A #vintageSciFi question: there are lots of plots where evil or misguided AI that controls everything runs amok (HAL) or not (COLOSSUS), but the #IvanTors film Gog (1954) is the earliest I know where a perfectly fine AI master-controller gets hijacked by code-injection from the real enemy; this happens again a decade later in Godzilla vs Megalon, but are there any earlier master-AI takeover films, books or short stories?
(fwiw, any PhD who names his bots Gog and Magog should expect trouble)

Once again I need to request that headlines need their own bylines. Stop letting Editors shitty decisions hide behind journalists' names.

Correlated Mean Field Imitation Learning
We investigate multi-agent imitation learning (IL) within the framework of mean field games (MFGs), considering the presence of time-varying correlated signals. Existing MFG IL algorithms assume demonstrations are sampled from Mean Field Nash Equilibria (MFNE), limiting their adaptability to real-world scenarios. For example, in the traffic network equilibrium influenced by public routing recommendations, recommendations introduce time-varying correlated signals into the game, not captured by M…

It seems that a #Pandoc filter is currently the best way to handle in-text numeric citations, so I think I’ll clean up the code a little and maybe add a way to configure the rendering of author names to some extent.

Cowboys' way-too-early 53-man roster projection: Well known names cut for younger blood
It's that time of the year again: With the 2024 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror and a solid idea of what the UDFA class looks like, it's time to project what the Dallas Cowboys' 53-man roster will look like this season. Yes, injuries and roster maneuvers will impact all of this, but consider this a fun exercise to start identifying some of the top battles that will be taking place throughout the offseason and training camp. Let's dive in. Note: Players with one asterisk (*) represent 2024 draf…

_“The end game would be the ability to login to every Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu box on the internet. If it isn’t a state actor it should be…”_
Cryptographer Filippo Valsorda said, _“This might be the best executed supply chain attack we’ve seen described in the open, and it’s a nightmare scenario: malicious, competent, authorized upstream in a widely used library.”_
And awesome: FOSS community catched it, because tests slowdown

'xz utils' Software Backdoor Uncovered in Years-Long Hacking Plot - UNICORN RIOT
A fascinating but ominous software story dropped on Friday: a widely used file compression software package called “xz utils” has a cleverly embedded system for backdooring shell login connections, and it’s unclear how far this dangerous package got into countless internet-enabled devices. It appears the persona that injected this played a long game, gaining the […]

@… Obviously, I'm not trying to explain CSL to you ;-)
It’s just what I see with Pandoc: it works fine for author-date styles, but with numeric styles, I always get just [42] and no author names.
