Iranian Leadership Reportedly Struggling To Make Coordinated Decisions Due To Ongoing War
The Iranian leaders who have so far survived the war with the U.S. and Israel are struggling to make coordinated decisions as the conflict continues, according to a new report.
The Iranian leaders who have so far survived the war with the U.S. and Israel are struggling to make coordinated decisions as the conflict continues, according to a new report.
The New York Times detailed that officials are not having phone calls or meeting in person due to concerns about being tracked and killed. It added that while the government continues to function, its ability to do so has been weakened, potentially hampering the possibility of engaging in conversations with the U.S.
In fact, negotiators may not know what they can concede in such negotiations, or who to ask about them.
President Donald Trump said the U.S. is having conversations with Iranian officials, but has also threatened to escalate if a deal is not reached soon.
Reports are offering conflicting accounts about whether Trump is leaning towards escalating or ending the war. The Wall Street Journal reported during the weekend that the president is considering an operation to seize some 1,000 pounds of enriched uranium in Iran, which would require sending ground troops to the country for days or longer.
The outlet claimed that Trump has not made a final decision on the matter but remains generally open to the idea because he seeks to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
In contrast, the same outlet claimed that Trump has told aides he is willing to end the military campaign without ensuring that the Strait of Hormuz, the key waterway through which about 20% of the world's energy goes through, is reopened. This is because such an operation would mean that the war would extend beyond the original timeline given by Trump for the duration of the conflict, which is between four and six weeks.
It went on to say that Trump decided that the U.S. should achieve its main goals: destroying Iran's navy and missile stocks to wind down operations and move on to pursue diplomacy.

Generative AI Use in Professional Graduate Thesis Writing: Adoption, Perceived Outcomes, and the Role of a Research-Specialized Agent
arXiv:2604.02792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper reports a survey of generative AI use among 83 MBA thesis students in Japan (target population 230; 36.1% response rate), conducted after thesis examiner evaluation. AI use was nearly universal: 95.2% reported at least some use and 77.1% heavy use. Students engaged AI across the full research-writing workflow - literature review, drafting, and consultation when stuck - reporting benefits centered on clearer argument and structure (82.3%), better revision quality (73.4%), and faster writing (70.9%), with a mean perceived quality improvement of 6.27 out of 7. Concerns about output accuracy (75.9%) and citation handling persisted alongside these gains. Among respondents who rated GAMER PAT, a research-specialized agent, against othe
Help Converts Newcomers, Not Veterans: Generalized Reciprocity and Platform Engagement on Stack Overflow
arXiv:2604.03209v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generalized reciprocity -- the tendency to help others after receiving help oneself -- is widely theorized as a mechanism sustaining cooperation on online knowledge-sharing platforms. Yet robust empirical evidence from field settings remains surprisingly scarce. Prior studies relying on survey self-reports struggle to distinguish reciprocity from other prosocial motives, while observational designs confound reciprocity with baseline user activity, producing upward-biased estimates. We address these empirical challenges by developing a matched difference-in-differences survival analysis that leverages the temporal structure of help-seeking and help-giving on Stack Overflow. Using Cox proportional hazards models on over 21 million questions,
From Industry Claims to Empirical Reality: An Empirical Study of Code Review Agents in Pull Requests
arXiv:2604.03196v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous coding agents are generating code at an unprecedented scale, with OpenAI Codex alone creating over 400,000 pull requests (PRs) in two months. As agentic PR volumes increase, code review agents (CRAs) have become routine gatekeepers in development workflows. Industry reports claim that CRAs can manage 80% of PRs in open source repositories without human involvement. As a result, understanding the effectiveness of CRA reviews is crucial for maintaining developmental workflows and preventing wasted effort on abandoned pull requests. However, empirical evidence on how CRA feedback quality affects PR outcomes remains limited. The goal of this paper is to help researchers and practitioners understand when and how CRAs influence PR merge

From Gaussian Fading to Gilbert-Elliott: Bridging Physical and Link-Layer Channel Models in Closed Form
arXiv:2604.03160v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic fading channels are modeled at two fundamentally different levels of abstraction. At the physical layer, the standard representation is a correlated Gaussian process, such as the dB-domain signal power in log-normal shadow fading. At the link layer, the dominant abstraction is the Gilbert-Elliott (GE) two-state Markov chain, which compresses the channel into a binary ``decodable or not'' sequence with temporal memory. Both models are ubiquitous, yet practitioners who need GE parameters from an underlying Gaussian fading model must typically simulate the mapping or invoke continuous-time level-crossing approximations that do not yield discrete-slot transition probabilities in closed form. This paper provides an exact, closed-form bri
