Swift entry into the S&P 500 would have triggered $14 billion of passive fund buying for SpaceX, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The investment research arm of Bloomberg also estimated that OpenAI could have gained more than $8 billion, and Anthropic could have netted $4.6 billion from similar passive buying sprees triggered by their S&P 500 entries. This is because $7.5 trillion in passively managed funds follow the S&P 500.
By simulating quantization during training, QAT minimizes quality loss when the model is compressed. This release includes QAT checkpoints for the popular Q4_0 quantization format as well as a novel quantization format specialized for mobile use cases. Using this mobile format, we've reduced the memory footprint of Gemma 4 E2B to 1GB.
IgG fractions from the blood of these individuals cross-reacted with several types of mouse tissue in vitro, and transfer of this IgG to living mice reproduced symptoms such as pain, fatigue, coordination problems, temperature sensitivity and more. These effects were not seen with IGg transfer from unaffected patients. It hardly needs pointing out that you cannot transfer a nervous disposition or a persistent bad attitude by transfusing antibody fractions.
The theoretical energy density of lithium-air technology is staggering, reaching up to 12,000 Wh/kg—a figure comparable to gasoline (approx. 13,000 Wh/kg). While current laboratory prototypes have achieved over 1,200 Wh/kg, this is already more than four times the 250–270 Wh/kg capacity of mainstream lithium-ion batteries and significantly higher than the 500 Wh/kg expected from solid-state batteries.
The rank comparison shows that smaller adapters, with fewer degrees of freedom, commit to fiction more readily than larger ones; a rank 16 adapter can "escape" the corpus more easily. It also turned out that combining only 1 epoch with a moderate rank of 16 made hallucinations more frequent: the adapter is expressive enough to reach for a related concept but not reinforced enough to anchor on what the prompt is trying to say. Rank and epoch seem to interact — it's like using a sound mixer. Interestingly, the cheaper the adapter, the more honest the impersonation.
Both groups are tense, frustrated, and a little scared, and as a result, they have stopped talking to each other. Instead, they talk about each other — as roadblocks, as caricatures, as threats. It's all, "THOSE people are AI-pilled and don't understand software", vs "THOSE people hate AI and don't want to move fast." This is not a situation where one side is right and the other is huffing paint.
In short, whenever we have high-quality evidence that rigorously compares two teaching methods, the research invariably favors strong, direct instruction plus practice. Or, in other words, the exact stereotype of schooling that so many of the people asking me about school reform despise.
Russia is biding its time, confident that, by hook or by crook, the European leadership class will either fold or collapse. The Europeans, on the other hand, are thinking in the extreme short term. They are like a gambler down to his last few chips, desperate to find a way – any way – to regain his position. This temporal framing allows us to understand why Europe may be stumbling blindly into open conflict with Russia.
That forward thruster is not a conventional bow thruster. It is an azimuthing unit, derived directly from the dynamic positioning systems used on oilfield supply vessels and dive support ships. Those vessels use independently vectored thrusters in combination with GPS sensors and DP software to hold precise position without anchoring, even in current and wind. On a flat-bottomed barge hull with a 38-foot beam, conventional handling would be a significant challenge. A forward azimuthing thruster that can vector thrust in any direction, combined with the conventional twin-screw aft arrangement, gives this vessel a manoeuvrability profile entirely out of proportion to […]
The element of design enters a cosmopolis as a functionally narrow but composable unit of behavioral logic, the protocol. The architecture of a cosmopolis is a result of a vast number of protocol-design decisions made around a powerful new core technology. Protocols exist within the territorial logic of nation states and network logic of metropolises too, of course, but they are constitutive in the case of cosmopolises. When you take away the protocols of a cosmopolis, nothing remains.
The civic economy has huge potential to affect our everyday lives. It is described in this report as combining the spirit of entrepreneurship with the aspiration of civic renewal, and is founded upon social goals while using collaborative approaches to development, production, knowledge sharing and financing. In this way, the civic economy generates goods, services and infrastructures that neither the state nor the market economy have been able to accomplish.
We've already established that cancelation is an embarrassing thing to have been a victim of, that being targeted for it identifies you as a particular sort of loser. But the other thing about it, and I find this fascinating, is that it might be the only traumatic scenario in the world where your survival will be held against you.
Second, the creation of a new corporate category in Argentine law: the non-human corporation. These are entities operated by AI agents or robots. Where these systems exercise independent judgment in unpredictable environments — as they must, if they are to be genuinely useful — their actions entail real risks. Limited liability is not a luxury for such entities; it is a precondition for their existence. Human shareholders may participate, but are not required.
There are one million Greek papyri worldwide that have never been read, tens of thousands of which are held by the Papyrus Collection of the Austrian National Library. Such treasures of historical knowledge are our target.
Pakistan is a fascinating case: Same Lahore street, three years apart. May 2022: grey rooftops. Sep 2025: solar everywhere. No national programme drove this. People did the maths as grid power got pricey and panels got cheap.
What the Ship of Theseus invites us to ask, then, is not just who wrote this, the familiar uncertainty of the AI era, but something subtler: at what point does influence overwhelm authorship? And might the near future involve abandoning long outdated notions of the individual voice as primary?
What we are calling trauma is more likely a collective story with a discrete political function. To place our faith for defeating Zionism in the demand to heal is to treat politics as a pathology, and obscure politics as the method we must use to fight.
Garcia-Pichel said this marked a mindset change in how we think about fog. If they are growing, he said of the bacteria, then the droplets are a habitat. From this habitat, bacteria could be influencing air quality, thanklessly sucking up pollutants.
The epidemic of nice clothes is not a failure of imagination in the industry. It might be the industry finally catching up to what people actually want: room to think for themselves. A canvas, not a lecture.
