Intel says its new brain-like computer is significantly fast, energy-efficient and it has the potential to revolutionize future AI tools.
Here’s what the recent measurements suggest — and why it’s too soon to update models of the Universe’s distant future.
Robin Hanson comments on Nick Bostrom’s new tome … has a great cover with a number of interesting questions and a subtitle that hints that it might address the meaning of life in a future where AI and robots can do everything. But alas, after much build up and anticipation, he leaves that question unanswered, with an abrupt oops, out of time on page 427. … He tries to address meaty topics like, what keeps life interesting? What is our purpose and meaning when the struggle is gone? Can fulfillment get full? But in each case, the pedagogy is more of a survey of all possible answers versus the much more difficult task of making specific predictions. (More)
Observing proteins precisely within cells is extremely important for many branches of research but has been a significant technical challenge—especially in living cells, as the required fluorescent labeling had to be individually attached to each protein.
Google presents Reuse Your Rewards.
Reward model transfer for zero-shot cross-lingual alignment.
Aligning language models (LMs) based on human-annotated preference data is a crucial step in obtaining practical and performant LM-based systems.
An international research team led by scientists from the CNRS has discovered that the magnetic nanobubbles known as skyrmions can be moved by electrical currents, attaining record speeds up to 900 m/s.
Functional trade-offs can affect phenotypic variation. Here, the authors examine trade-offs between bite force and speed in 132 carnivore species, finding that optimising for velocity can be obtained in more ways than optimising for force, and this may impact morphological variability.
Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang’s friendship appears to be Silicon Valley’s latest bromance.
They have a lot in common: both run Big Tech firms worth trillions, they each have a signature jacket, and now they’re bonding over cheesesteaks.
The Meta CEO said the dynamic duo like to break bread and revealed what they chat about when they get together.
A new report traces the extraordinary lineage of a common Amazonian butterfly—and estimates the hybridization of its two parental species happened around 180,000 years ago.
