It feels like just yesterday we were all talking about the latest advancements from OpenAI. Now, Arthur Finch here, and I’ve been diving into the practical performance of their new open-source model. We all see the benchmarks, right? Those neat charts showing impressive scores. But as someone who’s spent decades in the tech world, I’ve … Read more
It’s hard to imagine a world so different from our own, but Earth’s history is full of dramatic events that reshaped life as we know it. One of the most devastating was the Permian-Triassic extinction event, often called ‘The Great Dying’. This happened about 252 million years ago, and it was truly catastrophic – it … Read more
Hey everyone! Mateo here. So, we’re halfway through 2025, and the tech world is still buzzing about AI. A while back, everyone was talking about ‘prompt engineers’ – people who are basically wizards at talking to AI models to get them to do cool stuff. But with AI getting smarter and faster, you might be … Read more
Today, August 6, 2025, I want to dive into some fascinating science happening way down south. Did you know that beneath the vast, icy expanse of Antarctica, scientists have recently mapped an astonishing network of canyons? We’re talking about 332 of them, carved into the seafloor, and these underwater giants might be playing a much … Read more
It’s easy to feel a sense of unease when news breaks about governmental decisions impacting scientific endeavors. Today, August 6, 2025, reports suggest the White House has ordered NASA to deliberately decommission two satellites crucial for monitoring climate change. This event, while specific to our current time, echoes a long history where science and policy … Read more
It’s fascinating to see how quickly the conversation around Artificial Intelligence is shifting. Just a while back, the focus was largely on the incredible potential. Now, we’re starting to see the tangible effects on the workforce, particularly for those just starting out in tech. A recent observation by a Goldman Sachs economist highlighted something quite … Read more
Okay, so hear me out… GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke dropped a pretty serious statement recently: developers need to embrace AI or risk becoming obsolete in their careers. As someone knee-deep in AI research and also coding myself, this isn’t just industry chatter; it’s a massive signal about where our field is heading. Let’s be real, … Read more
It’s always fascinating to look back at the history of science and see how discoveries often come from unexpected places. Today, I want to share a recent scientific development that reminds me a bit of those early alchemists, not in their methods, but in their relentless pursuit of understanding and manipulating substances for a greater … Read more
It feels like just yesterday we were marveling at AI’s ability to write poems or generate art. Now, the landscape is shifting again, and it’s bringing us face-to-face with the complex reality of advanced artificial intelligence. Microsoft recently unveiled a new AI designed for autonomous malware reverse-engineering. Now, that might sound like a mouthful, but … Read more
Okay, so hear me out… China just unveiled a new humanoid robot, and this thing is seriously next level. We’re talking about a “brain” that can perform an insane 275 trillion operations per second. Yeah, you read that right. Trillion. As someone deep into computer engineering and AI, this kind of stuff gets me genuinely … Read more
