"Kryptokalypse": EU verlangt quantensichere Verschlüsselung – teils bis 2030
Alle Mitgliedstaaten sollen bis 2026 mit der Umstellung auf Post-Quanten-Kryptografie beginnen, fordern EU-Gremien. Bei kritischen Infrastrukturen sei es eilig.

"The first medium for humor was plain text, as was the first age of the Internet. There are Usenet groups entirely dedicated to jokes, such as rec.humor.funny or alt.humor.best-of-usenet. It was through those pre-web media that some classics were published first, like the epic Bastard Operator From Hell (BOFH) series, or the DEC WARS! storyline, a parody of Star Wars adapted to the world of UNIX and VMS minicomputers."

The stablecoin evangelist: Katie Haun's fight for digital dollars | TechCrunch
In 2018, when Bitcoin was trading around $4,000 and most Americans, at least, thought cryptocurrency was a fad, Katie Haun found herself on a debate stage in Mexico City opposite Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist. As Krugman focused on Bitcoin's wild price swings, Haun steered the conversation toward something else — stablecoins.

AggTruth: Contextual Hallucination Detection using Aggregated Attention Scores in LLMs
In real-world applications, Large Language Models (LLMs) often hallucinate, even in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) settings, which poses a significant challenge to their deployment. In this paper, we introduce AggTruth, a method for online detection of contextual hallucinations by analyzing the distribution of internal attention scores in the provided context (passage). Specifically, we propose four different variants of the method, each varying in the aggregation technique used to calcul…

Beamforming design for minimizing the signal power estimation error
We study the properties of beamformers in their ability to either maintain or estimate the true signal power of the signal of interest (SOI). Our focus is particularly on the Capon beamformer and the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) beamformer. The Capon beamformer, also known as the minimum power distortionless response (MPDR) or the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer, is a widely used method in array signal processing. A curious feature of both the Capon and the MMSE …

Advice to the Players - Frank Bidart
There is something missing in our definition, vision, of a human being:
the need to make.
We are creatures who need to make.
Because existence is willy-nilly thrust into our hands, our fate is to
make something— if nothing else, the shape cut by the arc of our lives.
My parents saw corrosively the arc of their lives.
Making is the mirror in which we see ourselves...
