Mit der LAYR Open Chip Challenge wird für Studierende der abstrakte, aber hochrelevante Raum des #Mikrochip-Designs geöffnet: Studierende entwickeln eigene Chipdesigns mit einer #Open-Source Werkzeugkette. 👉 Mehr dazu: layr-challenge.de
You didn't know you needed quantum chess until you discovered its existence.
It can't be played in the physical world, but computers can make it possible.

A significant amount of safety research has existed for decades on Human Machine Interfaces proving exactly this. It's exhausting to watch money and effort wasted in a tech hype cycle to constantly undo and redo what we already know in safety engineering.
That is pretty obvious to me. If a paper has hallucinations, fake citations or other LLM artifacts, it should be immediately desk rejected.
Das war „Die Nacht, die Wissen schafft“ 2025! Ein Rückblick auf den 8. November: An allen Standorten der #LUH haben Besucher/-innen Labore, Forschungsbauten, Hörsäle und Seminarräume erkundet und Einblicke in die vielfältigen Forschungsthemen erhalten. Vielen Dank und bis zum nächsten Mal 2027!
Leitkultur, Stadtbild, Brandmauer - darüber habe ich heute mit DLF-Kultur gesprochen und außerdem die Frage beantwortet, was unsere Gesellschaft zusammenhält. Das alles in 6:41 Minuten. Hier geht’s zum Link 👉 www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/leitkultur-u...
Social media feeds today are optimized for engagement, often leading to misalignment between users' intentions and technology use.
In a new paper, we introduce Bonsai, a tool to create feeds based on stated preferences, rather than predicted engagement.

Even if the EU market for US spec vehicles remains small, our wider fear is that all non-US manufacturers will put enormous pressure to level EU standards down, with devastating results for road safety.

Mit anderen Worten: die AfD will ARD, ZDF, Deutschlandfunk, 3sat, Phoenix, Arte und alle öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkprogramme abschaffen. Motto: AfD statt ARD. Der ÖRR war die Antwort auf Goebbels und ist ein Bollwerk gegen rechtsextremistische Wirklichkeitsverdrehung. Gut, dass es den ÖRR gibt
The scientific director of CNRS (France's biggest decentralized research institute) has expressed his insatisfaction with IEEE adding an additional fee for papers made available by authors.
I think all CVF papers will eventually be targeted.

After all these reports of authors adding language instructions for LLM reviews in their papers I wanted to check this myself and I downloaded the .tex source from one of these papers.
Here is an example.
(I will not share the identity of the paper)
Prompt injection means email viruses are back. A researcher found a security vulnerability where you send an email with hidden instructions which when CoPilot scans the email, executes and then hides the source of the instructions.
It took Microsoft 5 months to fix the issue.
Cause for celebration: millions of euros in continued funding for research on photonics, measurements at the quantum frontier and personalised care for hearing loss. #LUH has been granted funding for three Clusters of Excellence and will apply for University of Excellence status.
Rosen, J., et al. Roadmap on computational methods in optical imaging and holography. Appl. Phys. B (2024).
This roadmap reviews four major areas: incoherent digital holography, quantitative phase imaging, imaging through scattering layers, and super-resolution imaging.

A record increase in atmospheric CO2 according to data released by NOAA gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/..., much higher than projected in the Global Carbon Budget essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/....
This occurred in the presence of an El Niño (red bars, data also from NOAA!).
What does this mean?

It goes both ways. While there is still no official policy on that matter we are starting to see self censoring by students if the venue is in US.
I'm a Jupiterist: only objects massive enough and far enough from their star such that the system barycenter is outside the star's surface should be called planets.

Computer vision has some work to do to detect fake walls, compared to Lidars ... it's not even clear to me how this can be reliably solved.

"The mRNA vaccines prevented millions of deaths. [...] Masks worked. And as with every pandemic in recent history, subsequent reviews have found that the advice to go early and hard with containment was correct."

I love the new citations preview in overleaf, this is really useful!

This review paper by @guillaume-garrigos.com on SGD-related algorithms is a fantastic resource, offering elegant, self-contained, and concise proofs in a single, accessible reference. arxiv.org/pdf/2301.11235
Exponential backoff with randomization certainly helps (converges). If you have many clients doing that you get a low throughput through (at least that was one of the lessons learned with older wifi)
A single point of failure for academia...
‘Walz’s appreciation for maps pairs with Vice President Harris’s oft-mentioned love of Venn diagrams in what might be the most data visualization-oriented ticket in history.’
