How climate change could affect production of the world’s favorite fruit, the banana
Sweet, savory, raw, fried or baked. A main course, side dish, dessert or smoothie. Raise a hand: Who doesn’t have at least one fond memory of the world’s most widely consumed fruit, the banana? Maybe it’s because of its shape, texture or how easily it can be peeled and prepared (when it’s not eaten raw […]

Goede podcast, onder andere over inkomens- en vermogensongelijkheid. Heldere objectieve uitleg die je vaak mist bij politici.

Visual-TableQA: Open-Domain Benchmark for Reasoning over Table Images

Visual-TableQA: Open-Domain Benchmark for Reasoning over Table Images
Visual reasoning over structured data such as tables is a critical capability for modern vision-language models (VLMs), yet current benchmarks remain limited in scale, diversity, or reasoning depth, especially when it comes to rendered table images. Addressing this gap, we introduce Visual-TableQA, a large-scale, open-domain multimodal dataset specifically designed to evaluate and enhance visual reasoning over complex tabular data. Our generation pipeline is modular, scalable, and fully autonom…

Uit angst voor progressieve ‘coup’ bij media-imperium NewsCorp kopen Murdoch en zoon Lachlan familieleden uit
Mediafamilie: Met de beslechting van een familievete blijft de rechts-conservatieve koers binnen het Murdoch-media-imperium gewaarborgd, ook na Ruperts dood. NewsCorp-baas Lachlan Murdoch gaat over de toekomst, nadat drie progressievere kinderen zijn uitgekocht.

These muffins came out deliciously! I used the gram measurements (not the cup measurements) for the whole wheat flour and almond flour, but volume for everything else. Oh, and I added the optional walnuts (left out the chocolate chips though).

Fast and Extensible Hybrid Embeddings with Micros
Macro embedding is a popular approach to defining extensible shallow embeddings of object languages in Scheme like host languages. While macro embedding has even been shown to enable implementing extensible typed languages in systems like Racket, it comes at a cost: compile-time performance. In this paper, we revisit micros - syntax to intermediate representation (IR) transformers, rather than source syntax to source syntax transformers (macros). Micro embedding enables stopping at an IR, produ…

Reaffirming a Challenge to Bohmian Mechanics
In our recent work (Sharoglazova et al., Nature 643, 67 (2025)), we reported the first measurement of the speed of tunnelling particles using a coupled waveguide system. The measured speed was found to be in disagreement with the standard guiding equation of Bohmian mechanics, which we regard as a challenge to that framework. In the present article, we provide a more detailed account of this issue. In particular, we argue that reformulating the Bohmian guiding equation so as to extend our resul…
