Not sure if those work with a prepaid sim card on a modem (nor if it’s legal to setup such an answering machine on one of them here), but I’ll do some research on it
As for voip numbers, no idea how those work and if they’re universal or if I have to get one from a provider explicitly made for Asterisk compatibility, but they seem quite expensive (specially since the prepaid ones would be basically free since it’s only for receiving calls from nerds, not making calls) anyway.

It’s exhilarating to hear Bernie Sanders speak to a crowd:
his zeal is reflected back in their faces,
his moral clarity is such a relief,
set against the cynicism and resignation of most of the Democratic party’s opposition to Trump and his administration.
Class war is as old as time, but it’s a peculiarity of this age that you rarely hear a politician name it.
“I do,” he tells me. “There is a class war going on. The people on top are waging that war.”
…

I'm afraid this is true. I already struggle to raise enough money to keep the very talented young scientists I have working with me (from many different countries already), finding funding for more will be difficult, and why should US scientists essentially queue jump just because of their nationality ? I know that sounds harsh, I have very good US colleagues, but I have to be fair to all, regardless of where they come from. OTOH, if you are a US scientist and you are interested in exploring possibilities in Denmark, give me a shout and we'll see what we can do.

Science Fiction und Fantasy im Mai 2025
For All Mankind (Apple TV) funktioniert für mich einfach. Ich habe gerade das Finale der Staffel 4 gesehen (das in einer alternativen Realität in einer Marskolonie im Jahr 2012 endet), und bin begeistert davon, weil die Serie es schafft, Politik, halbwegs plausible Wissenschaft bzw. halbwegs plausib

On Minimizers of Minimum Density
Minimizers are sampling schemes with numerous applications in computational biology. Assuming a fixed alphabet of size $σ$, a minimizer is defined by two integers $k,w\ge2$ and a linear order $ρ$ on strings of length $k$ (also called $k$-mers). A string is processed by a sliding window algorithm that chooses, in each window of length $w+k-1$, its minimal $k$-mer with respect to $ρ$. A key characteristic of the minimizer is its density, which is the expected frequency of chosen $k$-mers among…

Towards Machine Unlearning for Paralinguistic Speech Processing
In this work, we pioneer the study of Machine Unlearning (MU) for Paralinguistic Speech Processing (PSP). We focus on two key PSP tasks: Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) and Depression Detection (DD). To this end, we propose, SISA++, a novel extension to previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) MU method, SISA by merging models trained on different shards with weight-averaging. With such modifications, we show that SISA++ preserves performance more in comparison to SISA after unlearning in benchmark SE…
