A program about retro gaming becomes an endurance test, because the sight of the poor SNES is almost unbearable for connoisseurs. The quote in the headline could also have come from our very own Nintendo guru Sören. However, the opinionated author calls himself emeraldbar77 and is active on Reddit. The reason for his displeasure is a shocking scene on British breakfast television. Shocking for all those who grew up with Nintendo consoles and are still very fond of them today. If you’re one of them: hold on tight, it’s going to hurt. It hurts just to look at it The…

As countries across the world experience a resurgence in nuclear energy projects, the questions of where and how to dispose of nuclear waste remain as politically fraught as ever. The United States, for instance, has indefinitely stalled its only long-term underground nuclear waste repository. Scientists are using both modeling and experimental methods to study the effects of underground nuclear waste disposal and ultimately, they hope, build public trust in the decision-making process.New research from scientists at MIT, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, and the University of Orléans makes progress in that direction. The study shows that simulations of underground nuclear waste…

President Donald Trump is a signature away from enacting a bill to regulate stablecoins that will dictate how issuers of the tokens must be regulated to serve the US market.The US House passed three crypto bills on Thursday, including the GENIUS Act, a backronym for “Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act.”The bill originated from the Senate, so it now only needs Trump’s signature to become law, which is expected to take place at 2:30 pm Friday in Washington, DC, during a “signing ceremony,” according to reporter Eleanor Terrett.The law will come into effect 18 months after Trump…

Vision-language models (VLMs) play a crucial role in today’s intelligent systems by enabling a detailed understanding of visual content. The complexity of multimodal intelligence tasks has grown, ranging from scientific problem-solving to the development of autonomous agents. Current demands on VLMs have far exceeded simple visual content perception, with increasing attention on advanced reasoning. While recent works show that long-form reasoning and scalable RL significantly enhance LLMs’ problem-solving abilities, current efforts mainly focus on specific domains to improve VLM reasoning. The open-source community currently lacks a multimodal reasoning model that outperforms traditional non-thinking models of comparable parameter scale across diverse…
