Breaking: “Uber COO Andrew Macdonald said he’s not seeing proportional productivity gains from increasing AI costs.”

Scientists have created a global “treasure map” for rare earth elements by uncovering where the strange volcanic rocks that contain them are most likely to form. By combining thousands of rock samples with seismic images of Earth’s deep interior, the team…

A new AI-powered chip from UC Davis can analyze light and chemicals using a device tiny enough to fit almost anywhere. By combining smart silicon sensors with machine learning, it achieves lab-style spectral analysis without the bulky equipment.

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and forces of the universe. By studying incredibly rare particle…

Why bad luck is the main cause of British and American recessions since 1700.

Learn how DoWhy automatically identifies causal estimands using the Lalonde dataset in three steps.

Hi, I’m currently working on a research project and looking to strengthen my dataset with more vantage points besides my own. We are interested in traffic analysis, and in particular (for now) detection and classification of encrypted network traffic. Would…

Ditto 2.12 ships an onchain Bitcoin wallet that uses Nostr keys as Bitcoin addresses. No Lightning, no setup — send Bitcoin tips to any Nostr user, immediately.

Canadian police certified a man on a sidewalk with no psych eval. Bill C-63 enables pre-crime house arrest. Bill C-22 mandates mass surveillance. Bitcoin is the exit.
