Code got simpler too:

Done! The new PAC coders now use a rank map instead of frozen bits. That means we can compute the map once and use it for every PAC(N, K) code without a frozen bit array! And just like with the 5G reliability sequence, we can simply filter out a smaller length from a larger RM rule construction. 🥰

Drawing the rest of the owl turned out to be much more convoluted than I imagined it 😅

Good morning. Let's do this!

Need to write this down before going to sleep: Because we can use the same RM rule construction for each PAC code rate, we only need to give the encoder / decoder the code and message length. That means no more handling of frozen bits, as we can have a reusable sequence under the hood. 🏃🏾‍➡️🛌

Must be that update I missed. Not connecting the washing machine to the internet was a good move.

The world is smol 🤣

Vocoder and Synth! 🥰

Looks like you are re-implementing GNU Radio. Way to go!

24V COB LED lighting glued and soldered overhead, under the cupboard

Finally jumped the 24V COB LED lighting wagon from 12V halogen lamps. Soldering overhead from a weird angle is very interesting work .. but it had to be done. The old stuff is refusing to die (just repaired an electronic halogen lamp transformer) but I need more light in the kitchen.

cinnamon roll torn apart while still steaming hot

Turned out really good. 😋

cinnamon rolls baked at 160C for half an hour

And done! 😊

cinnamon rolls rose for six hours and are now baked

Couple of hours turn into several hours with sourdough instead of commercial yeast. No matter. Now we bake after 6 hours of rising.

cinnamon rolls rose for four hours

Four hours in, looking good. Let's give it another two hours. Yeah, we are going to bake at 9PM 😅

cinnamon rolls before rise

Sourdough cinnamon rolls, mark two! Very high hydration, barely able to handle. Now letting rise for a couple of hours in the warm oven. Fingers crossed! 🤞

heart shaped box of chocolates

Successive cancellation decoding is a lot like eating a box of chocolates: If you accidentally choose a very flavorful one somewhere in the middle of the consumption, the rest of the chocolates will taste dull.

Hard to see the low-SNR region with a logarithmic scale, so here with a linear scale and a list size of L=128. We see that the normal Polar codes are getting lucky more often and the CRC oracle even helps the PAC codes under list decoding:

Yes, I am as dissatisfied as you are about that chart. Sorry.

A larger list size makes the list-decoded Polar codes with CRC behave better than the Polarization-Adjusted Convolutional codes in the low SNR regime. Both the PAC and BCH codes don't use an oracle here and I would need to run a simulation for weeks, just to show you the interesting QEF-region.

Health has returned. Wonder how long it is going to last ..

The honor is all mine! 😜

Exactly the reason why I made it all open source!
