Jellyfin 10.11.0 | Jellyfin
We are pleased to bring you Jellyfin 10.11.0, our new stable release. This is probably one of, if not the, biggest and most impactful releases we've done yet, with some massive backend changes to improve performance and long-term expandability and maintainability. This release has been a long time coming, with over 6 months of development and another 6 months of RC testing, throwing our planned 6-month release schedule completely out of whack, but we definitely think the results are worth it - …

This is what happened to the web when the software industry never spent a moment thinking about long term stability. About users. About usability. About anything other than features and a fast buck.
Among many other failings.

On The Orbital Evolution of Multiple Wide Super-Jupiters: How Disk Migration and Dispersal Shape the Stability of The PDS 70 System
Direct imaging has revealed exoplanet systems hosting multiple wide-orbit Super-Jupiters, where planet-planet interactions can shape their long-term dynamical evolution. These strong perturbations may lead to orbital instability, raising questions about the long-term survival of such systems. Shortly after formation, planet-disk interactions can shepherd planets into mean-motion resonances, which may promote long-term stability as seen in HR 8799. However, early-stage processes such as disk pho…

Our result shows that such a protocol is impossible using only Clifford gates demonstrating that non-Clifford gates are f…

Picture the human body. Zoom in on a single cell. It lives for a while, then splits or dies, as part of a community of cells that make up a particular tissue. This community lives together for many many cell-lifetimes, each performing their own favorite function and reproducing as much as necessary to maintain their community, consuming the essential resources they need and contributing back what they can so that the whole body can live for decades. Each community of cells is interdependent on the whole body, but also stable and sustainable over long periods of time.
Now imagine a cancer cell. It has lost its ability to harmonize with the whole and prioritize balance, instead consuming and reproducing as quickly as it can. As neighboring tissues start to die from its excess, it metastasizes, always spreading to new territory to fuel its unbalanced appetite. The inevitable result is death of the whole body, although through birth, that body can create a new fresh branch of tissues that may continue their stable existence free of cancer. Alternatively, radiation or chemotherapy might be able to kill off the cancer, at great cost to the other tissues, but permitting long-term survival.
To the cancer cell, the idea of decades-long survival of a tissue community is unbelievable. When your natural state is unbounded consumption, growth, and competition, the idea of interdependent cooperation (with tissues all around the body you're not even touching, no less) seems impossible, and the idea that a tissue might survive in a stable form for decades is ludicrous.
"Perhaps if conditions were bleak enough to perfectly balance incessant unrestrained growth against the depredations of a hostile environment it might be possible? I guess the past must have been horribly brutal, so that despite each tissue trying to grow as much as possible they each barely survived? Yes, a stable and sustainable population is probably only possible under conditions of perfectly extreme hardship, and in our current era of unfettered growth, we should rejoice that we live in much easier times!"
You can probably already see where I'm going with this metaphor, but did you know that there are human communities, alive today, that have been living sustainably for *tens, if not hundreds of thousands of years*?

The Cognitive Bandwidth Bottleneck: Shifting Long-Horizon Agent from Planning with Actions to Planning with Schemas
Enabling LLMs to effectively operate long-horizon task which requires long-term planning and multiple interactions is essential for open-world autonomy. Conventional methods adopt planning with actions where a executable action list would be provided as reference. However, this action representation choice would be impractical when the environment action space is combinatorial exploded (e.g., open-ended real world). This naturally leads to a question: As environmental action space scales, what …

My guess here at a distance is that it’s a terrible mistake to think of “Harvard” as a single anthropomorphic entity with a single mind. There are surely terrible internal battles raging at Harvard right now: between those who think it’s truly for education and those who think it’s truly for ROI, between those protecting the dollars and those protecting the brand reputation, between those cowering at the short-term financial risk of angering an authoritarian and those who see the long-term risks of capitulating.
What does “Harvard” think? Harvard is a bunch of different people. I wish them luck, and wisdom. Heaven knows they’ll need it.

The US is planning for the long-term division of Gaza into a “green zone” under Israeli and international military control, where reconstruction would start,
and a “red zone” to be left in ruins.
Foreign forces will initially deploy alongside Israeli soldiers in the east of Gaza,
leaving the devastated strip divided by the current Israeli-controlled “yellow line”, according to US military planning documents seen by the Guardian and sources briefed on American plans.

The 1st Solution for MOSEv2 Challenge 2025: Long-term and Concept-aware Video Segmentation via SeC
This technical report explores the MOSEv2 track of the LSVOS Challenge, which targets complex semi-supervised video object segmentation. By analysing and adapting SeC, an enhanced SAM-2 framework, we conduct a detailed study of its long-term memory and concept-aware memory, showing that long-term memory preserves temporal continuity under occlusion and reappearance, while concept-aware memory supplies semantic priors that suppress distractors; together, these traits directly benefit several MOS…

Fixed Points and Stochastic Meritocracies: A Long-Term Perspective
We study group fairness in the context of feedback loops induced by meritocratic selection into programs that themselves confer additional advantage, like college admissions. We introduce a novel stylized inter-generational model for the setting and analyze it in situations where there are no underlying differences between two populations. We show that, when the benefit of the program (or the harm of not getting into it) is completely symmetric, disparities between the two populations will even…

Differential-Integral Neural Operator for Long-Term Turbulence Forecasting
Accurately forecasting the long-term evolution of turbulence represents a grand challenge in scientific computing and is crucial for applications ranging from climate modeling to aerospace engineering. Existing deep learning methods, particularly neural operators, often fail in long-term autoregressive predictions, suffering from catastrophic error accumulation and a loss of physical fidelity. This failure stems from their inability to simultaneously capture the distinct mathematical structures…
