The Confidence Paradox: Can LLM Know When It's Wrong
Document Visual Question Answering (DocVQA) systems are increasingly deployed in real world applications, yet they remain ethically opaque-often producing overconfident answers to ambiguous questions or failing to communicate uncertainty in a trustworthy manner. This misalignment between model confidence and actual knowledge poses significant risks, particularly in domains requiring ethical accountability. Existing approaches such as LayoutLMv3, UDOP, and DONUT have advanced SOTA performance by…

The First Compute Arms Race: the Early History of Numerical Weather Prediction
This paper traces the global race to apply early electronic computers to numerical weather prediction in the decades following World War Two. A brief overview of the early history of numerical weather prediction in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Canada, and Japan is provided. Three critical factors that shaped the development of a national numerical weather prediction are identified: compute capabilities, institution building and state capacity, and talent. Several generalizable les…

Ah, current plans for today: find some way to get Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 running on my computer. So far I've managed to select my starting airport/airfield and then the game hangs. It's progress, but I have a feeling this fight is going to go on for awhile considering the game hangs immediately afterwards.

Musing on this a little more, I am more and more convinced that natural language interpretation is what happens when the needle swings too far, flying past “the language is governed by the procedures, not the host” and all the way through to “the language is subject to interpretation based on whim”.
I shall repeat: prompts won.

Characterizing Small Circuit Classes from FAC^0 to FAC^1 via Discrete Ordinary Differential Equations
In this paper, we provide a uniform framework for investigating small circuit classes and bounds through the lens of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Following an approach recently introduced to capture the class of polynomial-time computable functions via ODE-based recursion schemas and later applied to the context of functions computed by unbounded fan-in circuits of constant depth (FAC^0), we study multiple relevant small circuit classes. In particular, we show that natural restrictio…

State Change via One-Dimensional Scattering in Quantum Mechanics
We consider a pair of particles that interact in a one-dimensional setting via a delta-function potential. One of the particles is confined to a one-dimensional box, and the other particle is free. The free particle is incident from the left with specified energy, and it may cause changes in state of the confined particle before flying away to the left or to the right. We present a non-perturbative formulation and computational scheme that determines the probability of any such outcome, as a fu…

Elon Musk’s Lawyers Claim He ‘Does Not Use a Computer’
The claim appeared in a court filing related to Elon Musk’s ongoing lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI. The Tesla and xAI owner has posted about his laptop numerous times in the past year.
