Last week, Apple released its latest iPhone update: iOS 18.6.2. And now a little over one week later, the company has stopped signing its prior release, iOS 18.6.1, removing any options for downgrading. iOS 26 is right around the corner, and with it a major Liquid Glass redesign and tons of new features. But for now, the latest iPhone update is iOS 18.6.2. And that software release came with only one change that we’re aware of: a critical security fix related to the ImageIO system framework. I

Contrastive Representations for Temporal Reasoning

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-27 07:42:40

In classical AI, perception relies on learning spatial representations, while planning—temporal reasoning over action sequences—is typically achieved through search. We study whether such reasoning can instead emerge from representations that capture both spatial and temporal structure. We show that standard temporal contrastive learning, despite its popularity, often fails to capture temporal structure, due to reliance on spurious features. To address this, we introduce Contrastive Representati
