Turning Mistakes into Strengths: Teaching AI to Recover from Errors
![The Fission-GRPO framework operates through iterative refinement-initially optimizing a policy [latex]\pi_{\theta}[/latex] across a query distribution [latex]\mathcal{D}[/latex], then isolating error trajectories via a diagnostic simulator [latex]\mathcal{S}_{\phi}[/latex], and finally employing a multiplicative resampling process-governed by a factor [latex]G^{\prime}[/latex]-to steer the policy toward successful recovery paths, embodying a system designed not to prevent decay, but to adaptively reconfigure itself within it.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.15625v1/x2.png)

The show You first aired on Lifetime, but it became much more popular after moving to Netflix for its second season. Many viewers immediately compared it to the Showtime series Dexter, as both shows revolve around a serial killer. Like Dexter Morgan, who operates by a strict moral code, Joe, the killer in You, justifies his actions. A key similarity is the narration by the main character, which gives insight into their thinking. However, there’s a significant difference in how the characters are perceived. While Dexter is awkward but likable, earning a strange sort of affection from fans, Joe’s personality is much more disturbing, leaving viewers feeling uneasy and making the show harder to binge-watch.

According to FlixPatrol, the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers is currently ranked 18th among the most popular shows on iTunes’ VOD platform. Although it didn’t break into the top ten, debuting this high and remaining on the list after only five days proves how well-loved and enduring Band of Brothers remains.

The new show, The Beauty, is based on an Image Comics series and blends the world of high fashion with scary, sci-fi elements. Its quick rise in popularity shows that comics outside of Marvel and DC can be just as successful. The Beauty joins other well-known shows adapted from independent comics, like The Walking Dead and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

A new free-to-play strategy game called War of Dots is now available on Steam. Despite its simple graphics, it’s received very positive reviews, with 88% of players recommending it.

Here’s a guide to all the new movies and watch parties coming to Shudder in February 2026, including when you can stream them.

As a movie fan, I’ll never forget Wonder Woman’s iconic gauntlet smash – the way she brings her bracelets together to unleash that huge shockwave is just awesome. It’s been over ten years since they filmed Batman v Superman, but it’s clear Zack Snyder still really loves Diana and Gal Gadot. He recently shared a slow-motion clip on Instagram of Gal Gadot practicing that famous smash, and it looks incredible!

A new approach to modeling spiking neural networks using hypergraphs promises to dramatically improve how these networks are deployed on specialized neuromorphic hardware.

I recently found out something surprising about the ending of Independence Day. Apparently, the iconic scene with Randy Quaid’s character flying into the alien ship wasn’t how it was originally supposed to happen! There’s actually an alternate scene that was planned. It’s pretty wild, and I’m going to explain what the original plan was and why director Roland Emmerich changed it so late in the process…

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, actor Milo Manheim admitted he’s feeling some pressure taking on the iconic role. “I’m definitely nervous – I won’t pretend otherwise,” he confessed. He explained he has a lot of respect for the character and the original film, which is one of his favorites, and wants to live up to fans’ expectations and deliver a performance they’ll enjoy.
