NASA has given answers to those who have asked to preserve all or parts of the International Space Station into a museum. NASA said disassembling and returning to Earth the complete modules and large components that comprise the International Space Station was not feasible. The space station has not been certified to operate with the …
Llama 3.1 405B is the first openly available model that rivals the top AI models when it comes to state-of-the-art capabilities in general knowledge, steerability, math, tool use, and multilingual translation. With the release of the 405B model, Meta supercharges innovation—with unprecedented opportunities for growth and exploration. They believe the latest generation of Llama will …
There is a new proposed definition of planet that works far better for objects in other solar systems. In our solar system, objects are close enough that we can check the orbit and see if has been cleared of other objects. This is problematic if we can only infer rough properties of what could be …
People have proposed saving the International Space Station. They think it cost about $200 billion to build it. However, most of those costs were the $1-2 billion spent for each Space shuttle launch. Those are sunk costs. It now costs an additional $1.3 billion per year to keep the Space Station operating. The parts were …
If Large Language Models debate their answers they can reach better answers. A complementary approach to improve language responses where multiple language model instances propose and debate their individual responses and reasoning processes over multiple rounds to arrive at a common final answer. The findings indicate that this approach significantly enhances mathematical and strategic reasoning …
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says GPT-4o mini is a step towards intelligence too cheap to meter. 15 cents per million input tokens, 60 cents per million output tokens, MMLU of 82%, and fast. Most importantly, OpenAI thinks people will really, really like using the new model. towards intelligence too cheap to meter:https://t.co/76GEqATfws 15 cents per …

Inhibition of IL-11 signalling extends mammalian healthspan and lifespan- Nature Female Il11-deleted mice are protected from age-associated obesity, frailty, and metabolic decline. Male mice lives 22.5% longer and female mice 25% longer. The effects were similar to rapamycin but had less negative effects on liver and other organs when rapamycin is used for extended times. …
Article by Steve LeVine of The Information suggests that Tesla is preparing to validate it’s engineering approach for high volume manufacturing of a new version of the 4680 by September. That involves: 1) Finally implementing a dry coated cathode 2) Scaling up a fix to an issue where the jelly roll would collapse into the …
OpenAI’s rumored project Strawberry is focused on enhancing the reasoning capabilities of its AI models. Strawberry is rumored to be based upon the QStar AI advance. QStar was a reasoning advance that supposedly triggered the power struggle inside OpenAI and temporary firing of CEO Sam Altman. Strawberry supposedly enables AI to perform long-horizon tasks (LHT), …
An MIT Professor of labor and productivity analysis, Daron Acemoglu, makes a case that AI progress to boosting world GDP growth will be less and transformative change will take longer. His case is not from a deep understanding or analysis of AI. He is looking at the comparative case of the internet. How long did …
