As we count down to kickoff, we're breaking down every franchise division-by-division. Today, we're spotlighting the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South. Each preview analyzes the team's offseason moves, coaching staff, projected strengths and weaknesses, schedule, win total and best futures bet. Atlanta missed the playoffs in 2025-26 for an eighth consecutive season and fired now-former head coach Raheem Morris afterward.

Dan Dakich reacts to and fixes Angel Reese's shooting form. Angel Reese's eventful weekend ended with an injury and one of her worst performances of the season. The Atlanta Dream star left Sunday afternoon's game against her former team, the Chicago Sky, after her left leg appeared to give out as she attempted a layup early in the fourth quarter. Reese fell to the floor after missing the shot, briefly got back to her feet and then went down again.

DOGE Used AI for Housing Policy. The Government Won't Say How In response to a public records request, HUD has withheld documents about DOGE's use of AI--in part by citing a privilege that doesn't exist. Members of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) who were working at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) used artificial intelligence to inform policy decisions. Now, the agency appears to be denying Freedom of Information Act requests for information on the development and use of AI tools, and the way they informed policy decisions, according to documents obtained by a FOIA request by Democracy Forward, a nonprofit legal organization. Last year, WIRED reported that Christopher Sweet, who was then a third-year student at the University of Chicago, had joined the DOGE team at HUD, along with Scott Langmack, who came to DOGE from a property technology startup called Kukun. Sweet's primary focus, according to HUD employees who spoke to WIRED at the time, was on using artificial intelligence to identify agency rules for potential rescission, or contract cancellations, as part of a similar effort across the government .

The University of Chicago is banning laptops, tablets and phones for first-year law students in a sweeping AI ban aimed at preserving critical thinking in legal education.

Watermarking promises a statistical trace of large language model (LLM) use, but real documents, after editing or paraphrasing, rarely arrive as purely human-written or purely machine-generated. This motivates a quantitative question beyond detection: what proportion of a document is generated from a pre-specified watermarked LLM? We study this watermark proportion estimation problem under the Gumbel--max watermarking mechanism, treating the next-token prediction (NTP) distributions as unknown and arbitrary nuisance parameters subject to a non-degeneracy condition. We compare two observation regimes: in the full observation regime, the estimator observes the pseudorandom vector and the selected token at each position; under the more popular setting of pivotal reduction, it observes only a scalar pivot, which follows a one-dimensional Uniform--Beta mixture distribution. Under pivotal reduction, we develop a Laguerre-polynomial estimator and establish a matching information-theoretic lower bound for the sample complexity. For full observation, we introduce an event-counting estimator and show a matching lower bound, yielding a substantially smaller sample complexity. As our results imply, although reducing to pivotal statistics is an elegant and widely used procedure, it is not always sample-efficient for estimating the proportion of watermarks.

We establish approximation and learning guarantees for Fourier neural operators (FNOs) applied to time-$T$ solution operators of dissipative evolution equations. The analysis builds on the premise that FNOs can efficiently approximate and learn solution operators whenever these operators admit stable and accurate spectral discretizations. To formalize this idea, we introduce classes of evolution operators defined through spectral methods and derive FNO approximation bounds and polynomial sample complexity guarantees for these classes. For equations with polynomial nonlinearities, the learning rates depend primarily on the smoothness of the input space and the dimension of the physical domain. Our results hold uniformly over broad families of dissipative equations, rather than for a single fixed PDE, and apply in particular to the Navier--Stokes, Allen--Cahn, and Cahn--Hilliard equations. For equations with non-polynomial smooth nonlinearities, we prove that polynomial sample complexity still holds with rates that now additionally depend on the smoothness of the nonlinear terms and the dissipation strength. Overall, we connect classical spectral approximation theory with modern operator learning and explain when FNOs can learn nonlinear evolution operators efficiently.

Online ride-hailing platforms aim to deliver efficient mobility-on-demand services, often facing challenges in balancing dynamic and spatially heterogeneous supply and demand. Existing methods typically fall into two categories: reinforcement learning (RL) approaches, which suffer from data inefficiency, oversimplified modeling of real-world dynamics, and difficulty enforcing operational constraints; or decomposed online optimization methods, which rely on manually designed highlevel objectives that lack awareness of low-level routing dynamics. To address this issue, we propose a novel hybrid framework that integrates large language model (LLM) with mathematical optimization in a dynamic hierarchical system: (1) it is training-free, removing the need for large-scale interaction data as in RL, and (2) it leverages LLM to bridge cognitive limitations caused by problem decomposition by adaptively generating high-level objectives. Within this framework, LLM serves as a meta-optimizer, producing semantic heuristics that guide a low-level optimizer responsible for constraint enforcement and real-time decision execution. These heuristics are refined through a closed-loop evolutionary process, driven by harmony search, which iteratively adapts the LLM prompts based on feasibility and performance feedback from the optimization layer. Extensive experiments based on scenarios derived from both the New York and Chicago taxi datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, achieving an average improvement of 16% compared to state-of-the-art baselines.
