Biden is summoning congressional leaders to the White House to talk Ukraine and government funding
President Joe Biden will convene the top four congressional leaders at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the emergency aid package for Ukraine and Israel, as well as avoiding a government shutdown next month. That's according to a White House official, who spoke anonymously to discuss a meeting not yet publicly confirmed. The top four leaders include House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Republican Leader Mitch …

Crypto Miner, Pennsylvania Hit With Lawsuit Over Pollution From Bitcoin Mine - Slashdot
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: An environmental community group on Tuesday sued Stronghold Digital Mining claiming the company's bitcoin mine in northeastern Pennsylvania that burns waste coal and old tires for energy is polluting nearby communities with dangerous chemicals. The l...

The influence of Structural Dynamics in Two-Dimensional Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskites on their Photoluminescence Efficiency -- Neutron scattering analysis
Two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have emerged as promising materials for light-emitting diode applications. In this study, by using time-of-flight neutron spectroscopy we identified and quantitatively separated the lattice vibrational and molecular rotational dynamics of two perovskites, butylammonium lead iodide $(\text{BA})_{2}\text{PbI}_{4}$ and phenethyl-ammonium lead iodide $\text{(PEA)}_{2}\text{PbI}_{4}$. By examining the corresponding temperature dependence, …

SA development is so slow and trust-based that I can’t imagine us ever getting an ‘over the transom’ submission of LLM-generated code and paying any attention to it.
Rules are a different story, as those just need to prove themselves in QA. We've already got some rules that are algorithmically generated, but no one claims that to be “AI" and a trusted human does the commit before RuleQA gets to put them to the test.

Large Language Models are Advanced Anonymizers
Recent work in privacy research on large language models has shown that they achieve near human-level performance at inferring personal data from real-world online texts. With consistently increasing model capabilities, existing text anonymization methods are currently lacking behind regulatory requirements and adversarial threats. This raises the question of how individuals can effectively protect their personal data in sharing online texts. In this work, we take two steps to answer this quest…

Anonymizing Test Data in Android: Does It Hurt?
Failure data collected from the field (e.g., failure traces, bug reports, and memory dumps) represent an invaluable source of information for developers who need to reproduce and analyze failures. Unfortunately, field data may include sensitive information and thus cannot be collected indiscriminately. Privacy-preserving techniques can address this problem anonymizing data and reducing the risk of disclosing personal information. However, collecting anonymized information may harm reproducibili…

Disentangling ID and Modality Effects for Session-based Recommendation
Session-based recommendation aims to predict intents of anonymous users based on their limited behaviors. Modeling user behaviors involves two distinct rationales: co-occurrence patterns reflected by item IDs, and fine-grained preferences represented by item modalities (e.g., text and images). However, existing methods typically entangle these causes, leading to their failure in achieving accurate and explainable recommendations. To this end, we propose a novel framework DIMO to disentangle the…

"Mit all diesen Indizien fiel der Verdacht auf Wasserenthärter, die handelsüblichen Waschmitteln zugesetzt sind. Die Vermutung ist keineswegs so abwegig, wie sie auf den ersten Blick scheinen mag – im Gegenteil. In Europa verkaufte Waschmittel enthalten oft Aminomethylphosphonate. (...) Wenn sie sich zersetzen, entsteht als Abbauprodukt ebenfalls AMPA. Glyphosat ist mit ihnen strukturell stark verwandt."
Ein Text von Verena Tang und @…

Glyphosat entsteht womöglich aus Waschmittel
Ein Teil des Glyphosats in der Umwelt könnte aus einer ganz anderen Quelle stammen als bisher vermutet. Daten deuten darauf hin, dass es aus Wasserenthärtern entsteht.
