Grappig dat je in t ziekenhuis pas ontdekt in wat voor 5G deadzone je eigenlijk dagelijks leeft als je foon (ook tijdens gebruik) flink langer mee gaat met zn accu.. 🙈🙈😅

Good to see the EU tackling the really big problems.
Excellent work, @…! Do fries next, you muppets. https://indieweb.social/@jbz/115384438…

Simple linesearch-free first-order methods for nonconvex optimization
This paper presents an auto-conditioned proximal gradient method for nonconvex optimization. The method determines the stepsize using an estimation of local curvature and does not require any prior knowledge of problem parameters and any linesearch procedures. Its convergence analysis is carried out in a simple manner without assuming the convexity, unlike previous studies. We also provide convergence analysis in the presence of the Kurdyka--Łojasiewicz property, adaptivity to the weak smoothn…

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence as a Strategic Growth Catalyst for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transitioned from a futuristic concept reserved for large corporations to a present-day, accessible, and essential growth lever for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). For entrepreneurs and business leaders, strategic AI adoption is no longer an option but an imperative for competitiveness, operational efficiency, and long-term survival. This report provides a comprehensive framework for SME leaders to navigate this technological shift, offering the found…

200,000+ Deep Learning Inferred Periods of Stellar Variability from The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae
Stars exhibit a range of variability periods that depend on their mass, age, and evolutionary stage. For space-based photometric data, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated success in recovering and measuring periodic variability from photometric missions like Kepler and TESS. All-sky ground-based surveys can have similar if not longer baselines than space-based missions, however these datasets are more challenging to work with due to irregular sampling, more complex systematic…
