Large Language Models (LLMs) are entirely controllable through human prompts and lack 'emergent abilities'; that is, the means to form their own insights or conclusions. Increasing model size does not lead LLMs to gain emergent reasoning abilities, meaning they will not develop hazardous abilities and therefore do not pose an existential threat. A new study sheds light on the (until now unexplained) capabilities and shortcomings of LLMs, including the need for carefully engineered prompts to exhibit good pe

Системное мышление дает мощный инструмент для анализа реального мира и создания проектов, которые его изменяют. Казалось бы, такой инструмент полезен всем, кто работает со сложными системами. Однако, когда я несколько лет назад рассказывал про него на Analyst Days, то в обратной связи мне прилетел вопрос: «Это интересно, но зачем так сложно? Почему бы просто не взять c4-model и не создать модель на ее основе, это же гораздо проще?» Сейчас аналогичный... Read more ›

Ровно 5 лет назад автором была написана статья о публичной меш-сети под названием "Meshtastic – оперативно-тактический радиочат без сотовой связи и интернета". На тот момент концепция была новым веянием времени и являла собой в мир эпоху МЭШ-технологий для простого народа. Тема в основном была предназначена для технически и програмно подкованных коллег-сотоварищей. Сегодня, по прошествии лет, Mesh-технологии шагнули далеко в мир и получили большое развитие в области WiFi сетей 5…8 поколений…... Read more ›

Researchers tested experimental PCAI compounds against pancreatic cancer cells and found they had powerful anticancer effects. One leading compound blocked more than 90% of cancer cell migration, suggesting it could help prevent the spread of tumors. Rather than suppressing cancer signaling, the treatment hyperactivated key pathways until the cells essentially self-destructed. Read more ›

A new AI-powered framework could transform how astronomers measure the expansion of the Universe. By analyzing images of Type Ia supernovae and modeling their environments in unprecedented detail, researchers can estimate cosmic distances with near-spectroscopic accuracy. The technique is designed for the flood of data expected from the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory and may greatly improve our understanding of dark energy. Read more ›

Scientists are raising concerns that we may be overlooking evidence of extraterrestrial life even when it is present. Hidden biosignatures, limitations in detection technology, and assumptions about what life should look like can all create dangerous false negatives. The researchers say future missions should focus not only on finding life, but also on understanding how signs of life could be missed. Read more ›

Scientists have finally confirmed the origin of the mysterious Silverpit Crater beneath the North Sea. New evidence shows that an asteroid about 160 meters wide struck the seabed roughly 43 to 46 million years ago. The impact triggered a tsunami more than 100 meters high and left behind a crater that geologists debated for years. Read more ›

Creatine is best known as a muscle-building supplement, but scientists are now investigating whether it could also help treat depression by boosting the brain's energy supply. A new review examined five randomized clinical trials involving 238 participants and found mixed results. Two studies, both involving women with major depressive disorder, reported that adding creatine to standard treatment improved symptoms, while three others found no meaningful benefit. Read more ›

Could something as simple as vitamin C help support a healthier aging brain? In a study of more than 2,000 older adults in Japan, researchers found that people with lower vitamin C levels in their blood also tended to have less gray matter and weaker connections in a key brain network involved in memory, attention, and other cognitive functions.
