"How do you even know that stuff?": Barriers to expertise sharing among spreadsheet users
Spreadsheet collaboration provides valuable opportunities for learning and expertise sharing between colleagues. Sharing expertise is essential for the retention of important technical skillsets within organisations, but previous studies suggest that spreadsheet experts often fail to disseminate their knowledge to others. We suggest that social norms and beliefs surrounding the value of spreadsheet use significantly influence user engagement in sharing behaviours. To explore this, we conducted …

Analysis: YC picked just four Indian startups in 2024 vs. 66 in 2021, amid a growing trend of startups shifting their parent entities to India for domestic IPOs (The Economic Times)

From 66 to 4: Why Y Combinator backed fewer Indian startups in 2024
Y Combinator's selection of Indian startups has decreased significantly. This decline is attributed to factors like YC's US incorporation requirement and the rise of domestic IPOs. Indian startups are shifting focus to local funding options. They find domestic markets favorable for listing. YC is also prioritizing AI-focused startups. This shift impacts Indian participation. Domestic capital is growing with regulatory support.

Quantum secret sharing in a triangular superconducting quantum network
We present a three-node quantum communication testbed with a triangular topology, each side of the triangle formed by a 1.3-meter-long transmission line. We demonstrate state transfer and entanglement generation between any two nodes, generate genuine multipartite entangled GHZ states, and implement quantum secret sharing (QSS) of classical information. Our experiments show that the QSS protocol can effectively detect eavesdropping, ensuring the secure sharing of secrets. This device forms a te…

Adaptive Bandwidth Sharing for Optimizing QoE of Real-Time Video
The concept of spectrum or bandwidth sharing has gained significant global attention as a means to enhance the efficiency of real-time traffic management in wireless networks. Effective bandwidth sharing enables optimal utilization of available resources, reducing congestion and improving QoE for delay-sensitive applications such as real-time video transmission. In this paper, we propose a novel iterative semi-static bandwidth sharing policy that balances the advantages of both static and dynam…
