Solving functional gradient descent with adaptive representations
Functional gradient descent often beats neural networks in practice, yet it rarely gets implemented accurately. The core issue is that functional gradients are infinite-dimensional, and naive approximations converge to the wrong solution. This new work, accepted at NeurIPS, formalizes a class of adaptive representations that provably guarantee convergence to the global minimizer. The resulting algorithms outperform neural nets by an order of magnitude across multiple settings. It's early days, but this line of research carries genuine potential.
Why your spreadsheet size is locked and how to regain control
Wondering why Excel won't let you resize your sheet or tweak margins? You're not alone, this trips up plenty of users. The missing printer is likely the culprit. Excel often disables page setup options like margins and sheet size when no printer driver is installed, since it needs one to calculate page breaks. It's a quirk, not a flaw in your work. Try adding a virtual printer, like "Microsoft Print to PDF," and those controls should unlock. Frustrating, yes, but fixable in minutes.
Restoring Speed to Your Spreadsheet Error Fixes
If your weekly Excel files keep arriving as text, the error fix button was likely your quiet savior. Now, watching that same fix take 10 to 15 seconds after an AI update feels like a step backward, especially when colleagues still have the original two-second option. You are not alone in wanting that control back. While a direct toggle to revert the feature isn't always available, manually reformatting cells to "Number" often works.
Filtered data shouldn't mean filtered control over your selections.
Click-dragging to select one column in a filtered sheet can feel like the spreadsheet is working against you. That jarring jump from a single column to a sprawling range is a classic friction point when dealing with large, inherited datasets. The issue usually boils down to hidden rows being included in the selection logic, not a broken setting. It is a frustrating snag, but it is solvable.
React Router v8: A Purposeful Shift to ESM and Default Middleware
React Router v8 landed on June 17, 2026, and it's a deliberately boring release. The team stripped things down to an ESM-only build and made middleware the default, signaling a clean break from legacy complexity. With v6 and Remix v2 now at end of life, the migration path is clear, if not thrilling. That's fine. Not every update needs fanfare. For those weighing TanStack Router instead, the choice is yours.
