Multiwavelength Observations of the Apparently Non-repeating FRB 20250316A
The physical origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains uncertain. Although multiwavelength observations offer critical diagnostics and have been widely conducted, only Galactic FRB~20200428D is associated with an X-ray burst from the magnetar SGR J1935+2154. Here, we present multiwavelength follow-up observations of the nearby bright FRB~20250316A, including the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), Einstein Probe (EP) X-ray mission, Chandra X-ray Observatory, Wide Fiel…

Hey liberals, I'll make you a deal. I'll vote, if you do something actually useful.
Fun fact, I've already voted in every election I've been eligible to vote in. So you're gonna organize to feed houseless folks in your area, protect trans folks, run ICE out of your neighborhood, film the police every time you see them....
No one ever voted fascists out of office, but we do know how to stop them. Make it impossible for them to govern. That's the trick. So maybe we can spend a little less time fighting straw men and a little more time being ungovernable.
Cool, glad we're on the same page.

ScaleCUA: Scaling Open-Source Computer Use Agents with Cross-Platform Data
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have enabled computer use agents (CUAs) that operate GUIs autonomously, showing great potential, yet progress is limited by the lack of large-scale, open-source computer use data and foundation models. In this work, we introduce ScaleCUA, a step toward scaling open-source CUAs. It offers a large-scale dataset spanning 6 operating systems and 3 task domains, built via a closed-loop pipeline uniting automated agents with human experts. Trained on this scaled-up data,…

Real-Time, Population-Based Reconstruction of 3D Bone Models via Very-Low-Dose Protocols
Patient-specific bone models are essential for designing surgical guides and preoperative planning, as they enable the visualization of intricate anatomical structures. However, traditional CT-based approaches for creating bone models are limited to preoperative use due to the low flexibility and high radiation exposure of CT and time-consuming manual delineation. Here, we introduce Semi-Supervised Reconstruction with Knowledge Distillation (SSR-KD), a fast and accurate AI framework to reconstr…

MCI: Multi-Channel Imager on the Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope
The Multi-Channel Imager (MCI) is a powerful near-ultraviolet (NUV) and visible imager onboard the Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope (CSST). The MCI provides three imaging channels, which are the NUV channel, the Optical-blue channel and the Optical-red channel, with the wavelength range of 255-430 nm, 430-700 nm, and 700-1000 nm, respectively. The three channels can target the same field simultaneously. Each channel employs a CCD focal plane of 9216 x 9232 pixels and $\sim$7.5 x 7.5 arcmi…

Chunks as Arms: Multi-Armed Bandit-Guided Sampling for Long-Context LLM Preference Optimization
Long-context modeling is critical for a wide range of real-world tasks, including long-context question answering, summarization, and complex reasoning tasks. Recent studies have explored fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) with synthetic data to enhance their long-context capabilities. However, the effectiveness of such approaches is often limited by the low diversity and factual inconsistencies in the generated data. To address these challenges, we propose LongMab-PO, a novel framework t…

The countable condensation on linear orders
The countable condensation on a linear order $L$ is the equivalence relation $\sim_ω$ defined by declaring $x \sim_ωy$ when the set of points between $x$ and $y$ is countable. We characterize the linear orders $L$ that condense to $1$ under the countable condensation by constructing a linear order $U$ that is universal for the order types $L$ such that $L/\!\!\sim_ω\, \cong 1$. We define a multiplication operation $\cdot_ω$ on the class of linear orders by setting $M \cdot_ωL$ to be the or…

A Game About Digging A Hole (PC/Mobile, XPd on PC) You spot an ad for a house that claims there's treasure buried in the back yard. After paying an oddly low price, it's time to get digging!
So this is a fairly short (there's even an achieve for beating it in a half hour) very simple game that's literally about digging a hole, lol. Very light sim game, you start out with a basic ass shovel and with some elbow grease and selling of ores you find, you can upgrade not only…
