Researchers at Google Cloud and UCLA have proposed a new reinforcement learning framework that significantly improves the ability of language models to learn very challenging multi-step reasoning tasks. Supervised Reinforcement Learning (SRL) reformulates problem-solving as a sequence of logical “actions,” providing rich learning signals during the training process.This approach enables smaller models to learn complex problems that were previously out of reach for other common training techniques. Experiments show that SRL not only excels on math reasoning benchmarks but also generalizes effectively to agentic software engineering tasks.SRL is a versatile training framework that can elevate smaller and less expensive models…
Baron reiterated his unwavering belief in Musk’s companies. Ron Baron does not expect to sell my personal Tesla or SpaceX shares in my lifetime. 65% of his personal wealth is tied to Musk’s ventures (40% in Tesla, 25% in SpaceX, and the rest in related funds like xAI). Baron highlighted Baron Capital’s has made over $12 billion from investing in Musk’s ecosystem since 2014. $8 billion from Tesla from a $400 million investment in 2014–2016. $4 billion from SpaceX from 2017 and $400 million from other Musk ventures. Baron described Musk not as a traditional industrialist like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford,…

Complacency, rather than bad hardware, is the cause of several PC slowdowns. Your system can accumulate background services, telemetry data, and temporary files, causing performance to degrade quietly. Some of the common cleaners we use aren’t very effective, so I took the opposite route: using Linux tools to fix Windows. This is one of the habits I’ve carried over from years of using Linux. These cross-platform tools, born out of core Linux philosophy, are minimal, ruthlessly efficient, and transparent. Surprisingly, they worked better than I expected—giving me leaner performance and none of the bloat common in most Windows apps. BleachBit…
In its quest to beef up the feature set of its RCS-powered Messages application for Android, Google appears to now be beta testing a new @mentions texting function — at least for a small subset of software beta testers. Over on the r/GoogleMessages subreddit, a user by the name of aniruddhdodiya has shared screenshots of the feature in action on a Pixel 10, with a small tip appearing on-screen that reads “Try @ to get their attention,” followed by “They’ll see @mentions even if their notifications are muted.” In its current state in version 20251103_00_RC00 beta of Google Messages, the…
It was originally found in leaked code and publicized by AI influencers on X, but OpenAI has made it official: ChatGPT now offers Group Chats, allowing multiple users to join the same, single ChatGPT conversation and send messages to each other and the underlying large language model (LLM), online and via its mobile apps. Imagine adding ChatGPT as another member of your existing group chats, allowing you to text it as you would one of your friends or family members and have them respond as well, and you'll have an idea of the intriguing power and potential of this feature.However,…
Stars of all ages are on display in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the sparkling spiral galaxy called NGC 6000, located 102 million light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. NGC 6000 has a glowing yellow center and glittering blue outskirts. These colors reflect differences in the average ages, masses, and temperatures of the galaxy’s stars. At the heart of the galaxy, the stars tend to be older and smaller. Less massive stars are cooler than more massive stars, and somewhat counterintuitively, cooler stars are redder, while hotter stars are bluer. Farther out along NGC 6000’s spiral arms, brilliant…

TikTok announced on Thursday that it’s launching “bulletin board,” a new feature that lets brands and creators share public, one-to-many messages to their followers. Bulletin board is essentially TikTok’s own version of Instagram’s broadcast channels feature that launched in 2023. Just like with broadcast channels on Instagram, only the creator of a bulletin board can post messages, and followers are limited to leaving emoji reactions. Bulletin boards support text, image, and video posts. The feature is rolling out to creators who are at least 18 years old and have 50,000 followers. The idea behind the feature is to make it easy…
