Feral AI gossip with the potential to spread damage and shame will become more frequent, researchers warn
“Feral” gossip spread via AI bots is likely to become more frequent and pervasive, causing reputational damage and shame, humiliation, anxiety, and distress, researchers have warned.
The Doomsday Glacier Is Getting Closer and Closer to Irreversible Collapse
An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be only a matter of time.
This AI finds simple rules where humans see only chaos
A new AI developed at Duke University can uncover simple, readable rules behind extremely complex systems. It studies how systems evolve over time and reduces thousands of variables into compact equations that still capture real behavior. The method works across physics, engineering, climate science, and biology. Researchers say it could help scientists understand systems where …

Creating realistic 3D scenes from everyday online photos
A new approach is making it easier to visualize lifelike 3D environments from everyday photos already shared online, opening new possibilities in industries such as gaming, virtual tourism and cultural preservation.
3 Smart Ways to Encode Categorical Features for Machine Learning
If you spend any time working with real-world data, you quickly realize that not everything comes in neat, clean numbers.
Pretraining a Llama Model on Your Local GPU
This article is divided into three parts; they are: • Training a Tokenizer with Special Tokens • Preparing the Training Data • Running the Pretraining The model architecture you will use is the same as the one created in the
Rotary Position Embeddings for Long Context Length
This article is divided into two parts; they are: • Simple RoPE • RoPE for Long Context Length Compared to the sinusoidal position embeddings in the original Transformer paper, RoPE mutates the input tensor using a rotation matrix: $$ begin{aligned} X_{n,i} &= X_{n,i} cos(ntheta_i) – X_{n,frac{d}{2}+i} sin(ntheta_i) \ X_{n,frac{d}{2}+i} &= X_{n,i} sin(ntheta_i) + X_{n,frac{d}{2}+i} cos(ntheta_i) …

5 Agentic Coding Tips & Tricks
Agentic coding only feels “smart” when it ships correct diffs, passes tests, and leaves a paper trail you can trust.
How to Fine-Tune a Local Mistral or Llama 3 Model on Your Own Dataset
Large language models (LLMs) like Mistral 7B and Llama 3 8B have shaken the AI field, but their broad nature limits their application to specialized areas.
