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 ...

Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Optical Feature Extraction Engine (OFE2), an optical engine that processes data at 12.5 GHz using light rather than electricity. Its integrated ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...

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 ...

Chances are you’ve encountered some version of the “Ebbinghaus illusion,” in which a central circle appears to be smaller when encircled by larger circles and seems larger when surrounded by smaller ...

Multiple GOP congressional offices earlier this year received American flags with "optical illusion" swastikas embedded in them, two Republican sources familiar with the matter told NBC News. The news ...

Multiple sources tell Fox News that what appeared to be a swastika flag in Republican Rep. Dave Taylor’s D.C. office may actually be an American flag with a hidden pattern visible only on camera — an ...

USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than relying on switches, light organizes itself much like particles in a gas ...

Anthony Mangieri is on top of the pizza world once again—but this time, he’s not alone. Last year, Mangieri and his New York City-based Una Pizza Napoletana regained the ranking of the world’s best ...
