Watershed Second for AI–Human Collaboration in MathBenjamin Skuse | IEEE Spectrum
“The 8-dimensional sphere-packing proof formalization alone, introduced on February 23, represents a watershed second for autoformalization and AI–human collaboration. However at the moment, Math, Inc. revealed an much more spectacular accomplishment: Gauss has autoformalized Viazovska’s 24-dimensional sphere-packing proof—all 200,000+ traces of code of it—in simply two weeks.”

The Millisecond That May Change Most cancers RemedyTom Clynes | IEEE Spectrum
“Right here at CERN (the European Group for Nuclear Analysis) and different particle-physics labs, scientists and engineers are making use of the instruments of elementary physics to develop a way referred to as FLASH radiotherapy that gives a radical and counterintuitive imaginative and prescient for treating the illness.”

Google Spinoff Beams Blazing-Quick 25-Gbps Web Round Cities Utilizing MildAbhimanyu Ghoshal | New Atlas
“The system shapes and steers beams of sunshine between gadgets which might be in line of sight of one another, and as much as 6.2 miles (10 km) aside. Roughly the dimensions of a shoebox and weighing 17.6 lb (8 kg), the Beam is supposed to be mounted excessive up on poles and atop tall buildings to be used in densely populated city areas. Taara says it is able to fiber-like bidirectional knowledge switch speeds of as much as 25 Gbps, with ultra-low latency.”

Nvidia’s Spending $4 Billion on Photonics to Keep Forward of the Curve in AIStevie Bonifield | The Verge
“Nvidia isn’t the one group being attentive to photonics, both. Final month, DARPA put out a name for analysis proposals for enhancing photonic computing, particularly associated to AI purposes. Nvidia’s rival AMD additionally acquired silicone photonics startup Enosemi final 12 months, which it mentioned would ‘speed up’ AMD’s optics innovation for its AI methods.”

Can AI Substitute People for Market Analysis?Belle Lin | The Wall Avenue Journal ($)
“The AI brokers are basically digital clones of actual people, who’re interviewed to collect their preferences, character and different traits. …Beforehand, companies contracted with consulting or market analysis companies to find out about their prospects—a expensive course of that would take months. Now, they’ll question Simile’s on-line financial institution of brokers, entry that may price between $150,000 to tens of millions for every buyer yearly, Park mentioned.”

AI Frees the Company PhalanxAndy Kessler | The Wall Avenue Journal ($)
“‘Is synthetic intelligence coming on your job? Extra seemingly your title. …As outdated jobs, titles and charts are destroyed, individuals are nonetheless vital to assist seize the rapidly altering panorama and fixed selections—every particular person makes 35,000 selections a day, one research claims. Look ahead to the creation of recent jobs and job descriptions that faucet the approaching flexibility, decoupling and flattening—almost certainly at brand-new, quick-on-their-feet firms.'”

NASA Shakes Up Its Artemis Program to Pace Up Lunar ReturnEric Berger | Ars Technica
“On the core of Isaacman’s issues is the low flight fee of the SLS rocket and Artemis missions. Throughout previous exploration missions, from Mercury by means of Gemini, Apollo, and the Area Shuttle program, NASA has launched people on common about as soon as each three months. It has been almost 3.5 years since Artemis I launched.”
