Google is pushing AI Mode within Google Discover, with options to summarize, follow-up and dive deeper after you start reading a story from within the Google Discover feed. This is just one more avenue where Google is pushing its users into AI Mode. To clarify, I am told this is not just Google Discover, but the Google App on Android, for any webpage you are looking at. How it works. After you click into an article from the Google Discover feed, when you click on the three dots at the top right, there are options for: Summarize with Al Mode…

I first encountered the Legion Go S at CES 2025 and finally reviewed the handheld about seven months later, in July. While the Windows 11 version of the Legion Go S didn’t impress me too much,…

[Submitted on 22 May 2025 (v1), last revised 4 Dec 2025 (this version, v3)] View a PDF of the paper titled Sequential Monte Carlo for Policy Optimization in Continuous POMDPs, by Hany Abdulsamad and 2 other authors View PDF Abstract:Optimal decision-making under partial observability requires agents to balance reducing uncertainty (exploration) against pursuing immediate objectives (exploitation). In this paper, we introduce a novel policy optimization framework for continuous partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) that explicitly addresses this challenge. Our method casts policy learning as probabilistic inference in a non-Markovian Feynman–Kac model that inherently captures the value of information gathering…

It’s worth combing through your house for several common categories of items that most people keep for far too long and don’t need. Doing so provides more space for items you actually want, and gives those old items a second life with someone else. Ancient tech you’ll never use again That iPhone…
it’s possible to fully master every topic in data science? With data science covering such a broad range of areas — statistics, programming, optimization, experimental design, data storytelling, generative AI, to name a few — I personally don’t think so. Here’s a narrower question. Is it possible to fully master a single topic within data science? Sure, you can become an expert in some areas, but can you ever reach a point where there’s nothing left to learn? Again, I really don’t think so. Every data scientist has something to learn, even those with extensive experience. The aim of my…
