SpaceX says it has lost control of a Starlink satellite that’s now falling back to Earth after suffering an anomaly. The sudden loss of communications, drop in altitude, “venting of the propulsion tank,” and “release of a small number of trackable low relative velocity objects,” suggests the anomaly was some kind of explosion. SpaceX says it poses no threat to the crew of the ISS and will burn up in the atmosphere “within weeks.”Space-tracking company Leo Labs says whatever happened to Starlink 35956 was likely caused by an “internal energetic source,” not a collision. Its radar network detected “tens of…

Displace wants to make wall-mounting a TV feel less like a weekend project. Ahead of CES 2026, it announced Displace Hub, a wall mounting system the company says can turn “any TV” into a truly wireless, smart display you can put on the wall in under 10 seconds. The promise is a clean break from brackets, drilled holes, and the cable spaghetti that comes after. Displace says the Hub uses its active-loop suction to attach a TV to “any surface,” then relies on a built-in battery system so the screen can stay up without a visible power cord. It also…

While holiday food “takes the cake” this time of year, I have to give praise to holiday drinks as well. From warm mugs of mulled apple cider to a chilly spiked eggnog, there are so many seasonal beverages that I look forward to every winter. Not to mention, some of the season’s most delicious flavors are also the easiest to sip. So while prime rib, mashed potatoes, and dessert platters take up most of the conversation (and kitchen space) during the holidays, I’m going to make a toast to the beverages, instead. Recently, I was browsing the Walmart website looking…

[Submitted on 29 Jul 2025 (v1), last revised 17 Dec 2025 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled RL from Teacher-Model Refinement: Gradual Imitation Learning for Machine Translation, by Dongyub Jude Lee and 2 other authors View PDF Abstract:Preference-learning methods for machine translation (MT)–such as Direct Preference Optimization (DPO)–have achieved impressive gains but depend heavily on large, carefully curated triplet datasets and often struggle to generalize beyond their tuning domains. We propose Reinforcement Learning from Teacher-Model Refinement (RLfR), a novel framework that removes reliance on static triplets by leveraging continuous, high-quality feedback from an external teacher model…

Apple on Wednesday released an updated developer license agreement that gives the company permission to recoup unpaid funds, such as commissions or any other fees, by deducting them from in-app purchases it processes on developers’ behalf, among other methods. The change will impact developers in regions where local law allows them to link to external payment systems. In these cases, developers must report those payments back to Apple to pay the required commissions or fees. The changed agreement seemingly gives Apple a way to collect what it believes is the correct fee if the company determines a developer has underreported…

Key Takeaways Roasting Brussels sprouts results in crispy leaves and a deeply browned exterior.Honey mustard serves as a sweet, tangy glaze that caramelizes beautifully in the oven.You can easily replace honey mustard with a quick homemade mix of mustard and honey. Deeply roasted Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite side dishes. It’s a technique I’ve been experimenting with for years—trying different oven temperatures, playing around with seasonings, and so on. To me, the perfect Brussels sprout is charred on the outside, has some bite on the inside, and is coated in something super flavorful. Brussels sprouts are naturally a…
