MAHA Wants Action on Pesticides. It’s Not Going to Get It From Trump’s Corporate-Friendly EPA
The White House’s new Make America Healthy Again strategy makes some asks of the EPA—but critics say the agency is too industry-friendly to make a difference.
Hugging Face Releases FinePDFs: A 3-Trillion-Token Dataset Built from PDFs
Hugging Face has unveiled FinePDFs, the largest publicly available corpus built entirely from PDFs. The dataset spans 475 million documents in 1,733 languages, totaling roughly 3 trillion tokens. At 3.65 terabytes in size, FinePDFs introduces a new dimension to open…
The SSD version of LaCie’s iconic Rugged drive gets a speed boost
Neil Poulton succeeded in elevating the design of external drives two decades ago with the introduction of LaCie’s Rugged line, which features a bright orange bumper to protect data from drops. Today, Seagate announced an updated version of the LaCie…
Apple’s new iPhone charger is a first of its kind
Alongside its new iPhone 17 lineup, Apple casually launched a world’s first last week inside the very dull sounding “Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max.” It’s the first charger to support the USB PD 3.2 AVS protocol, giving…
Meta AI Released MobileLLM-R1: A Edge Reasoning Model with less than 1B Parameters and Achieves 2x–5x Performance Boost Over Other Fully Open-Source AI Models
Meta has released MobileLLM-R1, a family of lightweight edge reasoning models now available on Hugging Face. The release includes models ranging from 140M to 950M parameters, with a focus on efficient mathematical, coding, and scientific reasoning at sub-billion scale. Unlike…
Beyond the Black Box: Architecting Explainable AI for the Structured Logic of Law
The Epistemic Gap: Why Standard XAI Fails in Legal Reasoning The core problem is that AI explanations and legal justifications operate on different epistemic planes. AI provides technical traces of decision-making, while law demands structured, precedent-driven justification. Standard XAI techniques…
A Comprehensive Coding Guide to Building Interactive Experiment Dashboards with Hugging Face Trackio
In this tutorial, we walk through Hugging Face Trackio step by step, exploring how we can track experiments locally, cleanly, and intuitively. We start by installing Trackio in Google Colab, preparing a dataset, and setting up multiple training runs with…
Uncertainty Modeling in Graph Neural Networks via Stochastic Differential Equations
arXiv:2408.16115v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a novel Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) framework to address the problem of learning uncertainty-aware representations for graph-structured data. While Graph Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (GNODEs) have shown promise in learning node representations, they…
When and How Does CLIP Enable Domain and Compositional Generalization?
arXiv:2502.09507v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The remarkable generalization performance of contrastive vision-language models like CLIP is often attributed to the diversity of their training distributions. However, key questions remain unanswered: Can CLIP generalize to an entirely unseen domain when trained…
