Re: National Center for Atmospheric Research closing?

Atmospheric research should be under NOAA and not under NASA. NASA should be totally space oriented. Just my opinion. NOAA should handle anything under the Karman line. NASA above. It is just my opinion. Many government agencies overlap.

SHARe-KAN: Holographic Vector Quantization for Memory-Bound Inference

arXiv:2512.15742v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) face a fundamental memory wall: their learned basis functions create parameter counts that impose extreme bandwidth demands, hindering deployment in memory-constrained environments. We show that Vision KANs exhibit a …
