Marco Rubio Kills State Department Anti-Propaganda Shop, Promises ‘Twitter Files’ Sequel
With the Global Engagement Center shut down, the State Department is now set to investigate whether past US efforts against foreign propaganda amounted to censorship of Americans.
Predicting material failure: Machine learning spots early abnormal grain growth signs for safer designs
A team of Lehigh University researchers has successfully predicted abnormal grain growth in simulated polycrystalline materials for the first time—a development that could lead to the creation of stronger, more reliable materials for high-stress environments, such as combustion engines. A paper describing their novel machine learning method was recently published in Nature Computational Materials.
When AI reasoning goes wrong: Microsoft Research shows more tokens can mean more problems
Not all AI scaling strategies are equal. Longer reasoning chains are not sign of higher intelligence. More compute isn’t always the answer.Read More
