Imagine a song that changes over time and that each time it becomes new again. Wreck-less is just such a song.

Low-income Americans slash spending, in a worrying sign for the economy
Consumers of all income levels scale back and hold out for discounts, leaving the economy on shaky ground.
But this shift is most pronounced among lower-income consumers,
who are disproportionately vulnerable to rising prices and other economic pressures eroding their purchasing power

“U.S. consumer spending is not just softening overall, it’s doing so in a fragmented way …
and that’s a re…

Low-income Americans slash spending, a bad sign for the economy
The U.S. economy faces challenges as consumer spending weakens, with lower-income Americans hit hardest by rising prices and economic pressures.

A Reliable Robot Motion Planner in Complex Real-world Environments via Action Imagination
Humans and animals can make real-time adjustments to movements by imagining their action outcomes to prevent unanticipated or even catastrophic motion failures in unknown unstructured environments. Action imagination, as a refined sensorimotor strategy, leverages perception-action loops to handle physical interaction-induced uncertainties in perception and system modeling within complex systems. Inspired by the action-awareness capability of animal intelligence, this study proposes an imaginati…

Incentives and Outcomes in Bug Bounties
Bug bounty programs have contributed significantly to security in technology firms in the last decade, but little is known about the role of reward incentives in producing useful outcomes. We analyze incentives and outcomes in Google's Vulnerability Rewards Program (VRP), one of the world's largest bug bounty programs. We analyze the responsiveness of the quality and quantity of bugs received to changes in payments, focusing on a change in Google's reward amounts posted in July, 2024, in which …

Det värsta med bildgeneratorer är att de behöver så mycket data att det finns ingen hos företagen som bygger dem som kan ha koll på var datan kommer från och vad som faktiskt finns porträtterat. Ingen kan egentligen ta ansvar.

Därför är jag särskilt besvärad av genererade bilder med barn, eftersom det sedan tidigare framkommit att stora dataset kan innehålla många bilder från övergrepp. Det är så stora mängder bilder så att det skulle ta tusentals år att kolla igenom dem - för mig är d…

Imagine2Act: Leveraging Object-Action Motion Consistency from Imagined Goals for Robotic Manipulation
Relational object rearrangement (ROR) tasks (e.g., insert flower to vase) require a robot to manipulate objects with precise semantic and geometric reasoning. Existing approaches either rely on pre-collected demonstrations that struggle to capture complex geometric constraints or generate goal-state observations to capture semantic and geometric knowledge, but fail to explicitly couple object transformation with action prediction, resulting in errors due to generative noise. To address these li…
