The next time you pick up a bag of spuds from the supermarket or fill up the car with petrol, you can thank a treaty signed in 1875 for the metric system that underpins daily life.

Understanding the Theoretical Guarantees of DPM
In this study, we conducted an in-depth examination of the utility analysis of the differentially private mechanism (DPM). The authors of DPM have already established the probability of a good split being selected and of DPM halting. In this study, we expanded the analysis of the stopping criterion and provided an interpretation of these guarantees in the context of realistic input distributions. Our findings revealed constraints on the minimum cluster size and the metric weight for the scoring…

Nice to see Michael Hansmeyer still following his dreams: The White Tower was finally revealed 2 weeks ago, currently the largest 3D printed structure in the world (30 meters [90ft] tall), located in a small village in Switzerland:

Insights Informed Generative AI for Design: Incorporating Real-world Data for Text-to-Image Output
Generative AI, specifically text-to-image models, have revolutionized interior architectural design by enabling the rapid translation of conceptual ideas into visual representations from simple text prompts. While generative AI can produce visually appealing images they often lack actionable data for designers In this work, we propose a novel pipeline that integrates DALL-E 3 with a materials dataset to enrich AI-generated designs with sustainability metrics and material usage insights. After t…

EvoGrad: Metaheuristics in a Differentiable Wonderland
Differentiable programming has revolutionised optimisation by enabling efficient gradient-based training of complex models, such as Deep Neural Networks (NNs) with billions and trillions of parameters. However, traditional Evolutionary Computation (EC) and Swarm Intelligence (SI) algorithms, widely successful in discrete or complex search spaces, typically do not leverage local gradient information, limiting their optimisation efficiency. In this paper, we introduce EvoGrad, a unified different…

Exploring Prompt Patterns in AI-Assisted Code Generation: Towards Faster and More Effective Developer-AI Collaboration
The growing integration of AI tools in software development, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, has revolutionized how developers approach coding tasks. However, achieving high-quality code often requires iterative interactions, which can be time-consuming and inefficient. This paper explores the application of structured prompt patterns to minimize the number of interactions required for satisfactory AI-assisted code generation. Using the DevGPT dataset, we analyzed sev…

Supershear-subshear-supershear rupture associated with the 2025 Mandalay Earthquake in Myanmar
We investigate the complex rupture dynamics of the 2025 Mandalay Earthquake (Mw 7.7), which occurred along the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar on March 28, 2025, at 06:20 UTC. The earthquake involved a near-vertical strike-slip rupture of approximately 400 km, with 2 to 6 meters of shallow slip. A unique video recording of surface rupture, captured 124 km south of the epicenter, provided crucial near-fault data that would have otherwise been unavailable. Analysis of the video and other data revealed…

Artificial Muscles
Artificial Muscles is an eBook in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It is found on a receptionist desk in the Sarif Manufacturing Plant and is noted as Volume 6 when read in the media log. This eBook is required for the Doctorate achievement. From a seminar by Hugh Darrow, Spring 2009. In the earliest iterations, artificial musculature technologies were crude patchwork of pistons, pneumatics and electric motors; but those systems have been surpassed by the creation of synthetic proxies that mimic the a
