Whatching #sunset from the sunroom of 'our' beautifuly holiday cottage in #Pembrokeshire #Wales

Interesting, the #PennyFarthing and the #Tallbike are roughly the same seat height. No wonder it felt so ordinary sitting up there.

Unified Scaling Laws for Compressed Representations
Scaling laws have shaped recent advances in machine learning by enabling predictable scaling of model performance based on model size, computation, and data volume. Concurrently, the rise in computational cost for AI has motivated model compression techniques, notably quantization and sparsification, which have emerged to mitigate the steep computational demands associated with large-scale training and inference. This paper investigates the interplay between scaling laws and compression formats…

Barnehageloven skal endres, og stortingskomiteen har lagt fram ei lang og grundig innstilling etter mange utredninger og forhandlinger. Bare ett av punktene i innstillinga er enstemmig, og det handler om finansiering av private åpne barnehager.
Endelig blir åpen barnehage anerkjent av de som lager regler for barnehager!
Jeg er en av de som har levert innspill om forslaget, og er stolt over å ha blitt hŸrt.

Self-consciousness and personal identity in quantum panprotopsychism
In previous papers, we demonstrated that an ontology of quantum mechanics, described in terms of states and events with internal phenomenal aspects (a form of panprotopsychism), is well suited to explain consciousness. We showed that the combination problems of qualities, structures and subjects in panpsychism and panprotopsychism stem from implicit hypotheses based on classical physics regarding supervenience, which are not applicable at the quantum level. Within this view, consciousness arise…

Deep learning-derived arterial input function
Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging combined with radiotracer kinetic modeling is a powerful technique for visualizing biological processes in the brain, offering valuable insights into brain functions and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Accurate kinetic modeling relies heavily on the use of a metabolite-corrected arterial input function (AIF), which typically requires invasive and labor-intensive arterial blood sampling. While alternative non…

Anomalous current fluctuations and mobility-driven clustering

Anomalous current fluctuations and mobility-driven clustering
We study steady-state current fluctuations in hardcore lattice gases on a ring of $L$ sites, where $N$ particles perform symmetric, {\it extended-ranged} hopping. The hop length is a random variable depending on a length scale $l_0$ (hopping range) and the inter-particle gap. The systems have mass-conserving dynamics with global density $ρ= N/L$ fixed, but violate detailed balance. We consider two analytically tractable cases: (i) $l_0 = 2$ (finite-ranged) and (ii) $l_0 \to \infty$ (infinite-r…

Crossing from Pembroke #Wales to Rosslare #Ireland, I just saw dozens of #puffins flying close to the Ferry.
When we first stayed in #Pembrokeshire in 1998, we happened to stay near Martin's Haven one night and simply got a place on a boat to #Skomer Island when arriving at the harbour. I never again saw so many puffins so close.
When trying to reserve a trip for this summer already very early this year, all trips to Skomer were completely booked and even the wating list filled...
