https://techxplore.com/news/2024-01-ai-driven-machine-method-software.html A team of computer scientists led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently announced a new method for automatically generating whole proofs that can be used to prevent software bugs and verify that the underlying code is correct. This new method, called Baldur, leverages the artificial intelligence power of large language models (LLMs), and when combined with the state-of-the-art tool Thor, yields unprecedented efficacy of nearly 66%. The team was recently awarded a Distinguished Paper award at the ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering. "We have unfortunately come to expect that our software is buggy, despite the fact that it is everywhere and we all use it every day," says Yuriy Brun, professor in the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences at UMass Amherst and the paper's senior author. The effects of buggy software can range anywhere from the annoying—glitchy formatting or sudden crashes—to potentially catastrophic when it comes to security breaches or the precision software used for space exploration or for controlling health care devices. Of course, there have been methods for checking software for as long as it has existed. One po[CENSORED]r method is the simplest: you have a human being go through the code, line by line, manually verifying that there are no errors. Or you can run the code and check it against what you expect it to do. If, for instance, you expect your word-processing software to break the line every time you press the "return" key, but it instead outputs a question mark, then you know something in the code is wrong. The problem with both methods is that they are prone to human error, and checking against every possible glitch is extraordinarily time-consuming, expensive and infeasible for anything but trivial systems. A much more thorough, but harder, method is to generate a mathematical proof showing that the code does what it is expected to do, and then use a theorem prover to make sure that the proof is also correct. This method is called machine-checking. But manually writing these proofs is incredibly time-consuming and requires extensive expertise. "These proofs can be many times longer than the software code itself," says Emily First, the paper's lead author who completed this research as part of her doctoral dissertation at UMass Amherst. With the rise of LLMs, of which ChatGPT is the most famous example, a possible solution is to try to generate such proofs automatically. However, "one of the biggest challenges with LLMs is that they're not always correct," says Brun. "Instead of crashing and letting you know that something is wrong, they tend to 'fail silently,' producing an incorrect answer but presenting it as if it's correct. And, often, the worst thing you can do is to fail silently." This is where Baldur comes in. First, whose team performed its work at Google, used Minerva, an LLM trained on a large corpus of natural-language text, and then fine-tuned it on 118GB of mathematical scientific papers and webpages containing mathematical expressions. Next, she further fine-tuned the LLM on a language, called Isabelle/HOL, in which the mathematical proofs are written. Baldur then generated an entire proof and worked in tandem with the theorem prover to check its work. When the theorem prover caught an error, it fed the proof, as well as information about the error, back into the LLM, so that it can learn from its mistake and generate a new and hopefully error-free proof. This process yields a remarkable increase in accuracy. The state-of-the-art tool for automatically generating proofs is called Thor, which can generate proofs 57% of the time. When Baldur (Thor's brother, according to Norse mythology) is paired with Thor, the two can generate proofs 65.7% of the time. Though there is still a large degree of error, Baldur is by far the most effective and efficient way yet devised to verify software correctness, and as the capabilities of AI are increasingly extended and refined, so should Baldur's effectiveness grow. The paper is published as part of the Proceedings of the 31st ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering

https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/handheld-gaming/msi-teases-its-first-handheld-gaming-pc-its-set-to-be-announced-at-ces-2024 MSI has posted a teaser video for its first-ever handheld gaming PC on its Instagram account. It claims that "a whole new breed of MSI dragon is coming" and shows the placement of two joysticks, as well as ventilation and what appears to be an MSI logo on the back of the device. The video suggests more details about this handheld PC will be shared at CES next week. At the moment, we can really only guess what exactly this device looks like inside and out, though a tweet from Intel gives us an idea of what's inside. The joysticks appears appear to be in a similar position to the Asus ROG Ally, which borrows the offset placement from Microsoft's Xbox controllers. We can see them in the video surrounded by RGB lighting in otherwise complete darkness. Handheld gaming PCs will be new territory for MSI, though the company has been making gaming laptops for many years now. Expanding into new markets isn't anything unusual for MSI though, which has recently gotten into high-end SSDs and routers. Getting into handheld gaming would get the company on par with many of its rivals, who have already launched their own handheld PCs. We can probably expect MSI's upcoming handheld to run Windows 11, which Microsoft has lately tweaked to be more palatable for handheld PCs. However, since Windows 11 still doesn't really work well on just a controller, it's almost certain that MSI will have custom software running on its handheld, a solution that Asus and Lenovo also had to rely on. Later in the day, Intel responded to a version of the teaser MSI posted on X (formerly Twitter) with three thinking face emojis, suggesting that perhaps Intel's Meteor Lake will be powering this handheld. Intel getting a deal with one of the biggest brands in PC gaming for a new form factor would be a big deal and would break AMD's multi-year long monopoly on handheld gaming PCs. On the other hand, testing indicates that Meteor Lake is quite a bit less efficient at lower power limits, which could be a deal-breaker for handheld gaming PCs, which tend to operate at lower power. Other Windows-powered gaming handhelds from major OEMs went with AMD's Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, which is the APU that powers Asus's ROG Ally and Lenovo's Legion Go. The Z1 Extreme is based on AMD's Phoenix chip, and it's more or less identical to the Ryzen 7 7840U. The fastest handheld gaming PCs today use either the Z1 Extreme or the 7840U, both of which are a fair bit faster than the Van Gogh APU found inside the Steam Deck. Some smaller brands are moving up to AMD's. Hawk Point 8040 series APUs, though this wouldn't be substantially different than using a Phoenix-based chip. Hawk Point only boasts a higher clock speed on its NPU, which won't really impact gaming performance. Despite that, GPD is switching its handhelds to the Ryzen 7 8840U, presumably because it's an easy swap with the 7840U. Though, should MSI want a newer version of the Z1 Extreme based on Hawk Point, it's not clear if one will even come out since the Z1 Extreme notably has its NPU disabled. It's unclear from this video what MSI might do to differentiate its offering from other handhelds outside of the possible choice of an Intel chip. The Lenovo Legion Go, for instance, had detachable controllers and a larger, higher resolution display than competitors. We'll have to wait until CES 2024 to learn more.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-67801167 Plans requiring people to earn £38,700 a year before bringing family to the UK will be introduced in early 2025, Rishi Sunak has said. The rise from the current £18,600 level was announced earlier this month and had been scheduled for the spring. However, the government has rowed back and now says the increase will come in two stages. Next spring, the threshold will rise to £29,000, with the further increase not applying until the following year. Speaking in Lincoln, Mr Sunak defended the timetable, saying: "The principle here is absolutely right that if people are bringing dependants into this country as part of their family, they must be able to support them. "We're doing exactly as we said we would. We're just doing it in two stages. So it will go up in a few months time and then it will go up again the full amount in early 2025." He added: "The levels of migration are far too high. They've got to come down." The next general election has to be held by January 2025, meaning Labour will face close questioning about its position on the proposed rules. Official estimates indicate net migration - the difference between the number of people coming to and leaving the UK - rose to a record 745,000 in 2022. In a bid to reduce the number, the government announced earlier this month it would be changing the rules for family visas alongside other measures including foreign workers having to earn at least £38,700 to qualify for a UK skilled worker visa. Ministers had faced criticism that the increase from £18,600 to £38,700 for family visas was too high and would disrupt households. The BBC also understands there were concerns that changing it all at once could leave the government more vulnerable to legal challenges. On Thursday, ministers announced the threshold would rise only to £29,000 in the spring before increasing to £38,700, but gave no further timetable. However, on Friday Mr Sunak provided more details when he said the figure would rise to the full amount in early 2025. A spokesman for former immigration minister Robert Jenrick, who quit the government earlier this month over Mr Sunak's approach to illegal migration, said the new visa rules "need to be implemented immediately". "Otherwise there risks being a fire sale of visa applications" as people tried to enter the country under the current system, he added. The Home Office has confirmed that anyone who wants to renew a family visa will be able to, without having to meet the new earnings threshold. A government factsheet said those who already had a family visa within the five-year partner route, or who applied before the minimum income threshold was raised, would continue to have their applications assessed against the current income level. Official statistics show that 82,395 family-related visas were issued in the year to September - 79% to partners, 13% to children and 8% to other relatives. A policy document said the new £29,000 threshold could contribute a "low tens of thousands" cut towards the government's overall target of reducing legal migration by 300,000 this year. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Madeleine Sumption, director of the University of Oxford-based Migration Observatory, said £29,000 was still "quite restrictive" compared with levels in other European countries and that £38,700 was "unusually high". Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the government had "failed to consult anyone on their new proposals and took no account of the impact of steep spousal visa changes on families next year, so it's no surprise they are now rowing back in a rush". Ruby's husband Furkan wants to join her in Plymouth Ruby told the BBC the £29,000 threshold was too high and could stop her husband Furkan, who's in Turkey, coming to live with her in Plymouth. She said: "[I'm] still £5,000 of short of what the requirement is now," despite already changing her job for the visa requirement - moving from being self-employed to a £23,000 a year job as a veterinary receptionist to show she has steady income to support her husband's visa application. "I think it's cruel on so many approaches," she said. "When I first heard I was beside myself... to just change it has affected me immensely so much. "I have lived here all my life, my family are here, I should be entitled to having a family life just like everyone else." Cam has been with his American wife for four years and had been hoping she would be able to join him in London. He earns £36,000 and had planned to make his application in March - after enough time to show he had a stable income - but was uncertain he would make it through before the new threshold came into force in the spring. Responding to the government's decision to introduce the rise in stages, he told the BBC: "On a personal level, it's a big relief knowing that even if [the income threshold] does change before we can apply, we'll still meet the requirements. Hopefully everything will be fine. "However I know a lot of couples, a lot of families, will still be feeling a lot of stress and a lot of pressure because they still won't be able to meet those requirements." British citizen Josie lives with her Italian husband in Ancona, Italy. The couple - both scientists - married in December 2020 and were planning on moving to the UK to settle. Speaking to the BBC's World at One programme, Josie said that despite the delay in introducing the £38,700 threshold, she was still not certain about returning to the UK. "Given the flipflopping around of policy decisions, it doesn't give us much confidence - it is a shame because the UK is a great place to be as a scientist."

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-67753113 Beavers have returned to the Cairngorms 400 years after the species were driven to extinction in Scotland. A pair were released at Rothiemurchus Estate, near Aviemore, and another pair on land owned by billionaires Anne and Anders Holch Povlsen. Over the next five years, 15 families could be released in the Cairngorms National Park. Some landowners have raised concerns about damage the animals could do to farm and wood land. The four beavers were released on Monday under a licence from public agency NatureScot. Read more stories from the Highlands and Islands Listen to the latest news from the Highlands and Islands on BBC Sounds The beavers had earlier been trapped in the River Tay's catchment area before being taken to Five Sisters Zoo, near West Calder, West Lothian, for health checks. Biodiversity Minister Lorna Slater assisted during Monday's release The reintroduction project partners include Cairngorm National Park Authority, RSPB Scotland and the Polvsens' Wildland Cairngorms Ltd, which manages the Gaick, Glenfeshie and Kinrara estates. The upper River Spey catchment in the Cairngorms represents the fifth catchment to which beavers have either been officially granted permission to remain, or have been released. Po[CENSORED]tions are already established in Tayside, on the Forth, in Knapdale and Loch Lomond. Biodiversity Minister Lorna Slater assisted with the release of the beavers at the Rothiemurchus site. She said: "Today is a key milestone in our ongoing collective efforts to ensure this iconic species can once again thrive across Scotland. "I want to thank the Cairngorms National Park Authority and all the organisations involved who have made this truly exciting moment possible." A male beaver enters a loch at Rothiemurchus on Monday Beavers died out in Scotland about 400 years ago but were reintroduced in 2009. Conservation organisations say beaver activity can improve water quality and natural habitats and also help to alleviate flooding. But some farmers have said a proper consultation was not held ahead of the Cairngorms releases.

https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2023/12/20/2024-royal-enfield-shotgun-650-first-look-11-fast-facts/ Tottenham Hotspur moved into the Premier League top four after beating Everton in a thrilling encounter. Richarlison opened the scoring against his former club with his fourth goal in three matches, before Son Heung-min doubled Spurs' advantage soon after. There is now a fourth parallel-twin from Chennai, India—the 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun 650. The new Shotgun joins the INT 650, the GT 650, and the also-new Super Meteor 650 atop the Royal Enfield lineup. While the bobber-style Shotgun might look similar to the Super Meteor cruiser, it is definitely its own model, so let’s investigate. 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun First Look: For Sale Before we get started, here’s where Eicher Motors Managing Director & CEO Siddhartha Lal places the new 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun 650: “The Shotgun 650 is inspired by the work of our custom community and our years of work with them. It is a retro-futuristic interpretation of what a factory custom motorcycle with thoroughbred Royal Enfield DNA would look like. A shape-shifting machine that defies categorization, both in form and in spirit, the Shotgun 650 is something absolutely new and different.” The graphic-novel-style illustrations Royal Enfield shared with us back up that vision. The primary common component of the 650s is the nearly vertical twin-cylinder motor. We love how the air-cooled, fuel-injected motor works in the other incarnations. Smooth and torquey always makes for an enjoyable ride. A six-speed transmission makes the most out of the 46-horsepower peak, though we would like to see assist and/or slipper functions engineered into the clutch. The 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 has its own set of wheels. The Shotgun gets an 18-/17-inch wheelset. The Super Meteor cruiser has a rakish 19-/16-inch combination with the INT and GT upright standard sportbikes, using 18-inch rims. Like the Super Meteor, the Shotgun has aluminum alloy wheels rather than the wire-spoked INT/GT wheels. 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun First Look: Specs The wheelbase of the Shotgun sits between the stretched-out Super Meteor and the INT/GT sport lineup. Although the Shotgun’s wheelbase is 1.4 inches shorter than the relaxed Super Meteor, it’s a healthy 2.6 inches longer than the sport 650s. The 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is also more raked out than the sporty Royal Enfield INT and GT 650s. However, the Shotgun’s rake is still aggressive at 25.3 degrees, so the bobber should have an edge in the canyons over Super Meteor. 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun First Look: Price Suspension travel on the Shotgun is a mix of the Super Meteor and the INT/GT combo. Like the Super Meteor, the 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun has an inverted fork with 4.7 inches of travel. However, the twin shocks manage just 3.5 inches of travel—the same as on the INT/GT and a half-inch less than the Super Meteor. The fork is a Showa SSP-BP model, with fixed damping and spring-preload. The Shotgun shares its brakes and tire model with the Super Meteor. There’s a single 320mm disc in the front and a large 300mm disc out back. Brembo subsidiary ByBre manufactures the calipers. Seat Zoom Cruz tires provide the interface with the pavement. 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun First Look: Bobber Motorcycle True to its bobber ethos, the Shotgun ergonomics nod toward sportiness without abandoning style. The footpegs are slightly forward, and the handlebar bend low and flat. The stylishly decisive solo seat gives the 2024 Royal Enfield Shotgun a purposeful look. Passenger footpegs are standard, though the pillion for the person riding shotgun is optional. Keeping with the bobber styling, the Shotgun 650 has a smaller fuel tank than the Super Meteor. The Shotgun’s tank holds 3.6 gallons, about a half-gallon less than the Super Meteor, which also does double-duty as a cruiser-tourer. The black exhaust system with the peashooter mufflers is a classic look. The LED headlight’s nacelle is a nod to modernity without compromising the retro cool. Accessories: Exploded view 10.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67735455 Everton deservedly pulled a goal back through Andre Gomes, in his first Premier League game since May 2022. But Spurs move above Manchester City - absent from league action due to the Club World Cup - into fourth. Defeat for Everton ended a four-match winning run and leaves then just four points above the relegation zone. Brazilian Richarlison put the hosts ahead after just nine minutes, slotting in Brennan Johnson's low cross at the near post. Son doubled Spurs' advantage soon after, with Johnson again providing a key supporting role. The Wales international picked the ball up from a short corner and fired in a powerful drive which Everton keeper Jordan Pickford palmed away. It fell to Son, who slid the ball home with Pickford caught in a crowd of players and unable to intervene. Everton showed plenty of attacking intent in an entertaining match and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored five minutes after half-time - only for the video assistant referee to disallow the goal following a foul by Gomes on Emerson Royal in the build-up. Gomes, who spent last season on loan at Lille before suffering a calf injury, made some amends with a fine volleyed strike on 82 minutes to set up a grandstand finish, but Spurs held on. How did you rate Spurs' performance? Have your say here What did you make of Everton's display? Send us your views here 30 not out for free-scoring Spurs Tottenham had the chance to give their fans an early Christmas present by moving into the top four, and they delivered in typical Ange Postecoglou attacking style. Spurs have now scored in 30 consecutive Premier League games and are the only team in the division to register a goal in every league match this season. The impact of Postecoglou's gung-ho tactics were visible in Spurs' lightning start and in Everton having plenty of chances themselves. It is also evidenced in the scoring stats of Richarlison. He managed just two goals in his first 39 league games for Spurs, but now has six goals already this season. The 26-year-old's form has been a welcome boost for Postecoglou in restoring Spurs' top four challenge after it was shaken by poor results in November and early December - although there was worry for the manager as the striker had to be taken off in the second half with an apparent back injury. Meanwhile, Son's goal was his 11th league goal in 2023-24, more than his tally from last season. While Everton came away with no points, they contributed plenty with the hosts frequently grateful to goalkeeper Gigi Vicario's saves. Vicario could do little to stop Calvert-Lewin's strike sweeping past him on 50 minutes - but was saved by VAR - nor James Garner's strike shortly after which hit the outside of the far post. But after being beaten by Gomes' strike, Vicario proved the saviour once more with a two late stops from Arnaut Danjuma, including keeping a 97th-minute volley out with his thigh after the former Spurs winger struck the bar.

Ingredients For the beef 1 tbsp vegetable oil 2kg/4lb 8oz sirloin of beef 2 tbsp English mustard powder 1 tbsp ground sea salt 1 tbsp cracked black pepper For the creamed horseradish 4 tbsp horseradish root, grated 1 tbsp white wine vinegar pinch English mustard powder 1 tsp caster sugar 150ml/5fl oz double cream For the roast beef, heat the oil in a roasting tin on the hob. Seal the sirloin all over including the ends. Set aside in the roasting tin. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Meanwhile mix together the mustard, salt and pepper and rub all over the sirloin. Pour a little water into the roasting tray (just enough to cover the bottom). Place the beef in the oven for 30 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3 and continue to roast for a further 20–40 minutes, depending on how rare you like your beef. (For rare, roast for 20 minutes per kilo or 9 minutes per lb; for medium, 30 minutes per kilo or 14 minutes per lb; for well-done, 40 minutes per kilo or 18 minutes per lb.) To test that the beef is ready, use a meat thermometer – see the Recipe Tips for temperature guidance. Remove the joint from the oven and set aside to rest for 15 minutes. To make the creamed horseradish, mix all the ingredients together to a smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Carve the beef and serve with the horseradish on the side. When using a meat thermometer, you want an internal temperature of 45–52C for rare, 55–60C for medium and 68–72C for well-done. This beef is great served in bread rolls with the horseradish sauce, some cripsy fried onions and salad leaves. Slice the beef thickly and dip one half of the roll into the cooking fat and juices, add a couple of slices of meat and top with fried onions and salad. On the other half of the roll spread a generous layer of creamed horseradish. To make crispy fried onions, heat a knob of butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry sliced onions until golden-brown, about 3–5 minutes.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67809242 Israel says it has arrested 200 members of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups in the past week and taken them into its territory for questioning. A statement said some of the suspects had been hiding among the civilian po[CENSORED]tion and surrendered voluntarily. Israel says 700 Palestinian militants have been arrested since it launched its military operation and invasion of Gaza with the aim of eliminating Hamas. Hamas says mostly women and children are being killed by the Israelis. The BBC is unable to verify the claims. Israel has previously stressed that it takes steps to avoid civilian casualties, and blames Hamas for embedding itself in densely-po[CENSORED]ted areas. Israel launched its retaliatory operation after Hamas fighters crossed from Gaza into southern Israel on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking about 240 hostages. More than 20,000 people have been killed and 53,000 injured in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Its update on Saturday said another 201 people had been killed and 368 others injured in the previous day alone. The UN earlier announced that its aid worker Issam al-Mughrabi, 56, had been killed in a strike - along with his wife, children and more than 70 members of his extended family. Israel announced that five more of its soldiers had been killed in fighting in Gaza, bringing the total to 144 to since it launched its ground operation. The military has kept up its bombing campaign in Gaza - ordering civilians to flee. On Saturday, it said one of its fighter jets had killed Hassah Atrash, a man it accused of smuggling weapons into Gaza to arm Hamas. There was no confirmation from Hamas. Why are Israel and Hamas fighting in Gaza? 'I don't want to be a number': Gazans live in fear of dying The Israeli military has said it has almost full operational control of the north of the Gaza Strip, and is stepping up operations in the south. The UN said the latest evacuation order affected 150,000 people in the middle of the territory. "People in Gaza are people," commented Thomas White from UNWRA, the agency for Palestinian refugees. "They are not pieces on a checkerboard - many have already been displaced several times." The latest evacuation order impacted people in the Bureij refugee camp, who were told to head towards Deir al-Balah city further south. Palestinian news agency Wafa reported on Saturday that Bureij had been shelled - as had the Jabalia and Nuseirat camps, among other locations. A medic named Ziad told Reuters news agency he was left asking where to go, as there was "no safe place". An adviser to the Israeli prime minister has acknowledged "terrible suffering" in Gaza - but told the BBC this was because the territory's Hamas leadership "don't give a hoot" for the people there. The suffering "shouldn't have happened" but came about after a "declaration of war" by Hamas on 7 October, said Mark Regev. The questioning of 200 new suspects was announced in a joint statement on Saturday by the Israeli military and internal security service Shin Bet. The statement said this followed the arrests in Gaza of "hundreds of suspects involved in terrorist activities". The BBC is not able to independently verify all battlefield claims. However, it did verify video earlier this month showing the detention of dozens of Palestinian men in the north Gaza Strip.
