Floating platform to produce synthetic fuels using wind, seawater, and air
Off-grid, modular, and seaworthy: KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and partners intend to produce synthetic fuels on a floating platform using wind energy, seawater, and ambient air. For this purpose, the "PtX-Wind" project was launched under the H2Mare lead project. A corresponding modular plant was installed on a barge and lies operational at anchor in Bremerhaven. Later this year, it will start producing synthetic fuel directly on the sea just off Helgoland Island.

Attributes as Textual Genes: Leveraging LLMs as Genetic Algorithm Simulators for Conditional Synthetic Data Generation
Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at generating synthetic data, but ensuring its quality and diversity remains challenging. We propose Genetic Prompt, a novel framework that combines genetic algorithms with LLMs to augment synthetic data generation. Our approach treats semantic text attributes as gene sequences and leverages the LLM to simulate crossover and mutation operations. This genetic process enhances data quality and diversity by creating novel attribute combinations, yielding syntheti…

SynthGenNet: a self-supervised approach for test-time generalization using synthetic multi-source domain mixing of street view images
Unstructured urban environments present unique challenges for scene understanding and generalization due to their complex and diverse layouts. We introduce SynthGenNet, a self-supervised student-teacher architecture designed to enable robust test-time domain generalization using synthetic multi-source imagery. Our contributions include the novel ClassMix++ algorithm, which blends labeled data from various synthetic sources while maintaining semantic integrity, enhancing model adaptability. We f…

CVS has the 2025-2026 COVID vaccine available in NJ. When making the appointment you self-verify that you have an allowed condition.

Well, this sucks. #BigUglyBill #Trump #Congress

There were significant fewer American flags flying in my suburban NJ neighborhood this Fourth of July.

Somebody needs to make a parody song Drone Shack to the tune of Love Shack.

I can immediately think of 3 relatives who will be harmed by the Big Ugly Bill that passed today. A 4th is a possibility. My wife and I may have to financially support some of these folks as a result.
How many of your folks are hurt?
