.

Read "What went wrong with capitalism" by Ruchir Sharma.
A mildly interesting description of the major events in world an US economics in the last 50 years. Might
be a fair summary for anyone who didn't live through it or has a poor memory.
In short he thinks what went wrong was government bailing out failure leading to massive debts and increa
sed inequality.
Governments took over all the things instead of letting capitalism sort them out, he reckons, and wheneve
r a big industry or company fails you just get socialism for the rich and a bail-out from new printed money.
Easy cheap money, constant bail-outs, government intervention, leading to zombie companies racking up every larger debt to exist, billionaires who can't fail due to government support, and a stock market that's up-only bringing a flood of inefficiently-allocated capital.
Is he right? I mean, maybe, sort of. But when an industry really can't be allowed to fail, say water supply and waterway management, allowing private capital to extract maximum resources from it isn't the best method to manage it in the first place. No wonder they need bail-outs. Capitalism fails here because capitalism isn't the right solution here. We need publicly owned national services, not robber barons without
bailouts.
So, you know, half right. Perhaps these are some of the reasons why capitalism fails, but also we shouldn't even be trying to apply capitalism to every single thing in the first place.

Cognitive-Radio Functionality: A Novel Configuration for STAR-RIS assisted RSMA Networks
Cognitive radio rate-splitting multiple access (CR-RSMA) has emerged as a promising multiple access framework that can efficiently manage interference and adapt dynamically to heterogeneous quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. To effectively support such demanding access schemes, programmable wireless environments have attracted considerable attention, especially through simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (STAR-RISs), which can enable full-space con…

Balanced Area Deprivation Index (bADI): Enhancing social determinants of health indices to strengthen their association with healthcare clinical outcomes, utilization and costs
Background: As value-based care expands across the U.S. healthcare system, reducing health disparities has become a priority. Social determinants of health (SDoH) indices, like the widely used Area Deprivation Index (ADI), guide efforts to manage patient health and costs. However, the ADI's reliance on housing-related variables (e.g., median home value) may reduce its effectiveness, especially in high-cost regions, by masking inequalities and poor health outcomes. Methods: To overcome these l…

A Causation-Based Framework for Pricing and Cost Allocation of Energy, Reserves, and Transmission in Modern Power Systems
The increasing vulnerability of power systems has heightened the need for operating reserves to manage contingencies such as generator outages, line failures, and sudden load variations. Unlike energy costs, driven by consumer demand, operating reserve costs arise from addressing the most critical credible contingencies - prompting the question: how should these costs be allocated through efficient pricing mechanisms? As an alternative to previously reported schemes, this paper presents a new c…

Limits to Growth was right about collapse.

Limits to Growth was right about collapse
The only question is whether we manage degrowth or just let it happen to us. This isn’t a neutral question. I know which one of these is worse.

excellent description of executive functioning predicaments
... in a thread at Ask a Manager about ADHD.
I wouldn't recommend the whole comments section this time, because there was too much "well _I_ manage" and missing the point, but I thought this comment from "Han about town" laid out the essence of it really well. Here's a snippet on the challenge of consistently filling out timesheets:
"Monetary penalties or privileges have zero effect on the behaviour, because the behaviour is not moderated by risk, reward, or consequences. It’s moderated by how well I’m able to perform a very rote, boring, *consistent* task on a repeated basis, which is very poorly."

A Framework for Ethical Judgment of Smart City Applications
As modern cities increasingly adopt a variety of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to collect and analyze data about residents, environments, and public services, they are fostering greater interactions among smart city applications, residents, governments, and businesses. This trend makes it essential for regulators to focus on these interactions to manage smart city practices effectively and prevent unethical outcomes. To facilitate ethical analysis for smart city applications…

Mein #BGE verlost wieder fünf realistische und 20 utopische #Grundeinkommen. Am 11. Juni, 20:30.

Happy , today I deployed a #Forgejo instance to manage my private code projects. I won't be using #Github anymore for my stuff, only to contribute to 3rd party projects.
I still have some pending work to configure the CI workers, but I'll leave that for next week.
Along the way I've learnt some stuff about #OpenTofu and networking. Enough to know that I still prefer to be on the dev side of the "devops" .

On Loss-Minimal Radial Topologies in MV Systems
Distribution system reconfiguration (DSR) means optimizing the topology of a distribution grid using switching actions. Switching actions are a degrees of freedom available to distribution system operators, e.g. to manage planned and unplanned outages. DSR is a NP-hard combinatorial problem. Finding good or even optimal solutions is computationally expensive. While transmission and high-voltage grids are generally operated in a meshed state, MV distribution systems are commonly operated as radi…

OrderFusion: Encoding Orderbook for End-to-End Probabilistic Intraday Electricity Price Prediction
Accurate and reliable probabilistic prediction of intraday electricity prices is essential to manage market uncertainties and support robust trading strategies. However, current methods rely heavily on domain feature extraction and fail to capture the dynamics between buy and sell orders, limiting the ability to form rich representations of the orderbook. Furthermore, these methods often require training separate models for different quantiles and introduce additional procedures-such as post-ho…

Leveraging 5G Physical Layer Monitoring for Adaptive Remote Rendering in XR Applications
As immersive eXtended Reality (XR) applications demand substantial network resources, understanding their interaction with 5G networks becomes crucial to improve them. This paper investigates the role of 5G physical-layer monitoring to manage and enhance the remote rendering of XR content dynamically. By observing network metrics directly from the physical layer, we propose a system to adapt streaming parameters such as bitrate, framerate, and resolution in real time based on available network …
