Throughout my life I never paid too much attention to health, exercise, diet or nutrition. I knew that you’re supposed to get some exercise and eat vegetables or something, but it stopped at that (“mom said”-) level of abstraction. I also knew that I can probably get away with some ignorance while I am young, but at some point I was messing with my health-adjusted life expectancy. So about halfway through 2019 I resolved to spend some time […]
arXiv:2601.05401v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As an emergent process, creativity relies on explorations via sampling and prototyping for problem construction. These activities compile knowledge, provide a context enveloping the solution, and answer questions. With Generative AI, practitioners can go beyond sampling existing media towards instantly generating and remixing new ones. We refer to this convergence as ‘protosampling’. Using existing literature we ground a definition for protosampling and operationalize it through Atelier, a canvas-like system that leverages a variety […]
I’m delighted to be investing more in Helion. Helion is by far the most promising approach to fusion I’ve seen. David and Chris are two of the most impressive founders and builders (in the sense of building fusion machines, in addition to building companies!) I have ever met, and they have done something remarkable. When I first invested in them back in 2014, I was struck by the thoughtfulness of their plans about the scientific approach, the system […]
CES 2026 has become the center stage for some of the unique and bold product announcements, including AI wearable devices, from some popular companies and startups that we barely heard of last year. Talking of popular companies, Motorola has showcased its latest prototype that suggests the company isn’t just thinking about smartphones or laptops anymore; it seems ready to penetrate a new product category. Motorola’s minimalist wearable AI device looks like a pendant, packs a camera, but skips […]
arXiv:2601.00122v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we prove that the permutation group of a Reed-Solomon code is given by the polynomials of degree one that leave the set of evaluation points invariant. Our results provide a straightforward proof of the well-known cases of the permutation group of the Reed-Solomon code when the set of evaluation points is the whole finite field or the multiplicative group.
Introduction This article will discuss compression in the Big Data context, covering the types and methods of compression. I will also highlight why and when each type and method should be used. Diving in What is compression? According to the general English definition of compression, it refers to reducing something to occupy a smaller space. In Computer Science, compression is the process of reducing data to a smaller size. Data, in this case, could be represented in text, […]
In what could be interpreted as a warning of what lies ahead, AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio is warning that AI is showing signs of consciousness or “self-preservation” and humans might need to pull the plug at some point. AI continues to rapidly evolve, moving beyond simple automation into more autonomous systems capable of complex, multi-step tasks. This incredible progress promises immense productivity gains, but it has amplified a wide range of concerns including economic disruption and longer-term societal, […]
arXiv:2601.02454v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Software testing has progressed toward intelligent automation, yet current AI-based test generators still suffer from static, single-shot outputs that frequently produce invalid, redundant, or non-executable tests due to the lack of execution aware feedback. This paper introduces an agentic multi-model testing framework a closed-loop, self-correcting system in which a Test Generation Agent, an Execution and Analysis Agent, and a Review and Optimization Agent collaboratively generate, execute, analyze, and refine tests until convergence. By […]
In modern healthcare and medicine, the quest for novel treatments and therapies is a perpetual challenge. Groundbreaking solutions can be discovered not only through innovation but also by uncovering hidden relationships within existing data. This is what Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) do. This cutting-edge fusion of graph theory and deep learning can transform drug repurposing—the process of finding new medical uses for already existing drugs. Imagine if we could reposition existing drugs to combat diseases they were never […]
