No! Write the LAST damn draft yourself! The technology already dictates that you must write the first draft yourself because AI can only respond to your initial prompt. That initia…

Do you happen to know if German citizens can obtain a certificate to sign PDFs (from the government / for free)? Several paid providers for X.509 certificates exist but document si…

Fascinating work and inspiring application of the underlying DINOv3 image segmentation model! The blog post and paper [1] describe a promising approach to solving related problems …

This article discusses the DGX Spark GB10 GPU architecture from a hardware engineering perspective. The authors explain the trade-offs between datacenter Blackwell and consumer Bla…

This is great! I've forwarded the site to my wife. Would you mind sharing how you trained the model to produce the vectors? Are you using a vision transformer under the hood with c…

Makes sense. My main takeaway from the ColPali paper (and your comments) is that ColPali works best for document RAG, whereas vision model embeddings are best used for image simila…

Thanks for the link to the ColPali implementation - interesting! I am specifically interested in evaluation benchmarks for different image embedding models. I see the ColiVara-Eval…

Yes, you could implement image similarity search using embeddings: Create embeddings for the entire image set, save the embeddings in a database, and add embeddings incrementally a…

This article fundamentally misunderstands the role and purpose of bureaucracy. Bureaucracy is tool to manage large, complex, and heterogeneous systems. Ideally, efficient and effec…

The purpose of this tool is testing if a domain name system follows (or does not follow) the correct specifications: IBDNS fills a gap in the universe of DNS test tools by offering…

Voluntary carbon markets typically trade in both avoidance and removal (i.e. sequestration) credits. Since this site is called Carbon Dioxide Removal I would assume listed trades o…

Fantastic! This site provides an intuitive overview of carbon dioxide removal purchases sourced from six different market places and two registries. Metrics include carbon credit s…

This paper analyzes measurements of sound pressure levels on construction sites in Brazil to argue for better worker protection. The measurements provide valuable evidence to suppo…

Does the article mention what type of natural gas facilities were shut down? Large loads (compressors, pumps) usually consume a share of the gas they transport because gas is so mu…

According to IRCC, 80% of Express Entry applications for permanent residency are approved on less than 6 months [1]. There are many different residency programs, some of which take…

I am also in Canada and cannot load DDG via my university's vpn, but DDG works fine on my home internet connection.

I believe point 12 advises to avoid slides that try to impress by obscure complexity. An offending example might be a slide showing complicated equations that remain unexplained by…

OP is probably correct, maybe even high in their 10 to 20 W/m^2 estimated average output for car mounted PV systems. Rooftop mounted, optimally oriented PV systems at Seattle latit…

Efficiency improvements amplify cost reduction per kWh electricity: An ever growing share of PV system costs stems from every item that is not a a module (inverter, cables, labour …

The Inter Planetary File System has the potential to radically change content hosting to become truly decentralized. This report names some of the most pressing barriers to widespr…

Their model uses night-time lighting data collected by the SUOMI-NPP satellite to infer medium-voltage grid connections. Grid paths are based on Dijkstra’s shortest path, with acco…
