ENFR: Evidence Networks with Flow-Matched References for Amortized Simulation-Based Model Inference
The evidence, $\mathcal{Z} = p(x | \mathcal{M})$, of a data-generating model $\mathcal{M}$ is a powerful tool in Bayesian frameworks: it enables model inference, model misspecification tests, and goodness-of-fit assessment as an alternative to standard discrepancy statistics, e.g. $χ^2$. While versatile, the evidence is notoriously difficult to compute, even when the likelihood is available. In both likelihood-based and simulation-based inference, estimating $\mathcal{Z}$ provides an immediate s
EEG Lempel-Ziv Complexity vis-à-vis Autocorrelation Function
Measures of signal complexity have become increasingly popular in electroencephalography (EEG), where they are often interpreted as indicators of neural information processing, dynamical richness, or conscious state. In contrast, classical measures of temporal dependence, such as the autocorrelation function (ACF), remain more directly linked to known physiological mechanisms and are easier to interpret. The present work revisits, for the EEG practicioner, the relation between normalized Lempel-

Nationwide meat recall underway as ‘temperature abuse’ impacts 1.5 million pounds of beef, pork, and chicken
A massive recall involving more than 1.5 million pounds of meat product was announced this weekend after the manufacturer discovered what the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) deemed to be possible “temperature abuse.” Here’s what that means, what meat products are affected, and what you should do if you have any of the recalled items. What’s happened? On Saturday, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service alerted the public about a vo

Review: Lanterns is a truly unique twist on the superhero genre
The trailers for HBO's DC Universe series Lanterns teased a show that eschewed the usual superhero hijinks in favor of a gritty realism more in the vein of True Detectives or Slow Horses. Personally, I liked the change. My verdict: Ignore the review bombing; it's wonderful. The season wrapped with an emotionally charged, almost elegaic finale that fully delivered on that initial promise. I've found the rebooted DC Universe films released thus far to be enjoyable but rather forgettable, even when the positives outweigh the negatives.

Companies waiting on AI will fall behind
I don’t believe that every company will survive the transition to artificial intelligence. Companies that learn how to use AI will move faster, make better decisions, and produce more with the same resources. Those that wait will create a gap with competitors so wide that it may become impossible to close. AI adoption is here. Are leaders ready to help their people start using it? The transition has been one of the hardest changes I’ve led at Geotab. Reshaping a company around a complet

Brands should lead with meaning instead of product details
Walk through New York City this fall and count the advertisements not selling artificial intelligence. Subway cars, bus shelters, billboards: Every surface pitches a model, an agent, a muse. And the images themselves are increasingly generated by AI rather than photographed. Every panel I have sat on this year has asked the same questions: How much AI should go into the work, and where? My brand consultancy firm, the bread and butter, spent months this year on a project where those questions

DIY VR: How to build your own headset, and why you probably won't want to
Virtual reality is in a bit of a weird place right now. After a lot of unfulfilled promise in the 1990s, it came back strong with the 2016 release of the Oculus Rift. For a while, it looked like VR, AR, XR, the metaverse, or whatever you wanted to call it, was going to be huge. Mark Zuckerberg was certainly convinced, and even Apple got in on the hype with its Vision Pro. But by then momentum for alternate realities of every acronym was already in steady decline, and it only dwindled from there.

Stratospheric airship flew from US to Japan to test sky cell tower concept
Nearly 100 years after the dirigible Graf Zeppelin made the first nonstop airship journey across the Pacific Ocean, another airship has successfully completed a round-trip flight from New Mexico to Japan and back. But the significance of this modern feat was less about the journey's length and more about its purpose: demonstrating how a lighter-than-air platform can act as a cell phone tower in the sky. The trans-Pacific flight that took place over a month between August and September 2026 was the most notable milestone yet for Sceye, a US aerospace company based near Albuquerque, New Mexico.
