Jimmy Kimmel set to return after ABC lifts suspension
Jimmy Kimmel has returned to late-night television after a nearly weeklong suspension. An audience filed in to watch Kimmel’s return Tuesday in a Hollywood taping but there were no immediate reports on what Kimmel said. The suspension triggered a national discussion about freedom of speech and President Donald Trump’s ability to police the words of journalists, commentators and even comics. Two groups of ABC affiliates that denounced Kimmel last week said they would not carry his return on …

EchoBench: Benchmarking Sycophancy in Medical Large Vision-Language Models
Recent benchmarks for medical Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) emphasize leaderboard accuracy, overlooking reliability and safety. We study sycophancy -- models' tendency to uncritically echo user-provided information -- in high-stakes clinical settings. We introduce EchoBench, a benchmark to systematically evaluate sycophancy in medical LVLMs. It contains 2,122 images across 18 departments and 20 modalities with 90 prompts that simulate biased inputs from patients, medical students, and ph…

Pure beauty. The nuance of sax and other instruments -- notably tablas which feature on several tracks. Moods these bring up in me range from touching to expectation.
Thanks for recording this!
And I'm looking forward to adding more from Richard to my collection. Favorite track: Anxiety Hides in my Dreams.

"“Look, I’m not trying to get the world’s tiniest violin out to say, ‘poor MPs’,” [Chris Hinchliff MP] said. “But I will say there seems to be a certain set of people who behave in here more like a private schoolboy drinking club than serious professional people thinking about how to improve the country.”
Yes, this is the #Labour party he's talking about. Meet the new government, jus…

Regression of Suspension Violin Modes in KAGRA O3GK Data with Kalman Filters
Suspension thermal modes in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors produce narrow, high-Q spectral lines that can contaminate gravitational searches and bias parameter estimation. In KAGRA, cryogenic mirrors are held by thick suspension fibers, designed to sustain such low-temperature environment, which may further affects inharmonicity modes, fiber dimensions, and mechanical behavior compared to typical interferometers. Remaining a prominent source of narrowband contamination, we impleme…

Hydrodynamic instabilities in driven chiral suspensions
Active Stokesian suspensions are conventionally understood to generate dipolar stresses that destabilize aligned states in the bulk and drive system-wide spatiotemporally chaotic flows. Here, we report dynamics in suspensions of torque-driven spinning chiral particles that exhibit a distinct and previously unrecognized route to collective dynamics. Using a mean-field kinetic theory, stability analysis, and nonlinear simulations, we demonstrate how flows driven by torque monopoles and self-propu…
