Putin highlights Russia’s nuclear weapons advancements as Trump weighs renewed nuclear testing: https://benborges.xyz/2025/11/06/putin-highlights-russias-nuclear-weapons.html

I’m somewhat exhausted to announce attrs 25.4.0!
The main reason for this release (and why it's published today) is that it ships the first pieces of work for Python 3.14 and PEP 749. There will be more work required and there's going to be a lot more churn once everyone starts testing 3.14 earnestly. We hope to receive more feedback before spending more time on this. #Python

From Agentification to Self-Evolving Agentic AI for Wireless Networks: Concepts, Approaches, and Future Research Directions
Self-evolving agentic artificial intelligence (AI) offers a new paradigm for future wireless systems by enabling autonomous agents to continually adapt and improve without human intervention. Unlike static AI models, self-evolving agents embed an autonomous evolution cycle that updates models, tools, and workflows in response to environmental dynamics. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of self-evolving agentic AI, highlighting its layered architecture, life cycle, and key techniques,…

“…Trump regime’s…cruelty, corruption, & criminality appears bottomless…just because they want to doesn’t mean they can…they’re trying to bluster & meme their way into…authoritarianism, relying on Americans…in business, media, academia…to appease threats…or do what…regime wants without being asked.
To defeat…push them beyond…limits. Say no to…demands, create friction in their plans, & while…take…threat seriously, don’t act like they have more power than they do.”

Their desire for authoritarian abuse is bottomless, their ability to carry it out is not

ExGRPO: Learning to Reason from Experience
Reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) is an emerging paradigm for improving the reasoning ability of large language models. However, standard on-policy training discards rollout experiences after a single update, leading to computational inefficiency and instability. While prior work on RL has highlighted the benefits of reusing past experience, the role of experience characteristics in shaping learning dynamics of large reasoning models remains underexplored. In this paper, we …

KTBox: A Modular LaTeX Framework for Semantic Color, Structured Highlighting, and Scholarly Communication
The communication of technical insight in scientific manuscripts often relies on ad-hoc formatting choices, resulting in inconsistent visual emphasis and limited portability across document classes. This paper introduces ktbox, a modular LaTeX framework that unifies semantic color palettes, structured highlight boxes, taxonomy trees, and author metadata utilities into a coherent system for scholarly writing. The framework is distributed as a set of lightweight, namespaced components: ktcolor.st…

Dame Stella Rimington, the first woman to head MI5,
has passed away.
The Daily Express obituary highlights her trailblazing career.
Appointed director general in 1992, she was globally recognized as the first female head of an intelligence agency.
Rimington joined MI5 in 1967 as a part-time typist at the British High Commission in New Delhi,
transitioning from what she described as a “bored housewife”.
Throughout her career, she confronted Russian spie…

Press Review - Serious mood and fewer perks: Silicon Valley enters its 'hard tech' era
PRESS REVIEW – Tuesday, August 5: As the plastic pollution summit begins in Geneva, Libération highlights the little-known but devastating scourge of plastic pellets ravaging the planet. Also, Silicon Valley’s shift into a new “hard tech” era reflects a changing political climate; former CNN journalist Jim Acosta sparks controversy after interviewing an AI avatar of a school massacre victim. And, the press pays tribute to Stella Rimington, the first woman chief of MI5.

AllSummedUp: un framework open-source pour comparer les metriques d'evaluation de resume
This paper investigates reproducibility challenges in automatic text summarization evaluation. Based on experiments conducted across six representative metrics ranging from classical approaches like ROUGE to recent LLM-based methods (G-Eval, SEval-Ex), we highlight significant discrepancies between reported performances in the literature and those observed in our experimental setting. We introduce a unified, open-source framework, applied to the SummEval dataset and designed to support fair and…

Think in Games: Learning to Reason in Games via Reinforcement Learning with Large Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) excel at complex reasoning tasks such as mathematics and coding, yet they frequently struggle with simple interactive tasks that young children perform effortlessly. This discrepancy highlights a critical gap between declarative knowledge (knowing about something) and procedural knowledge (knowing how to do something). Although traditional reinforcement learning (RL) agents can acquire procedural knowledge through environmental interaction, they often operate as bla…
