Test-Time Optimization of Physical Query Plans with LLMs
arXiv:2602.10387v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Traditional query optimization relies on cost-based optimizers that estimate execution cost (e.g., runtime, memory, and I/O) using predefined heuristics and statistical models. Improving these requires substantial engineering effort, yet they often cannot exploit semantic correlations in queries and schemas that could enable better physical plans. Large language models (LLMs), however, can reason about column semantics, value distributions,...
Fresh concerns emerge over impact of Labor's tax changes on medical tech
Medical technology sector raises fresh concerns with Labor’s capital gains tax overhaul Sat 6 Jun 2026 at 4:44am In short: Australia's medical technology sector says Labor's budget changes will make it harder for local startups to commercialise new products. Industry groups say planned changes to research and development tax incentives will specifically hurt the health sector where companies often take more than a decade to become profitable. What's next: Labor is pressing ahead with its...
A plan to preserve wetlands without stopping development
A plan to preserve wetlands without stopping development Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Balancing economic growth and environmental protection is not easy. Consider wetlands, which provide flood protection, aid water quality, and are linchpins of larger ecosystems. How can we best preserve wetlands while enhancing economic activity?
Amplified Arctic iceberg traffic reshapes benthic biodiversity
Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid warming, resulting in retreating sea ice and glaciers1, yet how cryospheric changes propagate into the deep ocean remains poorly understood2. Here we identify a climate-driven mechanism linking accelerating glacier disintegration to an increase in deep-sea hard-bottom habitats far beyond calving fronts. Seafloor observations in Fram Strait show a localized increase in the density and patchiness of dropstones delivered by debris-laden icebergs.
The Largest Undocumented Disparity in Maternal Health
For the past few years, George King, the director of research at Boston’s Joslin Diabetes Center, has been following a medical mystery that has flown under the public-health radar—even, he told me, among most other diabetes experts. He and his colleagues have been alarmed by the skyrocketing rates of gestational diabetes they’ve seen among Chinese American populations, which mirror a similar phenomenon in mainland China and Taiwan.For years, gestational diabetes has been ticking upward in...
Coastal communities at risk of effects of repeating cycles of inequality in marine energy transition
Coastal communities at risk of effects of repeating cycles of inequality in marine energy transition Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Although the clean energy transition offers major opportunities, a new report from University of Aberdeen researchers warns that current governance arrangements may leave coastal communities bearing the cost of energy transition while seeing limited long-term benefits. Drawing on more than 200 years of change across three coastal...
Trump administration launches federal investigation into Atlanta's MARTA system after fatal train stabbing
The Trump administration is launching a federal investigation into Atlanta’s troubled transit system after two recent stabbings, including the killing of a 66-year-old woman on a MARTA train. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the Federal Transit Administration will audit the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) over worker and rider safety, citing what officials described as alarming rates of violent incidents on the system. "I want ANSWERS from Atlanta.
PatchWorld: Gradient-Free Optimization of Executable World Models
arXiv:2605.30880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-agent environments are typically modeled as partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), assuming that the simulator's latent state and transition dynamics are hidden from the agent. Yet little work has examined whether executable code can be induced to serve as a world model for prediction and planning under partial observability. We introduce PatchWorld, a gradient-free framework that turns offline trajectories into...
Q&A: How approval processes drive up housing costs in major cities
Q&A: How approval processes drive up housing costs in major cities Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Austin Zwick, associate teaching professor in the College of Professional Studies and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, explains how cities can fix their planning systems to address housing crises. Housing in cities across North America has become increasingly unaffordable. Most people blame land scarcity, rising construction costs or speculative investors.
