arXiv:2603.25811v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: One of the biggest challenges of value-based decision-making is dealing with the subjective nature of values. The relative importance of a value for a particular decision varies between individuals, and people may also have different interpretations of what aligning with a value means in a given situation. While members of a society are likely to share a set of principles or values, their value systems–that is, how they interpret these values and the […]

arXiv:2604.18635v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In service to the mathematical underpinnings of the Information Integration Theory of Consciousness (IIT), we introduce four measures of integration based on the partial information decomposition framework. We compare our measures to current IIT practice in simple deterministic networks. We find synergy-based measures more suitable for IIT’s use-case than current practice. Outside IIT, these measures could also be useful as non-IIT-related measures of complexity within discrete dynamical systems.

arXiv:2604.16898v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many automated market makers can be understood through the geometry of their trading orbits, the sets of states reachable from one another through swaps. In prominent designs, this geometry is captured by a simple closed-form invariant such as the constant product $xy$ in Uniswap or a weighted geometric mean $x^w y^{1-w}$ in Balancer. This paper explains why these forms arise by deriving them from three basic assumptions: validity invariance (swaps preserve the validity […]

arXiv:2602.07153v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: End-to-end GUI agents for real desktop environments require large amounts of high-quality interaction data, yet collecting human demonstrations is expensive and existing synthetic pipelines often suffer from limited task diversity or noisy, goal-drifting trajectories. We present a trajectory expansion framework Anchor that bootstraps scalable desktop supervision from a small set of verified seed demonstrations. Starting from each seed, we identify branch points that correspond to meaningful state changes and propose new, state-grounded task […]

The transition to serverless architecture is not a buzzword to developers and software developers involved in developer work in macOS. It is a true revolution in the way apps are built, implemented, and scaled. Gone are the days of staring at terminal windows full of endless server logs and sleepless nights in order to keep the infrastructure from hiccuping. Serverless sets that mess with the work of someone. If you have been developing on macOS, then it is […]

On March 24, 2026, OpenAI announced that it would move its Instant Checkout feature to Apps, removing the ability for shoppers to purchase products directly in ChatGPT search results. While embedded in-app shopping experiences have become extremely popular in recent history, with origins in China’s live-streaming e-commerce ecosystem and rising in international popularity through platforms like TikTok Shop, this move by OpenAI highlights a deeper divide between how the U.S. and China are approaching artificial intelligence (AI) payments.  […]

arXiv:2602.05018v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Information and communication technologies account for a growing portion of global environmental impacts. While emerging technologies, such as emerging non-volatile memories (eNVM), offer a promising solution to energy efficient computing, their end-to-end footprint is not well understood. Understanding the environmental impact of hardware systems over their life cycle is the first step to realizing sustainable computing. This work conducts a detailed study of one example eNVM device: hafnium-zirconium-oxide (HZO)-based ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs). […]
