How misinformation overtook Indian newsrooms amid conflict with Pakistan
Journalists from some of India’s largest news networks spoke to The Post about why falsehoods filled the airwaves during a crucial and dangerous moment.

The Trump administration found
“no viable path” forward
to complete California’s high-speed rail project
following a nearly four-month investigation that jeopardizes
$4 billion in federal funding.
In a 310-page compliance review released Wednesday,
the Department of Transportation cited budget shortfalls,
missed deadlines and a misleading projected ridership to connect San Francisco to Los Angeles via fast rail.
The review targets federal gran…

SAVOR: Skill Affordance Learning from Visuo-Haptic Perception for Robot-Assisted Bite Acquisition
Robot-assisted feeding requires reliable bite acquisition, a challenging task due to the complex interactions between utensils and food with diverse physical properties. These interactions are further complicated by the temporal variability of food properties-for example, steak becomes firm as it cools even during a meal. To address this, we propose SAVOR, a novel approach for learning skill affordances for bite acquisition-how suitable a manipulation skill (e.g., skewering, scooping) is for a …

Holographic complexity of the Klebanov-Strassler background
We study the complexity of the gravity dual to the confining $SU(N)\times SU(N+M)$ Klebanov-Strassler gauge theory, which is an important test case for holographic complexity in higher-dimensional and nonconformal gauge/gravity dualities. We emphasize the dependence of the complexity on parameters of the gauge theory, finding a common behavior with confinement scale for several complexity functionals. We also analyze how the complexity diverges with the UV cut off, which is more complicated tha…

I am once again asking GHC devs to make it possible for tooling such as HLint and the Haskell Language Server to compile against multiple versions of GHC.
I realise that this is a gigantic undertaking, but if you're wondering why people don't stick with Haskell, it might be because every compiler version upgrade breaks *everything*.

An Algorithmic Pipeline for GDPR-Compliant Healthcare Data Anonymisation: Moving Toward Standardisation
High-quality real-world data (RWD) is essential for healthcare but must be transformed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPRs broad definitions of quasi-identifiers (QIDs) and sensitive attributes (SAs) complicate implementation. We aim to standardise RWD anonymisation for GDPR compliance while preserving data utility by introducing an algorithmic method to identify QIDs and SAs and evaluate utility in anonymised datasets. We conducted a systematic literature review…

Amend Investigatory Powers Act: bar Govt from protected, private customer data
Amend the Act to specifically and completely bar any Government from attempting to compel any company to give them access to customers' data, which we think undermines privacy. We don't want any companies to pull privacy features from the UK market, potentially as a result of the Act and its use.
