I’ve started compiling a list on the Gaza Verified guide page of Mastodon instances that have publicly stated that they are sympathetic to the Palestinian plight and are a safe space for Palestinians:

If you run a Mastodon server where Palestinians can feel safe cr…

Gaza Verified
I’ve personally had video conversations on Signal with the people from Gaza whose Mastodon accounts on the fediverse are listed here and I verify that their accounts are genuine. – Aral Balkan

Okay, finally have iocaine (https://iocaine.madhouse-project.org/) running on my web server. Was a bit of an uphill battle but I'll try to write about a few things tonight to make it easier for others and document a few of the roadblocks I ran into

Surformer v2: A Multimodal Classifier for Surface Understanding from Touch and Vision
Multimodal surface material classification plays a critical role in advancing tactile perception for robotic manipulation and interaction. In this paper, we present Surformer v2, an enhanced multi-modal classification architecture designed to integrate visual and tactile sensory streams through a late(decision level) fusion mechanism. Building on our earlier Surformer v1 framework [1], which employed handcrafted feature extraction followed by mid-level fusion architecture with multi-head cross-…

Se eu disser que gostei desse prestígio maluco de banana, vocês vão me julgar muito? rs
Fiquei surpreso, mas não achei ruim não.

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) improves host networking performance by eliminating software and server CPU involvement. However, RDMA has a limited set of operations, is difficult to program, and often requires multiple round trips to perform simple application operations. Programmable SmartNICs provide a different means to offload work from host CPUs to a NIC. This leaves applications with the complex choice of embedding logic as RPC handlers at servers, using RDMA's limited interface to a…

Woof. This made my brain hurt over a few weeks between delighting customers, but I persevered.
Firecracker is the tiny, lightweight VM technology behind AWS Lambda "serverless" Function as a Service. You can run these tiny, tiny, fast VMs on-premises if that solves a business problem.
Anyway, here is an actual working tutorial that I wrote as most of the major tutorials out there did not work for me. Enjoy.

Thermodynamic limits on general far-from-equilibrium molecular templating networks
Cells produce RNA and proteins via molecular templating networks. We show that information transmission in such networks is bounded by functions of a simple thermodynamic property of the network, regardless of complexity. Surprisingly, putative systems operating at this bound do not have a high flux around the network. Instead, they have low entropy production, with each product in a ``pseudo-equilibrium'' determined by a single pathway. These pseudo-equilibrium limits constrain information tra…

I'd been waiting a few weeks to listen to the new Wet Leg album and finally did a few run throughs since I'm on vacation as was ready to take it in.
So surprise it's a good time and I'm still convinced they're the real deal.
Pokemon is my favorite deep cut. It's pretty much on repeat.
