A team of researchers from King’s College and Imperial College London have proposed a new way to calculate entropy production in active matter systems Bacteria use chemical energy, usually from ATP or ...

AI coding tools are rapidly changing how we produce software, and the industry is embracing it—perhaps at the expense of entry-level coding jobs. Generative AI’s ability to write software code has ...

Abstract: In this paper, a comparison between three lossless entropy coders, interpolative coding combined with FELICS, arithmetic coding, and ANS coding, in terms of grayscale image compression is ...

Lackawanna County property owners anxious about the impact of the county’s reassessment on their 2026 tax bills can begin calculating what that impact might be, at least in terms of their county taxes ...

Imagine you’re standing in front of a closed door. Behind it is a teenager’s bedroom, and your task is to rate how messy it is on a scale of 1 to 10. But here’s the twist: you can’t open the door – ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed a new reinforcement learning (RL) framework that helps train large language models (LLMs) for complex agentic tasks ...

Vibe coding enables one to program in plain English. However, it means speed over code review and rigor. Code quality may be inconsistent. Vibe coding has become the new must-do in technology shops.

Doher Drizzle Pablo was drowning in travel receipts. After her company transferred her to Sweden from the Philippines last year, she’d started visiting clients in at least two countries a month, and ...

A friend of mine almost didn't do a balance transfer because of the $300 fee. He was nervous about paying that much up front -- totally fair. But once he ran the numbers and saw he'd save over $1,400 ...
