Kein Scherz: Heute ist Internationaler Tag des #Taschenrechner|s!
Obwohl er heute oft im Schatten von Computern steht, hat er die digitale Welt mitgeprägt. Vom simplen Addierer zum wissenschaftlichen Rechner bis hin zu modernen Computeralgebrasystemen – seine DNA lebt weiter.
Doch wozu können sich #Computer noch entwickeln? Das lassen wir, die @Cyberagentur, im Programm Alternative Rechnerarchitekturen erforschen: t1p.de/fk7px

Auf dem Foto sind zwei Rechenhilfsmittel nebeneinander zu sehen: Ein moderner Taschenrechner und ein traditioneller Abakus. Der Taschenrechner liegt schräg auf der linken Seite. Er ist schwarz mit weißen und grauen Tasten, die mit Zahlen, Rechenzeichen und Funktionen beschriftet sind. Rechts daneben liegt der hölzerne Abakus in einem rechteckigen Holzrahmen. Mehrere vertikale Metallstangen tragen jeweils viele runde Holzperlen, die in dunklen und hellbraunen Farbtönen gehalten sind. Die Perlen sind unterschiedlich positioniert, als wären gerade Rechenoperationen im Gange. Der Hintergrund besteht aus einer dunklen Holzfläche, die dem Bild eine warme und nostalgische Atmosphäre verleiht. Die Kombination der beiden Objekte zeigt den Kontrast zwischen traditioneller und moderner Rechentechnik. Foto: freepik

I don't expect the PC market to shrink, though.

There are some breakthroughs like the Mac Mini M4, sub $300 Chinese Mini PC, the ever-flooded laptop market and the best PC Gaming entry point: the Steam Deck.

It's the Desktop PC Gaming what is what I expect to collapse soon, if it has not.

Last time I bought a Desktop PC component was the Radeon R290 at launch.

Since then I have traded laptops, tablets and consoles like a madman.

I wonder how the Desktop PC market will perform in the next years. Pandemic was a huge boost, but eventually it will contract again because the value proposition has not lowered as expected.

🥑 NutriTransform: Estimating Nutritional Information From Online Food Posts

(... reminds me of a startup I worked on in the pre-funding stage that would estimate the nutritional content of a meal from a cellphone snap)

arxiv.org/abs/2503.04755

arXiv logo
arXiv.orgNutriTransform: Estimating Nutritional Information From Online Food PostsDeriving nutritional information from online food posts is challenging, particularly when users do not explicitly log the macro-nutrients of a shared meal. In this work, we present an efficient and straightforward approach to approximating macro-nutrients based solely on the titles of food posts. Our method combines a public food database from the U.S. Department of Agriculture with advanced text embedding techniques. We evaluate the approach on a labeled food dataset, demonstrating its effectiveness, and apply it to over 500,000 real-world posts from Reddit's popular /r/food subreddit to uncover trends in food-sharing behavior based on the estimated macro-nutrient content. Altogether, this work lays a foundation for researchers and practitioners aiming to estimate caloric and nutritional content using only text data.

Looking forward to the launch of the Listen, Scoundrels! Calls to Action from the Early CAS exhibition at the Computer Arts Society in London this evening and the accompanying symposium:

'This exhibition takes its title from Vladimir Mayakovsky's 1922 poem Écoutez, Canailles! (Listen, Scoundrels!), a fierce critique of institutional apathy and a call for artists to engage with urgent social issues...'
