Legendary game designer, programmer, Space Invaders champion, and LGBTQ trailblazer Rebecca Heineman has died
Heineman's cancer fundraiser is now collecting for her funeral.

Heineman shared the message last night that her health was rapidly declining.
"It's time. According to my doctors. All further treatments are pointless," Heineman wrote.
"So, please donate so my kids can create a funeral worthy of my keyboard, Pixelbreaker! So I can make a worthy entrance for reuniting with my one true love, Jennell Jaquays."
Game developers have begun sharing their own condolences and remembrances in the wake of Heineman's death

Ihr kennt das Tieralphabet? In den USA war so ein Plakat mit Tieren von A bis Z schon vor Jahrzehnten gefühlt Pflicht in jedem Kinderzimmer. All' die Leute in den KI-Firmen sollten also damit aufgewachsen. Und trotzdem scheint das für #KI-Bildgeneratoren sehr schwierig zu sein.
Gönnt euch ein paar Schmunzler. Wie z.B. bei "B is fear" oder das Tierbild für Pinguin an.

DiffEM: Learning from Corrupted Data with Diffusion Models via Expectation Maximization
Diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative priors for high-dimensional inverse problems, yet learning them when only corrupted or noisy observations are available remains challenging. In this work, we propose a new method for training diffusion models with Expectation-Maximization (EM) from corrupted data. Our proposed method, DiffEM, utilizes conditional diffusion models to reconstruct clean data from observations in the E-step, and then uses the reconstructed data to refine the cond…

Constant-time support lands in LLVM: Protecting cryptographic code at the compiler level
Trail of Bits developed constant-time coding support for LLVM 21 that prevents compilers from breaking cryptographic implementations vulnerable to timing attacks, introducing the __builtin_ct_select family of intrinsics that preserve constant-time properties throughout compilation.

Still awaiting A Poison Tree. These decade-plus-long development cycles irk me greatly. 🤨
