Show HN: Nino – Fastest C# serializer, safe on untrusted input, also TS/Go/Rust

Nino is a source-generated binary serializer for C#, and as far as we know the fastest one. In the same BenchmarkDotNet run on GitHub runners against MemoryPack 1.21.4, it serializes classes and polymorphic types 3.5–7.2x faster and deserializes them 1.7–2.1x faster (arrays of unmanaged structs are on par). Deserializing into existing objects allocates nothing. Reproduce: https://nino.xgamedev.net/en/docs/v4/benchmarksIt is built to read bytes you do not trust: lengths are checked before allocating, depth is bounded, hash flooding is limited, and the read paths are fuzzed in CI.The bytes are a spec, not a memory dump, so CoreCLR, Mono, IL2CPP and 32-bit hosts write the same bytes, and runtimes for TypeScript, Go and Rust pass the same conformance corpus.Trade-offs: positional by default (VersionTolerant or Keyed for stored data), a 4-byte type id on polymorphic values, no System.Type, needs C# 9 and Roslyn 4.3+.Docs: https://nino.xgamedev.net Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50413601 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Phonological Knowledge of Chinese Characters in Language Models

arXiv:2611.05803v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How much phonological knowledge do language models (LMs) possess about Chinese characters, and how is this knowledge represented and used? We introduce PinyinBench, a controlled benchmark covering homophones, phonological features (initials, finals, and tones), and polyphonic characters. We investigate 17 text-only and multimodal LMs through three complementary approaches: behavioral evaluation, layer-wise probing, and activation steering. Behaviorally, models demonstrate substantial knowledge of initials and finals, with a frontier model (DS-v4-flash) scoring 90%+ in homophone judgment, when two characters share no phonological features. However, its accuracy drops sharply to 72% when two characters differ only in lexical tone. Probing reveals that tone is highly decodable from embeddings and improves modestly across layers, whereas segmental information starts less decodable and improves substantially with depth. Activation steering shows that segmental representations can systematically influence generation, while tone exhibits much weaker effects. Furthermore, audio-bearing training improves phonological decodability, including tone, without corresponding improvements in steering effectiveness. Together, these findings reveal distinct representational and functional profiles for segmental and tonal information, with tonal information much harder to access and manipulate, demonstrating the necessity for combined evaluation, probing, and causal intervention for understanding linguistic knowledge in LMs.

Computation in Anonymous Directed Dynamic Networks: Exact Worst-Case Termination Time and Network-Wise Intractability

arXiv:2611.01761v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We determine the exact round complexity of Counting in anonymous directed dynamic networks. Agents have no identifiers, but $\ell\geq1$ of them are designated as leaders. Every agent knows $\ell$ and its own leader status, while the population size $n$ is unknown and has to be determined by the agents. Communication proceeds in synchronous rounds; the directed communication graph may change arbitrarily and unpredictably from one round to the next, but is assumed to remain strongly connected. We solve Counting with a distributed algorithm that makes every agent output $n$ and halt after a number of rounds equal to $\begin{cases} n&\text{if }n=\ell\\ 2n-1&\text{if }n>\ell\text{ and }\ell=1\\ 2n-2&\text{if }n>\ell\text{ and }\ell\geq2. \end{cases}$ The algorithm works even for networks with loops and parallel arcs and even when agents learn their outdegree only after sending. We prove that this bound is worst-case tight over directed multigraphs for every $n$ and $\ell$ with $1\leq\ell\leq n$. Moreover, the local computation is polynomial (provided that each communication multigraph has at most $2^{\operatorname{poly}(n)}$ arcs): in every round, each agent solves at most one linear system with up to $n$ variables. By standard techniques, solving Counting also enables the evaluation of any computable function of the multiset of agents' input values within $2n-1$ communication rounds. The bound above optimizes the worst case over all networks. For an individual network, we show that even deciding whether an agent already has enough local information to determine $n$ is $\mathsf{coNP}$-complete (provided that the numbers of parallel arcs are encoded in binary). Thus, worst-case-optimal Counting admits polynomial local computation, whereas exact network-wise optimization is intractable under standard complexity assumptions.

Collaborative In-Context Learning for Indoor Radio Map Estimation

arXiv:2610.31702v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Indoor radio map estimation (RME) is essential for wireless applications such as coverage planning, localization, and network deployment. However, most existing methods follow a supervised learning paradigm that requires costly labeled data and task-specific model training. Moreover, indoor environments involve privacy-sensitive information, such as building layouts and structures, that often cannot be centralized. To address these challenges, we make the first attempt to formulate indoor RME as a collaborative in-context learning (ICL) problem. We propose Poly-Ripple, a framework in which multiple clients perform ICL using large autoregressive vision models (LAVMs) without model updates. Each client is prompted by its private demonstrations

Amazon QuickSight’s layered maps now support GeoJSON point and line features, enabling the visualization of locations and routes together.

Amazon QuickSight’s layered maps now support the GeoJSON formats for Point and LineString geometries, enabling users to overlay store locations, delivery routes, or flight trajectories on the same map. This capability requires no third-party services, but it does demand that GeoJSON files adhere to the proper structure, with matching keys and static updates.

Introducing Qwen2-Math

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD 🚨 This model mainly supports English. We will release bilingual (English and Chinese) math models soon. Introduction Over the past year, we have dedicated significant effort to researching and enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models, with a particular focus on their ability to solve arithmetic and mathematical problems. Today, we are delighted to introduce a series of math-specific large language models of our Qwen2 series, Qwen2-Math and Qwen2-Math-Instruct-1.
