By some measures, TikTok has grown bigger than Facebook or Instagram in the US
Oracle’s potential TikTok takeover is a big deal to US competitors like Meta and Snap.

Dammit. Why cant we have nice things? At least I did get an hour in today.

Vesturbæjarlaug closed again due to paintwork defect - RÚV.is
Vesturbæjarlaug has been closed for the second time in a short period. The pool was closed for two months earlier this summer for maintenance but now closes unexpectedly again due to a fault in the paintwork.

400 lucas es cuiquísimo, amigo. Yo pagaba como 4 lucas mensualescon suerte y en mi pueblo eso considerado un colegio cuico. Lo que pasa es que los que pagan en UF son una burbuja de cuiquismo incomparable.

Imperfect Competition in Markets for Short-Circuit Current Services
An important limitation of Inverter-Based Resources (IBR) is their reduced contribution to Short-Circuit Current (SCC), as compared to that of Synchronous Generators (SGs). With increasing penetration of IBR in most power systems, the reducing SCC poses challenges to a secure system operation, as line protections may not trip when required. In order to address this issue, the SCC ancillary service could be procured via an economic mechanism, aiming at securing adequate SCC on all buses. However…

Je découvre ce type d'agence de voyage, je comprends les témoignages. Les photos sont juste superbes.

Point3R: Streaming 3D Reconstruction with Explicit Spatial Pointer Memory
Dense 3D scene reconstruction from an ordered sequence or unordered image collections is a critical step when bringing research in computer vision into practical scenarios. Following the paradigm introduced by DUSt3R, which unifies an image pair densely into a shared coordinate system, subsequent methods maintain an implicit memory to achieve dense 3D reconstruction from more images. However, such implicit memory is limited in capacity and may suffer from information loss of earlier frames. We …

Model Predictive Black Start for Dynamic Formation of DER-Led Microgrids with Inrush Current Impacts
Black start (BS) of the distribution system (DS) with high penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) requires advanced control frameworks to ensure secure and efficient restoration. This paper proposes a model predictive black start (MPBS) framework incorporating an inrush current feasibility module to dynamically generate real-time feasible and optimal restoration sequences. Short-term forecasts of DER output and transmission grid (TG) availability are utilized to construct adaptive c…

While NUL and NULL both refer to numeric values 0, NUL is used in the context of ASCII (a single byte), whereas NULL is used in the context of pointers.
My headcanon is now that NULL is short for "NUL, Long".

Directional Price Forecasting in the Continuous Intraday Market under Consideration of Neighboring Products and Limit Order Books
The increasing penetration of variable renewable energy and flexible demand technologies, such as electric vehicles and heat pumps, introduces significant uncertainty in power systems, resulting in greater imbalance; defined as the deviation between scheduled and actual supply or demand. Short-term power markets, such as the European continuous intraday market, play a critical role in mitigating these imbalances by enabling traders to adjust forecasts close to real time. Due to the high volatil…
