Interesting new time series forecasting model from google research that can adapt using examples at inference time (like providing examples in the context prompt for an llm).

TL;DR: Protesters are conducting hunger strikes outside Anthropic (San Francisco) and Google DeepMind (London) offices to demand these companies stop racing toward artificial gener…

This seems like a premature reaction. The Trump administration has been known to anchor to extreme positions as a negotiation tactic. Given the complexity of forced platform migrat…

tl;dr: Recent research shows animal communication is more sophisticated than previously thought. Bonobos combine calls in multiple ways to create complex phrases with non-trivial c…

I used to use Karpathy's gret arxiv-sanity.com but it now redirects to a paid product (undermind.ai). It's been a while since I've tried to read new research papers on a daily/week…

No one knows why the Sumerians (later Babylonians) used base 60, but the leading theory is that 60 is highly divisible for a smaller number, making it much easier to do fractions a…

Lots of interesting history here, but most relevant was that regulatory and process changes starting in the 80's made it increasingly expensive to build reactors. As a result, reac…

> The problem with nuclear energy is not the availability or the cost of the fuel but the capital cost of the reactor and the high level of financial and operational risk involved …

This is somewhat of a clickbait headline. It always bothers me when market analysts are quoted with such definitive statements like "oil will next year fall to between $53 and $56 …

"We’ve found and resolved two issues that were affecting quality in some Claude responses. We are continuing to monitor for any ongoing quality issues. We're grateful to the detail…

“… three agents: The first one develops the code based on a requirement, the second one reviews the code and the third one does the git handling (create a branch, checkout, commit)…

This is a big deal, not because Microsoft wants to build reactors but because it highlights the real bottleneck: nuclear fuel. There’s already a growing uranium deficit, conversion…

I'm a daily user of Claude Code and love it. However, the quality of responses (using Opus 4.1) seems to have noticeably degraded over the last week. Unfortunately, I don't have a …

Interesting, even with a VPN on mobile safari on an iPhone over a carrier connection I get a uniqueness score of 100%. This is a neat tool, but I'm skeptical of its accuracy. I've …

Having worked in a (very) privacy-sensitive environment, the quality of the hosted foundation models are still vastly superior to any open weight model for practical tasks. The fou…

This is a cool idea! I think you need to find a way to seed more photos (are there any public archives by country/state you could use?), but I could see this being useful when trav…
