Observer cuts casual shifts amidst drop in pages for Sunday title
The Observer has made told its casual staff team there are "fewer shifts available" following its sale to Tortoise In April 2025.

1935 and the Frankfurt School of left intellectuals, having fled Nazism in Germany, like many others, re-established itself in New York, USA.
2025 and left intellectuals start fleeing from really existing fascism in the USA.
Ironically to Spain, in one high profile case, which in 1935 was in the process of succumbing to the fascist Falange, but which now has a democratic and centre left government.

Exactly this. I was politically naive, and excited by Pelosi's win, and donated a (for me) significant amount her campaign & PAC.
and ended up feeling disappointed and betrayed.

Water Demand Forecasting of District Metered Areas through Learned Consumer Representations
Advancements in smart metering technologies have significantly improved the ability to monitor and manage water utilities. In the context of increasing uncertainty due to climate change, securing water resources and supply has emerged as an urgent global issue with extensive socioeconomic ramifications. Hourly consumption data from end-users have yielded substantial insights for projecting demand across regions characterized by diverse consumption patterns. Nevertheless, the prediction of water…

#AIForensics' study (07/2025) reveals how AI-generated content floods #TikTok & #Instagram, with platforms failing to adequately label synthetic material.

AI Generated Algorithmic Virality
This investigation systematically analyzes AI-generated content across TikTok and Instagram in three European countries. We found that 25% of TikTok's top search results contain synthetic AI imagery, with over 80% produced by "Agentic AI Accounts." Despite platforms' DSA commitments, only half of AI content receives proper labeling, creating significant risks for users.

Superconducting meander-line surface coil for NMR spectroscopy of nanoscale thin films
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique to study local magnetism in a variety of materials. However, the inherently low sensitivity of conventional inductively detected solid state NMR typically requires a large number of spins, reducing its applicability to two-dimensional (2D) materials and nanoscale thin films. To overcome this experimental challenge, we introduce a novel probe based on a superconducting meander-line surface coil that significantly enhances the …

Interleaving Reasoning for Better Text-to-Image Generation
Unified multimodal understanding and generation models recently have achieve significant improvement in image generation capability, yet a large gap remains in instruction following and detail preservation compared to systems that tightly couple comprehension with generation such as GPT-4o. Motivated by recent advances in interleaving reasoning, we explore whether such reasoning can further improve Text-to-Image (T2I) generation. We introduce Interleaving Reasoning Generation (IRG), a framework…

SciVideoBench: Benchmarking Scientific Video Reasoning in Large Multimodal Models
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have achieved remarkable progress across various capabilities; however, complex video reasoning in the scientific domain remains a significant and challenging frontier. Current video benchmarks predominantly target general scenarios where perception/recognition is heavily relied on, while with relatively simple reasoning tasks, leading to saturation and thus failing to effectively evaluate advanced multimodal cognitive skills. To address this critical gap, we intr…
