Tokopedia sellers say Tokopedia's strengths have eroded since its TikTok Shop merger in Indonesia, driving thousands of sellers to join rivals, including Toco (Michelle Anindya/Rest of World)

TikTok’s messy merger in Indonesia could be a preview of what’s to come in the U.S.
A year after merging with local giant Tokopedia, TikTok’s business model is alienating sellers, forcing many to join rival platforms.

Flow Straight and Fast in Hilbert Space: Functional Rectified Flow
Many generative models originally developed in finite-dimensional Euclidean space have functional generalizations in infinite-dimensional settings. However, the extension of rectified flow to infinite-dimensional spaces remains unexplored. In this work, we establish a rigorous functional formulation of rectified flow in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. Our approach builds upon the superposition principle for continuity equations in an infinite-dimensional space. We further show that this …

«Fed up with ChatGPT, Latin America is building its own»
Please folks, the torment nexus isn't any better just because it's home-made… I hate how the intellectually bankrupt narratives of Silicon Valley are just copied over, as if that solved anything.

Molecule Mixture Detection and Alphabet Design for Non-linear, Cross-reactive Receiver Arrays in MC
Air-based molecular communication (MC) has the potential to be one of the first MC systems to be deployed in real-world applications, enabled by existing sensor technologies such as metal-oxide semi-conductor (MOS) sensors. However, commercially available sensors usually exhibit non-linear and cross-reactive behavior, contrary to the idealizing assumptions about linear and perfectly molecule type-specific sensing often made in the MC literature. To address this gap, we propose a detector for mo…

Hybrid Data-Driven Predictive Control for Robust and Reactive Exoskeleton Locomotion Synthesis
Robust bipedal locomotion in exoskeletons requires the ability to dynamically react to changes in the environment in real time. This paper introduces the hybrid data-driven predictive control (HDDPC) framework, an extension of the data-enabled predictive control, that addresses these challenges by simultaneously planning foot contact schedules and continuous domain trajectories. The proposed framework utilizes a Hankel matrix-based representation to model system dynamics, incorporating step-to-…

China’s vision for a driverless future is miles ahead of everyone else’s
Strong government backing and strict regulatory oversight of the Chinese autonomous vehicle industry contrasts sharply with the piecemeal laws and slower adoption in the U.S.
