Detecting Land with Reflected Light Spectroscopy to Rule Out Waterworld O2 Biosignature False Positives
The search for life outside our solar system is at the forefront of modern astronomy, and telescopes such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) are being designed to identify biosignatures. Molecular oxygen, O2, is considered a promising indication of life, yet substantial abiotic O2 may accumulate from H2O photolysis and hydrogen escape on a lifeless, fully (100%) ocean-covered terrestrial planet when surface O2 sinks are suppressed. This so-called waterworld false positive scenario could …

Beyond Interactions: Node-Level Graph Generation for Knowledge-Free Augmentation in Recommender Systems
Recent advances in recommender systems rely on external resources such as knowledge graphs or large language models to enhance recommendations, which limit applicability in real-world settings due to data dependency and computational overhead. Although knowledge-free models are able to bolster recommendations by direct edge operations as well, the absence of augmentation primitives drives them to fall short in bridging semantic and structural gaps as high-quality paradigm substitutes. Unlike ex…

Irony. The "land of the free" has driven out a worldwide meeting of #humanists. So much for #religiousfreedom.

How #Vietnam bets on serving the #Trump organization. Despicable, including land evictions—not particularly a thing the Vietnamese people fancy.
