CAST: Counterfactual Labels Improve Instruction Following in Vision-Language-Action Models
Generalist robots should be able to understand and follow user instructions, but current vision-language-action (VLA) models struggle with following fine-grained commands despite providing a powerful architecture for mapping open-vocabulary natural language instructions to robot actions. One cause for this is a lack of semantic diversity and language grounding in existing robot datasets and, specifically, a lack of fine-grained task diversity for similar observations. To address this, we presen…

Am Anfang dachte ich ja "Ein paar Fans für den Sticker wird's geben, denen schenk ich welche gegen Porto."
Dann wurden's immer mehr.
Seit vorgestern hab ich einen Etsy-Shop, und nun schon 60 Sticker verkauft.

“This is not a hoax, and it’s not going away,”
said Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda.
Trump’s struggles reveal the limits of his usual tactics.
His strategy
—harnessing the anger caused by inequality to deflect blame
—has faltered here.
To understand why, we must look beyond Epstein as a predator to examine the system that protected him.
Documents recently released from Epstein’s estate expose the extent of his aristocratic immunity.
In a 2008 plea …

The real reason Donald Trump can’t escape the Epstein scandal
Donald Trump’s usual tactics to deflect blame are failing as victims of Jeffrey Epstein expose the deep inequalities that protected the predator, and now implicate Trump himself.

It was a beautiful day for #flying in southern California. Visibility was at least 90 miles, and I managed to squeeze nearly 2 hours out of a few thermals near Warner Springs before making a stop at Santa Catalina Island on the way home.

Transient Stability Analysis for Grid Following Converters in Low-Inertia Power Systems by Direct Method
With the increased penetration of renewable energy and reduced proportion of synchronous generators, the low-inertia characteristics of todays power system become prominent, and the transient stability issue of grid following converter (GFLC) under low inertia system (LIS) condition becomes critical. There are two prominent problems in the transient stability analysis of GFLC-LIS. The angular dynamic of LIS increases the complexity of transient stability analysis, and the nonlinear, possibly ne…

Filling in the semantics for intuitionistic conditional logic
We prove completeness results for a wide variety of intuitionistic conditional logics. We do so by first using a duality to transfer algebraic completeness to completeness with respect to conditional Esakia spaces, a topologised version of a conditional Kripke frame. We then use so-called fill-ins to obtain completeness results with respect to classes conditional of Kripke frames. The fill-ins close the gap between conditional Esakia spaces, which do not have a canonical underlying frame, and c…
