Workspace Models: Lightweight Robotic Memory via Saliency-Driven Supervision
Complex robotic manipulation tasks frequently require a long-term memory of past events and actions. As conditioning on full histories renders policies prone to spurious correlations and degrades performance, many approaches to policy memory involve compressing historical information through expensive VLM queries in-the-loop to process only task-salient information. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach in which computationally intensive VLM queries are made during train-time to lear
Variable aperture is cool, but as a photographer, the reason I want an iPhone 18 Pro is this hidden anti-AI camera tool
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max don't just get more camera controls; there's a built-in tool for authenticating an image in an era of AI slop
Dynamic Generalized Gromov-Wasserstein Optimal Transport
Gromov--Wasserstein optimal transport (GW-OT) extends classical optimal transport by introducing structure-aware transport cost. This is particularly relevant for spatial transcriptomics, where dynamical reconstruction should preserve tissue structure in addition to matching expression patterns. While static formulations have been widely used for such structure-aware alignment, a general dynamic formulation for reconstructing continuous trajectories is still missing. We introduce Travelling Pair

Why the tool is not the solution to healthcare access
I have spent 26 years in healthcare. I have watched apps launch, algorithms deploy, platforms get funded, and payment models get reinvented, all in the name of fixing American healthcare. Yet, millions of Americans still cannot get a timely doctor’s appointment. Emergency rooms remain the default care setting for people with nowhere else to turn. Provider shortages are accelerating. The system is breaking under the weight of its own complexity. The problem is that we have confused the t

Google just built the infrastructure for agentic commerce
Industry players say agentic commerce is the next big revolution in retail. I’ve spent my career in payments infrastructure and watched the same pattern repeat with every new commerce technology. It gets built on rails that weren’t designed for it, and nobody notices until something breaks. Agentic commerce is next in line, and the rail about to break is payments. Almost everyone in this conversation ignores a problem sitting in every transaction: the payment glitch. That’s when a

Spacetime Dynamics of Altermagnetic Magnons
Distinguishing altermagnetism from conventional ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism typically relies on momentum-space probes. Here, we show that the real-space spreading of a localized spin excitation provides a distinctive dynamical fingerprint of altermagnetic order. Using linear spin-wave theory on a two-dimensional checkerboard lattice with nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor couplings J_1 and J_2, we demonstrate that finite J_2 produces direction-dependent magnon group velocities

How to lead through cognitive overload
Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, observed in a May 2026 New York Times podcast that the rate of change we’re living through is unlike anything humans evolved to process. And the data backs him up. In 2010, Eric Schmidt, Google’s former CEO, noted that humanity was generating as much information every two days as we had from the dawn of civilization through 2003. Based on IDC’s 2018 forecast that the global datasphere would reach 175 zettabytes by 2025, the world now generates roughly that same fi

Clint Eastwood has spent decades playing characters who often say little but leave a lasting impression. Away from the screen, however, the actor and filmmaker has spoken about a very different kind of strength, knowing when to listen.
High-end GPUs may be slowing China's AI compute expansion
China's wide gap in token costs stems largely from domestic companies' difficulty in accessing Nvidia high-end GPUs, forcing them to squeeze more value from each token to recoup costs. But supply-chain sources say the scale of China and US AI compute investment may actually be roughly comparable, de
Coding Agents with an Obstacle-Aware Harness for Safe Robot Manipulation
Coding agents have emerged as a promising paradigm for robot manipulation: a language model writes the robot controller as a program, and agents built in this way now operate robots without robot-specific training.Whether this paradigm is also safe, however, has not been asked. We evaluate coding agent under a safety constraint, where each task pairs a manipulation goal with an obstacle the robot must not touch. The agent pursues the goal but collides with the obstacle in most cases, treating ta
World's last known wild Chilean tree daisy gets a lifeline as conservationists use ropes to support its only survivor and two seedlings arrive at a Scottish garden
A rare tree daisy from Chile's Robinson Crusoe Island is receiving a new lifeline after two seedlings arrived at Logan Botanic Garden in south-west Scotland. Dendroseris neriifolia has been reduced to one known wild tree, which grows on a steep cliff and is supported by ropes to prevent it from fall

The axion mass in the post-inflationary scenario in a minimal scaling model
We calculate the dark matter axion mass in the post-inflationary scenario in a minimal model with a set of classical field theory simulations on $12\,288^3$ grids. In the model, the Peccei-Quinn U(1) symmetry is broken by a complex scalar field at a temperature $f_{\rm a} \sim 10^{11}$ GeV, creating a string network. The strings become the boundaries of domain walls at the QCD transition, which draw the strings together and annihilate them. The decay of the strings and domain walls leaves behind
T2 estimation from MOLLI acquisitions
Cardiac T1 and T2 quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that provides characterization of a multitude of myocardial pathologies. However, each parameter requires its own specialized acquisition sequence, which may be time-consuming. In this work, we demonstrate that MOLLI, an acquisition sequence commonly used to perform T1 mapping, is also sensitive to T2, and can also be used for myocardial T2 mapping. Although MOLLI is not designed for T2 mapping, its signal evolution i

Keurig has brewed up a new kind of coffee pod: First look at the plastic-free Alta brewing system
The history of in-home coffee making is a story in and of itself. Over the past century, home coffee brewing has evolved from simmering pots and boiled water to percolators and, in the 1970s, the automatic drip machine, which became a fixture of modern kitchens. But then the industry saw another shake-up with the introduction of single-serve coffee, which hit the mainstream when Keurig introduced its single-cup brewing system and K-Cups in 1998. Keurig and its machines have since become ub

Embedding Models Measure in Peculiar Ways
Embedding spaces define notions of semantic similarity and distance. We study whether those embeddings reflect physical measurements of mass, distance, time and volume, which admit a unique, objective notion of semantic equivalence and distance. We find that physical measurement is only weakly modeled in the embedding space, and that instead quite peculiar measurement patterns can be observed. Further analysis indicates that embedding representations of physical measurements are strongly influen

Turn your talent filter into a talent pipeline
Whenever I complain to my executive coach about a problem inside my organization, his go-to response is both irritating and insightful: “That’s your system.” I might be describing a missed target, a persistent challenge, or something that feels impossible to fix, but his point is always the same. The system is producing exactly what it was designed to produce. I need to stop looking for someone to blame and start looking at the design. My job is to get schools, employers, and governments w

A Gaussian process coarse-grained potential for Na-montmorillonite
Hydraulic transport in compacted bentonite is diffusion-controlled and governed by the hydration and microstructure of sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT). Experiments cannot resolve how platelet interactions govern pore structure, transport and stiffness, while existing coarse-grained models smooth hydration oscillations or require manual corrections. We develop a tabulated potential combining Morse interactions between platelet centre and edge sites with a Gaussian process regression correction tr
