US intercepts Iranian drones targeting Israel
American forces have intercepted Iranian drones targeting Israel, according to a U.S. defense official. The official said the U.S. continues to “shoot down Iranian-launched drones targeting Israel.” “Our forces remain postured to provide additional defensive support and to protect U.S. forces operating in the region,” the official added. Iran has launched a wave of drones…

Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.03230 Well, let LLMs predict results with sensory substitution training then.

Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results
Scientific discoveries often hinge on synthesizing decades of research, a task that potentially outstrips human information processing capacities. Large language models (LLMs) offer a solution. LLMs trained on the vast scientific literature could potentially integrate noisy yet interrelated findings to forecast novel results better than human experts. To evaluate this possibility, we created BrainBench, a forward-looking benchmark for predicting neuroscience results. We find that LLMs surpass e…

Tractable Joint Prediction and Planning over Discrete Behavior Modes for Urban Driving
Significant progress has been made in training multimodal trajectory forecasting models for autonomous driving. However, effectively integrating these models with downstream planners and model-based control approaches is still an open problem. Although these models have conventionally been evaluated for open-loop prediction, we show that they can be used to parameterize autoregressive closed-loop models without retraining. We consider recent trajectory prediction approaches which leverage learn…

Gaza journalist Diaa Al-Kahlout describes 33 harrowing days in Israeli custody - Committee to Protect Journalists
Diaa Al-Kahlout, the veteran Gaza bureau chief for the Qatari-funded London-based newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, had been covering the Israel-Gaza war for two months when he became part of the news. On December 7, Al-Kahlout was detained along with members of his family by Israeli forces in a mass arrest in Beit Lahya in northern Gaza....

Cowboys sign former All-Pro Linebacker Eric Kendricks
The long wait for Dallas Cowboys fans is over; the team has signed their first free agent. It is former Vikings and Chargers Linebacker, Eric Kendricks . Predictably, this signing did not come without some flare to it, as it was reported Kendricks would be signing with the San Francisco 49ers before changing his mind and heading down south to Dallas. This move was forecasted earlier in the offseason, as Kendricks has a long history with the newest member of the Cowboys coaching staff, Defensive…

Scenario Predict-then-Optimize for Data-Driven Online Inventory Routing
The real-time joint optimization of inventory replenishment and vehicle routing is essential for cost-efficiently operating one-warehouse, multiple-retailer systems. This is complex, as future demand predictions should capture correlation retailer demand, and based upon such predictions, replenishment and routing decisions must be taken. Traditionally, such decisions are made by either making distributional assumptions or using machine-learning-based point forecasts. The former approach ignores…
