macOS Tahoe 26 hands-on: Liquid Glass is slick but slightly overwrought, and the new Spotlight search features are nifty and useful, but fall short of Raycast (Antonio G. Di Benedetto/The Verge)

Hands on with macOS Tahoe 26: Liquid Glass, new theme options, and Spotlight
macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta 1 is here, with our first glimpse at Liquid Glass on the desktop, plus the first glimmers of Spotlight’s big new moves.

STOAT: Spatial-Temporal Probabilistic Causal Inference Network
Spatial-temporal causal time series (STC-TS) involve region-specific temporal observations driven by causally relevant covariates and interconnected across geographic or network-based spaces. Existing methods often model spatial and temporal dynamics independently and overlook causality-driven probabilistic forecasting, limiting their predictive power. To address this, we propose STOAT (Spatial-Temporal Probabilistic Causal Inference Network), a novel framework for probabilistic forecasting in …

A Spectral Confounder Adjustment for Spatial Regression with Multiple Exposures and Outcomes
Unmeasured spatial confounding complicates exposure effect estimation in environmental health studies. This problem is exacerbated in studies with multiple health outcomes and environmental exposure variables, as the source and magnitude of confounding bias may differ across exposure/outcome pairs. We propose to mitigate the effects of spatial confounding in multivariate studies by projecting to the spectral domain to separate relationships by the spatial scale and assuming that the confounding…

This episode was incredibly good! It’s super interesting that HTML imports would actually be possible (and also that they might be called <rupert> – and include lazy loading)! Thank you guys! 👏

PlanQA: A Benchmark for Spatial Reasoning in LLMs using Structured Representations
We introduce PlanQA, a diagnostic benchmark for evaluating geometric and spatial reasoning in large-language models (LLMs). PlanQA is grounded in structured representations of indoor scenes, such as kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms, encoded in a symbolic format (e.g., JSON, XML layouts). The benchmark includes diverse question types that test not only metric and topological reasoning (e.g., distance, visibility, shortest paths) but also interior design constraints such as affordance, cleara…
