Your boss calls you after-hours with urgency. He needs the login credentials for a company account. You give it to him. The next day at work, the company is in crisis mode. That wasn’t your boss calling you. It was a deepfake generated automatically and in seconds. Once the realm of science fiction, this type of attack is the reality today in the age of AI. The Rising AI Threat to Mac Users AI makes sophisticated attacks easier […]
Byline: Daniel Fusch A free Virtual Private Network (VPN) can help you browse the internet more securely, but it’s important to vet the app you’re using to make sure it fits your needs and provides the level of security you require. Amid concerns over privacy and cybersecurity when using public Wi-Fi, more people are using a free Virtual Private Network (VPN) to surf the Web anonymously. Every month, about 46 million people use a VPN in the US. […]
In this tutorial, we explore the TuringEnterprises/Open-MM-RL dataset as a practical foundation for multimodal reasoning and reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. We load the dataset, inspect its schema, analyze domains, formats, question lengths, answer types, and image distributions, and visualize representative examples from each domain. We also build a lightweight reward function that checks exact, numeric, fractional, LaTeX, and symbolic answers, giving us a useful way to evaluate model outputs. Finally, we format prompts for vision-language models, optionally […]
Dubai, UAE | May 2026 – The agent economy is reshaping financial markets. Open-source agent frameworks are accelerating autonomous financial activity, with AI agents increasingly executing trades, managing portfolios, and interacting directly with exchanges. Yet the financial infrastructure supporting this shift has not evolved at the same pace. CoinQuant, the AI-powered no-code trading platform that has attracted over 15,000 users since launch, today announces its expansion into a unified trading intelligence architecture built for both human traders and […]

Hay pocas historias más irónicas que la de una industria nacida para reinventar el dinero que ahora empieza a preocuparse por otra tecnología nacida, también, para reinventarlo todo: la computación cuántica. Una prometía acabar con los intermediarios, con la inflación arbitraria, con la captura del sistema financiero por bancos centrales y gobiernos. La otra lleva décadas prometiendo resolver problemas imposibles para la computación clásica. Y las dos comparten algo muy característico de nuestra época: han sido extraordinariamente eficaces […]
arXiv:2605.24364v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multicalibration extends classical calibration by requiring predictions to be unbiased over a rich collection of functions, encompassing both prediction slices and subpopulations. It has emerged as a powerful framework for fairness, robustness, and reliable prediction, yet the theoretical understanding of multicalibration boosting (MCBoost) remains fragmented and often relies on restrictive assumptions. In this work, we develop a unified and refined perspective on MCBoost that subsumes existing variants, including multiaccuracy, BatchGCP, and BatchMVP. We […]
arXiv:2605.24244v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-dimensional embeddings are widely used as visual summaries of high-dimensional data and to enable downstream scientific discoveries. Yet, popular nonlinear dimension reduction methods, such as t-SNE and UMAP, are often selected based on visual appeal alone and without rigorous quantitative validation. A major reason is that manifold embeddings typically do not provide an out-of-sample map nor an inverse back to the original feature space; this makes held-out validation, the gold standard in supervised […]
arXiv:2605.24136v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the problem of identifying dynamically distinct basins of attraction in high dimensional time-homogeneous Markov processes using only trajectory sampling. This problem is fundamental in the analysis of metastable dynamical systems, where the process rapidly mixes within basins while transitions between basins occur rarely on the timescale of interest, or even when the state space is reducible. Existing approaches typically rely on spatial discretization or spectral analysis of estimated transition operators, which […]
