Finance Language Model Evaluation (FLaME)
Language Models (LMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities with core Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. The effectiveness of LMs for highly specialized knowledge-intensive tasks in finance remains difficult to assess due to major gaps in the methodologies of existing evaluation frameworks, which have caused an erroneous belief in a far lower bound of LMs' performance on common Finance NLP (FinNLP) tasks. To demonstrate the potential of LMs for these FinNLP tasks, we present the first…

Fanfiction in the Age of AI: Community Perspectives on Creativity, Authenticity and Adoption
The integration of Generative AI (GenAI) into creative communities, like fanfiction, is reshaping how stories are created, shared, and valued. This study investigates the perceptions of 157 active fanfiction members, both readers and writers, regarding AI-generated content in fanfiction. Our research explores the impact of GenAI on community dynamics, examining how AI affects the participatory and collaborative nature of these spaces. The findings reveal responses ranging from cautious acceptan…

Wanting to Be Understood Explains the Meta-Problem of Consciousness
Because we are highly motivated to be understood, we created public external representations -- mime, language, art -- to externalise our inner states. We argue that such external representations are a pre-condition for access consciousness, the global availability of information for reasoning. Yet the bandwidth of access consciousness is tiny compared with the richness of `raw experience', so no external representation can reproduce that richness in full. Ordinarily an explanation of experienc…

Phase-Field Modeling and Energy-Stable Schemes for Osmotic Flow through Semi-Permeable
We present a thermodynamically consistent phase-field model for simulating fluid transport across semi-permeable membranes, with a particular focus on osmotic pressure effects. The model extends the classical Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard (NSCH) system by introducing an Allen-Cahn-type transmembrane flux governed by chemical potential imbalances, resulting in a strongly coupled system involving fluid motion, solute transport, and interface dynamics. To solve this system efficiently and accurately…

i've upgraded the Ethernet controller applet for #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer
this is the main loop of the applet working in bridge mode (acting as a network card for your PC). no weird optimizations, no hacks, just a loop that forwards packets in normal boring Python
on a 100BASE-T link, i get ~95.5 Mbps [saturated link] of upload bandwidth and ~70 Mbps of downlo…

Thermal and Optical Characterization of Near-Earth Objects: Science Commissioning of the Recently Upgraded Mid-Infrared Camera MIRSI on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility
Mid-infrared (mid-IR) observations of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) have historically been a valuable tool for understanding their physical properties. However, the current state of mid-IR instruments on ground-based telescopes places several limitations on performing thermal characterization of NEOs. The complexity of maintaining these instruments in operational conditions on telescopes has led to their decommissioning. Here, we present the first science commissioning observations out to 12.5 micr…

Super-diffusive sub-picosecond extraction of hot carriers in black phosphorous
Harvesting hot carriers before they lose energy to the lattice is a critical route toward surpassing the conventional thermodynamic limit in optical-to-electrical (O-E) conversion. However, photocurrent from such hot carriers has remained challenging to directly detect because they equilibrate on picosecond timescales, outpacing conventional electronic measurement. Here, by employing terahertz electronics with sub-picosecond temporal resolution, we directly monitor hot-carrier-driven O-E conver…
