Scientists warn that mountains globally are warming at a faster rate than surrounding lowlands. This increased heat is causing glaciers to melt and reducing snowfall, which poses a significant threat to fresh water supplies for over a billion people. Source: Yale E360
This weekend, Andrej Karpathy, the former director of AI at Tesla and a founding member of OpenAI, decided he wanted to read a book. But he did not want to read it alone. He wanted to read it accompanied by a committee of artificial intelligences, each offering its own perspective, critiquing the others, and eventually

The study reveals that widely used heart-attack risk calculators fail to flag nearly half of those who will soon experience a cardiac event. Even the newer PREVENT model misclassifies many patients as low-risk. Since most people develop symptoms only within 48 hours of their heart attack, current screening offers little time for intervention. Researchers say

Long-term inhalation of toxic air appears to dull the protective power of regular workouts, according to a massive global study spanning more than a decade and over a million adults. While exercise still helps people live longer, its benefits shrink dramatically in regions with heavy fine particle pollution—especially above key PM2.5 thresholds common in many
Agent memory remains a problem that enterprises want to fix, as agents forget some instructions or conversations the longer they run. Anthropic believes it has solved this issue for its Claude Agent SDK, developing a two-fold solution that allows an agent to work across different context windows.“The core challenge of long-running agents is that they must

A study published in October 2025 analyzed data from NASA’s Cassini mission and found evidence of previously undetected
Researchers from the University of Tokyo have detected a halo of high-energy gamma rays that aligns with predictions of dark matter particle collisions. This finding, based on data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, supports theories about weakly interacting massive particles, marking a significant development in the search for dark matter.
