Bob Donovan is such a shitbag... how to assholes like this keep getting elected?
"The GOP lawmaker began paying himself $850 a month from his campaign account for "staff lodging" at his old house. He paid himself $5,950 in the seven months after the election, according to campaign reports. The item was made even more confusing by the fact that he didn't even list a campaign staffer during any of that time."

Bice: Rep. Bob Donovan was paying himself $850 a month from his campaign, until he got caught
The campaign for Rep. Bob Donovan of Greenfield was paying him $850 per month from December to June for "staff lodging" for a total of nearly $6,000.

Libra: Synergizing CUDA and Tensor Cores for High-Performance Sparse Matrix Multiplication
Sparse matrix multiplication operators (i.e., SpMM and SDDMM) are widely used in deep learning and scientific computing. Modern accelerators are commonly equipped with Tensor cores and CUDA cores to accelerate sparse operators. The former brings superior computing power but only for structured matrix multiplication, while the latter has relatively lower performance but with higher programming flexibility. In this work, we discover that utilizing one resource alone leads to inferior performance …

Multi-Source COVID-19 Detection via Variance Risk Extrapolation
We present our solution for the Multi-Source COVID-19 Detection Challenge, which aims to classify chest CT scans into COVID and Non-COVID categories across data collected from four distinct hospitals and medical centers. A major challenge in this task lies in the domain shift caused by variations in imaging protocols, scanners, and patient populations across institutions. To enhance the cross-domain generalization of our model, we incorporate Variance Risk Extrapolation (VREx) into the training…
