Back when it first came out, the Nintendo Switch was both a wonder and a frustrating mystery. It basically had the guts of what could have been one of the most powerful tablets of its time, as clearly proven by its gaming capabilities. And yet in typical Nintendo fashion, that hardware would never realize its full potential because of the locked-down operating system that Nintendo uses on it. It could, for example, browse the Web or play videos, but you can never do that directly without installing mods.With the Nintendo Switch 2 just around the corner, there is once more an interest in what the device would be capable of. We have none of the specs yet, but its at least expected to be more powerful than the well-aged hardware of the OG Switch. That does open up the possibility of even more functionality, at least given the right accessories. This concept, for example, envisions slapping on a second screen that would transform the Switch 2 into a NewDS, something that we know will never come to pass.Designer: JardThe Nintendo Switch 2 is bigger than its predecessor, so its large enough to emulate a Nintendo DS experience, at least when you turn it on its side. That wont be the most comfortable way to use it, though, as youll need a separate grip to hold the Joy-cons in that position. It would definitely be easier if you just added a second screen, which this concept suggests.Taking advantage of the fact that there will be two USB-C ports on the console this time, the concept design presents an accessory that attaches to the bottom of the Nintendo Switch 2, connects to the USB-C port there, and covers the main screen like a folio when not in use. That means having to turn the device upside-down whenever you try to use it, which makes more sense when you realize that the air vents would be covered otherwise. This unusual design also takes advantage of the dock alignment slots at the bottom to provide better stability.Such an accessory opens a whole new world of use for the Switch 2, which goes beyond just emulating DS games properly. You can multi-task playing and watching a walkthrough, for example, or even have new Switch 2 titles that make full use of having dual screens, one for information and another for the game itself. But its also exactly because of these use cases that Nintendo will probably never implement anything that would support such a feature.For one, it would need to be a first-party accessory if it is going to be something that game developers can depend on, but that would also make games more complicated as theyd have to support both single and dual-screen scenarios. It would also make Nintendo do extra work to develop its custom OS to support extending the UI to a second screen, which opens a whole can of worms called software bugs. Perhaps the concept of a rotating webcam is going to be more probable, but the applications of that functionality are even more limited.The post Nintendo Switch 2 Second Screen is a wonderful concept that will never happen first appeared on Yanko Design.

The western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta) is a medium-sized species of bird in the family Icteridae, the icterids. About 8.5 inches (22 centimetres) in length, it is found across western and central North America. It is a full migrant, breeding in Canada and the United States with resident populations also found in Mexico. The species has distinctive calls described as watery or flute-like, which distinguish it from the closely related eastern meadowlark. The western meadowlark is the state bird of six U.S. states: Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, and Wyoming. This western meadowlark was photographed perching on a twig in Grasslands National Park, in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.Photograph credit: Simon Pierre BarretteRecently featured: Wheelwright, KentuckyPumoriCatherine GrandArchiveMore featured pictures

LLM-based multi-agent (LLM-MA) systems enable multiple language model agents to collaborate on complex tasks by dividing responsibilities. These systems are used in robotics, finance, and coding but face challenges in communication and refinement. Text-based communication leads to long, unstructured exchanges, making it hard to track tasks, maintain structure, and recall past interactions. Refinement methods like debates and feedback-based improvements struggle as important inputs may be ignored or biased due to processing order. These issues limit the efficiency of LLM-MA systems in handling multi-step problems.Currently, LLM-based multi-agent systems use debate, self-refinement, and multi-agent feedback to handle complex tasks. These techniques become unstructured and hard to control based on text-based interaction. Agents struggle to follow subtasks, remember previous interactions, and provide consistent responses. Various communication structures, including chain and tree-based models, try to enhance efficiency but do not have explicit protocols for structuring information. Feedback-refinement techniques try to increase accuracy but have challenges with biased or duplicate inputs, making evaluation unreliable. Without systematic communication and feedback on a large scale, such systems still are inefficient and error-prone.To mitigate these issues, researchers from Sony Group Corporation, Japan, proposed TalkHier, a framework that improves communication and task coordination in multi-agent systems using structured protocols and hierarchical refinement. Unlike standard approaches, TalkHier explicitly describes the interactions of agents and task formulation more and more subtly, reducing error and efficiency. Agents execute formalized roles, and scaling is automatically adapted to different issues by the system, resulting in improved decision-making and coordination.This framework structures agents in a graph such that each node is an agent, and edges represent communication paths. Agents possess independent memory, which allows them to hold pertinent information and make decisions based on informed inputs without using shared memory. Communication follows a formal process: messages contain content, background information, and intermediate outputs. Agents are organized into teams with supervisors monitoring the process, and a subset of agents serve as members and supervisors, resulting in a nested hierarchy. Work is allocated, assessed, and improved in a series of iterations until it passes a quality threshold, with the goal of accuracy and minimizing errors.Upon evaluation, researchers assessed TalkHier across multiple benchmarks to analyze its effectiveness. On the MMLU dataset, covering Moral Scenario, College Physics, Machine Learning, Formal Logic, and US Foreign Policy, TalkHier, built on GPT-4o, achieved the highest accuracy of 88.38%, surpassing AgentVerse (83.66%) and single-agent baselines like ReAct7@ (67.19%) and GPT-4o-7@ (71.15%), demonstrating the benefits of hierarchical refinement. On the WikiQA dataset, it outperformed baselines in open-domain question answering with a ROUGE-1 score of 0.3461 (+5.32%) and a BERTScore of 0.6079 (+3.30%), exceeding AutoGPT (0.3286 ROUGE-1, 0.5885 BERTScore). An ablation study showed that removing the evaluation supervisor or structured communication significantly reduced accuracy, confirming their importance. TalkHier outperformed OKG by 17.63% across Faithfulness, Fluency, Attractiveness, and Character Count Violation on the Camera dataset for ad text generation, with human evaluations validating its multi-agent assessments. While OpenAI-o1s internal architecture was not revealed, TalkHier posted competitive MMLU scores and beat it decisively on WikiQA, showing flexibility between tasks and dominance over majority voting and open-source multi-agent systems.In the end, the proposed framework improved communication, reasoning, and coordination in LLM multi-agent systems by combining a structured protocol with hierarchical refinement, which resulted in a better performance on several benchmarks. Including messages, intermediate results, and context information ensured structured interactions without sacrificing heterogeneous agent feedback. Even with increased API expenses, TalkHier set a new benchmark for scalable, objective multi-agent cooperation. This methodology can serve as a baseline in subsequent research, directing improvement in effective communication mechanisms and low-cost multi-agent interactions, ultimately towards advancing LLM-based cooperative systems.Check outthePaper and GitHub Page.All credit for this research goes to the researchers of this project.

The WH-1000XM5 is considered by many to be the best noise cancelling headphones under $400 and on par with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and AirPods Max.Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones for $221Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones (Import)In our glowing Sony WH1000XM5 review, Kevin Lee wrote that "The Sony WH-1000XM5 is hands down the best sounding and most impressive noise-canceling headphones around. They demand a high premium but the cost of audio excellence is well worth it with this pair of headphones."The prior generation Sony XM4 was already an outstanding headphone, but the XM5 features key improvements in noise cancellation and comfort. The XM5 has been fitted with a second processor and double the microphone count dedicated to filtering out ambient noise. The earcups have also been redesigned so that they fit more snugly on the ear, thus creating a better seal and as a result, more effective passive noise isolation. The noise cancelling is noticeably better than the XM4 and pretty much any other noise cancelling headset in its price range.The Sony WH-1000XM5 has also been updated with a noticeably sleeker redesign with a different style of headband adjustment. The band is wider than before for better weight distribution and the earcup padding is now made of a luxurious synthetic leather material that's softer and more comfortable. You can easily wear these headphones for hours. One small drawback, however, is that the XM5 can no longer be folded inward, only swivelled, so it's less compact.The Sony WH-1000XM5 retains the XM4's excellent battery life at over 30 hours on a single charge even with ANC activated. The XM5 also supports fast charging over USB Type-C. Best of all, at this price, the XM5 is considerably less expensive than its competitors like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and the AirPods Max. If you're already in the market for a premium noise cancelling headphone, you should jump on this deal.Why Should You Trust IGN's Deals Team?IGN's deals team has a combined 30+ years of experience finding the best discounts in gaming, tech, and just about every other category.
