Congress needs a major course correction or else it will slide into a permanent state of weakness that further empowers the presidency.

Earlier this month, the Bipartisan Policy Center began publishing a report that suggests the decades-long slide on Capitol Hill is reaching a 'point of no return'.

Under the headline of “Congress at a Crossroads,”
the initial report cites the often mentioned “polarization” and “nationalization” of politics
that pushes lawmakers tow…

Learning from Trials and Errors: Reflective Test-Time Planning for Embodied LLMs
Yining Hong, Huang Huang, Manling Li, Li Fei-Fei, Jiajun Wu, Yejin Choi
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.21198 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.21198 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.21198

Abstract: Embodied LLMs endow robots with high-level task reasoning, but they cannot reflect on what went wrong or why, turning deployment into a sequence of independent trials where mistakes repeat rather than accumulate into experience. Drawing upon human reflective practitioners, we introduce Reflective Test-Time Planning, which integrates two modes of reflection: \textit{reflection-in-action}, where the agent uses test-time scaling to generate and score multiple candidate actions using internal reflections before execution; and \textit{reflection-on-action}, which uses test-time training to update both its internal reflection model and its action policy based on external reflections after execution. We also include retrospective reflection, allowing the agent to re-evaluate earlier decisions and perform model updates with hindsight for proper long-horizon credit assignment. Experiments on our newly-designed Long-Horizon Household benchmark and MuJoCo Cupboard Fitting benchmark show significant gains over baseline models, with ablative studies validating the complementary roles of reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action. Qualitative analyses, including real-robot trials, highlight behavioral correction through reflection.

Faith and an Atheist’s Hope for Believers

This is important. “Intent” is a fundamentally flawed way of understanding that guy; I’m not sure he even really •intends• things at all in the way most of us understand the term. He’s a ball of needs and impulses, unrestrained by reflection, coherence, conscience, or basic self-awareness.
Focus on the action. https://adhd.irenes.space/@ireneista/statuses/01KNMR49VW73KGTWMFCZ1MSDWR

The history of the term "anarchist" is itself adversarial. Those who embraced it did so intending to engage with it as controversy, so I feel like I'm not too out of line with this history in using my socialization of being comfortable while being adversarial, and my social license as a cis dude to just say some random shit for attention, to draw that attention back to this whole subject.
Since this post did get some attention, I'm gonna link back to the one that prompted it (and tag @…, who I think is the author, for a heads up if there's anything to add):
https://immerautonom.noblogs.org/the-elephant-in-the-room/
I think I have said some useful things in my post, or at least repeated things others have been saying for years in a useful way, but this post is really the thing to look at (again, if you didn't miss it like I did) and think. There was definitely a time when I would have fallen for that whole hoax, and maybe even have struggled to argue against the things being highlighted. But it's clear that there is still a problem, and I hope repeating these things in my dude voice catches the attention of some folks who might have otherwise missed it... And I hope my adversarial approach doesn't pull focus away from the self-reflection that needs to happen.
Men are the problem here. Men need to fix this. Men are responsible for looking at some of this really horrible shit and acknowledging that we've all been part of the system that makes them possible and have an obligation to destroy that system.

I found an old diary, from 1980. That’s literally half a lifetime ago. The entries are quite sparse, but I can recall some of the reasons for some of my actions back then. With reflection, I would have made some different choices. Not that I am unhappy with where I am now, but how one’s interests, and likes and dislikes change over almost a half century.

Abstract: The focus of this educational text is selected examples of high-frequency electronic circuits and their components employed for the accurate phasing and synchronisation of accelerator cavities. Examples have been chosen to describe the basics of RF electronics. The starting point is transmission lines, connectors, discontinuities, and the handling of reflection. The application of simple surface mount components is discussed. The use of the Kuroda identities for converting lumped circuit designs to printed circuit designs is demonstrated. The accelerator example used to demonstrate the use of components is a circuit designed for the synchronisation of the CLIC crab cavities. This example employs co-planar waveguide, SMA connectors, Wilkinson splitters, and surface-mount double-balanced mixers. For the control of cavity phase and amplitude, the benefit of I&Q controllers will be explained. The text will then discuss the operation and use of I&Q modulators and VCOs.

Tell Me About Your Unusual Hobbies
This post is part of the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge, hosted by Long and Short Reviews. Check out other bloggers at this week’s post. This week’s prompt: “My Unusual Hobbies/Interests.” I don’t know if it’s all that unusual, but one of my primary hobbies is genealogy research. I think it mostly stems from my interest in stories and my drive to learn lots of things about lots of people.

Steven High, a historian of labour and de-industrialization, knows a thing or two. Here he offers his take on Lewis, contextualizing the positions he's taken in a very (very, very) brief potted history of the NDP and a reflection on the party as it stands at the moment. Worth a couple of minutes.

Avi Lewis will make the NDP think big again
The road ahead will not be an easy one for Lewis and the New Democrats. And while his vision may ultimately resonate more with the party’s urban progressives than its working-class base, it is exciting to think that the NDP might once again be the source of bold new ideas. Canadian politics will be better for it.

I was honored to be able to offer a small reflection at this event. Since March 3, 2025, Multifaith Monday vigils have served as a sacred space for collective lament, prophetic resistance, and multifaith community-building in a time of deep division and threat to America’s democratic values. Every Monday, New Yorkers come together — rain or shine, hot or cold — to draw strength from each other, and…

Upon reflection, the single semester of Capoeira I took as a PE elective in college has to be one of the must useful college classes I took in terms of applications to parenting.

I yearn for C 26 and not having to do repetitive tasks ever again to have a modicum of reflection. I want my static reflections yesterday, and my template for one day before that.

In the end, it’s less about the hobbies themselves and more about the stories I’m still trying to find.

Courtroom-Style Multi-Agent Debate with Progressive RAG and Role-Switching for Controversial Claim Verification
Masnun Nuha Chowdhury, Nusrat Jahan Beg, Umme Hunny Khan, Syed Rifat Raiyan, Md Kamrul Hasan, Hasan Mahmud
https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.28488 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.28488 https://arxiv.org/html/2603.28488
arXiv:2603.28488v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) remain unreliable for high-stakes claim verification due to hallucinations and shallow reasoning. While retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and multi-agent debate (MAD) address this, they are limited by one-pass retrieval and unstructured debate dynamics. We propose a courtroom-style multi-agent framework, PROClaim, that reformulates verification as a structured, adversarial deliberation. Our approach integrates specialized roles (e.g., Plaintiff, Defense, Judge) with Progressive RAG (P-RAG) to dynamically expand and refine the evidence pool during the debate. Furthermore, we employ evidence negotiation, self-reflection, and heterogeneous multi-judge aggregation to enforce calibration, robustness, and diversity. In zero-shot evaluations on the Check-COVID benchmark, PROClaim achieves 81.7% accuracy, outperforming standard multi-agent debate by 10.0 percentage points, with P-RAG driving the primary performance gains ( 7.5 pp). We ultimately demonstrate that structural deliberation and model heterogeneity effectively mitigate systematic biases, providing a robust foundation for reliable claim verification. Our code and data are publicly available at https://github.com/mnc13/PROClaim.

GraphWalker: Agentic Knowledge Graph Question Answering via Synthetic Trajectory Curriculum

https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.28533 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.28533 https://arxiv.org/html/2603.28533
arXiv:2603.28533v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Agentic knowledge graph question answering (KGQA) requires an agent to iteratively interact with knowledge graphs (KGs), posing challenges in both training data scarcity and reasoning generalization. Specifically, existing approaches often restrict agent exploration: prompting-based methods lack autonomous navigation training, while current training pipelines usually confine reasoning to predefined trajectories. To this end, this paper proposes \textit{GraphWalker}, a novel agentic KGQA framework that addresses these challenges through \textit{Automated Trajectory Synthesis} and \textit{Stage-wise Fine-tuning}. GraphWalker adopts a two-stage SFT training paradigm: First, the agent is trained on structurally diverse trajectories synthesized from constrained random-walk paths, establishing a broad exploration prior over the KG; Second, the agent is further fine-tuned on a small set of expert trajectories to develop reflection and error recovery capabilities. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our stage-wise SFT paradigm unlocks a higher performance ceiling for a lightweight reinforcement learning (RL) stage, enabling GraphWalker to achieve state-of-the-art performance on CWQ and WebQSP. Additional results on GrailQA and our constructed GraphWalkerBench confirm that GraphWalker enhances generalization to out-of-distribution reasoning paths.

Weathering the Cold, and Big Ideas on Death
From winter weather to podcasts, music, and essays that linger, this week moves from weather reports to deeper reflections. A powerful piece on death reminds me how easily the everyday can turn quietly profound.

Weathering the Cold, and Big Ideas on Death – Bob Mueller
From Winter Storm Fern to music, podcasts, and a moving essay on death, a week of weather, culture, and reflection.

Very proud and excited to vote in the NDP leadership race today!!
This is not the first time I've voted in a Federal leadership race... more on that later but first, my choices! I considered only voting for two people, but I ended up filling in all 5 choices.
#1: Tanille Johnston @…
#2: Avi Lewis @…
#3: Heather McPherson
#4: Tony McQuail
#5: Rob Ashton
Why?
You might ask why I would publicize my choices. I don’t expect others to of course. It is a privilege and a right in Canada to exercise your democratic choice freely and privately, but I also think there is value in knowing how others voted.
#1 why Tanille? #electoralReform and proportional representation myself, I didn't just want to pick my top two. I wanted to make a statement on each of these candidates an influence each one.
To be blunt, Heather is #3 because she is the middle-of-the-road candidate. She is an excellent representative as MP and has gathered the support of other MPs including my own, but while I would be OK with her leadership, I would see her as a continuation of the status quo, and that is not what the NDP needs as a party, nor is it what Canada needs as a country.
We desperately need a vigorous and clear alternative to the Centre-but-mostly-Right Liberals, and the MAGA-wannabe Conservatives. The only way to do that is to catch the attention of Canadians and inspire them. I am not sure that Heather has the ability to do that, and if we continue with the same leadership crew in the NDP, I am not confident that the policy choices will be strong enough to inspire and attract Canadians.
That is why Tanille and Avi are far better options.
#4 Why Tony:

Tony is the real deal. Honestly, I would have loved to rank him higher. He represents the true life blood of rural, socially progressive, environmentally aware, Canadians. You should go check out his platform. I am so glad that he was able to participate fully in the race and we need his voice in the NDP.
#5 Why not Rob?
I have been an active member in my Union for more than 10 years. Unionism is The Way. Rob is representing a division within the union movement that claims that working people can't have jobs if the environment is put first. This is a lie.
We need union leaders that look to the future and speak honestly to people. We need union leaders who are genuinely progressive, not ready to do the bidding of corporate masters to the benefit of a few.
Working people need honesty, and when an industry is on decline, a clear path to new, excellent, union, jobs!

Snow, Silence, and the Difficult Question of How We Die
A winter storm slowed the world to an eerie quiet, blurring time and routine. In that silence, my thoughts drifted from snow and preparation to harder questions about death, dignity, and whether we should have more control over how life ends.

Snow, Silence, and the Difficult Question of How We Die – Bob Mueller
A winter storm brings silence and reflection, leading to difficult but necessary thoughts on death, dignity, and medical aid in dying.
