Humanity's Last Code Exam: Can Advanced LLMs Conquer Human's Hardest Code Competition?
Code generation is a core capability of large language models (LLMs), yet mainstream benchmarks (e.g., APPs and LiveCodeBench) contain questions with medium-level difficulty and pose no challenge to advanced LLMs. To better reflected the advanced reasoning and code generation ability, We introduce Humanity's Last Code Exam (HLCE), comprising 235 most challenging problems from the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC World Finals) and the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI)…

No War With Iran Will Erase Israel's Crimes in Gaza. Don't Get Distracted.
Israel has adopted a worldview in which every problem should be solved through force, and the people of Israel have become a collective that admires force and brutality while scorning dialogue and compromise.

'In the local data that the audit examined from three [THREE] police forces, they identified clear evidence of “over-representation among suspects of Asian and Pakistani-heritage men”.
'However, the review also criticised the ongoing failure to collect ethnicity at a national level, with it not recorded for two-thirds of perpetrators, making it impossible “to provide any accurate assessment from the nationally collected data”.'
Not so conclusive then.

What is the Casey report on UK grooming gangs – and why did Labour U-turn?
The report addressed the UK’s institutional failure to protect children and teenage girls from sexual exploitation.

Typical #Mastodon (Fediverse?) moment:

• a supportive video on the #Fediverse is referenced in a post. In this case the video is on YouTube...
• one person in the comments saying that the video should really be on PeerTube instead

Sonnet 069 - LXIX
Those parts of thee that the world's eye doth view
Want nothing that the thought of hearts can mend;
All tongues, the voice of souls, give thee that due,
Uttering bare truth, even so as foes commend.
Thy outward thus with outward praise is crown'd;
But those same tongues, that give thee so thine own,
In other accents do this praise confound
By seeing farther than the eye hath shown.
They look into the beauty of t…

A Cooperative Contactless Object Transport with Acoustic Robots
Cooperative transport, the simultaneous movement of an object by multiple agents, has been widely observed in biological systems such as ant colonies, which improve efficiency and adaptability in dynamic environments. Inspired by these natural phenomena, we present a novel acoustic robotic system for the transport of contactless objects in mid-air. Our system leverages phased ultrasonic transducers and a robotic control system onboard to generate localized acoustic pressure fields, enabling pre…
