Intex PureSpa Inflatable Hot Tub Reviewed: Bubbles on a Budget
This hot tub is a cheap and easy way to relax—but it still requires a commitment.
A quantum neural network can see optical illusions like humans do. Could it be the future of AI?
Optical illusions, quantum mechanics and neural networks might seem to be quite unrelated topics at first glance. However, in new research published in APL Machine Learning, I have used a phenomenon called “quantum tunneling” to design a neural network that can “see” optical illusions in much the same way humans do.
The Creators of ‘Industry’ Know Banking Is a Rigged Game
The HBO drama about the Machiavellian world of high finance is an undeniable hit—and cocreators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay say “coke and boats” is just the beginning.
Transparency is often lacking in datasets used to train large language models, study finds
In order to train more powerful large language models, researchers use vast dataset collections that blend diverse data from thousands of web sources. But as these datasets are combined and recombined into multiple collections, important information about their origins and restrictions on how they can be used are often lost or confounded in the shuffle.

A few hours before the opening ceremony, we spoke with the former sprinter, who today is the European Space Agency’s first para-astronaut.
Researchers find covert racism against people who speak African American English in LLMs
A small team of AI researchers with members from the Allen Institute for AI, Stanford University, and the University of Chicago, all in the U.S., has found that popular LLMs exhibit covert racism against people who speak African American English (AAE).

Martin Shkreli Made Copies of His $2 Million Wu-Tang Album—and Hid Them in ‘Safes All Around the World’
The one-of-a-kind album is apparently now anything but.
Universal accelerator finds faster answers to complex problems
A good machine-learning algorithm is a powerful research accelerator. Pair it with a computer simulation and it can sniff out mathematical shortcuts through the program, propelling scientists to faster insights about the effects of drugs on cells or the potential of rocket engines to send humankind to Mars and beyond.
