Climate change is fast shrinking the world’s largest inland sea
The Caspian Sea is disappearing fast – and it’s pitting people against nature.

Historically, it makes sense that absurdism is the logical reaction to a climate of oppression and hostility. Dada and Bauhaus for WW I, the "theatre of the absurd" (Esslin) for WW II, or anti-Vietnam war happenings in the 60s.
Somewhat surprisingly, it seems that this role of absurdist relief has today fallen to Tim Robinson and his sketch comedy show "I think you should leave", and the online community around it.
The protagonists change from sketch to sketch…

LLM Agents at the Roundtable: A Multi-Perspective and Dialectical Reasoning Framework for Essay Scoring
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has brought a new paradigm to automated essay scoring (AES), a long-standing and practical application of natural language processing in education. However, achieving human-level multi-perspective understanding and judgment remains a challenge. In this work, we propose Roundtable Essay Scoring (RES), a multi-agent evaluation framework designed to perform precise and human-aligned scoring under a zero-shot setting. RES constructs evaluator agents bas…

I’m old enough to remember `-ms-high-contrast-adjust: none;` to remove the backplate that Edge added in 2016 (pre-Chromiedge).
Not surprised its `forced-colors` version is frustrating authors:

FairVizARD: A Visualization System for Assessing Multi-Party Fairness of Ride-Sharing Matching Algorithms
There is growing interest in algorithms that match passengers with drivers in ride-sharing problems and their fairness for the different parties involved (passengers, drivers, and ride-sharing companies). Researchers have proposed various fairness metrics for matching algorithms, but it is often unclear how one should balance the various parties' fairness, given that they are often in conflict. We present FairVizARD, a visualization-based system that aids users in evaluating the fairness of rid…
