A look at 2025's AI models and what's ahead: OpenAI's o3 is a breakthrough, AI agents will improve randomly and in leaps, but scaling parameters will slow down (Nathan Lambert/Interconnects)

Some ideas for what comes next
As releases slow down, it's time to think about what we got this year and where we are going. o3's search, agent vs model progress, and scaling's settling.

Cowboys season outlook: Dak Prescott is healthy, but is that enough for Dallas to rebound from forgetful 2024?

Stabilization of the bias point in MZM modulators
This article mainly introduces the role of MZM in practical communication systems, the materials used to make MZM modulators such as lithium niobate, and its working principle. It also explains why it changes due to environmental factors. This leads to the introduction of a method that controls the stable points of MZM by algorithmically controlling the voltage, and the algorithm is verified through experiments. Finally, a summary and outlook on the future development of MZM are provided.

Since last Friday I am temporarily the support team. This coming Monday the team is back online. Unexpected issues meant they were away leaving me the sole person doing the work of three (and originally a team of seven).
1. Priority list of tasks. Triaged the incoming workload. Sorry, if you are not in the list then when there is free time I will get to you.
2. Outlook rules. I have using this for years. Organized the INBOX by sender or subject. I also put a special soun…

Finally got through the process of downloading my old Facebook and couple of Instagram accounts data today. Pretty extensive! Had wait several days on Facebook alone.
Just clicked to confirm deletion of ALL my Meta accounts and couldn't be happier!
I have also mostly finished moving all 200 online accounts using my various gmail and outlook emails over to Proton Mail aliases! Coming for you next Google and Microsoft, so watch out!
It's hard work, but take back you…

A Tutorial-cum-Survey on Self-Supervised Learning for Wi-Fi Sensing: Trends, Challenges, and Outlook
Wi-Fi technology has evolved from simple communication routers to sensing devices. Wi-Fi sensing leverages conventional Wi-Fi transmissions to extract and analyze channel state information (CSI) for applications like proximity detection, occupancy detection, activity recognition, and health monitoring. By leveraging existing infrastructure, Wi-Fi sensing offers a privacy-preserving, non-intrusive, and cost-effective solution which, unlike cameras, is not sensitive to lighting conditions. Beginn…
