Exclusive: Israel planning ring of checkpoints to prevent men from fleeing Rafah
Israel is setting up 'complex network' of checkpoints to prevent 'military age' men from fleeing Rafah assault, senior western official tells MEE

Recently, Mr. Lawrence said, customers have been snapping up used Teslas for a little over $20,000, after applying a $4,000 federal tax credit.
“We’re seeing younger people,” Mr. Lawrence said.
“We are seeing more blue-collar and entry-level white-collar people.
The purchase price of the car has suddenly become in reach.”
Regarded by conservative politicians and other critics as playthings of the liberal elite,
electric vehicles are fast becoming more accessible.…

EVs Are Suddenly Becoming Affordable
More efficient manufacturing, falling battery costs and intense competition are lowering sticker prices for battery-powered models to within striking distance of gasoline cars.

“Electric Cars Are Suddenly Becoming Affordable.
More efficient manufacturing, falling battery costs and intense competition are lowering sticker prices for battery-powered models to within striking distance of gasoline cars.
Competition is also intensifying. Toyota and other Japanese carmakers with a reputation for delivering reliable and affordable vehicles are belatedly offering electric vehicles. Honda plans to begin producing them at an Ohio factory next year.”

Evolution of Berry Phase and Half-Metallicity in Cr$_2$Te$_3$ in Response to Strain, Filling, Thickness, and Surface Termination
Cr$_2$Te$_3$ is a ferromagnetic, quasi-two-dimensional layered material with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, strong spin-orbit coupling, and non-trivial band topology. The non-trivial topology results in an intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) that switches sign under filling and biaxial strain. Thin films can exhibit half metallicity. Using density functional theory combined with maximally localized Wannier functions, we reveal the physical origins of the sensitivity of the sign of t…

Supporting Bayesian modelling workflows with iterative filtering for multiverse analysis
When building statistical models for Bayesian data analysis tasks, required and optional iterative adjustments and different modelling choices can give rise to numerous candidate models. In particular, checks and evaluations throughout the modelling process can motivate changes to an existing model or the consideration of alternative models to ultimately obtain models of sufficient quality for the problem at hand. Additionally, failing to consider alternative models can lead to overconfidence i…

Serre's theorem for coherent sheaves via Auslander's techniques
For an abelian category and a distinguished object with a graded endomorphism ring a necessary and sufficient criterion is given so that the category is equivalent to the abelian quotient of the category of finitely presented graded modules modulo the Serre subcategory of finite length modules. A particular example is the category of coherent sheaves on a projective variety, following a theorem of Serre from 1955. The proof uses Auslander's theory of coherent functors, and there are no noetheri…

Abstract: Large language models such as GPT and Llama are trained with a next-token prediction loss. In this work, we suggest that training language models to predict multiple future tokens at once results in higher sample efficiency. More specifically, at each position in the training corpus, we ask the model to predict the following n tokens using n independent output heads, operating on top of a shared model trunk. Considering multi-token prediction as an auxiliary training task, we measure improved downstream capabilities with no overhead in training time for both code and natural language models. The method is increasingly useful for larger model sizes, and keeps its appeal when training for multiple epochs. Gains are especially pronounced on generative benchmarks like coding, where our models consistently outperform strong baselines by several percentage points. Our 13B parameter models solves 12 % more problems on HumanEval and 17 % more on MBPP than comparable next-token models. Experiments on small algorithmic tasks demonstrate that multi-token prediction is favorable for the development of induction heads and algorithmic reasoning capabilities. As an additional benefit, models trained with 4-token prediction are up to 3 times faster at inference, even with large batch sizes.

Automatic Fused Multimodal Deep Learning for Plant Identification
Plant classification is vital for ecological conservation and agricultural productivity, enhancing our understanding of plant growth dynamics and aiding species preservation. The advent of deep learning (DL) techniques has revolutionized this field by enabling autonomous feature extraction, significantly reducing the dependence on manual expertise. However, conventional DL models often rely solely on single data sources, failing to capture the full biological diversity of plant species comprehe…

Evaluating Uncertainty-based Failure Detection for Closed-Loop LLM Planners
Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have witnessed remarkable performance as zero-shot task planners for robotic manipulation tasks. However, the open-loop nature of previous works makes LLM-based planning error-prone and fragile. On the other hand, failure detection approaches for closed-loop planning are often limited by task-specific heuristics or following an unrealistic assumption that the prediction is trustworthy all the time. As a general-purpose reasoning machine, LLMs or Multimodal…
