MPR parent company cuts 30 jobs following federal funding cuts
Minnesota Public Radio's parent company laid off 30 staff members Friday after Congress clawed back funding that it had previously approved for public broadcasting. Cuts in state funding from the Minnesota Legislature exacerbated the budget gap.

Robię ciemnie z domowej spiżarni i będę miał prawie wszystko do nowego filmu na mój fotograficzny kanał. Będzie to filmik o Polaroidzie EE33 do którego nie produkują już wkładów i wykorzystaniu go w bardzo niekonwencjonalny sposób.
Mam nadzieję że coś z tego wyjdzie 🤞😄

Good Morning #Canada
OTD in 1972, construction begins on Canada’s largest single-site #Hydroelectric project at Churchill Falls, Labrador. To commemorate this minor historical event in our country's impressive record of hydroelectric technology and power generation, let's focus on one of the newest projects. The controversial Site C in British Columbia will begin filling its reservoir this summer in preparation for starting operations.

The Othello AI Arena: Evaluating Intelligent Systems Through Limited-Time Adaptation to Unseen Boards
The ability to rapidly adapt to novel and unforeseen environmental changes is a cornerstone of artificial general intelligence (AGI), yet it remains a critical blind spot in most existing AI benchmarks. Traditional evaluation largely focuses on optimizing performance within fixed environments, failing to assess systems' flexibility and generalization capabilities when faced with even subtle rule or structural modifications. Addressing this gap, I introduce the Othello AI Arena, a novel benchmar…

GENMANIP: LLM-driven Simulation for Generalizable Instruction-Following Manipulation
Robotic manipulation in real-world settings remains challenging, especially regarding robust generalization. Existing simulation platforms lack sufficient support for exploring how policies adapt to varied instructions and scenarios. Thus, they lag behind the growing interest in instruction-following foundation models like LLMs, whose adaptability is crucial yet remains underexplored in fair comparisons. To bridge this gap, we introduce GenManip, a realistic tabletop simulation platform tailore…
