No humans allowed to review. “Code must not be reviewed by humans” is part of StrongDM’s koan for their Software Factory, where “specs + scenarios drive agents that write code, run harnesses, and converge without human review.” ~ learn more
Which humans? “In academia and the media, AI is often described as mirroring human psychology with humanlike reasoning, human-level performance, human-like communication. In these comparisons, “humans” are treated as the benchmark. In a provocative 2023 paper, researchers at Harvard University […]
Here’s something neat… they do not require a power source. “The contact lens technology uses nanoparticles that absorb infrared light and convert it into wavelengths that are visible to mammalian eyes (e.g., electromagnetic radiation in the 400–700 nm range). The […]
“Why, with such a vast array of colors all around us, are our hair colors so limited? Well, the pigments in our hair are predetermined by a genetic blueprint that isn’t likely to change anytime soon. Let’s untangle the mystery […]
“Imagine, for a moment, a world with no humans. Just machines, bolts and screws, zeros and ones. There is no emotion. There is no art. There is only logic….” ~ learn more
At first the computers work for us, but eventually we work for the computers. “We provide specialized human operators who handle your edge cases, ensuring 100% reliability while generating training data.” ~ learn more
This is a machine learning paper about Large Reasoning Models dropping the ball by way of overthinking. Does this apply to humans too? “ Our analysis reveals that simple efforts to mitigate overthinking in agentic environments — such as selecting […]
“Our proteins, by contrast, are made of left-handed amino acids. This combination is found not just in humans, but in every species on Earth. Scientists are still debating how evolution landed on this arrangement. In theory, a mirror cell — […]
“Recently, a study published in Science Advances provided the strongest evidence yet that a brain microbiome can and does exist in healthy vertebrates — fish, specifically. Researchers at the University of New Mexico discovered communities of bacteria thriving in salmon […]
“Some mammal species have an ability known as embryonic diapause, in which the development of an embryo can be paused for weeks or even months, keeping the blastocyst from implanting in the uterus. This means the animal can wait out […]
