SG-OPD: Sign-Gated On-Policy Distillation via Sign-Consistency Gating and Phased Teacher Sampling
new Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own trajectories with dense per-token supervision from a stronger teacher, and often outperforms off-policy distillation and standard reinforcement learning. However, we find that its effectiveness implicitly relies on two assumptions that frequently break in practice: trajectory-level alignment between the student and the teacher, and uniform token-level reliability of the teacher's preferences. We therefore propose...
Bill Gates faces questioning in US Congress over Epstein ties
Bill Gates faces questioning in US Congress over Epstein ties WASHINGTON: Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was set to face questioning on Wednesday (Jun 10) from United States lawmakers over his relationship with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, whose network of wealthy and powerful associates has fueled years of scrutiny and conspiracy theories. Gates, one of the world's richest men and a leading philanthropist, was due to appear before the House Oversight Committee for a transcribed...
Melinda Gates donates $215 mn for women’s health, dares others billionaires to follow
Melinda French Gates has a lifetime giving of $52.6 billion (Forbes data as on February 2026). The American philanthropist and Bill Gates’ ex-wife has donated mostly to nonprofits focused on global health and development, particularly initiatives supporting women and girls. In a latest, French Gates has announced $215 million additional funding to Washington–based Pivotal Philanthropies to focus on women’s reproductive and midlife health.
Dendrograms of Mixing Measures for Softmax-Gated Gaussian Mixture of Experts: Consistency Without Model Sweeps
Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a unified statistical framework for softmax-gated Gaussian mixture of experts (SGMoE) that addresses three long-standing obstacles in parameter estimation and model selection: (i) non-identifiability of gating parameters up to common translations, (ii) intrinsic gate-expert interactions that induce coupled differential relations in the likelihood, and (iii) the tight numerator-denominator coupling in the softmax-induced conditional density....
Bill Gates spent $80 mn on French Riviera's most exclusive yacht berths
Bill Gates spent roughly $80 million securing two of the most exclusive superyacht berths on the French Riviera for a futuristic hydrogen-powered yacht project that was meant to redefine luxury sailing. The berths at Port Vauban's famed Billionaires' Quay were custom-configured to accommodate Breakthrough, the world's first hydrogen-powered superyacht, and its support vessel Wayfinder. Yet despite the enormous investment and years of planning, Gates reportedly never stepped aboard the...
High-fidelity neutral atom gates leveraging low-rank Hessian optimization
arXiv:2606.05060v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum optimal control can produce fast and robust multi-qubit gates, but experimentally calibrating the resulting high-dimensional waveforms remains challenging because direct searches over large parameter spaces converge slowly. Building on the low-rank structure of quantum-control landscapes, we develop and benchmark a Hessian-based calibration method for optimal-control gates. The method identifies the few waveform directions that affect...
CYGNET: Cypher Gate for Neural Execution Triage and Cost Containment
new Abstract: Language models acting as agents over knowledge graphs generate Cypher queries that fail structurally (crashing at the database) or semantically (executing but returning wrong results). We place a pre-execution gate between query generation and a production Neo4j database. The gate validates structure through a four-backend chain culminating in execution against a mirror graph at 5.6 ms median latency.
AlN Gate Interlayer for UWBG AlGaN Transistors with Breakdown Field >6.9 MV/cm and PFOM >1.8 GW/cm2
arXiv:2606.02954v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We report the demonstration of regrown epitaxial AlN gate interlayers with ultra-wide bandgap ( UWBG) AlGaN polarization-graded field effect transistors (PolFETs). The introduction of the epitaxial AlN gate interlayer enables significant improvement in breakdown strength, with average breakdown field exceeding 6.94 MV/cm, which represents state-of-the-art for lateral field effect transistors, while maintaining excellent on-state current density...
Apple announces macOS Golden Gate 27
Apple has announced macOS 27 Golden Gate, the next version of its desktop operating system. Alongside updates to Apple Intelligence, search, and parental controls, the new Golden Gate version of macOS brings a global slider to adjust the opacity of Liquid Glass UI effects, with a tighter corner radius of windows to give them a more unified look. And Apple is "reincorporating" previous elements of macOS design, like giving sidebar icons their color back.
They Shut the Golden Gate Bridge for 4 Hours. Now They Face Up to 15 Years in Prison.
Pedestrians and bicyclists waited outside the pedestrian gate on the south side of the Golden Gate Bridge when the bridge was closed because of protesters in 2024.
