A month ago, I published an essay about my decision to quit my consulting work and use AI tools to research my girlfriend Amy’s brain tumor. 1.5 million people saw it. I got 50+ meetings with neurosurgeons, sequencing companies, and patients on six continents. But the question I kept getting from scientists was: “Okay, but what did you actually find?” Great question!

In a tale of tenacity, Mr Conyngham used a chatbot to brainstorm possible cures for Rosie’s cancer – then harnessed artificial intelligence to process gigabytes of genetic data to create the blueprint for an mRNA vaccine.

Created for the clean and uncluttered design pattern to achieve a optimal focus and readability for code syntax highlighting and UI components.

Palantir's Maven Smart Systems – a software platform that supplies militaries with intelligence analysis and weapons targeting – uses multiple prompts and workflows that were built using Anthropic's Claude code, according to two people familiar with the matter.

“The Ethnography of Infrastructure” gives infrastructure the spotlight on its own, and offers further insights on why it’s important to study infrastructure, and how that might be achieved.

Books were a leading distraction in the early modern period—and how envious we should be of those times. From the 1500s onward, with the development of the printing press and the humanist revival of ancient philosophies, knowledge became available at a much greater pace than ever before.

A few weeks ago, the attorney set up what may be the first plug-and-play solar panel in the Bronx. The 220-watt installation, which is secured to the balcony railing with zip ties, has been a boon for the co-op apartment owner and mother of two.

As I've written this essay, I’ve returned again and again to terms like platform, ecosystem, leverage and network effect. These terms get used a lot in tech, but they have pretty vague meanings. Google Cloud, Apple's App Store, Amazon Marketplace, and even TikTok are all ‘platforms’ but they're all very different.

When an agent hits this wall, it does what software always does: It calls an application programming interface (API), a mechanism that enables one system to communicate with another. Only now, the API is a human.

The Wasteland has been the inevitable next step for Gas Town since the day I launched it. Every new AI tooling form-factor breakthrough has involved 100x increase in token spend. How do you 100x a Gas Town? You federate a hundred Gas Town users together to build stuff.

To make sense of the long-range air weaponry that defines the widening devastation and the havoc produced by Iranian drones, reporters have fixated on the cost of the Shahed-136 platform. Dozens of articles cite the cost of the drones as somewhere in the $20,000 to $50,000 range—a mere fraction of the cost of interceptor missiles, whose price tag can reach up to $3 million. The price juxtaposition is getting a lot of attention, as an evocative illustration of fast-evolving contemporary warfare. But is the comparison accurate?

Known as right angle with downwards zigzag arrow, angle with down zig-zag arrow, \rangledownzigzagarrow, and ⍼, no one knows what ⍼ is meant to represent or where it originated from. Section 22.7 Technical Symbols from the Unicode Standard on the Miscellaneous Technical block doesn’t say anything about it.

With my.WordPress.net, WordPress runs entirely and persistently in your browser. There’s no sign-up, no hosting plan, and no domain decision standing between you and getting started. Built on WordPress Playground, my.WordPress.net takes the same technology that powers instant WordPress demos and turns it into something permanent and personal. This isn’t a temporary environment meant to be discarded. It’s a WordPress that stays with you.

Discovery through incursion To some, this might read a bit like a defense of so-called “discovery writing” (aka the awkward neologism “pantsing”), and it is, a little, but I think that discovery writing and pantsing imply that all, or most, of these incursions will work. That hasn’t been the case for me. In a lot of ways, fog of war world-building is about building your outlines through prose, character, and incursion rather than the other way around. The writing fills in the map, which I then use to update my world model, which I then use to write and revise […]

Dr. Jorna Benton is proud to be the Principal Scientist for the Climasphere, a massive, sea-going ecological nursery capable of supporting nearly every biome on Earth. On its inaugural mission to restore and re-wild collapsing ecosystems along the Atlantic coast, Jorna manages the Climasphere’s habitat and harvest, while her colleague—and inconveniently attractive commander—Ava Kaysar directs the rest of the vessel’s critical operations. When an explosion rocks the Climasphere, Jorna’s carefully-managed world is thrown into chaos, threatening both her personal and her professional future. And worse: she’s the prime suspect.

I asked what kind of music they listened to and if they were familiar with nettspend (a name new to me as well). I thought I was going to weird them out—a hulking man in his mid-30s, looming over them and posing this culturally sensitive question out of nowhere. Zoomers are notoriously skittish and need to be approached with caution in the wild, ideally with a handful of nutritional pellets and soothing rabbit noises.

In this study, we adopted an experimental approach to investigate the factors underlying the nature of our ancestral fascination with crystals. We designed a series of experiments with enculturated chimpanzees, one of our two closest living nonhuman relatives, who share significant genetic and behavioral traits with humans. The experiments aimed to identify which physical properties of crystals might have attracted chimpanzees and hominins.

Anthropic has expanded access to Claude’s memory feature to users on its free plan and upgraded its tool for importing memories from rivals’ chatbots.

One such early wayang encyclopedia is Darah Bharata, verzameling van hoofdpersonen uit de Wajang Poerwa (Darah Bharata, collection of the main characters from Wayang Purwa, 1919), which features elegant illustrations by the Javanese artist Raden Soelardi.
