Channel 4 Says It Doesn’t Use NDAs, But Documents Reveal Company Is Curbing Free Speech Of Aggrieved Ex-Employees
Channel 4 described itself as the "defender of free speech," but documents reveal it is restricting what former staffers can say about the company.

Researchers say tactics used to make AI more engaging, like making them more agreeable, can make chatbots reinforce harmful ideas, like encouraging drug use (Nitasha Tiku/Washington Post)

Your chatbot friend might be messing with your mind
OpenAI, Meta and others want people to spend more time with AI chatbots, but there is growing evidence that they can hook users or reinforce harmful ideas.

Best bounds for the dual Hardy operator minus identity on decreasing functions
The distance from the identity operator $I$ to $H^*$, the dual of the Hardy averaging operator, is studied on the cone of nonnegative, nonincreasing functions in Lebesgue space. The exact value is obtained. Optimal lower bounds are also given for difference, $H^*-I$, of these two operators acting on the same cone. A positive answer is given to a conjecture made in ``The norm of Hardy-type oscillation operators in the discrete and continuous settings'' by A. Ben Said, S. Boza, and J. Soria. Prep…

Probing Quantum Spin Systems with Kolmogorov-Arnold Neural Network Quantum States
Neural Quantum States (NQS) are a class of variational wave functions parametrized by neural networks (NNs) to study quantum many-body systems. In this work, we propose SineKAN, the NQS ansatz based on Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs), to represent quantum mechanical wave functions as nested univariate functions. We show that \sk wavefunction with learnable sinusoidal activation functions can capture the ground state energies, fidelities and various correlation functions of the 1D Transverse-F…
