First EM simulations on the switch logic board after sorting out some licensing issues with the new Sonnet version.
V19 is a lot faster than v18, it doubles the thread cap from 8 to 16 and also replaces the legacy SSE based matrix solver with an AVX-based version (geee, i wonder where they might have got that from...).
First test is the BGA launch for LC0_PHY0_LANE1_TX, a 5 Gbps QSGMII link but also representative of some of the 25G SERDES.
Return loss is better than -13 dB…

Dismantling the sawmill motor to investigate an ignition failure. Changing the spark plug didn't help. It could be the HT lead but my local small engine guru says probably the coil.
Getting to the coil requires dismantling a whole lot of stuff...

Viele Fachverfahren in der Verwaltung laufen auf Excel – und viele Kommunen sind ohne Microsoft praktisch handlungsunfähig. Die Cloud-Strategie von Microsoft zwingt Behörden ab 2029 in die Abhängigkeit. Digitale Souveränität? Nur mit mutigen Schritten Richtung Open Source, wie sie Schleswig-Holstein jetzt wagt.

Scrutinizing the cosmogenic origin of the KM3-230213A event: A Multimessenger Perspective
The recent detection of the neutrino event KM3-230213A ($\sim$~220 PeV) by the KM3NeT/ARCA telescope, the most energetic ever observed, could represent the long-awaited evidence for a cosmogenic origin, arising from the interaction of an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray with background photons. Its secure confirmation would mark a major advance in high-energy astrophysics. We perform a self-consistent multimessenger transport calculation of protons and their secondary $γ$-rays and neutrinos from c…

Scrutinizing the impact of the solar modulation on AMS-02 antiproton excess
This study examines the impact of solar modulation on the antiproton excess observed by AMS-02, which may indicate dark matter (DM) annihilation. We analyze three solar modulation models: the force-field approximation (FFA), a time-, charge-, and rigidity-dependent FFA, and a three-dimensional numerical simulation based on the Parker transport equation. Based on AMS-02 latest antiproton data (2025), our results show that the significance of the DM signal is sensitive to the chosen modulation mo…

Ok, after completely revamping and drastically shortening my website today, I've decided to expand the video recommendations for channels about Linux, BSD and computers in general. I can really recommend every single one of them! The last recommendation SAMTIME is now not tech specific, but tech parodies, very funny!

Neuromorphic Online Clustering and Its Application to Spike Sorting
Active dendrites are the basis for biologically plausible neural networks possessing many desirable features of the biological brain including flexibility, dynamic adaptability, and energy efficiency. A formulation for active dendrites using the notational language of conventional machine learning is put forward as an alternative to a spiking neuron formulation. Based on this formulation, neuromorphic dendrites are developed as basic neural building blocks capable of dynamic online clustering. …
