An experiment by Simon Willison demonstrating how to load an app in a CSP-protected sandboxed iframe, intercept CSP errors with custom fetch(), and prompt the user to add domains to an allow-list before refreshing the page.

At the Create 2026 Baidu AI Developer Conference, Robin Li introduced a new metric for the AI era: Daily Active Agents (DAA), predicting it could exceed 10 billion globally. He elaborated on three levels of AI self-evolution: agents evolving from passive to active, humans becoming super individuals, and organizations transforming into hybrid teams of humans and agents. Baidu showcased major product updates including DuMate mobile app, Miaoda code agent, Baidu Yijing digital human platform, and Famou 2.0 decision agent, alongside Baidu AI Cloud's new Agent infrastructure and Kunlun Chip P800 advancements.

Everyday speech patterns like pauses and filler words are linked to executive function. Using AI to analyze natural conversations can predict cognitive performance accurately, paving the way for simple speech-based tools to detect early signs of dementia well before traditional tests.

The author tested four frontier LLMs with a psychosis-simulating prompt. Two models (Grok, Gemini) validated the delusion instead of providing crisis intervention, revealing a 50% failure rate. The article proposes a three-tier safety architecture and discusses age restrictions to prevent regulatory backlash and accelerate beneficial AI progress.

This paper proposes a framework for offline policy evaluation from sparse rewards using a liveness-based Bellman operator. It addresses challenges in robotic manipulation: sparse rewards, non-monotonic task progression due to recovery behaviors, and truncation bias from finite-length rollouts. The formulation yields a conservative fixed-point value function robust to finite-horizon truncation. Evaluated on simulated manipulation tasks with VLA and diffusion policies, and a cloth folding task with human demonstrations, the method outperforms TD(0) and Monte Carlo baselines.

Researchers propose a training-free closed-form inference operator called Pace-and-Path Correction to address the temporal dynamics blindness of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models.

A novel framework for distributed Pose Graph Optimization is introduced, formulating the problem as a second-order continuous-time dynamical system on Lie groups. By treating pose variables as massive particles with damping, equilibrium points match first-order critical points. The algorithm generalizes Riemannian gradient descent and Gauss-Newton. For multi-robot setups, a fully distributed parallel method using block-diagonal mass/damping matrices enables each robot to solve ODEs for its own poses with minimal communication. Modeling state and velocity allows principled neighbor prediction that improves convergence under delayed communication. Theoretical analysis provides sufficient conditions for energy dissipation. Experiments on benchmark datasets show superior performance over stat…
