Mxplainer: Explain and Learn Insights by Imitating Mahjong Agents
People need to internalize the skills of AI agents to improve their own capabilities. Our paper focuses on Mahjong, a multiplayer game involving imperfect information and requiring effective long-term decision-making amidst randomness and hidden information. Through the efforts of AI researchers, several impressive Mahjong AI agents have already achieved performance levels comparable to those of professional human players; however, these agents are often treated as black boxes from which few in…

This story is cute: A malicious "Solidity" (that's the smart contract language Ethereum and other blockchains use) extension for Cursor, the Vibe-Coding Editor included code that steals your tokens/coins.
I find it funny for two reasons:
- Blockchainers love talking about how you need to verify things you interact with but someone wasn't checking if they have the right extension
- Programming smart contracts is hard because it's a massively hostile envir…

MExplore: an entity-based visual analytics approach for medical expertise acquisition
Acquiring medical expertise is a critical component of medical education and professional development. While existing studies focus primarily on constructing medical knowledge bases or developing learning tools based on the structured, private healthcare data, they often lack methods for extracting expertise from unstructured medical texts. These texts constitute a significant portion of medical literature and offer greater flexibility and detail compared to structured data formats. Furthermore…

Wer war so durstig? - Polizei fand in Maisfeld 300 leere Bierkisten #News #Nachrichten

Today in chatbot uselessness: I was looking for a sentence I knew existed in my bank's website, explaining the procedure for one very specific action. The bank refuses to receive email and does not have a search function; both have been replaced by a chatbot. The bot insisted I must have misspelled my question, and kept directing me to a completely irrelevant page.
Luckily, back in 2014 I saved a PDF file which contained the answer. Once I looked it up, ctrl-f solved my problem in …

Asymmetric Effects Underlying Dynamic Heterogeneity in Miscible Blends of Poly(methyl methacrylate) with Poly(ethylene oxide)

Asymmetric Effects Underlying Dynamic Heterogeneity in Miscible Blends of Poly(methyl methacrylate) with Poly(ethylene oxide)
The emergence of spatially variable local dynamics, or dynamic heterogeneity, is common in multicomponent polymer systems. Such heterogeneity is understood to arise from differences between the intrinsic dynamical fluctuations associated with one component versus another. However, the nature of the dynamic coupling between these components and how it depends on composition, temperature, and environmental fluctuations is not fully understood. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulations to charac…
