This years #fusion industry association reports are out; 5 of the member companies expect to ''operate a commercially viable pilot plant' by 2030, another 35 expect to be able to do it by 2035, with slightly lower numbers for that being 'deliver power to the grid' - 'commercial viability' seems to skew a little later; but still, Fusion only being *10* years away is pro…

Un article sur les cigales, comment ça peut être intéressant ?
Cet entretien avec un cicadologue montre un point de vue très actuel sur notre place dans la société : l’humain face Š la biodiversité, la place de ce que l’on ne connaît pas, et… que les cigales s’accouplent par une synchronisation de leurs appels.
Plus sur :

Les cigales, des insectes faussement familiers
Saviez-vous que certaines espèces peuvent vivre plus de vingt ans, que certains mâles restent silencieux, que l’essentiel de la vie d’une cigale se passe sous terre ?

Lessons from the TREC Plain Language Adaptation of Biomedical Abstracts (PLABA) track
Objective: Recent advances in language models have shown potential to adapt professional-facing biomedical literature to plain language, making it accessible to patients and caregivers. However, their unpredictability, combined with the high potential for harm in this domain, means rigorous evaluation is necessary. Our goals with this track were to stimulate research and to provide high-quality evaluation of the most promising systems. Methods: We hosted the Plain Language Adaptation of Biome…

AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over
China is “set up to hit grand slams,” longtime Chinese energy expert David Fishman told Fortune. “The U.S., at best, can get on base.”

FaceAnonyMixer: Cancelable Faces via Identity Consistent Latent Space Mixing
Advancements in face recognition (FR) technologies have amplified privacy concerns, necessitating methods that protect identity while maintaining recognition utility. Existing face anonymization methods typically focus on obscuring identity but fail to meet the requirements of biometric template protection, including revocability, unlinkability, and irreversibility. We propose FaceAnonyMixer, a cancelable face generation framework that leverages the latent space of a pre-trained generative mode…

Random Unitaries in Constant (Quantum) Time
Random unitaries are a central object of study in quantum information, with applications to quantum computation, quantum many-body physics, and quantum cryptography. Recent work has constructed unitary designs and pseudorandom unitaries (PRUs) using $Θ(\log \log n)$-depth unitary circuits with two-qubit gates. In this work, we show that unitary designs and PRUs can be efficiently constructed in several well-studied models of $\textit{constant-time}$ quantum computation (i.e., the time comple…
