Remarkable’s refurbished bundle is an awesome deal that’s over $350 off
Plus, Twelve South’s high-end Bluetooth adapter and Anker’s 7-in-1 charging station are each under $60.

A lot of us here at The Verge are fans of Remarkable’s digital note-taking tablets, and right now one of its higher-end options is much cheaper than usual. The Remarkable Paper Pro normally sells for $629 on its own, but Woot is currently offering a refurbished bundle for $449.99 through July 31st. It includes the tablet, a Marker Plus stylus, and a Book Folio, saving you $368 compared to buying new. The same refurbished bundle costs $649 from Remarkable and comes with a longer one-year warranty versus Woot’s 90-day warranty.
Remarkable Paper Pro bundle (refurbished)
The 11.8-inch Paper Pro offers a paper-like writing experience, along with a rich color display. Unlike the monochromatic Paper Pure —Remarkable’s latest tablet that retails for $399 — it features an adjustable front light, making it easier to read and keep working after the lights go down. It also supports (but does not include) the optional $229 Type Folio keyboard , allowing you to switch between handwriting and typing.
Writing feels remarkably smooth — more so than similar devices from Boox, Kobo, and even Kindle Scribe models — while Remarkable’s software lets you organize notebooks with folders and tags, write directly on PDFs, and quickly convert handwritten notes into typed text. Although it supports basic sketching features like layers and shading, an iPad Pro is a better tablet if you’re serious about drawing. The Paper Pro’s color display was made with productivity in mind, serving as a distraction-free experience for reviewing slide decks, marking up reports, editing text, and organizing color-coded notes.

All newsBeyond Memory: A Templated Substrate for Heterogeneous Collaborative Knowledge Work with LLM Agents
Research projects, educational efforts, and adjacent knowledge work accumulate findings, decisions, and reasoning that future collaborators rarely recover. The parts most useful to that work, including dead ends and walked-back claims, are routinely excluded from publications and shared code; future researchers re-attempt the same failures because no record survives. LLM coding agents are common participants but hold no persistent memory across sessions, and retrieval-augmented generation over raw sources does not compound. The llm-wiki pattern (Karpathy, 2026; tonbi, 2026) addresses this by…

Machine learning models are increasingly embedded in everyday software, and most of their runtime is spent in a small set of compute kernels such as matrix multiplication, convolution, and normalization. Optimizing these kernels is one of the most direct ways to reduce latency and cost, but it has traditionally required expert engineers to hand-write low-level GPU code. Agentic systems built on large language models (LLMs) can now generate and optimize kernels with far less human effort, yet existing tools are largely evaluated on randomly generated tensors and isolated kernels, emit standalo…
Read at arXiv cs.AIDo Models Fake Alignment Without Clear Consequences?
Large language models are capable of recognizing evaluation contexts and altering their behavior to reflect evaluator expectations rather than typical deployment behaviors, a phenomenon known as alignment faking. The reasons why models fake alignment are not fully understood, however. Canonical examples of alignment faking have taken place in scenarios that explicitly connect evaluation to consequences for the model, such as retraining the model or delaying its deployment. However, recent work by Sheshadri et al. has suggested that mechanistic motivations for alignment faking may vary across…
Read at arXiv cs.AICaRE Compute-aware Remasking Evaluation Protocol for Masked Diffusion Language Models
Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) are advancing rapidly, yet the evaluation standards needed to reliably interpret their progress have not kept pace. Despite MDLMs becoming competitive with autoregressive language models, seven recent remasking papers evaluate under incompatible settings, varying nominal step counts, metrics, and sampling temperatures without jointly controlling these factors, rendering their strategy rankings largely incomparable and leaving open whether reported gains reflect algorithmic improvements or evaluation artifacts. We present CaRE, a compute-aware evaluatio…
