The Compositional Architecture of Regret in Large Language Models
Regret in Large Language Models refers to their explicit regret expression when presented with evidence contradicting their previously generated misinformation. Studying the regret mechanism is crucial for enhancing model reliability and helps in revealing how cognition is coded in neural networks. To understand this mechanism, we need to first identify regret expressions in model outputs, then analyze their internal representation. This analysis requires examining the model's hidden states, wh…

Program Feature-based Fuzzing Benchmarking
Fuzzing is a powerful software testing technique renowned for its effectiveness in identifying software vulnerabilities. Traditional fuzzing evaluations typically focus on overall fuzzer performance across a set of target programs, yet few benchmarks consider how fine-grained program features influence fuzzing effectiveness. To bridge this gap, we introduce a novel benchmark designed to generate programs with configurable, fine-grained program features to enhance fuzzing evaluations. We reviewe…

The large $N$ factorization does not hold for arbitrary multi-trace observables in random tensors
We consider real tensors of order $D$, that is $D$-dimensional arrays of real numbers $T_{a^1a^2 \dots a^D}$, where each index $a^c$ can take $N$ values. The tensor entries $T_{a^1a^2 \dots a^D}$ have no symmetry properties under permutations of the indices. The invariant polynomials built out of the tensor entries are called trace invariants. We prove that for a Gaussian random tensor with $D\ge 3$ indices (that is such that the entries $T_{a^1a^2 \dots a^D}$ are independent identically dist…

David Barton isn’t just a primary pitchman for the Ten Commandments law in Texas
His fingerprints appear on 28 bills that have cropped up before the legislatures in 18 states this year.
A data analysis of the bills exposes how their language, structure and requirements are inherently identical.
In dozens of instances, they match model legislation pitched by Barton verbatim.
At the Texas hearing, Barton’s eyes fixated on the cover of the rare 1782 Aitken Bible.

28 Bills, Ten Commandments and 1 Source: A Christian Right ‘Bill Mill’
More than a dozen state bills — and three new laws mandating the Ten Commandments in public schools — are virtually identical to model legislation.

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site:
Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to.
Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity.
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected.
And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers…

As U.S. immigration officials seek to arrest more than a million people this year,
an army of plainclothes law enforcement agents has dispersed across the country.
They arrive in unmarked vehicles while only their eyes peek out from a balaclava.
Their bulletproof vests may identify them as “police” or a “federal agent” -- but often offer no hint as to their agency or division.
They arrest workers atgrocery stores and car washes and detain people near churches.

By Refusing to Show Faces or Badges, ICE Opens Door to Vigilante Impersonators
The masked, plainclothes ICE agents terrorizing immigrant communities are indistinguishable from racist vigilantes.

Many people are detained at U.S. airports for reasons they find arbitrary and mysterious.
I got lucky—when I was stopped by Customs and Border Protection last week, after flying to Los Angeles from Melbourne, a border agent told me, explicitly and proudly, why I’d been pulled out of the customs line.
“Look, we both know why you are here,” the agent told me.
He identified himself to me as Adam, though his colleagues referred to him as Officer Martinez.
When I said that…
