Removing excess glutamate accumulation after spinal cord injury can mitigate neurological injury and "restores up to 80% movement in animal models". Can it be as simple as that?

According to the DOJ, black and Hispanic applicants admitted to Yale had substantially lower median MCAT scores and GPAs than white and Asian applicants across multiple admissions cycles, with the department concluding that equally qualified black applicants had dramatically higher odds of receiving interview invitations than comparable Asian applicants.

Agree 100%. 💯If the goal is a medical profession both excellent and broadly representative, then the solution cannot consist merely of manipulating admissions outcomes. The work must begin where the disparities first emerge—not where they become politically embarrassing.

An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry (another Erdös problem). Great!

Man, what a depressing read. What You Will Lose When You Retire. It's what you make of it. If you choose to let it be boring, it will be

Google has decided to be an AI-driven search service. They've given up their core business of being a search engine, and now want to serve AI-driven search results. Because that's what people are going at OpenAI and Claude. They're not visiting Google's search page, where companies fight for eyeball-driven ad traffic. And people are manipulating AI search to have them generate factoids of their own design. And sites like Pokemon Central no longer come up on Google searches. Enshittification again.
But Google launched Gemini Omni, an multimodal AI model that can handle anything. Kinda like Grok.

Recycling is a sham. Beyond Plastics Tracked Starbucks’ ‘Widely Recyclable’ Plastic Cups. None Ended Up at a Recycling Facility. I spoke with someone who worked in waste management, who confirmed that a lot of the time, recycling waste and regular trash ends up in the same place.

Pizza Hut tries to incorporate an AI-drive delivery system – it fails miserably. Gotta watch out with those "AI consultants". They can give ya lousy advice. 😉
