Towards Inference-time Scaling for Continuous Space Reasoning
Inference-time scaling through multiple sample generation in combination with Process- or Outcome-Reward Model (PRM or ORM) re-ranking has proven effective for text-based reasoning in large language models. This paper investigates whether such established techniques can be successfully adapted to reasoning in the continuous space, using COCONUT (Hao et al. 2024) continuous space reasoning LM as the backbone. We demonstrate the feasibility of generating diverse reasoning paths through dropout-ba…

Was just having a conversation with someone about how "50%" of the country voted for Trump and in reminding them it's way less took the time to look up the numbers. In 2024 Trump got 77.3 million votes in a country of 340.1 million people. That's 22.7% of the people. ~21.5% of the people are under age 18, so 263.6 million adults. Trump got the vote of 29.3% of them. Some of those adults aren't eligible to vote, but when discussing social dynamics, they matter just as much, as do kids... Even of the people who voted for Trump, many were not at all MAGA fanatics (even if they at minimum had a seriously warped worldview and dangerous politics of one kind or another).
The truth is, almost no president has ever had a huge popular mandate, because our society is engineered to let a minority political class retain most of the power while giving the illusion of influence to the masses.

@… I've been very happy with Mint since I switched from Windows in 2024. It works very well and is fairly customizable. It's also not a difficult transition from Windows. I found Ubuntu to be not as satisfying. I've also tried Zorin, but prefer Mint, because it is more customizable, at least for me.

Over the 2 years since the previous elections, popular support for the 4 right-far-right coalition parties in the Netherlands consistently went downhill, from 56% shortly after the elections to 50% at the start of their coalition government in July 2024 to 31% now.

Updated Running Quark and Lepton Parameters at Various Scales
In the light of the recent Particle Data Group (PDG) release, we revisit the running quark and lepton Yukawa couplings, together with the quark mixing parameters, across a range of energy scales. The 2024 PDG determinations of low-energy fermion masses feature significantly smaller uncertainties, resulting from a reduced estimate of systematic errors compared to the more conservative treatment in the 2022 analysis. To assess the impact of these changes, we present running parameters obtained us…

From X-rays to High-Energy Gamma-rays: A Comprehensive Multi-Wavelength Study of Early Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) generate powerful relativistic jets that inject a large amount of energy into their surrounding environment, producing blast waves that accelerate particles to high energies. The GRB afterglow radiation provides a powerful means to investigate the microphysics of relativistic shocks and to probe the medium surrounding the progenitor of the burst. In this study, we present a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of 31 GRBs observed between 2008 and 2024 from the Neil Geh…

When Hallucination Costs Millions: Benchmarking AI Agents in High-Stakes Adversarial Financial Markets
We present CAIA, a benchmark exposing a critical blind spot in AI evaluation: the inability of state-of-the-art models to operate in adversarial, high-stakes environments where misinformation is weaponized and errors are irreversible. While existing benchmarks measure task completion in controlled settings, real-world deployment demands resilience against active deception. Using crypto markets as a testbed where $30 billion was lost to exploits in 2024, we evaluate 17 models on 178 time-anchore…

Jede Woche intensiv ein Album hören, so wie als Jugendlicher, wo ein Album bis zum nächsten Taschengeld reichen musste. In der vergangenen Woche war das "Boomer Bends" des Gitarristen und Keyboarders Ali Neander, erschienen 2024. Schönster Fusion- und Jazzrock, bis auf ein Stück instrumental. Gekauft insbesondere, weil auf den meisten Tracks Annika Nilles am Schlagzeug zu hören ist. Von deren Musik und Schlagzeugarbeit ich schon eine ganze Weile lang kaum genug kriegen kann.

Uniform ergodicity of geodesic slice sampling

Uniform ergodicity of geodesic slice sampling
Geodesic slice sampling, introduced in Durmus et al., 2024, is a slice sampling based Markov chain Monte Carlo method for approximate sampling from distributions on Riemannian manifolds. We prove that it is uniformly ergodic for distributions with compact support that have a bounded density with respect to the Riemannian measure. The constants in our convergence bound are available explicitly, and we investigate their dependence on the hyperparameters of the geodesic slice sampler, the target d…

"Dispensing false information in a confident tone, rather than offering no answer when none is readily available, is a major flaw of generative AI, experts say. An audit of the top 10 generative AI model... by the media literacy non-profit NewsGuard revealed that the non-response rates of chatbots went down from 31% in August 2024 to 0% in August 2025. At the same time, the chatbots’ likelihood of repeating false information almost doubled from 18% to 35%"
