Adding All Flavors: A Hybrid Random Number Generator for dApps and Web3
Random numbers play a vital role in many decentralized applications (dApps), such as gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Existing random number provision mechanisms can be roughly divided into two categories, on-chain, and off-chain. On-chain approaches usually rely on the blockchain as the major input and all computations are done by blockchain nodes. The major risk for this type of method is that the input itself is susceptible to the adversary's influence. Off-chain…

Evaluating End-User Device Energy Models in Sustainability Reporting of Browser-Based Web Services
Sustainability reporting in web-based services increasingly relies on simplified energy and carbon models such as the Danish Agency of Digital Government's Digst framework and the United Kingdom-based DIMPACT model. Although these models are widely adopted, their accuracy and precision remain underexplored. This paper presents an empirical study evaluating how well such models reflect actual energy consumption during realistic user interactions with common website categories. Energy use was mea…

On a more positive note, my home now features a #vacuum robot running the open source #Valetudo cloud replacement. The guide on how to do that was surprisingly easy to follow. Some light soldering, a bit of flashing that's pretty similar to rooting an Android device, and it's done.
And becau…

Gravitational Wave Signatures from Lepton Number Breaking Phase Transitions with Flat Potentials
Extensions of the Standard Model typically contain ``flaton fields" defined as fields with large vacuum expectation values and almost flat potentials where scalar self-coupling is small or vanishes at tree level. Such potentials have been used to drive a secondary inflationary epoch after a primary phase of inflation, in what are called thermal inflation models. Although the primordial, high-scale inflationary epoch can solve the horizon and flatness problems, it does not always resolve difficu…

Because #accessibility is out of scope for Baseline, devs may not know how poorly supported a feature is and miss an opportunity to vote for things that are barriers to users and risks to orgs.
