Enter the Mind Palace: Reasoning and Planning for Long-term Active Embodied Question Answering
As robots become increasingly capable of operating over extended periods -- spanning days, weeks, and even months -- they are expected to accumulate knowledge of their environments and leverage this experience to assist humans more effectively. This paper studies the problem of Long-term Active Embodied Question Answering (LA-EQA), a new task in which a robot must both recall past experiences and actively explore its environment to answer complex, temporally-grounded questions. Unlike tradition…

As program cuts begin in wake of federal rescission, Alaska fund raises $3.5M for public media
A partnership between radio stations and the Alaska Community Foundation seeks to fill a $15 million gap created by Congress.

Anyone who follows me has probably gathered that I've become a fan of Discourse after running a few Discourse instances. They are currently requesting feedback.
I was pleased to see that they used a survey vendor that appears to have meaningful a11y — I didn't look for aria labels so I won't speak to that, but what I did notice is that there is explicitly-labeled support for keyboard-only interaction on every page, and I really appreciated that thoughtfulness.

FourCastNet 3: A geometric approach to probabilistic machine-learning weather forecasting at scale
FourCastNet 3 advances global weather modeling by implementing a scalable, geometric machine learning (ML) approach to probabilistic ensemble forecasting. The approach is designed to respect spherical geometry and to accurately model the spatially correlated probabilistic nature of the problem, resulting in stable spectra and realistic dynamics across multiple scales. FourCastNet 3 delivers forecasting accuracy that surpasses leading conventional ensemble models and rivals the best diffusion-ba…

this potential — for AI companies to tweak their chatbots to give pro-Trump answers to appease MAGA — is one of the reasons I'm avoiding LLMs as a political practice. they are inherently extremely centralized, requiring massive resources to crawl data and train. to become dependent on such products is to subject ourselves to the owners' power. this is just one of the ways that can go disastrously wrong

The campaign to make it illegal for ChatGPT to criticize Trump
The conservative pressure campaign against social networks was hugely successful — and now it's coming for AI

Fusing Knowledge and Language: A Comparative Study of Knowledge Graph-Based Question Answering with LLMs
Knowledge graphs, a powerful tool for structuring information through relational triplets, have recently become the new front-runner in enhancing question-answering systems. While traditional Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) approaches are proficient in fact-based and local context-based extraction from concise texts, they encounter limitations when addressing the thematic and holistic understanding of complex, extensive texts, requiring a deeper analysis of both text and context.
