'Your craft is obsolete': WiseTech staff in limbo as AI touted as better than humans Staff at WiseTech have been waiting almost three months to be told if they are among the 2,000 people the logistics software company is to cut due to advances in AI, with workers criticising the wait as stressful and "ridiculous". The comments come as its founder on Tuesday told investors an AI agent could learn a human's job in just 15 minutes, according to the Australian Financial Review.

The goal of this thesis is to investigate the structural properties of certain sequential problems in order to bring the solutions closer to a practical use. In the first part, we put a special emphasis on structures that can be represented as graphs on actions. In the second part, we study the large action spaces that can be of exponential size in the number of base actions or even infinite. For graph bandits, we consider the settings of smoothness of rewards (spectral bandits), side observations, and influence maximization. For large structured domains, we cover kernel bandits, polymatroid bandits, bandits for function optimization (including unknown smoothness), and infinitely many-arms bandits. The thesis aspires to be a survey of the author's contributions on graph and structured bandits.

The voice actors from the original film have returned for the sequel--and not everyone is happy about it. One thing is certain about: The ambitious undertaking of making a sequel of a cult status film after 20 years has succeeded, at least as far as box office figures are concerned. The numbers speak for themselves, with $77 million generated in US theaters and another $157 million in the rest of the world since its April 29 release. In the face of such a box office smash, this installment has inspired heated debates for days about its quality and comparisons to the original. In Italy, those arguments even extend to the dubbing of the film. The controversy stems from the choice of voice actors in the Italian version of, who are themselves a nod to continuity; it's the same cast as the original.

In 1990, three former Apple employees launched a company that epitomized the Silicon Valley dream. What they invented looked like an iPhone--more than a decade earlier. The device never came to be. Imagine a tech company so visionary that it can take an public. A "concept IPO," they called it. Picture the three founders, all former Apple employees, two of whom--software engineers Andy Hertzfeld and Bill Atkinson--were already Silicon Valley legends for their work creating the Apple Macintosh. Atkinson's prolific inventions included the double click and the drop down menu.
