All that record-breaking amount of rain we just had? Wasted because we haven't had a new reservoir in 30 years. The Tories privatised England and Wales' water industry 35 years ago, coincidentally

GSM-Plus: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating the Robustness of LLMs as Mathematical Problem Solvers
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved impressive performance across various mathematical reasoning benchmarks. However, there are increasing debates regarding whether these models truly understand and apply mathematical knowledge or merely rely on shortcuts for mathematical reasoning. One essential and frequently occurring evidence is that when the math questions are slightly changed, LLMs can behave incorrectly. This motivates us to evaluate the robustness of LLMs' math reasoning capabili…

In my head, the title is pronounced “Zhakob hazh Zhumped the Zhark.” Which explains… well, nothing, I guess.

Jakob Has Jumped the Shark
Yes, that is the bear from Jakob’s clearly spurious alternative text example and yes, that is The Fonz after jumping the shark. If you have been following the saga of Jakob Nielsen, there a few quotes I could use here: Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster (Nietzsche).…

My experience of Bogotš was as possibly the wettest city I've been in. (I live in Manchester.)
Now it suffers a water shortage.

Collaborative Aquatic Positioning system Utilising Multi-beam Sonar and Depth Sensors
Accurate positioning of underwater robots in confined environments is crucial for inspection and mapping tasks and is also a prerequisite for autonomous operations. Presently, there are no positioning systems available that are suited for real-world use in confined underwater environments, unconstrained by environmental lighting and water turbidity levels and have sufficient accuracy for reliable and repeatable navigation. This shortage presents a significant barrier to enhancing the capabiliti…
