Which Word Orders Facilitate Length Generalization in LMs? An Investigation with GCG-Based Artificial Languages
Whether language models (LMs) have inductive biases that favor typologically frequent grammatical properties over rare, implausible ones has been investigated, typically using artificial languages (ALs) (White and Cotterell, 2021; Kuribayashi et al., 2024). In this paper, we extend these works from two perspectives. First, we extend their context-free AL formalization by adopting Generalized Categorial Grammar (GCG) (Wood, 2014), which allows ALs to cover attested but previously overlooked cons…

Cybercriminals are using AI to execute highly targeted attacks at scale, causing people to unwittingly send money and sensitive information or simply open themselves up to theft.
Hackers are now able to rent generative AI large language models created in the underground cybercrime community to help formulate text-based scams.
But just as generative AI is enhancing and scaling social engineering attacks, so too is it giving defenders a leg up.

The hacking underworld has removed all of AI's guardrails, but the good guys are closing in

Expansion of trivariate polynomials using proximity
We extend the proximity technique of Solymosi and Zahl [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. A (2024)] to the setting of trivariate polynomials. In particular, we prove the following result: Let $f(x,y,z)=(x-y)^2+(φ(x)-z)^2$, where $φ(x)\in \mathbb{R}[x]$ has degree at least 3. Then, for every finite $A,B,C\subset \mathbb{R}$ each of size $n$, one has $|f(A,B,C)|=Ω(n^{5/3-\varepsilon})$, for every $\varepsilon>0$, where the constant of proportionality depends on $\varepsilon$ and on ${\rm deg}(…

The oscillations occur in the time intervals without detected flares or eruptions. Simultaneously, near the Northern footpoint of the oscillating loop, we detect a $49.6 \pm 5.0$-min periodic variation of the average projected photospheric magnetic field observed with SDO/HMI.

Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

Data-Driven Analysis of Text-Conditioned AI-Generated Music: A Case Study with Suno and Udio
Online AI platforms for creating music from text prompts (AI music), such as Suno and Udio, are now being used by hundreds of thousands of users. Some AI music is appearing in advertising, and even charting, in multiple countries. How are these platforms being used? What subjects are inspiring their users? This article answers these questions for Suno and Udio using a large collection of songs generated by users of these platforms from May to October 2024. Using a combination of state-of-the-ar…

Six microlensing planets detected via sub-day signals during the 2023 -- 2024 season
We present analyses of six microlensing events: KMT-2023-BLG-0548, KMT-2023-BLG-0830, KMT-2023-BLG-0949, KMT-2024-BLG-1281, KMT-2024-BLG-2059, and KMT-2024-BLG-2242. These were identified in KMTNet data from the 2023 -- 2024 seasons, selected for exhibiting anomalies shorter than one day -- potential signatures of low-mass planetary companions. Detailed modeling of the light curves reveals that the anomalies in all six events are caused by planetary companions to the lenses. The brief durations…

Landmines and violence in Colombian Amazon confine Indigenous Siona families
Siona Indigenous guards in southern Colombia are raising alarm that landmines and armed groups are cutting off their families from natural resources and trapping them in small portions of their territory. It’s been an ongoing problem for decades, Mongabay contributor Jose Guarnizo reported. In August 2024, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) expanded its […]

Graphs Excluding a Minor in Blowups of Treewidth 3 Graphs
Alon, Seymour, and Thomas [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 1990] famously showed that every $n$-vertex $K_h$-minor-free graph has treewidth $O_h(\sqrt{n})$. Recently, Distel, Dujmović, Eppstein, Hickingbotham, Joret, Micek, Morin, Seweryn, and Wood [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 2024] refined this by showing that these graphs are $O_h(\sqrt{n})$-blowups of treewidth $4$ graphs. We improve this by showing that these graphs are $O_h(\sqrt{n})$-blowups of treewidth $3$ graphs.

State-Dependent X-ray Variability in Cygnus X-1: A 12-Year NuSTAR Timing Study of Accretion Flow Geometry
We present a comprehensive timing analysis of the black hole X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 using 26 NuSTAR observations spanning 2012-2024, providing the most detailed characterization to date of its accretion flow variability across spectral states. Our analysis reveals fundamental insights into the physics governing state transitions in stellar-mass black holes. We discover distinct bimodal flux distributions in the 8-79 keV band with well-separated peaks, contrasting with overlapping distributions…

Der Ausbau der #Windenergie in Deutschland hat im ersten Halbjahr 2025 deutlich zugelegt.
Mit 405 neuen Onshore-Anlagen und 2.157 MW installierter Leistung wurde der Zubau gegenüber 2024 mehr als verdoppelt.
Treiber sind beschleunigte Genehmigungen und höhere Ausschreibungszuschläge.

Ausbau Windenergie: Deutschland verdoppelt neue Windenergieleistung an Land im ersten Halbjahr 2025
Münster – Der Ausbau der Windenergie in Deutschland hat sich im ersten Halbjahr 2025 im Vergleich zum Vorjahr deutlich beschleunigt. Dies geht aus einer ersten vorläufigen Auswertung von Daten des Marktstammdatenregisters (MaStR) der Bundesnetzagentur (BNetzA) durch das Internationale Wirtschaftsforum Regenerative Energien (IWR) in Münster (Datenstand: 01. Juli 2025) hervor.

Probing spectral variability in NGC 4490 ULX-8 over 24 years of XMM-Newton, Chandra and Swift-XRT observations
We present comprehensive spectral and timing results of 14 Chandra, 6 XMM-Newton and 19 Swift-XRT observations of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4490 ULX-8, spanning from 2000 to 2024. We model the source spectra using absorbed power-law and absorbed multicolour disc blackbody models. The best-fit photon indices span 0.92-2.68, with typical uncertainties ranging from $\pm$0.1 to $\pm$1 depending on data quality. The inner disk temperature range from 0.97 to 1.69 keV, consistent with blackbo…
