Higher Multipoles of the Cow

Hacker News | positive | Published: 05:27 Sep 01, 2026 (Eastern)

An academic paper titled "Higher multipoles of the cow" proposes schemes to extend the standard spherical cow approximation to a full multipole expansion. Authored by Benjamin Lehmann, the work provides a method for computing bovine potentials, interactions beyond spherical symmetry, and the geometry of the cow at higher multipole moments, which can be applied to processes such as the gravitational wave emission from a rotating cow.

Scalable Direction-Following TTS via Voice Impression-Guided Pseudo Triplet Construction

arXiv CompSci CL | neutral | Published: 00:00 Sep 03, 2026 (Eastern)

The research paper "Scalable Direction-Following TTS via Voice Impression-Guided Pseudo Triplet Construction" explores direction-following text-to-speech (TTS), where a system generates a new utterance reflecting a specific performance direction relative to a reference utterance while preserving speaker identity and linguistic content. To overcome the shortage of training data, the authors propose a scalable pseudo-triplet construction pipeline that creates reference-direction-modified triplets by using an impression-controllable TTS model for style variations and an LLM to generate natural language directions. Experiments show that these pseudo-triplets enable stable speaker-preserving modification, and combining them with recorded data further enhances direction alignment while preserving speaker similarity.

AI-assisted mushroom hunting is a recipe for a bad trip

El Reg Offbeat | negative | Published: 16:34 Sep 02, 2026 (Eastern)

Polish software engineer Piotr Migdał conducted an experiment testing 16 AI models using 1,040 photos to determine how accurately they could identify 55 safe and deadly mushroom species. The best-performing model, Gemini-3.8-flash, was correct on its first guess 65 percent of the time, while Qwen3.8-27b performed the worst at 13 percent. Several models made dangerous misidentifications, occasionally labeling poisonous or fatal mushrooms such as death caps and webcaps as edible species. Migdał and experts warn that relying on AI models for mushroom identification can lead to severe health consequences or death.
