AI's environmental impact can be extremely localized. A Maine bill would limit the amount of electricity data centers can siphon from local power grids.

lkml_thread: Linux kernel mailing list
A bipartite network of contributions by users to threads on the Linux kernel mailing list. A left node is a person, and a right node is a thread, and each timestamped edge (i,j,t) denotes that user i contributed to thread j at time t. The date of the snapshot is not given.
This network has 379554 nodes and 1565683 edges.

Millions of non-producing oil and gas wells around the world are leaking methane and other contaminants,
contributing to increased greenhouse gas emissions and polluting our water, soil, and air.
The total annual methane emissions from non-producing wells in Canada is 7 times higher than estimated in Canada’s National Inventory Report
The U.S. no longer even estimates it's methane emissions

Can MLLMs Guide Me Home? A Benchmark Study on Fine-Grained Visual Reasoning from Transit Maps
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have recently achieved significant progress in visual tasks, including semantic scene understanding and text-image alignment, with reasoning variants enhancing performance on complex tasks involving mathematics and logic. However, their capacity for reasoning tasks involving fine-grained visual understanding remains insufficiently evaluated. To address this gap, we introduce ReasonMap, a benchmark designed to assess the fine-grained visual understanding …

Seeing Far and Clearly: Mitigating Hallucinations in MLLMs with Attention Causal Decoding
Recent advancements in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have significantly improved performance in visual question answering. However, they often suffer from hallucinations. In this work, hallucinations are categorized into two main types: initial hallucinations and snowball hallucinations. We argue that adequate contextual information can be extracted directly from the token interaction process. Inspired by causal inference in the decoding strategy, we propose to leverage causal masks …
