Type-based vs. Value-based Reflection

Type-based vs Value-based Reflection Frequently, whenever the topic of Reflection comes up, I see a lot of complains specifically about the new syntax being added to support Reflection in C++26. I’ve always thought of that as being largely driven by unfamiliarity — this syntax is new, unfamiliar, and thus bad. I thought I’d take a different tactic in this post: let’s take a problem that can only be solved with Reflection and compare what the solution would look like between: the C++26 value-ba

Pentagon Has Been Pushing Americans to Believe in UFOs for Decades, New Report Finds

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-21 13:00:26

UFOs have been back in the news a lot lately, and it may be the case that the government wants it that way. Last week, the Wall Street Journal published the first of a two-part series that probes the ways in which the Defense Department has been responsible for creating and fostering the UFO mythology in America. The article shows that the government has, at various points over the years, purposefully sown disinformation about UFOs, in an effort to make Americans believe in little green men. Th

New Apple study challenges whether AI models truly “reason” through problems

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-21 13:56:47

In early June, Apple researchers released a study suggesting that simulated reasoning (SR) models, such as OpenAI's o1 and o3, DeepSeek-R1, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, produce outputs consistent with pattern-matching from training data when faced with novel problems requiring systematic thinking. The researchers found similar results to a recent study by the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) in April, showing that these same models achieved low scores on novel mathematic
