The Trump administration is dismantling the last of the public commons.
It’s cutting billions to state programs tracking disease,
repealing emissions and drinking water regulations,
revoking hundreds of millions in funding for life-saving research,
canceling local food programs for schools and food banks,
rolling back vaccinations,
and shutting down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Commi…

Millions of buildings at risk from sea level rise, analysis finds
Sea level rise could put more than 100 million buildings across the Global South at risk of regular flooding if fossil fuel emissions are not curbed quickly, according to a new McGill-led study published in npj Urban Sustainability.

Tiny-R1V: Lightweight Multimodal Unified Reasoning Model via Model Merging
Although Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across diverse tasks, they encounter numerous challenges in terms of reasoning efficiency, such as large model size, overthinking, and compromised accuracy in lightweight scenarios. However, research on the reasoning capabilities of lightweight MLLMs is quite lacking. To this end, we propose Tiny-R1V, a novel lightweight 3B model that achieves faster inference and higher accuracy via a two-stage optimiza…

Olipa kyllä mielenkiintoinen aikaleima kännykällä tallennetussa träkissä. (mökin koordinaatit anonymisoitu). Ekaksi ajattelin, että olisi bitti nyrjähtänyt mutta pikaisesti katsottuna 12 bittiä olisi pitänyt kääntyä mikä ei tunnu todennäköiseltä.
Muuten kyllä selvisi, että olen vapusta 2019 lähtien viettänyt eniten aikaa kotona, sitten töissä ja mökillä. Olisiko tuon selvittämiseksi todella tarvinnut ajaa läppirllä postgresql:lää reilut 20 tuntia? Tuskin saamme koskaan tietää.

Integral of the double-emission eikonal function for two massive emitters at an arbitrary angle
We present a semi-analytic calculation of the integrated double-emission eikonal function of two massive emitters whose momenta are at an arbitrary angle to each other. This result is needed for extending the nested soft-collinear subtraction scheme arXiv:1702.01352 to processes with massive partons.

JWST-TST DREAMS: The Nightside Emission and Chemistry of WASP-17b
Theoretical studies have suggested using planetary infrared excess (PIE) to detect and characterize the thermal emission of transiting and non-transiting exoplanets, however the PIE technique requires empirical validation. Here we apply the PIE technique to a combination of JWST NIRSpec G395H transit and eclipse measurements of WASP-17b, a hot Jupiter orbiting an F-type star, obtained consecutively (0.5 phase or 1.8 days apart) as part of the JWST-TST program to perform Deep Reconnaissance of E…

For decades, some big polluters were allowed to estimate their emissions using methods the government knew were often unreliable.

Real Pollution Levels: Air monitors at coke manufacturers, chemical plants and other industrial facilities showed far higher emissions than the estimates, records viewed by ProPublica show.

Trump Halts New Rules: The Trump administration has halted rules requiring more than 130 industrial plants to install air monitors and comply with new e…

The EPA Let Companies Estimate Their Own Pollution Levels. We Discovered Real Emissions Are Far Worse.
The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these plants face an increased risk of cancer.

MM-HELIX: Boosting Multimodal Long-Chain Reflective Reasoning with Holistic Platform and Adaptive Hybrid Policy Optimization
While current Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated proficiency in reasoning tasks such as mathematics and logic, their capacity for long-chain reflective reasoning, a prerequisite for solving complex real-world problems, remains largely underexplored. In this work, we first conduct an extensive empirical investigation to evaluate this capability. Leveraging a carefully designed data synthesis engine, we construct MM-HELIX, a multimodal benchmark consisting 1,260 samples of…

90% Faster, 100% Code-Free: MLLM-Driven Zero-Code 3D Game Development
Developing 3D games requires specialized expertise across multiple domains, including programming, 3D modeling, and engine configuration, which limits access to millions of potential creators. Recently, researchers have begun to explore automated game development. However, existing approaches face three primary challenges: (1) limited scope to 2D content generation or isolated code snippets; (2) requirement for manual integration of generated components into game engines; and (3) poor performan…
