Studying the Near-horizon Jet of M87 using Millimeter Balloon-borne VLBI stations

In this paper we present synthetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of M87 between a near-future configuration of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and one or multiple 2.5 m-class balloon-borne VLBI stations on a northern transatlantic flight trajectory launching from Kiruna, Sweden. These balloon-...

Evaluating Agentic Capabilities Before Post-Training: An End-to-End Approach

Agentic capabilities are increasingly important for modern LLMs, yet remain difficult to evaluate during pretraining. Existing approaches typically rely on static trajectory-derived tasks or likelihood-based proxies, which are lightweight but provide limited visibility into how base models behave in interactive environ...

The Reciprocal tau-Cell: A Log-Domain Circuit for On-Chip Learning

Transistor-level SKY130 simulations show that the second run gives the gradient within 1.9%; that hardware linearisation permits large, noise-robust error signals; that a 13-cell network learns the Iris data set; and that learning in situ restores mismatched circuits on which software-trained weights fail, from 53-63%...

P2Patch: Exploit-Guided Vulnerability Repair

P2Patch is presented, a generative adversarial repair system that treats each patch as a new attack target and shows that adversarial testing and independent security oracles expose repair gaps that one-shot validation misses.

SWE-Stream: Scaling Executable Training Data for SWE Agents via Progressive Construction and Elastic Streaming

SWE-Stream is presented, a system for scaling executable SWE training data through progressive construction and elastic streaming execution, which progressively validates and refines task candidates, reusing existing artifacts when possible and applying targeted completion only when necessary.

vst-bench-ml: Auditable Dataset Generation for Audio Plugins

Generating datasets with audio plugins requires preserving how each audio observation was produced. vst-bench-ml is a Python package that samples plugin parameters, coordinates rendering through a separately installed host, and records software identities, rendering settings, and output hashes for later verification. A...

Phygas birth-cluster search: pulsar PSR J0931-1902

What this is. The complete, unfiltered result of the Phygas search for the pulsar PSR J0931-1902: for each of 4,085 young open clusters and moving groups (of 4,087 in the catalogue; the others were excluded by a distance prefilter) it records how close, how long ago and at what relative speed the pulsar and the cluster...

Requirements Don’t Live in Isolation: What We’re Exploring with Req-Space

Requirements in large systems rarely exist in isolation. Their meaning depends on the wider project context - other requirements, policies, decisions, tests, and implementation details. That becomes especially important when AI is used for review, because spotting a possible conflict or gap is only the beginning. ReqSpace explores how AI, visualisation, and connected project context can help reviewers understand those findings, trace the relationships behind them, and focus on the questions that…

Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering

AI is making software generation faster, but speed does not remove the need for expertise. As more work is delegated to AI, tacit knowledge may become one of the most important human advantages in software engineering. The post Beyond Prompt Engineering: The Role of Tacit Knowledge in Software Engineering appeared first on GPT-Lab.
