Email as the Interface to Generative AI Models: Seamless Administrative Automation
This paper introduces a novel architectural framework that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with email interfaces to automate administrative tasks, specifically targeting accessibility barriers in enterprise environments. The system connects email communication channels with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and intelligent automation, enabling non-technical administrative staff to delegate complex form-filling and document processing tasks using familiar email interfaces. By treating …

Trump’s determination to move fast could slow implementation of his tariff regime.
It also threatens to cost him credibility with businesses he’s counting on to invest in the U.S.
and world leaders whose buy-in he needs to negotiate trade deals.
Still, few expect a different posture from the famously intransigent fool or any second-guessing following the Wednesday ruling from the U.S. Court of International Trade, which briefly halted most of the tariffs

A Hierarchical and Evolvable Benchmark for Fine-Grained Code Instruction Following with Multi-Turn Feedback
Large language models (LLMs) have advanced significantly in code generation, yet their ability to follow complex programming instructions with layered and diverse constraints remains underexplored. Existing benchmarks often prioritize functional correctness, overlooking the nuanced requirements found in real-world development. We introduce MultiCodeIF, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate instruction-following in code generation across multiple dimensions: constraint type, hierarchica…

It is only a matter of time until noem, homan, dhs, ice and potus realize dropping people out of aircraft is cheaper than housing or moving them.
Unless they already have.
Rumors are the US is engaging in death flights. Already there are some known flight paths of ice flights turning around over bodies of water.
The US Congress and international community seem to be the only things that can stop this.

Influence of oxygen-defects on intraband terahertz conductivity of carbon nanotubes
The exceptional charge transport properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) enable numerous ultrafast optoelectronic applications. Modifying SWCNTs by introducing defects significantly impacts the performance of nanotube-based devices, making defect characterization crucial. This research tracked these effects in oxygen plasma-treated SWCNT thin films. Sub-picosecond electric fields of varying strengths and additional photoexcitation were used to assess how defects influence charge c…

Unconventional superlattice ordering in intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide V$_{1/3}$NbS$_2$
The interplay between symmetry and topology in magnetic materials makes it possible to engineer exotic phases and technologically useful properties. A key requirement for these pursuits is achieving control over local crystallographic and magnetic structure, usually through sample morphology (such as synthesis of bulk crystals versus thin-films) and application of magnetic or electric fields. Here we show that V$_{1/3}$NbS$_2$ can be crystallized in two ordered superlattices, distinguished by t…
