Philosophy Professor Reportedly Assaulted & Abducted During ICE Raid on Farm - Daily Nous
Jonathan Caravello, a lecturer in philosophy at California State University Channel Islands, was reportedly "piled on by multiple agents all at once" as "he tried to help a man in a wheelchair" who was having difficulty moving after Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents threw canisters of tear gas at them and their fellow

Inpainting-Guided Policy Optimization for Diffusion Large Language Models
Masked diffusion large language models (dLLMs) are emerging as promising alternatives to autoregressive LLMs, offering competitive performance while supporting unique generation capabilities such as inpainting. We explore how inpainting can inform RL algorithm design for dLLMs. Aligning LLMs with reinforcement learning faces an exploration challenge: sparse reward signals and sample waste when models fail to discover correct solutions. While this inefficiency affects LLMs broadly, dLLMs offer a…

A Survey on Diffusion Language Models
Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) are rapidly emerging as a powerful and promising alternative to the dominant autoregressive (AR) paradigm. By generating tokens in parallel through an iterative denoising process, DLMs possess inherent advantages in reducing inference latency and capturing bidirectional context, thereby enabling fine-grained control over the generation process. While achieving a several-fold speed-up, recent advancements have allowed DLMs to show performance comparable to their …

Sam LaPorta injury: Lions tight end dealing with undisclosed ailment, will miss 'a little bit of time'

Dialing a phone number in the same area code as your own yet still getting charged long distance fees because the number was an exception & outside of your local zone.
Heck, long distance charges for domestic calling in it of itself is probably a foreign concept to Millennials & GenZ.

(Bicycle) Speed and safety
For years I've heard people talking about how motor-assisted bicycles "are safer" because they can "match traffic speed", but I think this is mistaken.  Here's three reasons why. For me the most compelling reason comes from a 2007 paper by Laurie F. Beck, Ann M. Dellinger, and Mary E. O’Neil in the American Journal of Epidemiology, "Motor Vehicle Crash Injury Rates by Mode of Travel, United States: Using Exposure-Based Methods…
