My wife just sent me a Reel which shows a couple #cycling and the text (translated):
"Behind every man in comfortable Zone 2, a woman fights for survival in the slipstream"
It's a nice video but I wonder if there is a hidden message here 🤔

Seriously, linkedin spammers?
You say you came across my REcon talk. About semiconductor reverse engineering.
And this somehow makes me a good candidate for a role involving cheating at online poker???

Now that "Pocket" is shutting down, do you have another "Read It Later" platform / solution you are using?

A comparative study of physics capabilities of a liquid argon and a water based liquid scintillator at DUNE
We present a comprehensive comparison of the physics sensitivities of a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) and a Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) detector, considering their potential deployment as the fourth far detector module in the DUNE facility. Using GLoBES-based simulations, we evaluate their performance in measuring standard neutrino oscillation parameters ($θ_{23}, δ_{13}$ and $Δm^{2}_{31}$), both in standard 3-neutrino case, as well as in presence of new physics sc…

Large-Scale Training Data Attribution for Music Generative Models via Unlearning
This paper explores the use of unlearning methods for training data attribution (TDA) in music generative models trained on large-scale datasets. TDA aims to identify which specific training data points contributed to the generation of a particular output from a specific model. This is crucial in the context of AI-generated music, where proper recognition and credit for original artists are generally overlooked. By enabling white-box attribution, our work supports a fairer system for acknowledg…

A novel fast short-time root music method for vibration monitoring of high-speed spindles
Ultra-high-speed spindle bearings challenge traditional vibration monitoring due to broadband noise, non-stationarity, and limited time-frequency resolution. We present a fast Short-Time Root-MUSIC (fSTrM) algorithm that exploits FFT-accelerated Lanczos bidiagonalization to reduce computational complexity from $\mathcal{O}(N^3)$ to $SN\log_2N+S^2(N+S)+M^2(N+M)$ while preserving parametric super-resolution. The method constructs Hankel matrices from 16 ms signal frames and extracts fault fre…

I have always been a copyright sceptic but I wouldn't have wished AI to be the force to crash it. Time to think for new models of how to keep writing and music alive. Maybe a society deciding to prioritize guaranteeing giving everyone the possibility of a safe basic income, food, housing and health care instead of forcing them into competition hell could help? Maybe?

All-sky search for individual Primordial Black Hole bursts with LHAASO
Primordial Black Holes~(PBHs) are hypothetical black holes with a wide range of masses that formed in the early universe. As a result, they may play an important cosmological role and provide a unique probe of the early universe. A PBH with an initial mass of approximately $10^{15}$~g is expected to explode today in a final burst of Hawking radiation. In this work, we conduct an all-sky search for individual PBH burst events using the data collected from March 2021 to July 2024 by the Water Che…

Fx-Encoder++: Extracting Instrument-Wise Audio Effects Representations from Mixtures
General-purpose audio representations have proven effective across diverse music information retrieval applications, yet their utility in intelligent music production remains limited by insufficient understanding of audio effects (Fx). Although previous approaches have emphasized audio effects analysis at the mixture level, this focus falls short for tasks demanding instrument-wise audio effects understanding, such as automatic mixing. In this work, we present Fx-Encoder++, a novel model design…
