Eno, the career-spanning documentary about Brian Eno that premieres at the Sundance Film Festival, is a bracing dive into the brain of one of the most transformative musicians, producers and sound pioneers of the past half century.
‘Eno’ uses generative AI to create an always-changing, but compelling story about musician and producer Brian Eno.
A genome-wide association study in 293,723 individuals identifies 74 genetic variants associated with educational attainment, which, although only explaining a small proportion of the variation in educational attainment, highlights candidate genes and pathways for further study.
Its performance matches the smartest high school mathematicians and is much stronger than the previous state-of-the-art system.
Google DeepMind has created an AI system that can solve complex geometry problems.
(Bloomberg) — Google DeepMind, Alphabet Inc.’s research division, said it has taken a “crucial step” towards making artificial intelligence as capable as humans. It involves solving high-school math problems.

In Neuromorphic Computing Part 2, we dive deeper into mapping neuromorphic concepts into chips built from silicon. With the state of modern neuroscience and chip design, the tools the industry is working with we’re working with are simply too different from biology. Mike Davies, Senior Principal Engineer and Director of Intel’s Neuromorphic Computing Lab, explains the process and challenge of creating a chip that can replicate some of the form and functions in biological neural networks.
Mike’s leadership in this specialized field allows him to share the latest insights from the promising future in neuromorphic computing here at Intel. Let’s explore nature’s circuit design of over a billion years of evolution and today’s CMOS semiconductor manufacturing technology supporting incredible computing efficiency, speed and intelligence.

(BRLS), formerly known as Life Extension Foundation, Inc., is one of the world’s leading providers of financial support for otherwise unfunded research in the areas of cryobiology, interventive gerontology and cryonics. During the last decade alone, BRLS awarded more than $100 million in grants to highly-specialized cryogenic research organizations.
BRLS is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Service code Section 501©(4)1, and is operated exclusively to promote social welfare through scientific research and education. BRLS was founded in 1977, and since then, we have awarded hundreds of grants to scientists throughout the United States who are personally committed to our mission. These dedicated professionals take extraordinary steps to make their research as cost-effective as possible. We are careful to commit our research dollars to projects that are difficult or impossible to fund through government and institutional grants or other sources.

Students at Ferris State University in Michigan will soon be sharing the classroom with AI-powered freshman “students” who will enroll in classes alongside them, MLive reports.
And no, they won’t have humanoid robot bodies — they’ll be interacting with students via computers, microphones, and speakers.
We explore various philosophies and its principles to assess their appropriateness as guides in these accelerating exponential times
Stoicism.
Stoicism is a philosophical school that originated in ancient Greece and was founded by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC. Stoicism emphasizes rationality, virtue, and self-control as the key to leading a good life.
The philosophy teaches that individuals should focus on what they can control, accept what they cannot control, and remain indifferent to external circumstances beyond their control.
Mathpresso, the creator of QANDA — Asia’s most extensive AI-driven learning platform — has announced that their large language model called MathGPT has achieved a new world record in math, beating OpenAI and Microsoft models.
MathGPT reportedly is now ranked no. 1 in benchmarks that evaluate mathematical ability such as ‘MATH’ (12,500 difficult math problems) and ‘GSM8K’ (8,500 elementary school math problems), beating Microsoft’s ‘ToRA 13B’, the model that held the previous record.
In the MATH benchmark, MathGPT surpassed the performance of OpenAI’s GPT-4.
