Movwin: My (Unpublished) TUI Framework

blog - git - desktop - contact 2026-05-29 Making programs with some sort of GUI (or TUI) has been a bit unsatisfactory for me for a very long time now. Libraries come and go, trends come and go. You constantly have to chase upstream's new decisions and adjust your code.

SceneSmith: Agentic Generation of Simulation-Ready Indoor Scenes

arXiv:2602.09153v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Simulation has become a key tool for training and evaluating home robots at scale, yet existing environments fail to capture the diversity and physical complexity of real indoor spaces. Current scene synthesis methods produce sparsely furnished rooms that lack the dense clutter, articulated furniture, and physical properties essential for robotic manipulation. We introduce SceneSmith, a hierarchical agentic framework that generates...

Generalizing Fair Top-$k$ Selection: An Integrative Approach

arXiv:2603.04689v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Fair top-$k$ selection, which ensures appropriate proportional representation of members from minority or historically disadvantaged groups among the top-$k$ selected candidates, has drawn significant attention. We study the problem of finding a fair (linear) scoring function with multiple protected groups while also minimizing the disparity from a reference scoring function. This generalizes the prior setup, which was restricted to the...

CrowdStrike, Google shatter Glassworm botnet

CrowdStrike, in collaboration with Google and the Shadowserver Foundation, successfully dismantled the Glassworm botnet, a sophisticated, self-propagating worm. This malware targeted developers by spreading through poisoned software packages and used complex infrastructure, including blockchain and Google Calendar, to evade detection. The coordinated takedown severed the attackers' command-and-control channels, mitigating the threat to the software development community.

N\"ushuVoice: Reviving the Voice of Endangered N\"ushu with Pitch-Aware Text-to-Speech

Announce Type: new Abstract: N\"ushu is an endangered phonetic script historically used by women in Jiangyong County, southern Hunan, China. While existing computational studies of N\"ushu mainly focus on textual digitization and visual recognition, the acoustic reconstruction of its authentic pronunciation remains largely unexplored. Building a N\"ushu text-to-speech (TTS) system is particularly challenging because available recordings are extremely limited and mostly consist of isolated...
