Repair Before Veto, When Repair Is Hidden: Quantum-Accessible Features for Repair-Augmented Constraint Learning
Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hard-constraint decision systems usually veto infeasible candidates. This is too rigid when the system can act: if a known affordable repair would make an infeasible candidate feasible and valuable, rejection is a false veto rather than a ranking error. We introduce Q-RACL (Quantum Repair-Augmented Constraint Learning), a repair-before-veto framework that first defines RACL decision semantics and then identifies the single inference link where quantum feature...
Open Repair Data Standard – Open Repair Alliance
The Open Repair Data Standard (ORDS) defines a shared approach towards collecting and sharing repair data about small electricals and electronics. The goal of this standard is to make it easy to combine open data on electronics repair that has been collected by many different groups. Following a common standard helps us to identify trends and patterns globally, and also within countries and regions, by combining data from local community repair events.
Repair Before Veto: Repair-Augmented Constraint Learning for Contextual Decisions
arXiv:2606.02326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hard constraints are usually treated as terminal vetoes: once a candidate violates a requirement, the learned rule rejects it and any repair is handled outside the decision semantics. This misses a common deployed regime in which the system already knows a finite menu of modifications, such as adding a ticket option, changing a configuration, or requesting an available service upgrade. Existing constraint-learning, soft-relaxation, and recourse...
Evaluating LLMs' Effectiveness on Real-World Consumer Device Repair Questions
arXiv:2606.03331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Consumer device repair is an important but underexplored testbed for large language models (LLMs). Repair tasks require reasoning over incomplete problem descriptions, hardware-specific diagnostics, actionable troubleshooting, and safety-critical decisions, where incorrect advice can cause device damage, battery hazards, or permanent data loss. We introduce a benchmark of 991 real-world repair questions from Reddit spanning phone repair,...
Councils named and shamed over slapdash pothole repairs to stop road closures
Councils named and shamed over slapdash pothole repairs to stop road closures Road users have been left frustrated after waiting for roads under repair to be reopened only for them to be reclosed for repeated patch-up fixes of potholes Drivers will see their councils named and shamed if they carry out short-term repairs of potholes that mean streets are having to be repeatedly closed for maintenance. Road users have been left frustrated after waiting for roads under repair to be reopened...
Robust Repair of Reed-Solomon Codes
arXiv:2606.05573v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the problem of robust repair of a single erasure in Reed--Solomon codes under low communication bandwidth. Focusing on the Guruswami--Wootters trace repair framework, we investigate whether a failed node can be correctly repaired in the presence of erroneous responses from helper nodes. Equivalently, we view the collection of downloaded traces as a code, which we call the repair-trace code.
Broken speaker? Finicky zipper? Anticonsumerist Repair Cafes urge you to fix it instead of pitch it
Anticonsumerist Repair Cafes urge you to fix it instead of pitch it Repair Cafes are part of a new brand of anticonsumerism - Bookmark On a drizzly Saturday morning late last month, the basement of the New Paltz United Methodist Church filled with old lamps, blunt knives, malfunctioning sound mixers and balky zippers. About a dozen volunteers welcomed the broken goods and their owners to a worldwide movement that’s evangelizing new relationships between people and their things. Repair Cafes...
Repairing DNA damage: Scientists discover a surprising new benefit of melatonin
Repairing DNA damage: Scientists discover a surprising new benefit of melatonin A small clinical trial suggests melatonin supplements could help night shift workers repair DNA damage linked to working overnight. - Date: - May 30, 2026 - Source: - BMJ Group - Summary: - A new study suggests melatonin supplements may help night shift workers boost their body's DNA repair processes, potentially offsetting some of the damage linked to working overnight. The findings are early but raise the...
First human SMUG1 atomic snapshots reveal how cells repair DNA
First human SMUG1 atomic snapshots reveal how cells repair DNA Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Researchers have captured the first atomic structures of human SMUG1, an enzyme that helps cells repair damaged DNA. The findings provide new insight into how cells recognize and remove harmful DNA bases, and may support future efforts to develop drugs that target this DNA repair pathway. "These structures give us the first detailed view of how human SMUG1 engages...
CARVE-Q: Quantum-Proposed, Classically Certified Interactive Driving Repair
arXiv:2606.06531v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The critical question after a correct driving veto is not only whether a maneuver is unsafe, but whether the blocked interaction admits a lawful, auditable, and responsibility-bounded repair. Prediction and game-theoretic planners can suggest plausible cooperation, yet they do not return a proof that the repair respects hard rules, right-of-way, cost allocation, and ego fallback. We introduce CARVE, Certified Affordable Repair of Vetoed...
