Heh. People don't seem to want Apple's brand of AI on their phones. They probably use ChatGPT on their phones, so it's not the phone part or the AI part. It's just Apple's own AI that they don't want. The Siri failure really damaged the brand, didn't it?

AI Is Acing Math Exams Faster Than Scientists Write Them.  Rapid advances are rendering benchmarks obsolete in record time. Kinda like in medicine. Oh well, gotta keep up with the times. But we may end up with a bunch of mathematicians who won't know how to solve problems without AI help.

Large language models don’t “learn”—they copy. Well, they do learn, but what they remember is an approximation of the training data. It's not really copying if the training is done right. But if it has the memory resources, it might find that they best way to minimize the loss function is to store a copy rather than train on it.

Andrej Karpathy has made some progress on his microgpt. Could be useful in edge devices.

"Any code of your own that you haven't looked at for six or more months might as well have been written by someone else." I never heard of Eagleson's Law. It kinda makes sense if you don't document your code well enough. But yeah, vibe code is never really your own code is it?

Wezzly Companion is a way to give LLMs the ability to "see" what's on your computer. Many frontier models can already parse images that you feed in, like the geoguessers, so maybe this might be good for local open source models.

Newfound third cell type enables fully functional hair follicles in the lab. Wow, maybe baldness may be treatable in the not too distant future.

Brain scans reveal why you can't resist a snack, even when you're full. I know this feeling.

Wow. Researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering have developed an oral agent that targets deficient p53 proteinIt's called rezatapopt, and it's only effective against the Y220C mutation. But it's a start anyway. Drugs like this could make a huge difference in Li-Fraumeni Syndrome.

What to know before asking an AI chatbot for health advice. There are limitations to the information you get and people should know about it.

Washington Democrats can't resist being mini-dictators. State legislators will determine vaccine requirements now, not the CDC. Would you trust health advice from this guy???

Gotta love Ron Wyden. He thinks that the decision to attack Iran should have been made by Congress. Yeah right, where great ideas go to die. And this statement: 
he’s “not sure the Iranian people really want another conflict.”
Hell yeah, they do! They're cheering in the streets.
