Truth and meaningfulness
I outline a new theory of truth that resolves the classical and constructive versions of the liar paradox. The theory features a provably consistent axiomatization of a global self-applicative truth predicate. Truth is defined using Tarski's "convention T", but compositionality is automatic. The correct, non-paradoxical form of Frege's Basic Law V is given. This paper is a (very) condensed version of the account of truth advanced in my recent book *Constructive Countablism*.

Thief of Truth: VR comics about the relationship between AI and humans
Thief of Truth is a first-person perspective Virtual Reality (VR) comic that explores the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence (AI). The work tells the story of a mind-uploaded human being reborn as a new subject while interacting with an AI that is looking for the meaning of life. In order to experiment with the expandability of VR comics, the work was produced by focusing on three problems. First, the comic is designed using the viewing control effect of VR. Second, through…

Distillation versus Contrastive Learning: How to Train Your Rerankers
Training text rerankers is crucial for information retrieval. Two primary strategies are widely used: contrastive learning (optimizing directly on ground-truth labels) and knowledge distillation (transferring knowledge from a larger reranker). While both have been studied in the literature, a clear comparison of their effectiveness for training cross-encoder rerankers under practical conditions is needed. This paper empirically compares these strategies by training rerankers of different size…

US political contradictions; knowledge systems
As Trump at least partially succeeds in constructing an alternate reality for his most ardent followers, it's tempting to think of his dogma as false, in contrast to some imagined "truth" which his non-followers are smart enough to believe in. But a more nuanced view of knowledge would admit that different groups of people have different shared truths, constituting different knowledge systems which each deviate from what's objectively measurable in different ways, and in fact they each accept different standards of what is objective, so there's not really a single "ground truth" we can even compare to to determine which of these knowledge systems is "more correct" (similar problems arise even if we only care about "more useful").
To make this more concrete, we can see that e.g., competing quantum physics theories, or likewise competing religious beliefs, have no reasonable basis on which to judge between them, either in terms of "truth" or "utility." So the Trump-dogma knowledge system, although bad, morally repugnant, etc., can't so easily be dismissed as "false" in my view. "Distorted" or "malignant" or "evil" or "contradictory" are better monikers, in my opinion.
But what I'm even more interested in thinking about is: in what ways does the current American liberal "common sense" knowledge system already bear the scars of past fascist lies & contradictions? I can think of a few:
"Columbus was an explorer."
This is "factually accurate" in the same way some of Trump's propaganda is, but it's also a cruel distortion of "Columbus was a child murderer," and it's a misrepresentation that serves an evil purpose, yet which is widely taught in elementary schools today.
Another: "dropping atomic bombs on civilians in Japan was necessary to end WWII."
Perhaps in the future we'll have "family separation & the 2025 ICE crackdowns were necessary to end the immigration crisis," although I dearly hope not.
"Reparations for slavery aren't reasonable," is yet another...
I'll close this rambling with a question: what other fascist lies have you noticed that are normalized in America right now from past Trump-like leaders (or even from less overtly fascist institutions)?

This paper studies the hardness of unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) under covariate shift. We model the uncertainty that the learner faces by a distribution $π$ in the ground-truth triples $(p, q, f)$ -- which we call a UDA class -- where $(p, q)$ is the source -- target distribution pair and $f$ is the classifier. We define the performance of a learner as the overall target domain risk, averaged over the randomness of the ground-truth triple. This formulation couples the source distributi…

Do-PFN: In-Context Learning for Causal Effect Estimation
Estimation of causal effects is critical to a range of scientific disciplines. Existing methods for this task either require interventional data, knowledge about the ground truth causal graph, or rely on assumptions such as unconfoundedness, restricting their applicability in real-world settings. In the domain of tabular machine learning, Prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) have achieved state-of-the-art predictive performance, having been pre-trained on synthetic data to solve tabular prediction…

“Siloviki” is perhaps the most borrowed word in Russian studies
— probably because it explains so much about Putin’s Russia.
Its members are the police, the border control, the army, the security services, the spies.
For their service to the regime, they are rewarded with early pensions,
plenty of cash and almost total immunity from investigation for corruption or brutality.
In truth, the American security state, with its qualified immunity, surveillance appar…

Centralized Copy-Paste: Enhanced Data Augmentation Strategy for Wildland Fire Semantic Segmentation
Collecting and annotating images for the purpose of training segmentation models is often cost prohibitive. In the domain of wildland fire science, this challenge is further compounded by the scarcity of reliable public datasets with labeled ground truth. This paper presents the Centralized Copy-Paste Data Augmentation (CCPDA) method, for the purpose of assisting with the training of deep-learning multiclass segmentation models, with special focus on improving segmentation outcomes for the fire…

“The easiest way to save money in our Budget,
Billions and Billions of Dollars,
is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,”
Trump posted on Truth Social.
“I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”
On Saturday, he said that the move was still on the table:
“I’d be allowed to do that,” he said, “but I have, I haven’t given it any thought.”
Trump also suggested that it was Musk who was reeling from the toxic breakup.

STSBench: A Spatio-temporal Scenario Benchmark for Multi-modal Large Language Models in Autonomous Driving
We introduce STSBench, a scenario-based framework to benchmark the holistic understanding of vision-language models (VLMs) for autonomous driving. The framework automatically mines pre-defined traffic scenarios from any dataset using ground-truth annotations, provides an intuitive user interface for efficient human verification, and generates multiple-choice questions for model evaluation. Applied to the NuScenes dataset, we present STSnu, the first benchmark that evaluates the spatio-temporal …

On Thursday evening, the night of Juneteenth, Donald Trump took to Truth Social with a classic “old man yells at cloud” complaint:
Americans get too much time off work.
“Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed,” he wrote.
“It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
For good measure, he also opined that workers themselves agreed with him on this.
