VILA: I don't see anything special.
AVON: It's in the wrong place.
BLAKE: Exactly. The explosion's in the forward section. Now, you thought it was a neutron burn out but that's nowhere near the engine housing.

Path-Controlled Secure Network Coding
Multicast for securely sharing confidential data among many users is becoming increasingly important. Currently, it relies on duplicate-and-forward routing and cryptographic methods based on computational security. However, these approaches neither attain multicast capacity of the network, nor ensure long-term security against advances in computing (information-theoretic security: ITS). Existing ITS solutions--quantum key distribution (QKD), physical layer security (PLS), and secure network cod…

Cavity-enhanced symmetric second-harmonic generation
As one of the two types of backward second-harmonic generation (SHG), symmetric SHG exhibits some physical characteristics and application prospects that are distinct from those of forward SHG. It is generally realized through quasi-phase matching, which imposes more stringent requirements on the poling period and thus presents challenges for domain engineering. Although employing larger poling periods can ease fabrication, it inevitably reduces conversion efficiency, a drawback that can be com…

Roadmap towards Personalized Approaches and Safety Considerations in Non-Ionizing Radiation: From Dosimetry to Therapeutic and Diagnostic Applications
This roadmap provides a comprehensive and forward-looking perspective on the individualized application and safety of non-ionizing radiation (NIR) dosimetry in diagnostic and therapeutic medicine. Covering a wide range of frequencies, i.e., from low-frequency to terahertz, this document provides an overview of the current state of the art and anticipates future research needs in selected key topics of NIR-based medical applications. It also emphasizes the importance of personalized dosimetry, r…

When you’ve spent almost nine hours inside the vortex of Psytrance, you can bet it’s my favorite genre of all time, because once you’re hooked on 145 BPM the line between hearing and being the music completely disappears.
The bassline doesn’t just sit in the background, it takes command with ruthless precision, rewiring thought into rhythm and heartbeat into tempo, proving again and again that Psytrance isn’t just what I listen to, it’s the sound I belong to.
By the time the flow…

alright im going through my old files again and rediscovered a shitty unfinished sci-fi epic poem thing i was writing sometime when i was 14/15/idfk. all i remember about it is that it was gonna keep doing this countdown and changing structure accordingly for a really long time, i was thinking of depicting the character finding love in an ethereal sorta way for the ending, and it was gonna incorporate a enochian number square for some reason.

Today at #nhr25, I presented our talk on “Research Data Management and High-Performance Computing – How NFDI and NHR are Working Together to Build the Digital Research Infrastructure of the Future”. It was a pleasure to get to know the nhr community. I am looking forward to day two … and to many fruitful collaborations in the future.

Reshaping the Forward-Forward Algorithm with a Similarity-Based Objective
Backpropagation is the pivotal algorithm underpinning the success of artificial neural networks, yet it has critical limitations such as biologically implausible backward locking and global error propagation. To circumvent these constraints, the Forward-Forward algorithm was proposed as a more biologically plausible method that replaces the backward pass with an additional forward pass. Despite this advantage, the Forward-Forward algorithm significantly trails backpropagation in accuracy, and i…

Threat intel people, would it be OK for me to use this construction "Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters (UNC3944)" going forward when referring to this threat group. Could I also throw in the Com too?
