You didn’t become an educator to spend your Sunday nights fighting with bullet points and formatting margins. You did it for that specific moment—the “click”—when a student’s eyes light up because a complex concept finally makes sense. But somewhere between administrative burdens and the pressure to publish, that joy often gets buried under mountains of administrative friction. We spend 80% of our energy structuring content and only 20% delivering it with passion. This imbalance is the silent killer […]

Introduction It isn’t everyday that a company gets started based on one YouTube short. But I think that’s exactly what might happen to me after I watched this Alex Hormozi YouTube video and a while later, the idea clicked on September 1 2025. https://youtube.com/shorts/bn4N6z6MSIo?si=Qt2BbO-Q-ljehLsq&embedable=true The premise is simple: “The person asking the questions is the one closing (the deal)” – Alex Hormozi The thing was, I knew a little technical knowledge about Bitcoin. And I knew that there […]

Multi-view multi-label classification (MvMLC) is indispensable for modern web applications aggregating information from diverse sources. However, real-world web-scale settings are rife with missing views and continuously emerging classes, which pose significant obstacles to robust learning. Prevailing methods are ill-equipped for this reality, as they either lack adaptability to new classes or incur exponential parameter growth when handling all possible missing-view patterns, severely limiting their scalability in web environments. To systematically address this gap, we formally introduce a novel […]

Difficulty replicating baselines, high computational costs, and required domain expertise create persistent barriers to clinical AI research. To address these challenges, we introduce PyHealth 2.0, an enhanced clinical deep learning toolkit that enables predictive modeling in as few as 7 lines of code. PyHealth 2.0 offers three key contributions: (1) a comprehensive toolkit addressing reproducibility and compatibility challenges by unifying 15+ datasets, 20+ clinical tasks, 25+ models, 5+ interpretability methods, and uncertainty quantification including conformal prediction within a […]

Coverage Path Planning (CPP) is a fundamental capability for agricultural robots; however, existing solutions often overlook energy constraints, resulting in incomplete operations in large-scale or resource-limited environments. This paper proposes an energy-aware CPP framework grounded in Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) reinforcement learning, designed for grid-based environments with obstacles and charging stations. To enable robust and adaptive decision-making under energy limitations, the framework integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for spatial feature extraction and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for temporal […]

We study a structured bi-level optimization problem where the upper-level objective is a smooth function and the lower-level problem is policy optimization in a Markov decision process (MDP). The upper-level decision variable parameterizes the reward of the lower-level MDP, and the upper-level objective depends on the optimal induced policy. Existing methods for bi-level optimization and RL often require second-order information, impose strong regularization at the lower level, or inefficiently use samples through nested-loop procedures. In this work, we […]

Brain organization is increasingly characterized through multiple imaging modalities, most notably structural connectivity (SC) and functional connectivity (FC). Integrating these inherently distinct yet complementary data sources is essential for uncovering the cross-modal patterns that drive behavioral phenotypes. However, effective integration is hindered by the high dimensionality and non-linearity of connectome data, complex non-linear SC-FC coupling, and the challenge of disentangling shared information from modality-specific variations. To address these issues, we propose the Cross-Modal Joint-Individual Variational Network (CM-JIVNet), a […]

SSH has no Host header exe.dev is a new hosting service that, for $20/month, gives you up to 25 VMs “that share 2 CPUs and 8GB RAM”. Everything happens over SSH, including creating new VMs. Once configured you can sign into your exe.dev VMs like this: ssh simon.exe.dev Here’s the clever bit: when you run the above command exe.dev signs you into your VM of that name… but they don’t assign every VM its own IP address and […]
