Salvon Ahmed injury update: Hip-drop tackle in practice sidelines Colts RB for 2025 season, per report

I've heard unhoused folks say they don't want tents because it makes them a target. A lot more people sleeping rough with just a sleeping bag, blanket, or merely a piece of cardboard. And of course the much-sensationalized open-air drug use at 16th & Mission is partly a result of taking tents away. This is a sign of degradation and further cruelty, not success.

San Francisco homeless tent tally hits new low
The number of homeless tents on the streets of San Francisco has reached its lowest point since before the COVID-19 pandemic, data shows.

Metacognition and self-regulated learning in manipulative robotic problem-solving task
Metacognition is an important aspect in creative problem solving (CPS) and through this chapter we analyse the meta-reasoning aspects applied in the different processes of monitoring the progress of learners' reasoning and CPS activities. Meta-reasoning monitors the way that problem-solving processes advance and regulate time and efforts towards a solution. In the context of an ill-defined problem, exploration is required to develop a better-defined problem space and advance towards the solutio…

Meine Frage wurde von einem LLM so beantwortet:
"Es gibt tatsächlich Schlapfen (Hausschuhe) mit dem Motiv von Edvard Munchs berühmten Gemälde "Der Schrei". Diese sind oft als lustige oder ungewöhnliche Geschenkideen erhältlich und zeigen das ikonische Motiv des schreienden Gesichts auf den Hausschuhen. Sie können solche Schlapfen in verschiedenen Online-Shops oder auf Plattformen finden, die sich auf ungewöhnliche und kreative Geschenke spezialisiert haben."

A Quadratic Programming Algorithm with $O(n^3)$ Time Complexity
Solving linear systems and quadratic programming (QP) problems are both ubiquitous tasks in the engineering and computing fields. Direct methods for solving systems, such as Cholesky, LU, and QR factorizations, exhibit data-independent time complexity of $O(n^3)$. This raises a natural question: could there exist algorithms for solving QPs that also achieve \textit{data-independent} time complexity of $O(n^3)$? This raises a natural question: could there exist algorithms for solving QPs that al…

Attention Slipping: A Mechanistic Understanding of Jailbreak Attacks and Defenses in LLMs
As large language models (LLMs) become more integral to society and technology, ensuring their safety becomes essential. Jailbreak attacks exploit vulnerabilities to bypass safety guardrails, posing a significant threat. However, the mechanisms enabling these attacks are not well understood. In this paper, we reveal a universal phenomenon that occurs during jailbreak attacks: Attention Slipping. During this phenomenon, the model gradually reduces the attention it allocates to unsafe requests in…

Machine Learning for Polymer Chemical Resistance to Organic Solvents
Predicting the chemical resistance of polymers to organic solvents is a longstanding challenge in materials science, with significant implications for sustainable materials design and industrial applications. Here, we address the need for interpretable and generalizable frameworks to understand and predict polymer chemical resistance beyond conventional solubility models. We systematically analyze a large dataset of polymer solvent combinations using a data-driven approach. Our study reveals th…

Human-AI Schema Discovery and Application for Creative Problem Solving
Humans often rely on underlying structural patterns-schemas-to create, whether by writing stories, designing software, or composing music. Schemas help organize ideas and guide exploration, but they are often difficult to discover and apply, especially in complex or unfamiliar domains. My Ph.D. research develops a framework for human-AI schema discovery and application to support creative problem solving. I design systems that support users in sensemaking over examples to abstract schemas, and …

MultiObjectiveAlgorithms.jl: a Julia package for solving multi-objective optimization problems
We present MultiObjectiveAlgorithms.jl, an open-source Julia library for solving multi-objective optimization problems written in JuMP. MultiObjectiveAlgorithms.jl implements a number of different solution algorithms, which all rely on an iterative scalarization of the problem from a multi-objective optimization problem to a sequence of single-objective subproblems. As part of this work, we extended JuMP to support vector-valued objective functions. Because it is based on JuMP, MultiObjectiveAl…
