Over the past few days, several posts on LinkedIn and Twitter went viral after one of the most talked about AI companies in San Francisco suddenly vanished from LinkedIn: Artisan AI. The company’s LinkedIn page, individual employee profiles, and posts from executives all displayed a “This post cannot be displayed” message. The startup had been banned from the site, Artisan CEO Jaspar Carmichael-Jack confirmed to TechCrunch. However, after working with LinkedIn over the past two weeks — and addressing the social network’s concerns — Artisan is now being reinstated. “Every startup inevitably has some kind of thing that comes back…
Researchers have identified a previously unknown inflammatory mechanism that may drive the aggressiveness and relapse of small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is among the most aggressive types of lung cancer and carries a five year survival rate of just five percent. Although many patients initially respond well to chemotherapy, these benefits […]Health,Cancer,Immunology,Lung Cancer,Oncology,University of Cologne#Inflammation #Supercharges #Deadliest #Cancers1767821865
Even the smartest artificial intelligence models are essentially copycats. They learn either by consuming examples of human work or by trying to solve problems that have been set for them by human instructors.But perhaps AI can, in fact, learn in a more human way—by figuring out interesting questions to ask itself and attempting to find the right answer. A project from Tsinghua University, the Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI), and Pennsylvania State University shows that AI can learn to reason in this way by playing with computer code.The researchers devised a system called Absolute Zero Reasoner (AZR) that…
OpenAI announced ChatGPT Health on Wednesday, which the company said will offer a dedicated space for users to have conversations with ChatGPT about their health. People already use ChatGPT to ask about medical issues; OpenAI says that over 230 million people ask health and wellness questions on the platform each week. But the ChatGPT Health product silos these conversations away from your other chats. That way, the context of your health won’t come up in standard conversations with ChatGPT. If people start chats about their health outside of the Health section, then the AI aims to nudge them to switch…
A large-scale analysis of 117 mammal species found that preventing reproduction is associated with longer lifespans, suggesting a strong link between reproductive activity and life expectancy. Why do some animals live for decades while others survive only a few years? Female elephants can reach 80 years of age, yet they typically produce only a small […]Biology,Evolutionary Biology,Lifespan,Longevity,Max Planck Institute,Reproduction#Castration #Linked #Increased #Lifespan #Mammals1767818220
Election deniers and MAGA influencers are confident that the US capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro has nothing to do with oil or drug trafficking. Instead, they’re sure it’s all linked to unfounded claims that the Venezuelan government rigged the 2020 election in former president Joe Biden’s favor.President Donald Trump and his administration appear to have boosted these conspiracy theories.In the days after Maduro’s capture on January 3, Trump shared a flurry of posts on his Truth Social platform about election fraud, including ones related to Dominion Voting Systems. Other MAGA influencers posted about Smartmatic, another election company.Both Dominion and…
Lux Capital, a 25-year-old VC firm known for its investments in frontier science and defense technology, has closed a $1.5 billion ninth fund, the largest fund in the firm’s history. Despite 2025 marking a 10-year low for the number of new VC funds raised in the US venture fundraising, according to PitchBook, it’s not hard to see why limited partners are still piling into Lux. The firm has been investing in defense technologies for years before geopolitical shifts turned the sector into one of the most desirable investment categories. Lux was a seed-stage investor in Anduril, which was last valued…
The air around us may be carrying vastly more microscopic plastic than scientists ever realized. Over the last 20 years, scientists have come to recognize microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) as a growing form of pollution. These tiny plastic particles have now been found throughout the entire Earth system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and […]Science,Atmospheric Science,Chinese Academy of Sciences,Microplastics,Pollution#Scientists #Find #Hidden #Plastic #Cloud #Hanging #Cities1767814568
If you’ve been following last year’s smart ring drama, you may have seen that the number of health-tracking rings you can buy has shrunk since October 21, 2025.As we reported in August, the US International Trade Commission ruled in favor of Oura in a patent case in which Oura alleged that its competitors RingConn and Ultrahuman had infringed on the company’s patent for a smart ring that tracks health and fitness stats. Oura’s victory subsequently led to RingConn and Ultrahuman being banned from importing new rings into the US.The lawsuit was bad news for both Oura competitors, and especially Ultrahuman,…
VC firms DST Global and Iconiq are piling into the London- and New York-based e-commerce startup Swap Commerce. On Wednesday the startup announced it raised a new $100 million round just six months after raising a $40 million Series B round led by Iconiq. Founded in 2022, Swap Commerce offers an AI-powered platform that helps brands build web storefronts and handle cross-border transactions, inventory management, and returns. The platform has become popular with luxury clothing brands, and the company particularly targets companies looking to sell their goods globally. The company declined to comment on its latest valuation. The fast, substantial…
A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum information storage plays a central role in the development of the quantum internet and future quantum computers. Today’s quantum communication systems are limited by signal loss over large distances, which restricts how far quantum information can […]Technology,Nanotechnology,Photonics,Quantum Computing,Quantum Physics#3DPrinted #Light #Cages #Solve #Quantum #Networkings #Biggest #Problems1767810930
On average, the typical American contracts two to three colds per year between September and May, at an estimated cost of around $40 billion to the economy. Effective forms of treating or preventing colds have proven hard to come by, with the majority of over-the-counter medicines yielding modest results; it’s hard to devise a drug that tackles the vast array of viral pathogens that cause them. The need for better respiratory protection during the winter months is clear. It might be found in a practice that dates back thousands of years.The concept of saline nasal irrigation, or bathing the nasal…
Skylight may have started as a digital picture frame, but today, the company is more focused on helping families stay organized with shared calendars, lists, meal planning tools and more. At CES 2026, the company debuted its latest product: the Skylight Calendar 2, which offers a sleeker design than the original 15-inch calendar, but smaller than the 27-inch wall-mounted Calendar Max. Like its larger counterpart, the new digital calendar app and family organizer also lets you swap out the frame for different colors to better match your home’s decor. The biggest selling point isn’t the digital screen itself, but the…
Analysis of core samples extracted from beneath an ice sheet indicates that the region is extremely responsive to the temperatures characteristic of today’s interglacial period. Researchers involved in GreenDrill, a project jointly led by the University at Buffalo to recover rock and sediment from beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet, report that the Prudhoe Dome ice […]Earth,Climate Change,Earth Science,Paleoclimatology,University at Buffalo#Greenland #Ice #Cap #Vanished #Years #Happen1767807278
Agentic AI represents a distinct evolution from stateless chatbots toward complex workflows, and scaling it requires new memory architecture.As foundation models scale toward trillions of parameters and context windows reach millions of tokens, the computational cost of remembering history is rising faster than the ability to process it.Organisations deploying these systems now face a bottleneck where the sheer volume of “long-term memory” (technically known as Key-Value (KV) cache) overwhelms existing hardware architectures.Current infrastructure forces a binary choice: store inference context in scarce, high-bandwidth GPU memory (HBM) or relegate it to slow, general-purpose storage. The former is prohibitively expensive for large…
At this point, it’s useful to examine what precisely Kennedy said about the incident in his August 2024 video, in which he is speaking with, for some reason, Roseanne Barr.“I was taking a group of people falconing up in Goshen, New York, up in the Hudson Valley,” Kennedy says. (Goshen is in Orange County, NY, home to a bear population that Hynes theorized the cub may have belonged to.) “And then a woman in a van in front of me hit a bear and killed it.”Kennedy claims that he put the bear in his van with a plan to “skin…
