What is the LinkedIn algorithm?The LinkedIn algorithm decides which posts appear in a user’s feed by ranking them for relevance, expertise, clarity, and engagement quality.In simple terms, the algorithm sorts through hundreds of millions of posts shared every week and tries to match each post with the people who will find it most professionally useful. This is very different from consumer platforms where entertainment value or virality drives distribution.On LinkedIn, the algorithm favors expert insight, industry relevance, and meaningful conversations that help members grow in their careers, industries, and businesses. In fact, 76% of marketers post their thought leadership content…
[Submitted on 26 Aug 2025 (v1), last revised 10 Dec 2025 (this version, v4)] View a PDF of the paper titled Grounding the Ungrounded: A Spectral-Graph Framework for Quantifying Hallucinations in Multimodal LLMs, by Supratik Sarkar and 1 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Hallucinations in LLMs–especially in multimodal settings–undermine reliability. We present a rigorous information-geometric framework, grounded in diffusion dynamics, to quantify hallucinations in MLLMs where model outputs are embedded via spectral decompositions of multimodal graph Laplacians, and their gaps to a truth manifold define a semantic distortion metric. We derive Courant-Fischer bounds on a temperature-dependent hallucination profile and…
The latest experiment emerging out of Google Labs is Disco, which is the company’s AI-driven approach to web browsing. The first feature for Disco is called GenTabs, built on Google’s Gemini 3 model.GenTabs are interactive widgets created from a mix of user prompts, open tabs and chat history. The preview examples demonstrate how GenTabs can create a model to demonstrate entropy as a study aid, or collect trip ideas into one screen for building an itinerary. The GenTab can be further refined with natural language requests, and it will also offer contextual suggestions for additions that may be helpful. Google’s…
It’s easy to miss a heart attack or confuse it with other health episodes if you don’t know the lesser-known signs. A heart attack is when the blood flow to the heart is blocked, limiting its supply of oxygen. Heart attacks are medical emergencies that can lead to serious issues and death if ignored. This is why it’s important to know the signs to look out for and address them right away. A recent Reddit thread shows that the signs of a heart attack can include cold hands, seizures, vomiting and more. Recognizing the signs early increases the chances of surviving…
Key Takeaways Martha Stewart’s Chewy Chocolate-Gingerbread Cookies deliver a decadent mash-up of rich chocolate chunks and warm gingerbread spice — chewy, complex, and utterly indulgent. By weight, about half the cookie is chocolate — each bite can feel like a fudgy chocolate-gingerbread truffle. Has anyone ever asked you what your favorite movie, band, or author is and you come up short for a definitive answer? That’s not a problem when someone inquires what my favorite cookie recipe is. Not that anyone has ever asked, but when they do, I’m prepared! The best cookie recipe in all of time and space…
Google has released the December 2025 core update, the company confirmed through its Search Status Dashboard. The rollout began at 9:25 a.m. Pacific Time on December 11, 2025. This marks Google’s third core update of 2025, following the March and June core updates earlier this year. What’s New Google lists the update as an “incident affecting ranking” on its status dashboard. The company states the rollout “may take up to three weeks to complete.” Core updates are broad changes to Google’s ranking systems designed to improve search results overall. Unlike specific updates targeting spam or particular ranking factors, core updates…
Regression, finally! For Day 11, I waited many days to present this model. It marks the beginning of a new journey in this “Advent Calendar“. Until now, we mostly looked at models based on distances, neighbors, or local density. As you may know, for tabular data, decision trees, especially ensembles of decision trees, are very performant. But starting today, we switch to another point of view: the weighted approach. Linear Regression is our first step into this world.It looks simple, but it introduces the core ingredients of modern ML: loss functions, gradients, optimization, scaling, collinearity, and interpretation of coefficients. Now,…

Best gaming consoles and VR For popular exclusive games like Astro Bot, the PS5 is the way to go (although many of these games eventually make it to PCs much later on). The PS5’s big advantage is its modernized, redesigned controller, which gives better haptic feedback. The PS Plus subscription service offers a big, Netflix-like catalog of monthly games, although mostly older ones. The model without a DVD drive (aka the Digital Edition) costs $50 less than the model that includes one; if your recipient wants to play older games or just likes physical copies, they can always attach a drive…
Sensors are one of the most underrated parts of a great smart home. You can use them to measure temperature, humidity, presence, and so much more. But what if you didn’t have to buy anything? I used an old Samsung Galaxy phone as a sensor, and it’s surprisingly easy. What is Galaxy Upcycle? I used an official Samsung app called Galaxy Upcycle to achieve this. It’s built into the SmartThings platform, but it only works with Samsung phones. Essentially, you opt in to the service through the SmartThings app on your primary phone, then download Galaxy Upcycle on the old…
