Knowledge Collapse in LLMs: When Fluency Survives but Facts Fail under Recursive Synthetic Training
Large language models increasingly rely on synthetic data due to human-written content scarcity, yet recursive training on model-generated outputs leads to model collapse, a degenerative process threatening factual reliability. We define knowledge collapse as a distinct three-stage phenomenon where factual accuracy deteriorates while surface fluency persists, creating "confidently wrong" outputs that pose critical risks in accuracy-dependent domains. Through controlled experiments with recursiv…

Understanding Polaronic Transport in Anatase TiO2 Films by Combining Precise Synthesis and First-Principles Many-Body Theory
In complex oxides, charge carriers often couple strongly with lattice vibrations to form polarons-entangled electron-phonon quasiparticles whose transport properties remain difficult to characterize. Experimental access to intrinsic polaronic transport requires ultraclean samples, while theoretical descriptions demand methods beyond low-order perturbation theory. Here, we combine the growth of high-quality oxygen-vacancy-doped anatase TiO2 films by hybrid molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with a fir…

Google appears to prioritise global newsbrands over local ones for breaking news events
Global newsbrands were being surfaced more highly in Google than the biggest local news operation in Manchester for synagogue attack story.

Imagine having this issue with a kid...
It isn't exactly common but it happens occasionally with K being about 120lb. these days and me being a hard-rode 60yrs. He's not stupid but he has never fully internalized that if he tries to fight me when I'm picking him up, he can succeed in sabotaging that process and it is NOT GOOD.

Headhunter: forget about amnesia
When Headhunter came out on the Dreamcast, it was when the format was dying and games were being reduced to silly prices in HMV. This was good news for my collection and my wallet, with many £5 games filling up my shelves. It was not good for the games themselves, since I had such an abundance of choice that I would not commit more than an hour or so to anything in particular.

NewtonBench: Benchmarking Generalizable Scientific Law Discovery in LLM Agents
Large language models are emerging as powerful tools for scientific law discovery, a foundational challenge in AI-driven science. However, existing benchmarks for this task suffer from a fundamental methodological trilemma, forcing a trade-off between scientific relevance, scalability, and resistance to memorization. Furthermore, they oversimplify discovery as static function fitting, failing to capture the authentic scientific process of uncovering embedded laws through the interactive explora…
