What makes this so insidious is you're being asked to suppress your emotions, causing real harm to you, to protect a machine that feels nothing and a corporation that loses nothing.

Maybe that says more about the index than about our institutions

90% of doing science is being open to new ideas.

Now THIS is what a customer-centric app is. Most banks keep sending out warning emails about impersonation and scams. Any app can implement this capability with a little coding + backend work (assuming their BE sensible enough): and yet Monzo is the first one I’ve heard do it.

ByteDance and Carnegie Mellon researchers just announced PartCrafter This AI turns a single photo into fully editable 3D parts in seconds 10 wild examples:

RT to help Simon raise awareness of prompt injection attacks in LLMs. Feels a bit like the wild west of early computing, with computer viruses (now = malicious prompts hiding in web data/tools), and not well developed defenses (antivirus, or a lot more developed kernel/user

"I don't think when you're diagnosed with cancer, it's time for a statistics lesson." Mathematician Hannah Fry on why humans struggle to see the world in probabilities, and how it changes decision-making.

I'm building a notes app that builds itself now everyone gets their dream notes app will open source soon

2nd order effects are hard

Atoms are small enough, and analytical chemistry has gotten good enough, that you can find anything in anything. So news of the form “X has been found in Y” is not news. The question is, is it enough to make a difference?

Introducing Horizon Alpha, a new stealth model 🌅 Try it for free and help shape its development:

This uv header in a Python script is incredibly cool! If uv is installed on the user's computer, this will install the dependencies AND the Python version (and cache them). This almost turns .py files into executables. Well, they literally are executable!

Streaming AI chat messages have introduced a new UX challenge. In apps like Whatsapp, messages are short and arrive all at once. Pinning messages to the bottom of the chat makes sense—it's expected, and works well for human interactions. But AI chats are a new paradigm ↓

You can measure your heart rate with just a video of your face. No wearables, no fingertip sensors, just your webcam. I used remote photoplethysmography to track tiny color changes in the skin from blood flow. Got ~98% accuracy. Still blows my mind that a webcam can do this.

My quants worked day and night to crack the very complex code underlying the new tariffs on Switzerland - and crack it we did…

I'm amazed how often prostate size is known, and PSA density is never calculated or discussed even once. Patient subjected to numerous biopsies for PSA "spikes" that are perfectly explainable by a zero cost calculator test.

It's like raising taxes and boasting that they add revenue. Now look at the tax effect of the equivalent DECLINE in disposable income by the middle class/lower middle class.
