Zero-Shot CFC: Fast Real-World Image Denoising based on Cross-Frequency Consistency
Zero-shot denoisers address the dataset dependency of deep-learning-based denoisers, enabling the denoising of unseen single images. Nonetheless, existing zero-shot methods suffer from long training times and rely on the assumption of noise independence and a zero-mean property, limiting their effectiveness in real-world denoising scenarios where noise characteristics are more complicated. This paper proposes an efficient and effective method for real-world denoising, the Zero-Shot denoiser bas…

Information Asymmetry in Queues with Strategic Customers
This paper studies information asymmetry in an unobservable single-server queueing system. While system managers have knowledge of the true arrival rate, customers may lack this information and instead form arbitrary beliefs. We propose a three-tier hierarchy of information asymmetry with increasing levels of information disclosure:customers keep private beliefs, customers are aware of the beliefs of others, and customers know the true arrival rate. Within this framework, the effects of the bel…

Ex-NFL GM kicks off Maxx Crosby trade speculation with proposal that sends Raiders 2 picks https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/news/ex-nfl-gm-maxx-crosby-trade-speculation-proposa…

Unclear to me why no one ever mentions Strongbox in #PasswordManager reviews. It is a perfectly fine PM for macOS/iOS/iPadOS that has a rich set of sync options, most of which don't involve any 2nd/3rd party storage. It stores its databases in KeePass2.x (kdbx v4) format, so it is data-compatible with the many variations of KeePass.
(I use it with SSH/SCP sync, so as long as I’m at…

Time-diffracting 2D wave vortices
Wave vortices constitute a large family of wave entities, closely related to phase singularities and orbital angular momentum (OAM). So far, two main classes of localized wave vortices have been explored: (i) transversely-localized monochromatic vortex beams that carry well-defined longitudinal OAM and propagate/diffract in space, and (ii) 2D-localized spatiotemporal vortex pulses that carry the more elusive transverse (or tilted) OAM and propagate/diffract in both space and time. Here we intro…

ProSEA: Problem Solving via Exploration Agents
Large language models (LLMs) have empowered AI agents to tackle increasingly complex tasks. However, most existing agents remain limited to static planning and brittle interactions, falling short of true collaboration or adaptive reasoning. We introduce ProSEA, a modular, general-purpose multi-agent framework designed for iterative problem solving through exploration and plan evolution. ProSEA features a hierarchical architecture in which a Manager Agent orchestrates domain-specialized Expert A…

Impact of facility timing and coordination for next-generation gravitational-wave detectors
While the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer proposals for next-generation, ground-based detectors promise vastly improved sensitivities to gravitational-wave signals, only joint observations are expected to enable the full scientific potential of these facilities, making timing and coordination between the efforts crucial to avoid missed opportunities. This study investigates the impact of long-term delays on the scientific capabilities of next-generation detector networks. We use the Fish…

Marcus Theory and The Condon Approximation Revisited I: E-SHAKE and Seam Sampling
Marcus theory is the workhorse of theoretical chemistry for predicting the rates of charge and energy transfer. Marcus theory overwhelmingly agrees with experiment -- both in terms of electron transfer and triplet energy transfer -- for the famous set of naphthalene-bridge-biphenyl and naphthalene-bridge-benzophenone systems studied by Piotrowiak, Miller, and Closs. That being said, the agreement is not perfect, and in this manuscript, we revisit one key point of disagreement: the molecule C-13…

No, @…, emphasizing the safety of vaccines is not a strawman. For everlasting fuck’s sake.
Come back to planet Earth, where:
- scare-mongering about vaccines is running rampant,
- right-wing propaganda is intentionally fueling that fear for profiteering and political gain,
- parents are very clearly afraid of the vaccines themselves right now,
- diseases like measles are making a return because of that fear, and
- people are dying as a result.
Your post is a non-sequitur. Whatever stick you have up your butt about lockdowns or whatever this post was about, please keep that stick in your butt and out of vaccine safety discussions. https://mastodon.online/@dennmans/115631732594437886

PSA for users that regularly test #Fedora Beta as well as proposed updates once the new version was released:
Do not enable updates-testing[1] by modifying /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo; instead do it like this:
$ sudo dnf config-manager setopt updates-testing.enabled=true
Otherwise updates-testing will be disabled shortly before the release of a new version (t…
