I was just informed about 15 minutes ago that I have another MAJOR meeting at 2pm EST with regards to work stuff.
This one isn't as intense as yesterday's could have been, but it's still discussing some major steps of what's next and similar other things.
Send some positive vibes my way and let's hope things work out with what I'm wanting and needing!
This puts me one step closer! 🤪

Vacations can be amazing. Midwits don’t understand that when you are away from your work in a radically different environment, suddenly everything makes incredible sense. My next steps are incredibly clear.

Massive thanks to the 41 people who've participated in the recent thi.ng community survey and especially those who've left more detailed comments — very helpful! Considering the maturity of the project(s) and the (combined) ~4.5k stars on Github, I was honestly hoping for a larger sample size, but will post a summary of feedback and possible next steps in the next couple of weeks... Quite a few new insights (some also very surprising, e.g. had no idea almost 45% of users are in Europ…

But no cosmology this year or next: the big sky survey has just begun and the science is hard to extract.

User Localization with HRIS and Backscatter Modulation for Next-Generation Networks
Hybrid reflective intelligent surfaces (HRISs) can support localization in sixth-generation (6G) networks thanks to their ability to generate narrow beams and at the same time receive and process locally the impinging signals. In this paper, we propose a novel protocol for user localization in a network with an HRIS. The protocol includes two steps. In the first step, the HRIS operates in full absorption mode and the user equipment (UE) transmits a signal that is locally processed at the HRIS t…

Neural Radiance Fields in Medical Imaging: Challenges and Next Steps
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), as a pioneering technique in computer vision, offer great potential to revolutionize medical imaging by synthesizing three-dimensional representations from the projected two-dimensional image data. However, they face unique challenges when applied to medical applications. This paper presents a comprehensive examination of applications of NeRFs in medical imaging, highlighting four imminent challenges, including fundamental imaging principles, inner structure requi…

5 Year Update to the Next Steps in Quantum Computing
It has been 5 years since the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Workshop on Next Steps in Quantum Computing, and significant progress has been made in closing the gap between useful quantum algorithms and quantum hardware. Yet much remains to be done, in particular in terms of mitigating errors and moving towards error-corrected machines. As we begin to transition from the Noisy-Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era to a future of fault-tolerant machines, now is an opportune time to reflect …

EnvGen: Generating and Adapting Environments via LLMs for Training Embodied Agents
Recent SOTA approaches for embodied learning via interaction directly employ large language models (LLMs) as agents to determine the next steps in an environment. Due to their world knowledge and reasoning capabilities, LLM agents achieve stronger performance than previous smaller agents based on reinforcement learning (RL); however, frequently calling LLMs is slow and expensive. Instead of directly employing LLMs as agents, can we use LLMs' reasoning capabilities to adaptively create training …

On the two-loop penguin contributions to the Anomalous Dimensions of four-quark operators
We revisit the Next-to-Leading Order (two-loop) contributions to the Anomalous Dimensions of $ΔF = 1$ four-quark operators in QCD. We devise a test for anomalous dimensions, that we regard as of general interest, and by means of which we detect a problem in the results available in the literature. Deconstructing the steps leading to the available result, we identify the source of the problem, which is related to the operator known as $Q_{11}$. We show how to fix the problem and provide the cor…

$Λ$CDM Tensions: Localising Missing Physics through Consistency Checks
$Λ$CDM tensions are by definition model dependent; one sees anomalies through the prism of $Λ$CDM. Thus, progress towards tension resolution necessitates checking the consistency of the $Λ$CDM model to localise missing physics either in redshift or scale. Since the Universe is dynamical and redshift is a proxy for time, it is imperative to first perform consistency checks involving redshift, then consistency checks involving scale, as the next steps to settle the ``systematics versus new phy…
