Adapter-based optical compression for long documents using DeepSeek's DeepEncoder with Qwen3-VL-2B. Built on DeepSeek-OCR by DeepSeek-AI. This repo includes deepencoder.py from DeepSeek-OCR ...

The LightGen chip is orders of magnitude more efficient too. But it isn't ready to break out of the lab just yet. As generative AI models grow more powerful, their energy use is becoming a serious ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. You've spent thousands of dollars on your home theater system, with much of the upfront cost going toward your brand-new 4K TV and Dolby Atmos ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

A new technical paper titled “Massively parallel and universal approximation of nonlinear functions using diffractive processors” was published by researchers at UCLA. “Nonlinear computation is ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed an optical computing framework that performs large-scale nonlinear computations using linear materials. Reported in ...

In brief: After years of faithful service, most computer mice end up in the recycling bin, or worse, the garbage bin. But one Redditor wanted a better second act for his retired pointer, and once ...

Once you've picked out a nice smart TV with a good OS and a quality sound system to go with it, you'll already have two of the biggest decisions for setting up your home theater out of the way. There ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b), to achieve helical bending (c), and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).
