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.

PasteTrace: A Single Source Plagiarism Detection Tool For Introductory Programming Courses
Introductory Computer Science classes are important for laying the foundation for advanced programming courses. However, students without prior programming experience may find these courses challenging, leading to difficulties in understanding concepts and engaging in academic dishonesty such as plagiarism. While there exists plagiarism detection techniques and tools, not all of them are suitable for academic settings, especially in introductory programming courses. This paper introduces PasteT…

Roblox says it is on track to pay out $1B to creators in 2025, as it revamps its rewards program to encourage creators to bring more players onto the platform (Jay Peters/The Verge)

Roblox wants to better reward creators for bringing players back
Roblox is introducing two new systems that are designed to reward creators for engagement and bringing new and lapsed users onto the platform.

"Dr. Dobb’s would cover every month some programming topic with an excellent series of monographs and a wide array of sample code, interviews, and even excellent humor. In the latter case, an honorary mention goes to Verity Stob, because of their uncanny description of the daily life of a software developer in the Microsoft galaxy of the late 1990s. Those who witnessed the good old days of `On Error Resume Next` are now nodding their heads in despair. I hear you."

Enabling Blockchain Interoperability Through Network Discovery Services
Web3 technologies have experienced unprecedented growth in the last decade, achieving widespread adoption. As various blockchain networks continue to evolve, we are on the cusp of a paradigm shift in which they could provide services traditionally offered by the Internet, but in a decentralized manner, marking the emergence of the Internet of Blockchains. While significant progress has been achieved in enabling interoperability between blockchain networks, existing solutions often assume that n…

A high-order, conservative and positivity-preserving intersection-based remapping method between meshes with isoparametric curvilinear cells

A high-order, conservative and positivity-preserving intersection-based remapping method between meshes with isoparametric curvilinear cells
This paper presents a novel intersection-based remapping method for isoparametric curvilinear meshes within the indirect arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) framework, addressing the challenges of transferring physical quantities between high-order curved-edge meshes. Our method leverages the Weiler-Atherton clipping algorithm to compute intersections between curved-edge quadrangles, enabling robust handling of arbitrary order isoparametric curves. By integrating multi-resolution weighted essen…

Sedimentation equilibrium as a probe of the pressure equation of state of active colloids
We introduce a theoretical and computational framework for extracting the pressure equation of state (EoS) of an active suspension from its steady-state sedimentation profile. As EoSs are prerequisites for many theories in active matter, determining how pressure depends on key parameters such as density, activity, and interparticle interactions is essential to make quantitative predictions relevant to materials design and engineering applications. Focusing on the one-dimensional active Brownian…
