Abstract: One-shot devices, such as automotive airbags, fire extinguishers and ammunitions, pose significant challenges in their reliability analysis due to their inherently unobservable lifespans.

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

According to @godofprompt, recursive prompting is an AI technique where system outputs are fed back in as inputs to refine solutions through multiple iterations (source: @godofprompt, Dec 16, 2025).

TikTok’s algorithm favors mental health content over many other topics, including politics, cats and Taylor Swift, according to a Washington Post analysis. At first, the mental health-related videos ...

The College Football Playoff selection committee on Sunday left Notre Dame out of the 12-team field. And the Irish are not happy about it. “My feelings and the feelings here are just shock and, really ...

Last week, I wrote about Olivia Nuzzi’s remarkably swift media rehabilitation, and the response surprised me. That column argued that modern media rewards spectacle over substance, but it also hinted ...

Anthony Cardozo discovered his passion for coding in high school, building small games for his friends. Later, he launched an online candy store that enabled him to reach customers far beyond his ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

You’re reading Infinite Scroll, Kyle Chayka’s weekly column on how technology shapes culture. When did having lots of followers lose its inherent appeal? It’s a post-pandemic phenomenon. During the ...

Recursive Agents implements a three-phase iterative refinement architecture where LLM agents (instances of Classes) critique and improve their own outputs. Unlike single-pass systems, each agent ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new method to estimate the parameters of both blocks, linear and nonlinear using an iterative and recursive subspace approaches. More importantly, in an attempt to show ...

As a journalist who covers AI, I hear from countless people who seem utterly convinced that ChatGPT, Claude, or some other chatbot has achieved “sentience.” Or “consciousness.” Or—my personal favorite ...
