Hallucination is not a Bug. It is a Theorem. Here is the 5th-Grade Math That Proves It.
I will show you — with actual numbers, actual matrices, computed by hand — why every AI must hallucinate. Not sometimes. Always. The proof… Continue reading on Towards AI »

AirAsia X hikes ticket prices by 40%, cut capacity by 10% as Iran war hits fuel costs
Southeast Asia’s largest low-cost carrier AirAsia X said on Monday it was raising ticket prices by as much as 40 per cent and cutting routes to cushion the impact of the war on Iran, but stressed demand for flights remained high. The Malaysia-based no-frills airline said about 10 per cent of its overall flights had been cut so far. It has raised fuel surcharges by about 20 per cent, while fare prices have increased between 31 per cent and 40 per cent. Average jet fuel costs have soared to about...

Engineering Algorithms for Dynamic Greedy Set Cover
arXiv:2604.03152v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the dynamic set cover problem, the input is a dynamic universe of elements and a fixed collection of sets. As elements are inserted or deleted, the goal is to efficiently maintain an approximate minimum set cover. While the past decade has seen significant theoretical breakthroughs for this problem, a notable gap remains between theoretical design and practical performance, as no comprehensive experimental study currently exists to validate these results. In this paper, we bridge this gap by implementing and evaluating four greedy-based dynamic algorithms across a diverse range of real-world instances. We derive our implementations from state-of-the-art frameworks (such as GKKP, STOC 2017; SU, STOC 2023; SUZ, FOCS 2024), which we simplify

Online Drone Coverage of Targets on a Line
arXiv:2604.02491v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a problem of online targets coverage by a drone or a sensor that is equipped with a camera or an antenna of fixed half-angle of view $\alpha$. The targets to be monitored appear at arbitrary positions on a line barrier in an online manner. When a new target appears, the drone has to move to a location that covers the newly arrived target, as well as already existing targets. The objective is to design a coverage algorithm that optimizes the total length of the drone's trajectory. Our results are reported in terms of an algorithm's competitive ratio, i.e., the worst-case ratio (over all inputs) of its cost to that of an optimal offline algorithm. In terms of upper bounds, we present three online algorithms and prove bounds on their co
