Rare Earths Are Rare in the US Only Because We Choose To Export Environmental Challenges
As has been said by many commentators, rare earths are not particularly rare. Via source, here is an estimate of their abundance in the Earth’s surface: Note by the way the Y-axis is logarithmic so small changes in vertical position can mean a factor of 10 or more difference in concentration. But the rare earths are not unreasonably far off fairly common industrial metals like lead, nickel, copper, and molybdenum and well more common than gold, silver, and […]

EFF to Arizona Federal Court: Protect Public School Students from Surveillance and Punishment for Off-Campus Speech
Legal Intern Alexandra Rhodes contributed to this blog post. EFF filed an amicus brief urging the Arizona District Court to protect public school students’ freedom of speech and privacy by holding that the use of a school-issued laptop or email account does not categorically mean a student is “on campus.” We argued that students need private digital spaces beyond their school’s reach to speak freely, without the specter of constant school surveillance and punishment. Surveillance Software Exposed a […]

New tool makes generative AI models more likely to create breakthrough materials
The artificial intelligence models that turn text into images are also useful for generating new materials. Over the last few years, generative materials models from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have drawn on their training data to help researchers design tens of millions of new materials. But when it comes to designing materials with exotic quantum properties like superconductivity or unique magnetic states, those models struggle. That’s too bad, because humans could use the help. For example, […]

The Tiny AI Agent That Saved My System Before Any Monitoring Tool Even Noticed
Author(s): Manash Pratim Originally published on Towards AI. There’s a moment every engineer dreads. The dashboards are green. The alerts are silent. Everything looks calm until it isn’t. One minute your logs are flowing normally. The next minute, the system collapses like a badly timed Jenga tower. Image generated using AIThe article discusses the author’s experience creating a small Python agent that monitors system logs in real-time, catching issues before traditional monitoring tools can trigger alerts. By focusing […]

Google LiteRT NeuroPilot Stack Turns MediaTek Dimensity NPUs into First Class Targets for on Device LLMs
The new LiteRT NeuroPilot Accelerator from Google and MediaTek is a concrete step toward running real generative models on phones, laptops, and IoT hardware without shipping every request to a data center. It takes the existing LiteRT runtime and wires it directly into MediaTek’s NeuroPilot NPU stack, so developers can deploy LLMs and embedding models with a single API surface instead of per chip custom code. What is LiteRT NeuroPilot Accelerator? LiteRT is the successor of TensorFlow Lite. […]

Charting the future of AI, from safer answers to faster thinking
Adoption of new tools and technologies occurs when users largely perceive them as reliable, accessible, and an improvement over the available methods and workflows for the cost. Five PhD students from the inaugural class of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab Summer Program are utilizing state-of-the-art resources, alleviating AI pain points, and creating new features and capabilities to promote AI usefulness and deployment — from learning when to trust a model that predicts another’s accuracy to more effectively reasoning […]
