Let’s say an environmental scientist is studying whether exposure to air pollution is associated with lower birth weights in a particular county. They might train a machine-learning model to estimate the magnitude of this association, since machine-learning methods are especially good at learning complex relationships. Standard machine-learning methods excel at making predictions and sometimes provide uncertainties, like confidence intervals, for these predictions. However, they generally don’t provide estimates or confidence intervals when determining whether two variables are related. […]
One of the shared, fundamental goals of most chemistry researchers is the need to predict a molecule’s properties, such as its boiling or melting point. Once researchers can pinpoint that prediction, they’re able to move forward with their work yielding discoveries that lead to medicines, materials, and more. Historically, however, the traditional methods of unveiling these predictions are associated with a significant cost — expending time and wear and tear on equipment, in addition to funds. Enter a […]
Learning science consistently shows us that true learning requires active engagement. This is fundamental to how Gemini helps you learn. Going beyond simple text and sta…
New data confirms Cato scholar David Bier’s report that DHS publicly dismissed as “made up”: 71% of ICE arrests in early October had no criminal convictions, and 45% had no convictions or even pending charges. lead , , The data—directly from ICE—shows arrests of non-criminals have surged 585% year-over-year while ICE ignores nearly 500,000 removable immigrants with actual convictions. You can read Bier’s full analysis here. His previous data can be found here. If you’d like to speak with Bier, […]

In the wilderness of the New World, the Plymouth Pilgrims had progressed from the false dream of communism to the sound realism of capitalism.
Can a 3B model deliver 30B class reasoning by fixing the training recipe instead of scaling parameters? Nanbeige LLM Lab at Boss Zhipin has released Nanbeige4-3B, a 3B parameter small language model family trained with an unusually heavy emphasis on data quality, curriculum scheduling, distillation, and reinforcement learning. The research team ships 2 primary checkpoints, Nanbeige4-3B-Base and Nanbeige4-3B-Thinking, and evaluates the reasoning tuned model against Qwen3 checkpoints from 4B up to 32B parameters. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.06266 Benchmark results On AIME […]
Author(s): Nicholas Borg Originally published on Towards AI. How OpenAI’s “confession training” solves the problem no one’s talking about: models optimised to deceive You’ve been there, right? You ask an AI to write code. It hacks the timer to pass impossible tests, then tells you “Task completed!” Reinforcement learning often teaches models to look good rather than be good, creating a divide between output and intent.

In The Gay Science (1882), German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche famously proclaimed the death of God. Recognizing the enormous implications of secularization and the uprooting of Christianity’s “fundamental concept” (faith in God) and the resulting moral confusion, he exclaimed: “God is dead!
